for Service in the st. Louis Street
Railway Trouble.

ST. Louis, June 9.-It was given out
yesterday that the st. Louis Transit
system, feeling encouraged at its sue
cess in operating cars Thursday night
on the Linden division, would try
the same experiment on four other
divisions last night-the Olive street,
Laclede avenue, Park and Compton
avenues.
Sheriff Pohlman has sworn in 1880
men up to this time. It is expected
that the full complement of $500,
called for by the board of police COM
missioners will be secured by the end
of the week.
mob of furious women and boys
last night beat and denuded Lena
Kaenter, a young woman who makes
her living by peddling lunches among
employees of the California avenue
street car line. When the mob had
stripped her to the waist one woman
daubed her with green paint while
two others held her, the jeering boys
and women of the mob applauding the
outrage and throwing mud. Two
shop girls were attacked by the same
mob an hour later and they also were
partly denuded before they escaped.
An organized committee of women
began to visit the public schools yes
terday afternoon, accusing the teach
ers of riding on the tabooed cars and
threatening them with bodily harm
if they did it again.

Orleans to be transported to South

June Gen. Talbot Coke, with the
Tenth brigade and the South African

The enemy made some resistance and
a good deal of sniping occurred. Our

position. I hope [ have obtained
position from which I can render

ROBERTS CUT OFF.
rwenty-One Miles of Important Railway
Torn Up by the BOers-SituatlOn
Is ssVexaCious''

London, June 1.-THE Beers have
torn up 81 miles of Lord Roberts
vital line of railway between America
siding and Roodeval. It is a bold
raid and vexatious, but it does not
disquiet the military authorities as
yet, for they expect Kelly-Kenny to
drive off the marauders and to re-
open the line. The rapidity of the
advance of Lord Roberts cannot have
permitted him to accumulate reserves
of stores. Therefore an interruption
of the railway even for week must
embarrass the army and may bring
the forward operations to a standstilI.
Nothing has been heard from Lord
Roberts for three days. This raid on
the railway, the strenuous oprosi-
ton to Gen. Rumble, and the nimble
escape of Commandant General
Botha's division have forced the war
office observers to the reluctant con-
clusion that war is not yet over, al
though even the occasional civilian
Boer sympathizers cannot see how the
Beers will be able to do anything to
change the result.

Dewey was shown the statement made
by the Manila Times concerning an

Said he:
I never wrote a letter to Aguinaldo in
my life. Whenever I wanted to see him
I sent for him. He was employed by me
for certain purposes, just as I employed
a lot of other people among the natives.
[ made him no promises. If there had

GRAVE CRISIS I'm cNINA.
A wild RumOr That PekIn Ii Burning
COssacks Attacked-Rising at Ran
King-What May Be Done

London, June 1.-THE Daily Mail
has the following from Tien Tsin
dated June s: 1.-THE widest rumors
are current here to the effect that
Pekin is burning, but they lack con-
fr1nation.''
On Friday, according to dispatch
to the Daily Express from Shanghai.
a force of Cossacks, accommodating
outside of Tien Tsin, was attacked by
rabble of thousands, armed with
spears and swords and some rifles.
The Cossacks fired upon their assail-
ants killing several. A Russian lieu
tenant was wounded by bullet in
the stomach.
There is a serious rising at Nan
King. Yesterday the mob is said to
have attacked the palace of the
viceroy.
All dispatches out of Pel1in are
censored in the interest of the en-
press. The determination of the for
eign ministers to increase the garri-
son at Pekin leads to a belief in for
eign circles in Tien Tsin and Shanghai
that the powers will never leave the
Chinese capital, but will make China
another Egypt.
The American mission buildings at
Tung Chau, IL miles from Pekin,
which were abandoned by the mis-
sionaries, have been looted and burned
by the Chinese soldiery who were
sent to protect them. Within three
days Is native Christians, well known
men who had been trained for years
by American missionaries, have been
rnassacred near Tung Chau. Many of
them were burned alive.

does not know how the legislature
would view deficiency of 100000 for

An American writer tells a good story OF
his college days. 1t relates to a negro gar
dener, a jolly fellow, with whom the boys
used to have considerable sport. Sometimes
he would floor them with his repartee.
One day in spring Sambo had been burning
the college green in order to get rid of the
old withered grass. A freshman came along,
and, thinking to have some fun, shouted:
'Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to burn
that stuff
E'Why?" inquired Sambo.
Because replied the freshman, "it'n
make that grass as black as you are
''Well, massa," retorted Sambo, dat all
right. Yes, OATS all right. Never you fear;

you are!7-London Answers.
