drilled his men in the use of the riot
shot gun. vMany never had a gun in

General Manager Baumhoff OF the
Transit company says he Is feeling en-
couraged at the outlook for a resump-
ton OF car service. Cars are now run

are transferring their efforts in some
cases from the new employees TO the
passengers in order to keep them from
riding over the transit lines. In almost
every instance these efforts have been
directed against women. Several school
teachers have been seriously injured
as a result of this treatment.

London, June 1.-With johannesburg

the Britlshs the nation now eagerly
awaits the occupation OF Pretoria.
Doubtless Lord Roberts ere this has
started for the Transvaal capital. The
measures of resistance which he will
encounter during the 80 miles which
separate the gold reef city from the
former seat OF Boer government is still
a matter of conjecture, though most
of the critics agree in believing 1t will
not be sufficiently strong TO delay the
occupation OF Pretoria longer than to-
morrow. 8f
Once there the recuperation Of the
