NO AGREEMENT AS YET.

Officials and Employees of st. Louis Transit
Company Still Comforting.
i. ST.. Louis, May 1.-THE distinguish
ing feature in the street car strike stu
alton was riot which broke out on the
opening of the Grand avenue line of
the st. Louis Transit system, during
the progress of which two men were
shot.
At nightfall the Transit company and
its $500 striking employees were no
nearer an adjustment Of their differ
ences than they were "a hours before.
The officials of the railroad company,
members of the employees grievance
committee and the president of the po-
lice board were in session for five hours
in an endeavor to reconcile the differ.
ences existing between the company
and it's employees.
On adjournment all the parties tax
ing part in the conference would not
talk for publication, simply stating that
no agreement had been arrived at and
that they would meet again in an effort
to accomplish something.
The Suburban company, pursuant tc
the agreement effected with it's striking
employees, ran on full schedule day and
night. This is the first time since the
strike was inaugurated on the road that
night schedule was maintained

WELCOME THE BOER ENJOYS

ington Programme.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Representa-
tive Sulzer of New York, chairman of
the committee to receive the Boer dele
gates in Washington, has received a
telegram from Messrs. Fischer, Vessels
and Wolmarans, stating that they could
not leave New York before Friday. Mr..
Sulzer then announced the programme
as follows:
On Thursday night committee con-
sisting of three United States senators,
three representatives and number of
prominent citizens will go to New York
to escort the delegates here: They will
leave New York Friday morning and
will be met at the depot here by COM
mittee Of 200 and taken to the Airing
ton hotel, where quarters have been en-
gagged by the reception committee. On
Friday night an informal reception will
be held at the hotel, and on Saturday
morning the Boer delegates will call to
see the president. On Saturday night
there will be meeting at the Grand
Opera House when the three delegates
will speak, and there will be addresses
also by senators and representatives.
Mr.. Sulzer says the stay Of the dele.
gates will be made the occasion of q
notable demonstration.

If BEATEN ON THE VAAL.

Boer Delegates Said to Have Advised
Transvaalers to Surrender.
LONDON, May 1.-THE most impor-
tant development in the days war
news is the statement cabled from Cape
Town announcing that the Boer dele.
gates had advised the Transvaalers to
surrender if defeated at the Vaal. This
remarkable announcement is vouched
for on good authority and evidently OBJ
tains more credence in Cape Town than
would mere rumor.
The occupation of Glencoe was merely
logical sequel of General Buffers adj
vance and the Beers retiring movement.
AS usual the Beers are reported to be
flying precipitat ely, but also, as usual,
the accounts add that their transport
and guns We're removed in safety,
which in itself is contradiction Of any
statement that the Beers were panic
stricken.
Nothing further has been heard from
Mafeking, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that the conditions there are un-
changed. The prolongation Of the
siege only intensifes Great Britain s
anxiety to hear Of it's relief.

GENERAL SCHWAN's OPINION.
Behaves Paciflcation of the Philippines
Will Soon BE Complete.

q behaves FacihcatiOn of the Philippines
Will Soon BE Complete.
SAN FRANCISCO, May Brigadier
General Schwan, who has been Gen.
eral Otis chief Of staff. in the Philip
pines pines for nearly a year, has arrived
here from Manila. Concerning the sit
nation in the Philippines General
Schwan is hopeful that it will not be
many months before affairs will have
naturarally adjusted themselves to the
American control and the robber gangs
will have been stamped out. @E.@s :.
1.-THE robber bands,'' said General
Schwan, 'are melted, by native politi-
clans, who impose upon the credulity
OF the masses: No people are so credu-
lous as the lower class Of Filipinos.
These leaders have been exciting the
ex-soldiers to continue on the warpath,
assuring them that an American cleo
ton was soon coming; that Mckinley
would be defeated and that the. Amer
leans would be withdrawn from the
Philippines. &c.,. ..
''There are about &C, 900 troops in the
Philippines now, which number is
ample for the situation. After the wet
season and after the national elections
in this country the pacification of the
philippines will naturally complete it.

lem is the civil government of the
islands, and that will come as a natural
consequence Of the Others"

Governor Smiths Opinion of Clark's Re-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Exam
liner prints an interview from. Wads-
worth, New, with Governor Smith of
Montana, who is en- route from Cali
fornia to Helena, in which the governor
is quoted as follows concerning the
resignation and reappointment of Sena-

II went to Calf ornia on business, -
the governor said, 'and never thought
that such action would be taken during
my absence from executive duties. or I
never would have left the chair in the
power of the lieutenant governor. I
knew that Spriggs was favorable to
Clark, but did not think he would be
guilty Of such an act in the face Of the
fact that not IS per cent Of the Montana
people are favorable to Clark as their
representative in the senate. There is
no way of resenting the act as the lieu.

rights as the governor during the lat,

Much Discussion Among Members
Regarding the Standing Of
Senator Clark.
Committee Meeting Called for
Friday to Considers Course
~. e. 80 - ~! y III ~
to Be Pursued.
Move Proposed That Will De-
lay Action on the Case at
: This Session. =. .@

WASHINGTON, May 17.-While there
is much discussion among senators of
the status of Senator Clark of Montana
there has not been sufficient crystalliza-
ton of sentiment to justify conclusion
as to what the final result may be. A
meeting of the committee on privileges
and elections has been called for next
Friday to consider what course shall be
pursued, in view of Senator Clark's res
ignation, with reference to t-4e commit
tee resolution declaring the seat vacant.
The members of the committee say that
they are not now prepared to predict
what course the committee will recon-
mend.
The present purpose is to move the
reference Of the senator's credentials to
the elections committee when they are
presented to the senate. The indica-
tions at present are that this reference
will be opposed by some of Mr.. Clark q
friends, who take the position that if
this disposition be made of the creden-
tials, it would be, for the purpose Of so
delaying report as to prevent action
upon the case during the present sit
ting Of congress, and thus practically
prevent Mr.. Clark's resuming his seat
at all, as new legislature will be con-
vened in Montana next January ;, a
month after the opening Of the next
session Of congress. ..
