THE SITUATION IN ST. LOUIS.
Gov. stephens Orders an Increase Of the
Police Force by $500 Finer
zenoy Men.

st. Louis, May 14.-Not a street car
Oh any of the lines was operated yes
terday, and everything seemed to be
at Il standstill except the vehicles that
conN eyed the crowds from point to
point The streets, usually crowded
on Sunday, were almost deserted in
some sections of the city, and had il
not been for the rattle of vehicles ana
the shouting of drivers it would have
been as quiet as day in a country
village.
\ conference was held at the Plant
ers' hotel last night between Coy. Lon
V Stephens, the police board, Chief-of-
Police Campbell and the captains of
the various districts, at which it was
decided to at once swear in $500 adj
dltional patrolmen, to assist the reg
ular force in strike duty
Tie governor arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon, and shortly after
ward issued letter to the police Off
cinls urging that law and order be pre-
served. After this letter was sent 10
the authorities the conference was ar
ranged. At the meeting the governor
| heard evidence from the chief and his
captains as to the strike condition,
aud after going over all the ground
the decision was reached to employ
the emergency policemen.
After the conference had adjourned
II was generally conceded by the po-
lice officials that the extra policemen
were necessary because the present
force was inadequate to handle the
strike as it should be and offer the
public proper protection.
To-day at noon the conference be-
tween the Transit company's officials
aud the grievance committee of the
strikers is expected to be held at the
Mercantile club for the purpose OF dis
cussing propositions looking 10 an adj
irstment of the differences between
them. The Business Mems committee
will be present. 1t called the meeting.
This morning cars will be running
on the Suburban, Lindell, Park and
Laclede divisions and efforts will he
made to move cars on the Bellefon-
taine and California avenue divisions.
During the day President Whitaker
thinks some plan will be arranged
whereby cars can be safety operated at
nieht. at least on some divisions. Chief
Campbell stated yesterday that he
would be prepared to move all ears for
winch the Transit company has crews.
A step toward probable settlement
O. the strike on the Suburban road
= was taken yesterday, when General
: Manager Jenkins appointed an inter
e mediator to present terms for com
premise to the striking employees oi
S that road. The terms probably will be
e presented to-day to the men for theiI
o consideration by Harry B. Hawes.
a At the conference of union labol
= representatives at Wahalla hall las

Rerlin. May 13.-The occupation OF
Kroonstad by Lord Roberts without re-
sjs,ance has caused the greatest sur
prise here. The military expert of the
LokaI Anzeiger finds an explanation in
the fact that many of the Beers have
deserted. He says:
Lord Roberts advance was splen-
ddIv executed 1t is worthy to be
placed beside the Kandahar eNpedi-
ton. The situation is now changed so
greatly in favor of the British that the
fate q the Transyaal Beers is settled.
President Steyn's movement east

rumors of chickering's between the
