 In addition to the police and deputy mar shals sworn in today, a force of United States marshals will be on hand to inter- fere in case the injunction is ignored, and there is every probability the strikers will not desst in their efforts to bring out the men who have so far failed to join them.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 12-The federal ferring this evening in the strike inaug urated this morning by the union em- ployees of the Metropolitan Street Railway company.
 Judge William c. Hook of Leavenworth, Kan, sitting in Kansas City, issued from the United States district circuit court to- night an injunction that is more absolute and sweeping in its terms than any in- Junction ever before secured in this dis capital.
 The injunction is made absolute for week, the matter being set for a hearing on Saturday next, and if its restrictions shall be observed by the strikers, the Metropolitan company has its fight won, for the strikers hands are tied for seven days.
 The injunction is predicated upon the fact against as threatening the interests of the company are residents of other states, and the further fact that the strikers threaten to prevent the company from carrying out its contract with the United States gov ernment to transport the city mail car riers to and from their routes.
 Harry Bryan, the national organizer of the Amalgamated association, described as a resident of Michigan, is one of the par ties enjoined, and the others named are twenty-two leaders, several of whom are mentioned as residents of Ohio and Kan sas.

 During the debate MT. Chandler, New Hampshire, delivered a sensational speech in which he charged that the government had been defrauded in the adoption of the Harveyized armor. He declared a similar fraud was proposed in the attempt to force the government to adopt the Krupp armor. MT. Spooner, Wisconsin, and MT Hale, Maine made notable speeches deprecating the war talk yesterday by MT. Lodge of Massachusetts. Neither the senator from Wisconsin nor the senator from Maine was fearful that we might become involv- ed in difficulty with Germany on account of the Monroe doctrine.
 Mr. Hoar. Massachusetts, protested against the "wretched imperia1istic busi- ness," and the talk that this nation had only recently become a world power" asserting that it had been world power since the war of 1872.

BRITISH SATISFIED
With Present Condition of Affairs in
 South Africa

London, May 13 a m.-The situation at the seat of war in South Africa is as satisfactory from the British viewpoint the most sanguine friend could have hoped The occupation of Kroonstadt prac- tically places the whole Orange Free State in, British possession.
 It is evident from Lord Roberts last dis patch, that the disintegration has com menced. The Free Staters are scattering to their homes, while the Transvaalers have gone. northward, declining to fight longer in the Orange Free State. What little resistance the former still are likely to make seems to be centering at Lindely, whither President Steyn has transferred his government.
 It Is evident that the strategy of Lord Roberts and the rapidity of his advance have bewildered and disheartened the Boers. as their resistance since. the British reached zand river has been slight.
 The only point where they seriously ate uemptvd ta check the advance seems to have been the British rgut, whore thev defended with some vigor two kopjes, which eventually were carried by the East Lanca- shires and Sussexs, the Boers finally re- treating, leaving group of gunners dead on the top of one of the hills. The only point in the Free State where the Boers seem in any force, except at Lord Roberts front, is on the south where Generals Rum de. Campbell and Brabant are holding them in check west of Ficksburg and Lady Brand, and gradually pushing them back
 No News from afeking
 There Is no further news regarding the advance of the relief colmun to Mafekng, but it is possible Lord Roberts success will result in forcing the Boers to raise tha siege. Pretoria advices via LourenZo Mar quez state taht the Boers' supply of smokes less powder is exhausted and that all eff forts to manufacture fresh supply have been in vain.

Revolution Not suppressed

San Francisco, Cal, May 12.-The chief of the steamer San Juan, which arrived today from Central American points, said today: The claim of the Columbian government that the revolution has been suppressed is absurd. The revolutionists are increasing in strength every day, and Panama is liable to fall into their hands at any time. They are not only better armed than the govern ment forces, but they secretly have the sympathy of the people, who have become greatly incensed at the arbitrary acts of the government.

 WATCHMAN SLEPT
 WHILE ON DUTY And Frightful Railroad Wreck
 Was Result, SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED The Wreckage Then Caught Fire and the Property Loss is Enormous -Man Who is Responsible
 Offers No Excuse

Philadelphia May 12.-Through the neg ligence of tower man, who lay asleep at his post, disastrous and fatal freight wreck occurred here last night in a tun- mel on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. An engineer and fireman were killed, and five unknown tramps are supposed to be dead in the wreck. The property loss is es- timated' at $1s5,0oo. The man who was sponsble for the accident, Frank Lamtell, surrendered himself late this evening to c. 0. Bent, superintendent or the Bal timore and Ohio company. He is now un- der arrest. The known dead are George Laub, engineer, and George Hinchman. fireman, both of this city. Their bodies and those of the tramps are buried be- heath the wrecked cars. The tunnel runs under Twenty-eighth street from Callow Hill street to Paramount park, distance of 2,S00 feet. It is semi-circular, and the tracks are upgrade from the Callow Hill street entrance.
 Every night train known the night freight express leaves here Tor New ork. Last night the train was made up in two sections, the first section containing forty three cars. When it reached the tunnel the engine was unable to pull it up the grade, and seventeen cars were detached and left standing about midway in the tunnel, white the others were drawn through It was the duty of Tower Opera tor Lamtell to set red semaphore at the Callow Hill street entrance. Being asleep as he admits, he failed to do this, leaving the white light in view.
 e-a At Thirty A.iles an Hour
 At Il 80 O clock the second section of the freight, comprising thirty-eight cars, ap- preached at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Engineer -Laub seeing the white signal, gave the locomotive extra speed in order to carry the train up the grade. The rapidly moving train eollided with the standing cars in the tunnel with terrific force.
 Fire immediately broke out, and three oil cars, each containing 1000 gallons of oil, ex- ploded Soon the wreckage was a mass of flames The fire department was called out, and though the firemen have been at work all last night and today, it has been impos- sible as yet to extinguish the flames
 Owing to the heat and smoke and gaseous air in the tunnel the firemen entered the tunnel only a short distance without being overcome. Holes were dug in the street to make vents and the roof of the tunnel was blasted, but to no avail.
 Shortly after the collision Lamtell dis appeared, but gave himself up this evening" When questioned he said 'I did it. Why the white signal remained in place I don't know but it was there and the train went through l was asleep or doZing, and why I cafrfiot say, except that feel myself over worked. I am ready to stand the censure and take what comes to me. l have no excuse to offer"
