Is tvlDtNTE QUE LOS B0tR0S

IRA DE GUtRRILLAS.
Desde la tOma de la Capital Boera

tas los Ingleses.

La noticia de la toma de Preto-
ria cause dolorosa impression en-
los animos de todos aquellos que,
como nosotros, simpatizan con los
valientes Beers en- su her6ica lu.
cha por la libertad. Fue este asi,
porque siendo aquella ciudad la
residencia de los poderes de la Re-
pdblica transvaliana, SO creyo que
con su caida quedaria terminada
la guerra Sud d-Africana y sometido
a injusto vasallaje uno de los pue-
blos mas libres sobre la TERRA.
Pero esos temores Sc han disipado
con el recibo de las liltimas noti-
cias transmitidas por el cable, las
cuales informan que la lucha SO ha
reanudado de nuevo y que en- al.
gunos de los encuentros habidos
han sido derrotados los ejercitos
do la opresion. )>e este Sc deduce
que la evacuation de la ciudad de
Pretoria fu6 un plau bien pensado
y que SO determine porque Sc crey6
mas ventajoso para la causa de la
libertad. Ell Generalismo Botha,
general en- jefe de los Beers, al
abandonar la capital transvaliana,

THE BASE BALL SITUATION
PRESIDENT HART DISCUSSES THE
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Thinks Mr.. johnson Made a Mistake
in Getting Out of the
Agreement.

CHICAGO, December 6.-President Hart
of the Chicago Base Ball Club Of the Ma
tional League will leave. probably tomor-
row, for the east to be present at the
league meeting next week. Most of the
questions which have been discussed since
the playing season closed. such as the re-
duction of the number Of players for each
club, return to the double umpire system
and change in players contracts, will come
up before the meeting A conference be-
tween league committee and committee
from the Players Association will be held
some time during the week, when the wants
OF the new union will be presented and dis
cussed. In discussing the future Of the
American League President Hart said:
1t looks as though the American League
intended to go 1t alone after this. And
think 1t will make a mistake If it does
President johnson and his associates have
been very successful and have developed
rapidly during the last two seasons but it
has been under organized base ball. AS soon
as they step out from under the agreement
matters will change. You will find that
without the protection of the national
agreement the National League will get the
best players just the same, and without
paying the price for drafting. So long as
we pay the best salaries we can get the
best players. l think the American
Leaguers have been a little hasty in STEP
ping out from the agreement, but 1t is not
the National Leagues business to urge
them to sign the Instrument

TWO HlGHWAYMEN CAUGHT
TO HOLD Up CHICAGO
STREET CAR.
Passengers Wanted to Lynch Them
A Second Attempt at
Robbery.

CHICAGO, December 6-Two attempts
were made to hold up cars on the west side
last night The first was productive Of a
fight and the final capture of two Of the
robbers by the crew and passengers Of the
car, and came near ending in a lynching.
Only prompt action on the part of the con-
ductor and motorman, who hastened the
prisoners to patrol box and summoned the
police, prevented the enraged passengers
men. Two hours later three men tried to
hold up car on West 10th avenue. The
car was chased two blocks by the bandits,
who fired several shots after it, but the
driver whipped up his horses and escaped.
The first affair occurred near Union Park.
In the fight two of the three robbers were
captured. The third man fled down the
street followed by the angry passengers.
When the pursuers Of the third bandit
returned, after a fruitless chase, and joined
the other passengers the trouble started.
The crowd surrounded the car and de-
manded the prisoners.
Hang them cut here!' shouted one man.
"We'll put an end to their business right
here:'
There's lots of good trees handy" shout
ed another.
Conductor Wilson refused to give up his
prisoners, and dropped the catches on the
door. Motorman Horan slipped out of the
front door wa1le Wilson was arguing with
the crowd, and turned on the current. The
car sped rapidly toward Madison street,
followed by a number of the crowd, but the
former passengers were soon diStanced and
gave up the chase.
When Madison street was reached the
prisoners were turned over to the police.

Mr.. Littlefield's Bill.
A delegation of ladies of the W. c. T U
now in session in Washington, and others
interested in temperance work today was
given hearing by the House committee
on insular affairs In advocacy of Repre-
sentative Littlefields bill, introduced yes
terday, prohibiting the sale of liquor,
opium and tntoxicants to aboriginal tribes
and native races Of the Pacific islands, The
ladies announced to speak were Mrs Ste

Mary Upham Of Wisconsin, Mrs Scoyel of
Minnesota, Mrs. Rounds of Illinois Mrs
Gulick and Misses Leetch ana Brehm J
w. Cummings of New York of the National
Temperance Society also was present.
Mr.. Littlefield explained his bill and
urged the necessity of adequate legislation
to prevent the spread of drinking in the
Philippines, Hawaii and other Pacific is
lands.-
Misses Leetch, Brehm and others were
heard along similar lines. 1t was pointed
out by members of the con mittee that the
measure was rather broad specifying that
II any American citizen sells, etc, to any
aboriginal native, etc. 1t was stated that
this would apply to Delegate Wilcox of
Hawaii when he came to Washington
as he is a native.
The committee took the measure under
advisement.
an amendment to the army reorganization
bill which he will present today making
an absolute prohibition Of the sale of liquor
In canteens or other military property. An
antt-canteen provision already is in the blu,
but 1t has met some opposition on the
ground that the prohibition applies only to
the military service and does not prevent
civilians from selling liquor on military
property. The Littlefield amendment is de-
signed to be explicit and far-reaching in
absolute prohibition.

TO FIGHT GLASS TRUST.
Philadelphia Paint Club Resists
Manufacturers Demands.

PHILADELPHIA. De cmber t.-At a
meeting Of the Philadelphia Paint Club,
last night. the first step was taken in the
direction of d general movement to resist
what i considered an unjust demand upon
the jobbers Of paints and glass by the win
dow glass manufacturers
1t is stated that notice has been served
10y the manufacturers on all their custom
erx that if they expect to continue their
business relations they must agree not to
handle any foreign made glass unless it is
the output of factory for which some
member of the manufacturers combna ton
has the agency in the United States. This
would put an end to competition in certain
liEcs of glass that are not made in this
country and besides dealers would be un-
able to secure supplies Of any kind. unless
ny agreement was signed. The Paint Club
decided TO at once set about enlsting all or
ganizations in the trade throughout the
United States in an effort tn fight hat the
embers regard as a most unjust demand.
