JubilaIiOn in London,

LONDON, June 6.-England has been
celebrating the fall of Pretoria very
much as she did the relief of Mafeking.
Drunkenness has been trifie less than
when Baden-Powell was the hero, but
i'll London and other large towns the
scenes were practically repetition of
those which marked the other victories.
and long after midnight uproarious
yelling, the footing of horns and dis
cordant chants ascended from city
streets usually at such an hour as silent
as the grave.
Into the faces of all were thrust huge
peacock feathers, described for no
known reason as ''Kruger's persuad.

jostled and tossed around amid the &c.
static jubilation of the crowd.
Then the night grew older and row.
dyism OF the worst form held sway.
From almost every barroom came
sounds OF inebriate attempts to sing

to Yosemite, reached the scene Just as
the robber was about to open the express
box. Seeing the troopers, he disap-
peared in the brush.
The robber spoke with Swedish ac-
cent and his description corresponds
with that of the man who held up two
stages at Big Oak Flats on May 1S. He
gave the driver of one of the stages a
card bearing the legend ''The Black
Kid" saying:
II hope we will get better acquainted,
old man.

Lord Roberts postscript announcing
the loss of the Yeomanry battalion

the presumption is that the Boer COM

CANADIANS ON THE ALERT.
Dominion Cities Apprehensive About the
Further Use of Dynamite.

Dominion Cities Apprehensive About the
Further Use of Dynamite.
TORONTO, June 4.-Thirty mounted
Dominion police patrol night and day
the banks of the Wei land canal with
orders to shoot on sight any man who
fails to stop when called upon to do so.
They are there to prevent any further
attempts to dynamite the locks of the
canal, such as that of few weeks ago,
for which three men are now serving
life terms in the Kingston penitentiary.
Canadians in all parts of the domin-
ion are watching and waiting anxiously
for the next news from the canal, which
they fear will tell of another STEP and
possibly successful one, in the plot for
it's destruction.
Enough is known about the conspiracy
to make it plain that it is splendidly or
ganized; that it has clever leaders and
desperate members in the Clan ma Gael;
that it is provided with funds, and that
the Welland canal crime was not it's sole
end, but only one manifestation of the
work it has in hand.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Every power
house and car shed of the St. Louis
Transit company is being guarded by
Sheriff Pohlman's posse. In all about
900 men are on duty. The posse is
armed with Winchester repeating shot
guns. Shells loaded with buckshot will
be used in case of a disturbance. While
on guard the members of the sheriff s
posse will be subject to strict military
discipline. Those not on guard will be
held in reserve at the different police
stations. None of the deputies will be
used to guard the cars, the police being
retained for that service.

CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS.

Four Killed, Four Fatally Injured by
Untimely Explosion of Nitro-Glycerine.
MARIETTA, o., June AT Whipple,
Just east of this city, last night, in
shooting well on the Kelly farm, there
was premature explosion of so quarts
of glycerine. -Four persons were killed
and four fatally wounded, while three
others are crippled for life The killed
are:
WILLIAM V WATSON.
H. E. ZEl N.
FRANK SP4..-..,.
THOMAS DANIELS.
Fatally wounded:
JAMES P. SPEERs.
HERMAN SPEERS'
DAWSON STELLAR.
WILLIAM CARPENTER.
Seriously Injured John Stellar, Walter
Daniels and Henry Stellar.
Everybody on the grounds was either
killed or injured. The explosion oc-
Cured just before the men were getting
ready to close up for the day. The
drilling had been completed ready for
the final shooting. The well was being
shot by the Humes Torpedo company,
which had lowered 80 quarts of nitro
glycerine into the drilling. When the
"go-devil' was sent down it did not 60
off as expected and then what is known
as lack squib,," composed of heavy
iron and dynamite with a protected
fuse, was dropped into the well. 1t was
expected that when they came together
there would be the usual blast that
would shoot the well, but it seems the
"jack squib' exploded first and the
crowd rushed to see the shooting of the
gusher and when they reached the der.
rick the first charge put down went of
with terrific force, wreclSing everything
and blowing the men in every direction
The remains of those killed had to be
picked up in pieces. All the victims
are residents of this county, well-to.d
and prominent citizens.

erts:
PRETORIA, June 5.-Just before dark
yesterday the enemy were beaten back
from nearly all the positions they had
been holding and Ian Hamilton's
mounted infantry followed them to
within 1000 yards of Pretoria, through
which they retreated hastily. Delisle
then sent an officer with flag of truce
into the town, demanding it's surrender
in my name. Shortly before midnight

South African republic, Sandberg, mill
tary secretary to Commandant General
Botha, and general officer of the Boer
army, who brought me a letter from
Botha, proposing an armistice for the
purpose OF settling the terms
of surrender. / replied that 1
would gladly meet the commandant
general the next morning, but that
was not prepared to discuss any terms,
as the surrender of the town must be
unconditional. asked for reply by
daybreak, as had ordered the troops to
march on the town as soon as it was
light. In his reply Botha had told me
he had decided not to protect Pretoria
and he trusted women, children and
property would be protected. At
O'Clock today, while on the line of
march, I was met by three of the prin-
cipal officers with a flag of truce stat
ing their wish to surrender the town.
1t was arranged that Pretoria should
be taken possession of by her majesty S
! troops at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs.
Botha and Mrs. Kruger are both in Pre-
