UNDER POLICE PROTECTION.

Few Cars on the St. Louis Suburban syx-
tenn Running. s,% .1.
ST. LOUIS, May l1.-Considerably less
than the usual number of cars are being
run under police protection by the
Suburban system. Policemen are sta
toned on each car as well as at points
where trouble is feared, but the number
of passengers patronizing the lines of
that system is comparatively small
The most dependence is placed on the
steam railroads, bicycles and other vehi-
cles. Unless protection is afforded the
Transit company on all its lines no at
tempt will be made to run cars, Presi-
dent Whitaker says.
The First regiment has not been or
dered out, but company is being kept
at the armory constantly to protect the
states property from possible violence.
Down town retail stores are operating
at enormous loss as result of the street
car strike. Their proprietors and man
ayers are talking of reducing their
forces Of employees, and even Of closing
entirely until the strike is settled, if
existing conditions continue.
Governor Lon V. Stephens has ar
rived in St. Louis. The governor stated
that he had come to St. Louis for the
purpose of personally looking over the
situation and comforting with the police
board as to the best means of suppress
ing any outbreaks that might occur.

State Chairmen Confer on the Question of
the Vice Presidency.
Sioux FALLS, May 1.-The confer
ence of chairmen of state delegations
lasted until nearly 2 o'clock, the discus
sion being entirely over the question Of
the action to be taken in regard to the
vice presidential nomination. Chairman
Patterson made lengthy and, at times,
a bitter argument against repeating
the fatal mistake of four years ago.
and urging the chairmen to use their
influence against nomination. Sena.
tor Marion Butler, on the other hand,
strongly advocated nomination, such
action, in his belief, being essential to
the welfare of the party. A compro-
mise proposition was submitted by
George F. Washburn of Massachusetts,,
who advocated the naming of several
men to be presented to the Democratic
national convention, any Of whom
would be acceptable to the Populists.
No agreement was reached.

ST. LOUIS, May 11.-At noon, after

ernor Stephens, President of the
Police Board Hawes, Chief Of Police
Campbell, President Whitaker and
General Manager Baumhoff Of the
Transit company and a. r. Priest and
F.W. Lehman, attorneys for the rail-
way company, it was decided to apply
for warrants for the arrest of the strike
leaders. The charge alleged against
them is that they are interfering with
the operation of the Transit company's
lines. ..:s.ss..T se1s
When the action Of the conference be-
came known at strike headquarters it
caused considerable excitement. 1t
was stated that the strikers, under the
direction of President w. d. Mahon of
the Street Car Employees National or
gani zation, are preparing a new plan Of
campaign against the Transit company.
It is nothing less than the drawing to
their aid all support possible from
united labor in St. Louis. President
Mahon announces that the vital princi-
pie Of unionism is the point at issue in
this strike, and to preserve this princi-
pie, he adds, every effort will be made.

Senate Discusses the Proposition That the
Government Should Build One.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Practically
the entire session of the senate was de-
voted to the consideration of that Sec
ton Of the naval appropriation bill re-
lating to armor and armaments. The
debate largely hinged upon the PROPOSE
ton that the government should erect
an armor plant of it's own. Senator
Tillman submitted an amendment linn
iting the price to be paid for armor to
$500 per ton and providing also that the
government should erect plant Of its
own. Senators Tillman, Money and
Chandler advocated the erection of a
plant, while Mr.. Hale supported the
committee amendment providing for a
plant in the contingency that armor
could not be produced for $445 per ton.
No action was taken on the proposition,
the bill going over.

MATERIAL MEN YIELD.

Dealers in Brick and Mill Supplies WIZ
Sell to Anyone.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE labor war is
over SO far as the attitude of the pro-
ducers Of building material in Cook
county is concerned. It was announced
that the manufacturers and dealers in
brick and mill supplies had opened their
plants and no longer were refusing to
sell material for building to citizens or
contractors employing union labor.
Less than 800 men had been en-
ployed in Cook county brick yards since
the outbreak of the labor war. Already
more than 1900 men are at work.
Fear of a general strike Of trades
unionists as a possible result of the la
bor convention next Sunday is believed
to be one of the powerful factors look
ing toward settlement all along the
line For this convention the official
call has been issued. Y.

report in regard to the boarding of the
American ship Sea Witch by a boats
crew from, the British warship Wasp,
while in Portuguese waters in Delagoa
bay, other government dispatches from
Lourenzo Marques incidentally mention
that the Sea Witch was in trouble,
which, coupled with the fact that she

Attempts to Capture Boer Convoy at
zand River and Fails.
LONDON, May II. General Hutton's
mounted infantry brigade, including
the Canadians, with a part Of General
French's cavalry, crossed the zand
river Tuesday and began to work its
way cautiously along the railway north
ward on the track Of the retiring Beers.
About 5000 horsemen were probably
engaged in this advance. General Hut
ton, before he was Joined by part Of
General French's force, had a sharp
fight. This was on Monday when he
reached the river and saw the Boer
conveys on the other side and pressed
forward intending to cross and capture
them. The Beers, however, opened fire
with from eight to ten guns, forded the
river. above and below, seemingly in
thousands and sought to envelope the
British. General Hutton fell back sew
eral miles, the Beers following until
other British cavalry reinforced Hutton.
During the night the Beers retreated,
not further contesting the crossing.
The Boer attack on General Hutton
does not indicate any such panicky con-
ditions as have been alleged to exist
among them. Nevertheless the British
advance rolls on steady. General Broad
wood and General Hamilton have pene-
trated 15 miles beyond Winburg. Ac-
cording to Boer advioes sharp skirmishes
are occurring, and there was brisk
rifle engagement outside Of Winburg on

Crossing of the Zand River Causes Re-
Z s,a joicing in London. ,gE
LONDON, May 1.-THE crossing of
the Zand river by the British appears to
have been effected sooner than even the
most sanguine expected and Lord Rob-
erts' temporary headquarters is estab-
ished in cable cart on the north bank
Of the river. The opposition that the
federals are Offering shows that Wednes-
day report Of the abandonment of their
position were ill-f founded but Lord Rob
erts' advance force, consisting of from
10000 to $4,000 mounted men, besides
infantry, artillery and the naval con-
tingent, appears to be sufficiently pow
erful to overwhelm any opposition the
burghers can offer. Even though, as
reported, they have been reinforced by
1900 men from other commands and
possess a score Of, heavy guns, the ex-
perts believe the opposition will not be
prolonged longer than is necessary to
remove the guns and other impede
mentia in the direction of Kroonstadt.
Further reports from Lourenzo Mar
ques show that the customs authorities
there, in addition to clothing and shoes,
refuse to clear corned beef for the
Transvaal, holding it as contraband.
5@ Lord Roberts announcement Of the
flight Of the Beers from the Zand river
naturally caused considerable gratifca-
ton at the war Office, where it is now
believed that he will not allow the fed
erals enough breathing space to reform
toward Kroonstad. It is even thought
it is just possible that Lord Roberts

he win be able to keep his troops NOV
