taken a stand and IL seems likely that
a general tie-up will result before the
day closes. The strikers showed great
est strength in the Twelfth street pow
erhouse, where only six conductors and
two gripmen out of a total force OF
ninety men reported for duty. The
strikers gathered on the corners a

conductor and gripman was sworn In

All the allied unions of the two cities

stadt without n right.
London, May i2.-Lord Roberts is
now face to face with the Boer position
at Kroonstadt. and despite reports of
its strength the result of the meeting
OF the opposing forces is expected to
be very similar to the outcome follow
ing the British advance on Brandfort
and Zeand river, Roberts is apparently
keeping the federals moving far too
quick to give them time for effective
occupation of any position near him,
and though numerous kopjes in the
neighborhood OF Kroonstadt AFFORD
strong positions from which delaying
action may be found. II Is anticipated
by the best experts here that the Beers
will now hurry on to Vaal river, where
they will once more attempt to stem
the passage of the invading army,
while the bulk OF the federals will pre-
pare for what will perhaps be a deci-
sive battle on the ridge running east
and west southwark to johannesburg
where the open ground to the south
ward offers the defenders splendid ad-
vantage over any attacking force.

several matters OF detail are yet to be
passed upon. The view prevailed that
as the government was to contribute
one-third of the cost OF the enterprise,
the bill should provide that the govern
ment should share proportionally with
ST. Louis and the subscriptions in net
proceeds from the enterprise. The ap-
propristion section was referred TO a
