TIE Morning Post says: This marks
the point where the guerrilla phase
ends and the bandit phase begins. All
the papers appeal strongly to the gov
ernment to hurry forward reinforce
nlents, since it Is evident that the Boer
leaders have now become desperate
and Cancellation is quite useless. The
Pretoria correspondent of The Daily

of Mr.. Pretorius, a former president
of the late South African republic,
from futile endeavor to persuade the
Boer leaders to surrender.
Details of the attacks upon Kaal-
fontein and Zuurfontein stations show
that there were only small garrisons
of about 120 men at each station. The
British had excellent trenches which
enabled them to Withstand the attacks

that reinforcements were coming to
the garrisons, retired.

at one end. Here were seated $50 won
en- and children, and the women at the
farther end of the balcony, away from
the stairway, seeing that the rush to-
ward the exit was blocked TO them and
their children, began at once TO throw
the little ones over the railing TO the
floor ten feet below. The children fell
into the midst of the maddened throng
and were at once trampled under foot
1t is known that three of the dead
were children who were thrown fronl
the balcony and were trampled by the
crowd, with not a chance for their
lives. Following the children many of
the women sprang from the balcony
upon the crowd below and others
swinging over hung by their hands be-
fore they dropped.
On the main floor the crush was
much worse than in the balcony. The
main exits from the hall, and the only
ones known to a ma jority of those who
frequent the place, are two doors in the
south end of the main auditorium that
open upon winding stairs, which eight
steps down unite into one broader
flight leading to the main door at the
Twelfth street front. Around these
two doors a frantic mass of scream
iuS men, nOAucn anu CulluF0u was
packed, all struggling fiercely to force
their way down the stairs. At the
landing where the two flights of stairs
winding down from the main hall unite
woman stumbled and fell. In an in
slant a score of people were down,
and before the rush was over, four
lives had been crushed out in a space
four feet wide by six feet long.
Within five minutes after the be-
ginning of the panic it was all over,
and the police and firemen who came
hurrying TO the scene of the disaster
were called upon TO do nothing beyond
carrying away the dead and injured
and keeping back the thousands of peo-
pie who tried to force their way into
the building. AS soon as the news of
the panic had spread throughout the
district-which seemed but very few
minutes-all the Hebrews from that
part of the city rushed to the place
bent upon learning the names of the
dead and wounded. Men and women
fought desperately with the officers in
their efforts to enter the building and
learn if any of their loved ones were
among the dead.
Later.-Ali the persons who were
reported missing Saturday night aft
er the panic in the Twelfth Street
Turner hall were accounted for yes
terday 1t is Thought now that none
of the injured viii die. In the Jew
ish quarter it is asserted that the
panic was started with malicious in
tent. The manager of the hall de-
clares his belief that the panic Satur-

Play Ends in a Tragedy.

women and children, was all Hebrews.
The hall stands in the center of dis
tlict densely populated by Jews. The
play was nearly. over when the cry
which caused the panic was raised,
and within five seconds after it rang
through the hall the entire audience
was converted into frantic mob, ev-

the safety which lay beyond the doors
of the building.

the Chinese plenipotentaries have been
directed to sign the joint note of the
powers.
Peking, Jan. 1.-THE joint note of
the powers has finally been signed by
the Chinese peace commissioners.
Prince Ching signed Saturday and Ii
Hung Chang, who is better, signed it
yesterday. 1t is understood that the
malady from which Ii Hung Chang
is suffering is Bright's disease. He
was feeling worse Saturday and there
fore postponed the affixing of his sig
nature, but Prince Ching was hopeful
that he would be able to sign yester-
day, which proved to be the case.
Ching Makes a Protest.
Prince Ching has protested to the
court against the appointment, said to
be contemplated. of Viceroy Chang
Chih Tung as a plenipotentiary in the
place of Ii Hung Chang. He thinks
the latter's advice absolutely essential,
although he believes it might be ad-
visable to appoint third plenipotenti-
ary for China and -reiterates his desire
for the appointment of Sheng, who
would be acceptable to the foreigners.
So far as Chang Chih Tung is con-
cerned the ENJOYS who know him per-
sonally say that while he is strongly
anti-foreign, and has never made auy
secret of his likes and dislikes, they
believe he would be satisfactory rep
resentative of the Chinese, and there
would not be any objections to him on
the score of his recent utteranceS. In
deed, some of the ministers think it
would be wise for China to make
Chang Chih Tung a plenipotentiary.
ENJOYS Hear From Home.
Most of the ENJOYS have received
word from their governments that the
negotiations must be conducted in Pc
king, on the ground that for various
reasons other places suggested would
be Objectionable. The Russians say
they swill formally turn over the rail-
