OYER THREE THOUSAND MEN ARE OUT.

Oat, - Bat Its Appearanea tha
Signal for Attack by 4
Mob Causes.
A St. Louis, May 8 special says: In
accordance with a decision reached by
the St. Louis Transit company's em
ployes early this morning' a g-eneral
strike was inaugurated on the immense
system at daybreak today. No cars
were in operation, save a few on the
Park avenue division. The crowds
were allowed to run the cars unmo
lested until 12:45, when car No. 5 of
the Park avenue division , was badly
wrecked on Washington avenue, be
tween Sixth and Seventh streets by a
volley of stones thrown by a crowd of
meh and bovs, The suburban line,
many of the employes of which had
been on a strike for several days, was
also tied up after the early niorning1
hours.
From time to time durinjr the after
noon and night attempts were made to
operate the cars, but in nearly every
case resulted in attacks on the crews
by crowds along the streets, practical
ly stoppings trafiic.
The company, when it was found
that tha cars could not be operated,
ordered them back to the sheds. Nu
merous cars were stoned and the men
operating- thera attacked by crowds
along the streets. The strikers de
clare that they have had no active
part in these hostile demonstrations.
Vehicles of all sorts were pressed
into service by the citizens of the city
in order to go to and from business.
The salient features of the men's de
mands, which the Transit company re
fused to grant are briefly as follows:
rwi a. w .
j. nat aii conductors, motormen, grip-
men and all employed in the shtds
shall be compelled to be members of
the union; that the officers of . the
union, together with the officers of
the company, shall have full power to
adjust all differenaes that may arise
and that in the event of their failing-
10 a?ree lf mutually agreed to, place
the case before three arbitrators.
That any member suspended by the
Vsi -a
union snail oe suspended oy tne com
pany without pay until such time as
the union shall request his reinstate
ment.
VT1 A. . A m
a nat any man eiectea to office in
the union requiring his absence for
not more than one year shall, upon
his retirement from such office, have
his old place with the company.
Attempts at arbitration were made
as soon as the gravity of the situation
was realized. Mayor Zeigenhein ad
dressed a letter both to the strikers
and to President Edward S. Whittaker
of the St. Louis Transit company, of
fering his services as mediator. Re
plies were received from both sides,
but in neither case favorable. The

WILL BENEFIT THE STATE
New Lav In Regard to Xatlonal Guard
Xlelps Nebraska.
Adjutant General Barry has received
word from Congressman Stark that
:he house had passed the appropriation
bill giving $1,000,000 annually ia sup
port of the national guard of the various
states. It is believed that the senate
will pass the bill and perhaps place
the amount at the original figure, S3,
000,000. Before starting for Sioux
Falls General Barry wired Congress
man Stark as follows: "In behalf of
the Nebraska national guard, I desire
to thank you for the earnestness and
ability displayed by you, in securing
the passing of house roll No. 9510, fo
the armament and equipment of the
organized militia."
Under the present law the Nebraska
national guard draws 56,900 worth of
supplies annually, but under the new
bill the amount would be $17,250, or
534,500 for two years. To equip the
guard with modern guns and other
ordnance would require the full allot
ment of 517,250 for several years.
BODIES ARE IDENTIFIED
Mystery Surrounding; Swan and TV llgns
Cleared.
The bodies of the two men who blew
ut the gas in the Henderson house, at
Omaha. - .recently, have at last been
ntified.t and it is now definitely
known which is the corpse of Wilgus
and which . is Swan. A man named
David Ridnour came from Norda
way, Ia., to claim the remains of A. R.
Wilgus. Mr. Ridnour says that Wil
gus had lived with his (Ridnour's)
father since early boyhood.
This clears away the mystery sur
rounding the two 4 deaths in the lower
Farnum street hotel. Wilgus, it seems.
died first, and Swan is the man who
survived the effects of the poisonous
gas for forty hours. Nothing is known
as to Swan's antecedents. Telegrams
sent to Minneapolis, the place from
which he registered, have elicited no
response as yet, and he will probably
be buried at the county's expense.

their home and when they returned
they, complained to their mother of
sickness. An examination by the par

the suspicions. The police were called,

Already Passed Other News
A dispatch from London, dated May
10. says: . General nutton's mounted
infantry brigade, including the Cana
dians, with a part of General French's
cavalry, crossed the Zand river Tues
day and began to work its way cau
tiously along the railway northward
in the track of the retiring Boers.
About 8,000 horsemen were probably
engagaged in this advance. General
Hutton, before he was joined by a part
of General French's force, J had a sharp
fight.
This was on Monday, when he reach
ed the river and saw the Boer convoys
on the other side and passed forward,
intending to cross and capture them.
The Boers, however, opened fire with
from eight to ten guns, forded the
river above and below, seemingly in
thousands, and sought to envelop the
British. General Hutton fell back
several miles, the Boers firing until
other cavalry reinforced Hutton. Dur
ing the night the Boers retreated, not
further contesting the crossing.
The Boer attack on General Hutton
does not indicate any such panicky
conditions as has been alleged to ex
ist among them.
From Boer sources comes the report
that in a skirmish outside Mafeking,
May 5, Colonel Baden-Powell was
slightly wounded
The Transvaal volksraad adopted
resolutions on Tuesday expressing in-
t dignarion at the British for not con
ducting the war in a civilized manner,
for killing wounded Boers with lances,
for using armed Kaffirs under British
officers, and for ill treating prisoners.
President Kruger, after his formal
speech on "Monday, said the British
I were prepared for war in 1896, as doc
j uments which the burghers had cap
S tured showed, but that the Transvaal,
! to avoid bloodshed, provided a
seven
year franchise and a five year fran-
chise.
"Great Britain still demanded," he
I declared, "and the republic at length
1 accepted the challenge. Even should
I the British enter the Transvaal and
j take Pretoria the Boers will still re
1 main a freee people. Our trust is in
God, and we may be confident that He
will defeat the most powerful gener

; Thus the British advance guard is

headquarters are now wiring freely
concerning the incidents connected
with the occupation of . Smaldeel.
Some exasperation is expressed at the
ease with which the Boers escaped
. with their transports before the very
j eyes of the British. x
Smaldeel is a village of only a
! score of dwellings, but is expanded in
: one night to a vast canvas city, and the
1 glow of the campfires was like a scene
in an iron smelting district. The city
is likely to fade away in a day by the
