GRAVE DISSENSIONS EXIST IN BOER ARMY Rupture Between Transvaal? ers and Free Staters. ENEMY MAKES NO STAND British Advance Continues Without Resistance-Boers Are Concentrating at Kreonstadt-General French Ar? rives at Smaaldeel. LONDON, May IO.-Al thong* the Brit? ish expected considerable opposition at the difficult drift of the Zaand river, the latest advices from Smaaldeel, Orange Free State, indicate that the federals are not yet ready to make a determined attempt to stop Lord Roberts' advance. The latter's front is so wide and over? whelming in numbers that it is difficult to see how the Boers can help being ousted out of Virginia siding as they were out of Smaaldeel, even if they neg? lected to give battle. The same conditions will probably affect the situation at Kroonstadt, hence the belief that little opposition will be encountered south of the Vaal. The repairs to the bridges over the Vet river are expected to retard the gen? eral march from Smaaldeel and Four? teen Streams for three or four days, when General Buller will also be ready. The general idea is that Lord Roberts win direct his right on Harrismith in order to get in touch with the Natal army coming through VauReenans pass. A dispatch from Maseru says the Boers have deserted both Ladybrand and Ficksburg in a bad condition, owing to the reports that the British will prob? ably occupy Senikal, thus threatening their retreat to the Transvaal. Dissention In the Boer Army. SMAALDEEL, , May 10.-It is reported that the federals are quitting Zaand river and it is variously stated that they are retreating toward the Vaal and tak? ing up a position at Boshoff rand and Kroonstadt. The British afiTrm that there is a bitter quarrel between the Free Staters and the Transvaalers, which is likely to end in the speedy surrender of the latter. General French has ar? rived here. Will Appeal to United jStates* THE HAGUE, May 10.-The Nether? lands peace society is discussing an ap? peal to President McKinley to investi? gate the causes of the war in South Af? rica and to stop the war. WOMEN BEADY TO FIGHT They Appeal to President Kruger For Permission to Enter the Ranks and Protect Their Homes Against Inva? sion by British. LONDON, May H.-Lord Roberts re? ports to the war office as follows: "We are now across the Zaand river. The enemy still holds a strong position, but we are gradually pushing them back." A war office dispatch announced that the Boers are in full retreat from the Zaand river. Lord Roberts reports as follows: "They occupied position 20 miles in length. Ours was necessarily longer. With the widely scattered force it will take some time to learn thi&asualties, but I am hopeful we have not suffered much. The cavalry and horse artillery are pursuing the Boers by three, differ? ent roads." The crossing of the Zaand river by the British appears to have been effected sooner than even the most sanguine ex? pected and this morning Lord Roberts' temporary headquarters is established in a cable cart on the north bank of the river. Though the opposition the fed? erals are offering shows that yesterday's report of the abandonment of their posi? tion was ill founded, Lord Roberts' ad? vance force, consisting of from 10.000 to 12,000 mounted men, besides infantry, artillery and the naval contingent, ap? pears to be sufficiently powerful to over? whelm any opposition the burghers can offer. Even though as reported yester? day they have been reinforced by 3,000 men from other commands and possess a score of heavy guns, the experts be? lieve the opposition will not be pro? longed longer than is necessarry to re? move the guns and other impediments in the direction of Kroonstadt. Further reports from Lorenzo Mar? quez show that the customs authorities there, in addition to clothing and shoes, refuse to clear corned beef for the Trans? vaal, holding it is contraband. Lord Roberts telegraphs to the war office from Welgeleleu that Pole-Carew and the divisions of Hamilton's column of heavy naval and royal garrison and Tucker's column are still advancing. The enemy is on the opposite bank of the Zaandjiyer. Their position will be ascertained tomorrow, when h.? Hopes te be able to force a passage of the river. Women Ready to Fight. PRETORIA, May il.-President Kruger has received a telegram from a burgher ess asking if the time has not aniveu for the formation of a corps of women, add? ing that she is prepared, with a body of women volunteers, to take up arms in defense of the independence of the Transvaal. Rumor ls Unconfirmed. LONDON, May II.-The colonial office bas no information confirming the ru? mor current in Accra that Kumassie has fallen. Heavy Engagement Near Zaazul River. Artillery Brought to Play-Gallant Charge of Lancashire and Sussex Regiments-Boers' Line Bolts. LONDON, May 12.-So quickly has Lord Roberts advanced that his cavalry is only 22 miles from Kroonsiadt, while the main anny is only ll miles behind them. He reports the British are in striking distance of the Orange Free State headquarters. Opinions differ widely as to whether any determined stand will be made there by the Boers. The presence of 10,000 Boers in the neighborhood of Thaba N'Chu is confirmed. They are holding a line 20 miles north to southeast of Thaba N'Chu. A Boer patrol was sighted Thursday at Thaba Patchoa. A detach? ment of Brabant's horse pursued the burghers, who retired after some fight? ing. Brabant then took up a position on a hill they are now holding. The Boer headquarters are at Eden. More fighting is expected. The "South African Review states that a member of the legislature of Cape Colony offered money to a man to shoot Sir Alfred Mihi or, the British high com? missioner. Affidavits on the subject are said to be in the hands of the attorney general. The Review demands the ar? rest of the legislator who is described as a prominent bondsman from Piquetburg. Lord Roberts wires that he is at Ven tersburg, that he is continuously op? posed, but that he is making progress. Boers Make Strong Resistance. REITZSPRTJIT, May 12.-The Boers op? posed the British advance, holding po? sitions north of Zaand drift back along the whole line from General Hamilton on the east and General Hutton on the west. Chiefly artillery was engaged. The Sussex regiment charged a kopje at the point of the bayonet and the East Lancashire charged another. The Brit? ish loss is insignificant. General Hutton had a series of artil? lery details. Twenty Boers were taken prisoners. The advance continues. The enemy is fighting half-heartedly. The Free Staters are sick of the war. The rearguard of the Boers, with their guns, resisted the advance. The mount? ed infantry, two batteries and pompons, cleared the way and the Third cavalry brigade acted as a screen before the main column. General French was on the left and Ian Hamilton on the right. The East Lancashire and Sussex regi? ments worked well to the front. The order was given and like a flash the two regiments sprang forward simultane? ously and in a few moments had secured two commanding ridges. The advanced line was within 1,200 yards of the Boers' main trench and the latter were already losing heart from the demonstration on their flank, but they kept up a rapid though wild fire. At this moment the final charge was ordered and away went the Lancashire and the Sussex regiments again, but the Boers could not stand it, and they fairly bolted along the whole line. It is impossible to ascertain the Boer losses, but they are thought to be heavy. Those of the British, considering the im oortant advance made, are considered light. _ Lord Roberts' Report. LONDON, May 12.-Lord Roberts tele? graphs the war office from Reitzspruit as follows: "We have had a successful day and have driven the enemy from post to point. French, with Porter's and Dick? son's brigade of cavalry and Hutton's mounted infantry, crossed the Zaand at Vernieten's krand and thou worked round in a northeasterly direction to Maatschappy, being opposed continu? ously by the enemy. Pole-Carew's di? vision and Gordon's cavalry brigade, augmented by "J" battery of the Royal Kurse artillery and by Henry's and Ross' mounted infantry, crossed the river by a drift near the railway bridge. "With the infantry portion we are S miles north of the river. The cavalry and mounted infantry are at Venters burg road station, and Tucker's division is at Deelfonteiu nord. Ian Hamilton's force and Broadwocd's cavalry brigade were making for the cross roads near Ventersburg when I last heard from them. "Hamilton's column met with stub? born resistance, and Smith-Doorien's brigade was engaged for some hours in protecting the rear flank of his force. "The only casualties reported at pres? ent are 4 killed and 5 wounded; no re returns yet received from the cavalry near Hamilton's force. " Boers Concentrate at Kora u na berg. MASERU, May 12.-The Free Staters are concentrating strongly in good posi? tion on the Koraunaberg hills, lying eastward of the direct line from Thaba N'Chu to Win burg. President Steyn was with them yesterday, but is believed to have gone northward after inspiring the burghers with predictions of ap? proaching Boor successes through the i assistance of thousands of foreigners who, he said, wore pouring into Dela? goa Bay. Genend Rundle's division camped List night on the banks of the Little Leuw river between Thaba N'Chu and Ladvbrand. There are a great many caves and prehistoric mounds in Iowa. I BRYAN THEIR CHOICE FOR THE PRESIDENCY Sioux Palls Convention Unan? imous For Him. NOMINATION IS ASSURED Delegates From All States Are a Unit For Nebraskan-Chairman Patterson Eulogizes Silver Champion - Brief Sketch of Populist Party. Sioux FALLS, S. D., May ll. - The j attendance of visitors at the beginning ' of the session of the Populist convention was limited. ? There was an air of expectancy from the beginning, the feeling being general that this would be the big day. Not only were the reports of committees ex? pected, but Mr. Bryan was to be placed in nomination and the question of the ! vice presidency was to be taken up. ; There was an evident desire on the part of all present to catch everything from the beginning and to remain, so as to j be in at the finish. The committee on credentials pre? sented its report, declaring that there were no contesting delegations and ; recommending that Missouri's vote be ; increased by two, that of Ohio two votes and that of South Dakota three votes. The report was adopted without a dis? senting vote. The committee on permanent organ? ization presented the name of Thomas I M. Patterson of Colorado for permanent j chairman. Mr. Patterson was greeted j with applause. In accepting the position of penna- j nent chairman Mr. Patterson com menced by stating that Le would so far j as was in his power rule the convention j with justice to all. He then briefly j sketched the history of the Populist party and the cause which led up to its organization. The speaker gave a short history of the financial legislation of congress dur- ! ing the last administration of President Cleveland and that of President Mc? Kinley. He then gave a history of the early successes of the People's party, and went on: "To check the progress of the People's party throughout the south the Demo? crats of that section incorporated into their own creed all the cardinal prin? ciples of the Populist platform of nearly four years ago. "What is the outlook," asked the speaker, "for the coming presidential election? I cannot doubt the outcome. We will go before the country as we did before, with what the people professed | and under the leadership of William J. Bryan." [Cheers.] Mr. Patterson then entered upon an extensive eulogy of Mr. Bryan usaman, a statesman and a soldier during the war. I HOWARD HAS WITHDRAWN. i _ His Nomination Almost Precipitated ; Bolt Among Barker Men. CIXCINXATTI, May ll.-When the roll ? was called for nominations in the mid? dle-of-the-road Populist convention Pro? fessor Boyse of Nebraska presented the name of former Congressman H. W. Howard of Alabama. In nominating Mr. Howard, Professor Boyse stated that he was Bryan's superior in oratory and Debs' in magnetism and was, therefore, the logical candidate of the party for president. General Philips of Georgia nominated Wharton Baker of Pennsylvania, while W. S. Williams presented the name of Ignatius Donnelly. As the speech mak? ing proceeded it was currently reported about the hall that the Barker delega? tion had threatened to bolt if Howard should be placed at the head of the ticket. To check such action Mr. How? ard, in secret conference with his friends, decided not to accept the nomination, which was apparently his to a certainty. Wharton Barker of Pennsylvania was I nominated for president on the second I ballot. _ Planning an Aggressive Campaign. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May ll.-Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the state Demo? cratic executive committee, has issued a caU for a meeting of the committee in Birmingham Friday, May 18, to map out plans for the coining state campaign and naming a committee to conduct the cam? paign. An aggressive campaign to be? gin probably about the middle of June will be arranged for. Delegates Instructed For McKinley. DES MOINES, May ll.-At the Iowa Republican convent* >n delegates-at-large to the national convention were elected.

Pitts was a widower of five weeks. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES ON RAGE PRORLEM Separation, He Says, Is Only Permanent Solution. PEOPLE MUST FACE ISSUE Question Can Now Be Settled With? out Bloodshed-Delay Is Dangerous. Legislation of No Avail-Parting of Ways Has Been Reached. MOXTGOMORY, Ala., May 10.-The fea? ture of today's session of the race con? ference was the speech of the Hon. John Temple Graves of Georgia. Mr. Graves' speech was one of the ablest efforts of his life and shows a deep study of the problem. The distinguished Georgian was never in better voice and was given the closest attention throughout. Mr. Giaves paid tribute to the efforts of Council, Booker Washington, Bishop Turner and other leading negroes, but his speech shows that he is uncompro? misingly in favor of a separation of the races. He contends that there is no room in the industrial field for the negro, and that education only awakens ambitions which can never be realized, unless there is a separation. To make his argument more pointed Mr. Graves refers to the time when the Lord led the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, thus re? leasing them from bondage. The speaker dwelt at length upon the race problem as it presents itself to the thinking man, touching upon the ne? gro's industrial, political, social and civil standing in the United States. He stated that the industrial education of the negro only tended to bring him m closer competition with the white man, thus augmenting the bitter feeling al? ready existing between the two races. Proceeding Mr. Graves presents meth- i ods for the solution of the problem, and advocates the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. He regards the enfran? chisement of the negro as the American mistake of the century, but the disfran? chisement of the negro would not be a permanent solution. Must Separate the Races. The only permanent solution, he says, is the separation of the races. Proceed? ing, he says: "On this great question I stand now where I have always stood-where Web? ster stood and Henry Clay; where Thomas Jefferson stood, and Abraham Lincoln, and Henry Grady, and Council and Turner and the rest-where in time all men will stand who see the light and dare to face it. "Separation is the logical, the inev? itable, the only way. No other proposed solution will stand the test of logic and experiment. "For no statute will permanently solve this problem. No anodyne of law, no counter-irritant of legislation will quiet it longer than the hour of its ap? plication. The evil is in the blood of races, the disease is in the bones and the marrow and the skin of antagonistic peoples. "Religion does not solve the problem, for the Christ spirit will not be all per? vasive until the millenial dawn. "Education comnlicates the problem. Every year of enlightenment increases the negro's apprehension of his position, of his merits and attainment, and of the inconsistency between his real and con? stitutional status in the republic. Edu? cation brings perception, and ambition follows, with aggressive assertion against the iron walls of a prejudice that has never yielded and will never yield. The conflict is irrepressible and inevitable. . Time Complicates Problem. "Time complicates the problem by giving increasing numbers and addi? tional provocation to the negro, and in? creasing danger to the struggle which logic and destiny render certain. "Politics complicates the problem by bringing times of fierce civic tvuilic; when the passions and prejndicesoi in - rion may be moved to pai\i>;u ali TM ment with the deep and lur....ig caa gers of rbi* rase question. "We have come in G<?d*s providence to the parting ot' the ways. "In the name of history end o: hu? manity: in the interese of ?!?;:i and in rhe fear of Ged, I call ; >:? :? div sion. "We can make ir i-.c -ably TI >W. VV. may b3 forced to accomplish :.: ?J b ood hereafter. "The time is propitious a:id th; c:>au- I try is ripe for separation." In conclusion, riie speaker says: "Away with experiment! L? ? us haw done with teuiperiziug. Aw. ?y v. ;,u timidity and hesitation! Lat us i ac? thy great question like men!

FRANCHISES ARE REVOKED House of Delegates Declares Grant Void Because of Failure of Transit Company to Operate Its Lines-Busi? ness Partially Suspended. ST. LOUIS, May 10.-Every street rail? way in St. Louis and in St. Louis county is tied up and not a car is moving. No attempt will be made to run cars unless ample police protection is afforded. The protection given yesterday by the police, the street railway officials say, was en? tirely inadequate, as is shown by the many damaged cars and numerous cas I ualties. They claim the company has plenty of men who are willing to take j out cars, but the company does not feel it would be right to risk their lives while the present condition of lawless ( ness continues. j Chief of Police Campbell declares that j the force under him is too small to han? dle the situation properly, but if the companies would select one main line to operate he would see that the cars were run without molestation. Thousands of St. Louisians suffered the inconvenience of not having trans? portation through the city. A good many walked to work, while others rode wheels or pressed into service vehicles of every description. Owners of wagons earned many an honest dollar by trans? porting residents in the outlying dis? tricts. Down town and on every street dur? ing the early hours there was to be seen a constant procession of nondescript ve? nidas. The steam railroads entering the city from the north and west helped out by putting on additional trains and making numerous stops. Almost every line of business down town is suffering as a result of the strike, which is keeping would-be customers at home. Places of amusement were almost de? serted last night, and there is slim pros? pects for business today. The house of delegates has adopted a resolution declaring the franchises of the St. Louis Transit company revoked in every instance where the company fails to ran its cars in strict compliance with the provisions of the ordinances under which its franchises were granted. W. D. Mahon of Detroit, who is pres? ident of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes, has ar? rived hore. He will supersede Samuel Lee in the handling of the strike. Among the 26 persons arrested for stopping cars, assaulting street car em? ployes or interfeiing with their work were a number of boys. President Turner and Superintendent Jenkins of the suburban line have ap? plied to Chief of Police Campbell for protection of their men and property. They state that they have plenty of men tb run their cm's and could give the same service as before "the strike oc? curred. Painters Strike In Asheville. ASHEVILLE, N. C., May 10.-Acting under orders from the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators of America the members of local union, No. 13*2, de? manded $2 per day instead of ?1.50. Sev? eral contractors have complied with the demand while others refused to do so and a few of the painters went out. The union here includes about 53 members. At the beginning of the year they de? manded a 9-hour day, which was com? plied with by the contractors. Striking Miners Riot. WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 10.-During a riot between strikers and workmen at the Buttonwood mine of the Parrish Coal company today about 20 men were badlv injured, including Superintendent W. T. Smythe. The strikers dispersed the workmen. The sheriff has boon called on. Operators Locked Oat. GREENSBORO, N. C., May 10. - The Proximity mill has locked out their 000 employes, in order to forestall a threat? ened strike. .lim Howard Surrenders. FRANKFORT, Ky.. May 10.-Jim How ard, the man accused of firing the shot i that killed William Goobel, came here from his home iu Clay county and sur? rendered to the authorities. Howard says he will have no trouble in proving his innocence. Palatka Enterprise Chartered. TALLAHASSEE, May 10.-Letters pat? ent have been granted for the incorpora? tion of the International Manufacturing company of Palatka, with a capital of $1,000,000, to conduct a general manu? facturing and trading business. Request Is Denied. PRETORIA, May ll.-The request of the government for permission to sell mining rights for prices which should be approved by the government was re? jected by the raad by a vote of 12 to 9. The session is closed. ST. LOUIS AT THE MERCY OF STRIKERS Trouble on Street Railways Has Paralyzed Business. MERCHANTS MAY CLOSE Keeping Their Stores Open Is Useless Expense - Suburban System Runs Few Cars Under Police Protection. Militia Called Out. ST. LOUIS, May ll.-This is the third day of the street railway strike and traffic over the varions lines of the St. Louis Transit company's system was at a standstill. The mail cars, however, are running over ali the lines without interference. Most of the cars on the Suburban system are running with po? nce protection. Officers were stationed on every car and along the right of way, to guard against interference. No dis? turbance has been reported since last night, when lYauk Liebrecht, an inno? cent bystander, was shot and killed at Taylor avenue crossing of the Suburban tracks. Less than the usual number of cars are run under police protection by the Su? burban system. Policemen were sta? tioned on each car, but the number of passengers was comparatively small. President Whitaker said unless protec? tion is afforded the Transit company on all its lines no attempt will be made to run cars. The First regiment, Missouri National guard, has been ordered ont, but a com? pany is being kept at the armory con? stantly to protect the state's property from possible violence. Down town retail stores are operating at enormous loss as a result of the strike. Their proprietors and managers are talk? ing of reducing their forces of employes and even of closing entirely until the Strike is settled, if existing conditions continue. Almost every store down town is practically deserted, save by employes. The situation has quieted down suffi? ciently for heads ol establishments to discuss among themselves what steps ! they may take to encourage an early settlement of the trouble, but so far no conclusion has been reached. ' The effect of the strike will also, it is stated, be felt in the east, for while the stagnation of business continues no orders are be? ing sent out for goods and the buyers employed by St. Louis establishments are finding themselves with nothing to do a* a season when they usually are busy. Mv:anwhile the depression will extend to a variety of local industries, which are dependent on the retail houses for support. Governor Stephens has arrived in St. Louis. The governor stated he had come to St. Louis to personally look I over tho strike situation and confer with the police board as to the hist means of suppressing outbreaks. He had no defi? nite plans for controlling these out? breaks, however. Governor Stephens fears that if the Tran, sit company attempted to operate its lines serious trouble might ensue. At noon, after a two hours-' confer? ence, it was decided to apply for war? rants 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. STRIKE IS DECLARED OFF. Juliet Contractors Claim Victory of Building Trades Council. JOUET, Dis., May ll.-Thc biulding trades strike in Jolies, inaugurated April 1, has been officially ended. The union carpenters, who were the last to hold out, have declared the strike off and are ready to return to work. The bricklay? ers, stone masons, painters, plumbers and tinners came to terms some time ago. The conclusion of the strike is de? clared a victory for the master con? tractors. The strike affected between o'OO and SOO men and tied ap all building operation.^: in Joliet for several weeks. Minors Walk Out. BUEXA VISTA, Va., May 1 .-The iron furnace at this place is banked, 100 employes walking out. They demand a 10 i^er cent increase in wages and the privilege of drawing script on any mer? chant in town. PROTEST AGAINST TAXES. Stron?Opposition Develops tc Spain's Financial Projects. MADRID, May 10.-The government is seriously concerned in regard to the op? position developed to its financial pro? jects. The feeling in Catalona, es? pecially, is running high and has taken the form of hostile demonstrations against the minister of the interior, who is now making a tour of Barcelona and its environments. A league against the government's taxation schemes has been formed inc Madrid with the title of "National Union," whose platform is arefual to pay taxation and, as a protest, the mem? bers of the union propose a general clos? ing of stores in Madrid. Whether this; measure will be universally adopted re maim! to be seen. Tomorrow, therefore, ii looked forward to with anxiety.
