GRAVE DISSENSIONS EXIST IN BOER ARMY Rupture Between Transvaal? er? and Free Staters. DEMY MAKES NO STAND British Advance Continues Without tfsatstoaac?Boers Are Concentrating at Krooostadt-Jieneral Kreuch Ar rives at Sanaa Idee I. London, May 10.?Although the' Brit? ish expected considerable opposition at the difficult drift of the Zaand river, the latest advices from Sniaaldeel, Orange Free State, indicate that the federals not yet, ready to make a determined to stop Lord Roberts' advance. The latter V front is so wide and over? whelming in numbers that it is difficult lo gee how the Boers can help being ousted out of Virginia siding as they were out of Sniaaldeel, 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 Rtller will also be ready. The general idea is that Lord Roberts will direct his right on Harrismith in order to get in touch with the Natal army coming through VanReenans pass. A dispatch from Maseru says the Boers have deserted both Laufybrand and Flck*burg in a bad condition, owing No the reports that the British will prob? ably occupy Senikal, thus threatening their retreat to the Transvaal.

Lost DOW, May 11.?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 aro gradually pushiug 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 30 miles in length. Ours was nec ?ssarily longer. With the widely scattered force it will take *>me time e> learu tht*Vasuulties, but I am hopeful wo havo not suffered moon. The cavalry and horse artillery are pursuing the Pjoers by three differ ent roads." The crossing of the Zaand river by the British appears to have been effected sonuer than even the most sanguine ex pected ami this morning Lord Roberts' temporary headquarters is established in a cable cart ou the north hank of the river Though the opposition the fed ereJo are offering shows that yesterday's report of the abandonment of iheir posi? tion was ill founded, Lord Roberts' ad? vance force, consulting of from 10.000 to 11,000 mounted men, besides infantry, artillery and the naval contingent, ap? pear* to be sufficiently powerful to over? whelm any opposition the burghers can offer.

Women Ready to Fight. Phhtokia, May 11.?President Krnger has received a telegram from a burgher ess asking if the time has not axriveu for tho formation of a corps of women, add iug that she is prepared, with a body of women volunteers, to take up arms in defense of the independence of the Transvaal. _ Humor Is Unconfirmed.

Artillery Brought to Play?Gallant Charge of l^aucashlrc and Sussex Regiments?Boors' Line Bolts. London, May 12.?So quickly !ias Lord Roberta advanced that his cavalry is only 22 miles from Krooustadt, whilo the main army is only 11 miles behi nd them Ho reports tho British uro 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 Milner, 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 Piquet burg. Lord Roberts wires that he is at Veu tersburg, thi.t he is continuously op? posed, but that he is making progress. Boers Make Strong Keslstauce. Reitzsprut, 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 Hut ton on the west. Chiefly urtillery was engaged. The Sussex regiment charged a kopje at the point of the bayouet and the East Lancashire charged' another. Tho Brit? ish loss is insignificant. General Huttou had a series of artil? lery details. Twenty Boors were taken prisoners. The advance continues. The enemy is fighting half-heartedly. The Free Staters are sick of the war. The rear guard of the Bints, with their guns, resisted the advauco. The mount? ed infantry, two latteries nnd pompons, cleared the way and the Third cavalry brigade acted as a screen before the main column. Geltend French was on the left and Ian Hamilton on the right. The East Lancashire uud Sussex regi? ments worked well to the front. The order was given and like a flash tho two regiments .sprung forward simultane? ously aud in a few moments had secured two commanding ridges. The advanced line was within 1,200 Iards of the Boers' main trench and the itter wore already losing heart from tho 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 gr?p is the war office from Reitzspruit as follow*: "We have had a successful day and have driven the enemy from i>ost to point. French, with Porter's and Dick eon's brigude of cavalry and Huttou'd mounted infantry, crossed the Zunnd at Vernieten's kruud and then worked round in a northeasterly direction to Mnatschappy, Is?ng opposed continu? ously by the enemy.

WEDNEi BRYAN THEIR CHOICE FOR THE PRESIDENCY, Sioux Falls Convention Unan? imous For Him. NOMINATION IS ASSURED Delegates From All States Arc a Unit For Ncbraskao?Chairman Patterson i Kuloglzes Silver Champion ? Brief Sketch of Populist Party. Sioux Falls, S. D., May 11. ? The attendance of visitors at the beginning of the session of the Populist convention was limited. I There was on air of expectancy from tho beginning, the feeling being general that this would be the big day. Not only were tho reports of committees ex? pected, bnt Mr. Bryan was to be placed in nomination and tho question of the vice presidency was to be taken up. There was au evident desire on the part of all present to catch everything from the beginning and to remain, so as to 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 voto 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 M. Patterson of Colorado for permanent chairman. Mr. Patterson was greeted with applause. In accepting the position of perma? nent chairman Mr. Patterson com? menced by stating that Le would so far as was in his power rule the convention with justice to all. He then briefly 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 lost 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 tho cardinal prin? ciples of tho Populist platform of nearly four years ago. ?'What is tho 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 extonsive eulogy of Mr. Bryan as a man, a statesman and a soldier during the war. _ HOWARD HAS WITHDRAWN. Ills Nomination Almost Precipitated Holt Among Barker Men. Cincixnatti, May 11.?When the roll was called for nominations in the mid? dle-of-the-road Populist convention Pro? fessor Boywe 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 he placed at tho head of tho 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 nominated for president on the second ballot. Planning an Aggressive Campaign. Bikminoham, Ala.i May 11.?Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the state Demo? cratic executive commit tee, has issued a call for a meeting of the committee in Birmingham Friday, May IM, to map mit plans for the coming state campaign and naming a committee to conduct the cam? paign, An aggressive campaign to be? gin probably about the middle of June will l?c arranged for.

PEOPLE MUST FACE ISSUE Question Can Now Be Settled With? out Bloodshed?Delay Is Dangerous. Legislation of No Avail?Parting of Ways Has Been Beached. Montgomory, 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 lifo and shows a deep study of the problem. The distinguished Georgian was never in better voice and was given the closest attention throughout. Mr. Graves 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 tho 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 tho bitter feeling al? ready existing between the two races. Proceeding Mr. Graves presents meth? 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 ohisement of the negro would not be a permanent solution. Must Separate the Races. 1 Tho only permanent solution, he says, is the separation of tho 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. I "For no statute will permanently I 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 CompHoates 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 preju lice 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 conflict when the passions nud prejudice* oi fa. - tion may be moved to nur isiu alien ment with the deep and lu;\...ig gers of the rase question. uWe have come in God*s providence to the parting of the ways. "In the uame of history and o* hu? manity; in the Interest of i>?,u ami in the tear of God, 1 call for a dm siou. "We can make it pcac ably u >w, W< may ba forced to nceomplish H i-? b <>.?.! hereafter. "The time is propitiou* ;::?.<! th? c >au try is ripe for separation." In conclusion, the speaker Miys: "Away with experiment! 1.? i ns hnv?' done with temperisiug. Aw.iy wuii timidity and hesitation] LottwintM i:v great question like men!

LOUL Police Unable to Handle Mol and Service Suspended. FRANCHISES ABE REVOKE! 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 bo 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? ualties. They claim the company has plenty of men who are willing to take out cars, but the company does not feel it would be right to risk their lives while the present condition of lawless? ness continues. Chief of Police Campbell declares that 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. Louisiana 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? hicles. The steam railroads entering the city from the north and west helped out by putting on additional trains aud 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 run 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 here. He will inpersede Samuel Lee in the handling of the strike. Among the 26 persons arrested for stopping cars, assaulting street car cm ployes or interfering 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 to run their cms and could give the same service as before the strike oc? curred. Painters Strike In A?heville. AsHEVILLE, N. C, May 10.?Acting under orders from the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators of America the members of local union, No. 132, de? manded $2 per day instead of $1.50. Sev eral col tractors have complied with the demand while others refused to do so and a few of the painters went out. The union here includes about r>8 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. WlUncSBsJtRX, Pa., May 10.?During a riot between strikers and workmen at the Button Wood mine of the Parrish Coal company today about 20 men were badly injured, including Superintendent W. T. Smythc. The strikers dispersed the workmen. The sheriff has been called on. Operators Locked Out. Greensboro, N. C, May io. ?

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 11.?This is the third day of the street railway strike and traffic over the various lines of the St. Louis Transit company's system was at a standstill. The mail cars, however, are running over all the lines without interf rence. Most of the cars on the Suburban system are running with po? lice 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 trank Liebrecht, an inno? cent bystander, was shot and killed at Taylor avenue crossing of the Suburban tracks. I jess than the usual number of cars are run under police protection by the Su burtan system. Policemen were sta? tioned on each ? r, 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 out, but a com? pany is being kept at tho armory con? stantly to protect the state's property from possible violence. Down town retail stores arc 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 of 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 at a season when they usually are busy. Meanwhile the depression will extend to a variety of local industries, which are dependent OH the retail houses for support. Governor Stephens has arrived in St. Louis. The governor stated he had come to St. Louis to personally look over the strike situation and confer with the }H)liec board as to the best means of Suppressing outbreaks. He had BO defi? nite plans for controlling these out? breaks, however. Governor Stephens fears that if the Transit 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 linos. STRIKE IS DECLARED OFF. Juliet Contractors Claim Victory of Building Trades Council. Joijkt, Ills., May 11.?The building trades strike in Joliet, inaugurated April 1, has been officially ended.
