Louis, May rioting nnd another fatality marked the progress ot the strike on the St. Louis Transit company's system yesterday. Yesterday afternoon a Cass avenue car was stopped at the corner ol Twenty-third and Cass avenue in order that a barricade which had been placed across the track might be removed. During- the enforced halt a big: crowd of strike sympathizers attacked the car, firing a number of shots. One of the bullets struck Special Policeman Duncan K.

MeCrea, who was riding- on the front platform with motel-man, in the left arm, passv ing; throug-h his body and coming- out on the right side. The policeman sank unconscious to the floor. Other patrolmen, -who had been stationed at the comer to protect the cars, then charg-ed the crowd and beat them back. A riot call was sent in to the Ninth district station and a. dozen mounted policemen came at full gallop to the scene.

The combined forces soon restored order. McCrae was placed in an ambulance and a hasty trip was made to the dispensary. When the unfortunate policeman was taken out and laid on tlie operating table it was found that he was dead. McCrae was about 60 years ol age and wasjippointed to the force last Monday. He served as a private during the civil war on the confederate side.

He comes ol a prominent family in New Orleaiis and was formerly a resident of Kansas City. Eddie Manz, three years old, was shot through the leg- in the afternoon by a man on a Cass avenue car. The little boy was sitting on the front doorstep when some small boys, who had been throwing stones at a west- hound Cass avenue cfir, ran up the alley south o.t the house. A man who is supposed to be an emergency policeman, leaned out from the ear and fired a shot at the fleeing boys. The shot struck little Mann iu the right leg near the hip.

It is feared the wound will pi-ov-e fatal. Negotiations were not reopened yesterday with the representatives of the St. Louis Transit company by Harry Havves, president of the police board, as was expected. The grievance committee the union decided that the proposition which Mr. Hawes asked permission to submit to the company was practically the same as that -which had already been rejected.

It is said that there is no prospect of another conference. General Manager Baumhoff, of the Transit company, said that no new were opened yesterday bnt that ihe number of cars had been increased on those lines in operation. Cars probably will not be run at night un- iil the strike is ended. The company lad a great deal of trouble operating Cass avenue line during the day. passengers rode in the'cars.

"Washington, May wag a day of rasping political controversy oratory in the senate. With tlie controversy those on the democratic aide of the cliarober, anomalous as it may seem, had little to do. What by seeing senators is regarded as ikely to be the paramount Jssue of "lie approaching 1 national campaign vas the subject of two notable ipeeches, one by Senator Platt, of and the other by of Wisconsin. The former an answer to the speech de- irered a few days ago by Senator iacon, of Georgia, on his resolution an investigation of finan- Jal affairs in Cuba. Senator Pfatt avored the adoption of the resolu- ion, but deprecated what he de- was a cheap effort to malce po- itical capital out of a shameful con- lition of affairs the republican larty needed no prodding to induce to probe to the bottom.

The speech of Senator Spooner was continuation of his address of on the Philippines question. In ts course he became involved in a eated and sensational colloquy with lenator Hale, of Maine, over the gov- mmeiit's conduct of affairs in our insular possessions." It was a re- uarkable controversy between two of he best equipped debaters in. the enate and was listened to with pro- ouncl attenti on by sen ators, many epresentatives and crowded galleries, enator Spooner will con.tin.Tie Ms peech to-day.

Washington, May house esterday passed without division the xtradition bill framed by the juxli- iary committee, but only after a debate in which considerable political rancor was aroused. There was no division of sentiment as to the duty of congress to pass a bill to permit the extradition of Neely, i but the democrats objected to tne language of the bill which covered "any foreign country or territory, or part thereof, occupied by United States." The democrats the bill to apply specifically Cuba, contending that the broader 'language assumed the possibilities of further acquisitions by the United -States of a character similar to that of Cuba. A motion to recommit with instructions to change the langrmge was defeated by a strict party vote. The house also adopted the resolution to the committee on ways and -sit during the recess of congress for the purpose of framing a bill for the reduction of the war revenues and the resolution for a sine -die adjournment June 6. The demo- -crats insisted that congress should reduce the war taxes at the present, but Mr.

Payne, the majority leader, said the treasury figures showed, that the refunding of the bonds now going- on would practically wipe out the surplus for this fiscal year. He contended that it would be unsafe to reduce the taxes at this time. Mr. the minority leader, announced that he was in favor of the total repeal of the war tax on beer. The senate bill to provide a collector of customs at, Honolulu, salnry $0,000 a year, and deputies was passed.

Gen. Theo Schwan, in which he. submits, a thorough review of the state of affairs in the Philippines up to the time of his departure from Manila on 16 last, making particular reference to what he believes to be the irretrievable collapse of the Pili pin insurrection as a whole and expressing the conviction that, if left alone, the Filipinos would soon lemonstrate their absolute inability to g-ovevn themselves. "The principal islands," he says, "are now as before, held with an iron grip by the military. In Luzon all the interior, as well as all the coast towns of importance, are occupied by American troops." PRO-BOETlEETIHC.

A Large Audience Greets the Dutch Envoys at Washington. THE DELEGATES AND OTHERS SPEAK. Seimtoc WellKinton'rt I'utrlotlc Coounui Tounhos on ft row with Washington, May audience remarkable for its size, sympathy and enthusiasm greeted the Boer envoys at the reception given in tlieir honor last night at the Grand opera house tinder the auspices o.l: the congressional and citizens' committee. Long before the time for the meeting 1 to open the house was crowded to suffocation and many were turned away unable to gain admittance. The interior was appropriately decorated with the national tri-colors oi: both the United States and the Transvaal.

While oilicial Washington was not represented in any manner there were probably 30 members of the senate and hoiise occupying scuts in the auditorium and on the stage. One oi the boxes, it was stated, 'had been reserved for the president, a corumUtee having been sent to the white house with tickets ad i ssi on to the opera house, but no representative oi the president's oilicial was on hand. Chairman Sulzer was the first speaker. After welcoming the 'envoys and emphatical ly sta ting that th occasion was non-partisan nnd non-political in character, he said in part: "In my judgment, nine-tenths of the American people are aguhist England in this bloody war of conquest foi sordid gain and in sympathy with the Boers.

The audience guve a star ding greeting to Commissioner Fischer, told his hearers whj the come to this country and 1J to accomplish Eis vury much in keeping with what he already has said ic published interviews. Commissions Wesscls' speech was a vivid picture oJ the Boers in their contest for then rights, of the charity and devotion which clmractci'ized their manner and of the patriotism with which they all went in tp fight their battles.

Mr Wolmarans, who spoke'in Dutch, said to the audience that while the envoys did expect to be sympathetically received In this country, yet they did not anticipate that they would receive such a strong welcome as had been sh own to th em in New city and the capital of the nation, The speech of Senator Wellington, which came next, bristled, "with patriotic utterances, and was cheered to the echo by the audience. The senator said that as Americans we nlvvayi had held that all men were entitled alike to life, liberty and happiness. Ii this were true in America lie asked. why not in South Africa? Some in the audience asked: "Why not Philippines also?" To which the senator added his He wished God speed to the envoys in then mission and success to their cause. Mr.

Bourke Coclcran, of New York spoke for over half an hour. His address vi'as a scholarly eftort, touching upon the Monroe doctrine, the character of the Boei's and a review oJ features of alYairs.

A Plot to President Kmcer mid to Surrender the Trnnnvaitl The Irish. American SufTttrH Menvlly BrttlNU CnLtle. London, May in the most conspicuous style in the Daily Express is the dominant war news of the morning: "We have the best reason for stating that in the last 24 hours a telegram has been received at the foreign office, addressed personally to the prime minister, from President Krug-er, proposing terms oJ peace.

The exact terms of the message cannot be stated, but we believe it is couched in an exceedingly humble strain." It is inconceivable, of course, that Lord Salisbury can have sent any reply except the one that stands ready on the lip of every unconditional surrender. Special prayers of thanksgiving were oil'ered yesterday in the churches of the United Kingdom. The lord bishop of London, Dr. Mandell Creig-h- ton, who preached before the queen at Windsor, alluded to the of ila- feking and clergymen generally found in the event their topic of the day. Details of the relief are still wanting, the British military authorities being without dispatches.

Lord Roberts wires that he knows of the relief only through a press agency. Lord Lausdowiie, however, announces that the war office expects direct news to-day. The situation in the field has changed hut little since Friday. Lord Koberls' troops are in fine form and abundantly supplied. Indications seem to point to an early movement, his cavalry riding over several hundred square miles in a.

semi-circle beyond Kroonstnd has received the submission of hundreds of Free Staters. It now appears that the DeWet, who offered to surrender with 1,000 men, was not the well-known Gen. De- Wet, but Commandant DeWct. He stipulated that his men should be allowed to return to their farms. Lord Tt.oberl,s replied that the surrender must be unconditional.

Reports flow into Lord Roberts at headquarters of the discouragement of the l.loers and of their willingness, even in the case of the Transvaalers. to give up. President Steyn is described as having lost his head several times recently. The Daily Telegraph is advised that a plot has been discovered at Pretoria to depose. President Kruger and to surrender the Transvaal during the present month.

Progressive Diftch- mcn and members of the judiciary are asserted to have been parties to the movement. A Cape Town correspondent reasserts that, the Irish-American ambulance corps from Chicago sntl'ered heavily during the fighting at Kroon- stad, and that the United States Consul Hay has protested vnjnly to President Kruger against using the corps on the fighting line. Gen. Buller is in front of Langs Nek, hesitating to attack of enormous natural strength. The reports that the Boers have blown up portions of the tunnel are confirmed.
