In Various Parle the Clty-llltl la Being Prepared for Action. St. Louis, June 12. The day just ended has been one of the most .event ful and bloody since the great strike on the tjt. Louis Transit began more than a month ago. There were numerous encounters between strikers and other individuals and the constituted autbor ites, resulting in four deaths and tbe wounding of five or more persons, mostly strikers. The dead are: C. Edward Thomas, striking con ductor on the Cboteau avenue line; shot in breast by deputy sheriff; died on the way to hospital. George Rine, striking motorman on Delmar avenue line; shot in abdomen by deputy sheriff; died at city hospital. Fred Boehm, aged citizen, shot and instantly killed while standing in his front yard by deputy sheriff. Ed Bnrkhardt, striking conductor on Delmar avenue line; shot in head; may die. The day was quiet until this after noon, when the police were taken off a number of atreet car lines for the pur pose of giving them a rest and to test the ability of the Transit Company to operate without friction. Tbe most serious trouble broke out between 6 and 7 o-clock in front of the six-story building on Washington ave nue, between Broadway and Sixth streets, occupied by the sheriff's posse comitates aa a barracks and head quarters. Several hundred strikers bad gone to East St. Louis earlier in the day to attend picnic given for their benefit, and toward evening began returning home. The trouble was pre dated when 150 strikers in uniform and headed by a drum corps, came west on Washington avenue. In their caps, some of them had cards bearing these word: "Union or nothing; liberty or death." Just as they were passing the bar racks, a car of tbe Park avenue division was going west. A number of the men broke from the line and rushed for the car which was without the usual police guard. A brick was thrown through tbe car window and a shot was fired by somebody not known. At the first Intimation of trouble the sheriff's posse swarmed from the build ing and si.rrounded the crowd of strik ers, calling on them to disperse. Other shots were fired. Tben several depu ties turned loose theh repeating shot guus, loaded with buckshot. As far as can be learned only four men in tbe strikers' ranks were hit. Not a deputy was wounded. Under tbe command of Colonel Cav ender, the deputies arrested 20 of tbe strikers and took them into the barracks, where they were searched. Three re volvers and a number of pocket knives were secured, and the prisoners were taken to the Four courts, where they were locked up pending an investiga tion. The remainder of the strikers fled, followed by a squad of mounted police that had been summoned. They dispersed without further trouble. CHINA GETS WORSE.

General Fores tier Walker wires to the war office from Cape Town, under today's date as follows: "Information received, from natives early yesterday reports the en emy in three columns near Honing Spruit. Tbe railway has been .almost completely destroyed between America and Roodeval." OOM PAUL TALKS. Correspondent Found Him In a Car nt Mat-hadodorp. London, June 11. The exeutive offices of the Transvaal government are in a railway car, which is shunted on a switch at Machadodorp. President Kroger caused the interior of the coach to be reconstructed some time ago, with a view to contingencies that have now arrived. A correspondent of the Daily Express, who went from Lon- renco Marques to see President Kroger, was received yesterday. The presi dent sat smoking a long pipe. He looked worried, but his bearing itself was quiet and determined, lie did not make the least objection to being interviewed. The correspondent was equipped for the interview by cables from London. "Yes," said President Kruger, "it is quite true that the British have oc cupied Pretoria. This, however, does not end the war. The burghers are fully determined to fight to the last. They will never surrender so long as 500 armed men remain in tbe countrv. I feel encouraged by the fine work Steyn and Dewet are doing in the Free State." The correspondent suggested that the war was over, inasmuch as the capital had been taken. "The capital," exclaimed President Kruger, with energy, "what is a capi tal? It does not consist of any particu lar collection of bricks and mortar. The capital of tbe republic, the seat of the government, is here in this car. Tbeie is no magic about any special site. Our country is invaded, it is true, but it is not conquered. The government is still effective." Referring to the reason why he left Pretoria, President Kruger said: ''I was not foolish enough to be . taken prisoner. I provided this means of locomotion precisely for the same reason as our burghers supply them selves with horses when they take tbe field. It is necessary that I should be able to move quickly from place to place. That is all. Bye and bye this car will take me back to Pretoria. For the present, it enables me to keep away from Pretoria, where I could be of no sevrice and where I should only play into the hands of the enemy." RUSSIA WANTS MORE MONEY In Keed of More Cash to Complete the Traae-Cancaalan Line. New York, June 11. The advices from London that M. Rothstein, a well known financier of St. Petersburg, would soon arrive in this country, with a view to looking over the situation here as an agent of his government and determining whether or not a large" Russian loan could be floated in the United States, are said by leading for eign bankers in this city to be accurate. Whether or not M. Rothstein shall ultimately be successful in his mission, however, it is not believed by promi nent local financiers that he will be able to place a loan of any magnitude in the United States for the next few months, until the presidential campaign shall be ended. It may be remembered that in Feb ruary of this year, the Russian imper ial government negotiated a loan of $15,000,000 with a syndicate of New York banks, trust companies an insur ance companies. In exchange for their money tbe syndicate receive four per cent bonds, guaranteed principal and interest by the Russian govern ment and seonred by a first mortgage on the Wladikawkos railway system. The loan now sought is also for rail way construction, according to a Wall street man intetrested in tbe February operation, who said: "M. Rothstein, president of the Rus sian Imperial Bank of St. Petersburg, and one of the government's trusted agents is, I have been informed, com ing here to get money for the Russian trans-Caucasian railway. This is one of the longest roads in the world and is not completed by any means. Money is needed. M. Rothstein is coming from London here, and is going to Washington to see the Russian minis ter, through whom all negotiations are to be made." 1 The London report also said that a large Rosso-American bank might be established here as an outcome of M. Rothstein's visit, but this is regarded by high authorities here as exceedingly unlikely. I'lague In Brnail. New York, June 9.
