1'J.- Thotigli Sunday was eompnra
lively ipiiet ho far as the niilrond

were still on the alert today.
Tiaftie was still iieinly nt a
standstill in the Transvaal and the

tinued, it was agiced that it was
only a question of time before a
famine in foodstuffs would result.
Then? was threat, too, of a general
stiike of all industries at Johannes,

of the Trade lYdcmtinu adopted res
illations in favor of a combined
walkout.
lohauiiesliurg ami 1'retoriu were
considered the principal danger
points ami strong forces of militia
went held ready at both ixiiuts, al
though the soldiers were kept as
much as possible in the background
as a precaution against arousiui
needless nulngoiiisui.
The unlive situation continued
critical. The blacks at Jagersfon
tcin were somewhat subdued, follow
ing the stem repression of the outbreak-
which cost several of their
liu'H last week, hut at .Johannesburg
and elsewhere throughout the coun
try they were in an ugly frame of
mind, and it was clear that if the
