Joubert—Free Staters Highly Praised. WOUNDED MEMBERS PRESENT PRETORIA, Monday, May 7.—The official closing of the 1899 volksraad, which broke up unofficially in September last, took place today. The vacant seats of Gen. Joubert and Gen. De Cock, and others were filled with flowers. The hall was crowded, a large number of ladies being preseut. In the prayer of the chaplain an allusion to Gen. Joubert moved many to tears. After the prayer the raad adjourned to the afternoon, when the session of 1900 was in- augurated. The ceremonies were accom- panied by the customary salute. President Kruger arrived in the state carriage with the usual escort. All the diplomatists and foreign attaches, including Gen. Gourko, the Russian attache, were present. The raadzaal was crowded to its fullest capacity, and the scene was most impres- sive. President Kruger, in his speech cpen- ing the sion, alluded feelingly to the Referring to Gen. Joubert, he “Future generations will be able to judge the work of the deceased, whose demeanor inspired the enemy with respect, and whose humane and brave conduct gave fame and importarce to the state among civilized nations.” Praises the Free Statern. He was profoundly struck, he said, by the proof of sincere friendship given by the people of the Free State, who had fulfilled their obligations te the Transvaal under the treaty. They realized that a united front was required, as an attack upon the independence of the Transvaal meant a threat against the Free State. He had implicit confidence in the future of the Afrikander nation. By deeds the Free State had shown, the president declared, a good example to the people of the Transvaal, which had proved of great moral value to those guiding the efforts of a small state to maintain Its in- dependence. He was pleased to say that the relations of the Transvaal with foreign states, with the exception of Great Britain, Were good. After referring to the peace proposals of the presidents of both republics to Lord Salisbury, President Kruger sat “We have proved by legislation and our dealings with Great Britain last year that it was our desire to preserve peace, and now that war has broken out, we will do everything to restore peace.” Pleased at World’s Sympathy. After alluding to the deputation now on a mission to Europe and the United States and the presence of so many attaches, prov- ing the intense interest of the powers in the republics and their methods of fight- ing, he said he was pleased to see that the sympathy of the world was on their side in the wa: hat ambulances had been sent and that their friends were united in en- deavoring to alleviate the distress caused by the struggle. After references to alleged violations of the Red Cross convention and to the conse quent protests of foreign powers, Presi- dent Kruger continued: “Notwithstanding the difficult cireum- stances I am glad to say that our finances will enable us to bear the great expense of the war, and that the mines are flour- ishing. ‘The president concluded with a reference to the Free State loan, and suggested that the session be not prolonged, and that only matters of importance be dealt with. In a joving peroration he invoked the bless- ing and help of the Almighty. The proceedings terminated with un- usually impressive speeches and prayers. Fifty out of a total of sixty legisiators were present, several of them still suffer- ing from wounds, So PARIS COMMISSION EXPE: 5 ES. Report Sent to the Senate Giving the Itemn.

Held for Grand Jury. John Sherman was today held in $500 bends for the action of the grand jury by Judge Kimball, in the Police Court, to arswer the charge of stealing a watch valued at $20 from John T. Kernan. during the month of September, 1898. According to the evidence Sherman took the watch from Mr. Kernan's pocket while the latter was asleep in a house on Ken- tucky avenue. Im tely afterward Sherman left the city and did not return until a day or two since, when he was taken into custody, A RIOT i STRIKERS IN. Non-Union Men Driven ; St, Louig, Off Cars in j ul Several of the Men and One Woman Passenger Hurt. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM 8 HOW TIED UP 5 BOY SHOT BY CONDUCTOR ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 8.—Practically all the street cars in St. Louis are at a stand- still today. In pursuance of action taken at a mass meeting at 1:30 a.m., 3,325 em- ployes of the St. Louis Transit Company went on a strike this morning to compel the acceptance of their demands formulated several days ago. The suburban line, the only one in the city not a part of the ex- tensive St. Louis’ Transit Company's sys- tem, ran cars for several hours, but later was compelled to shut down, as their men were pulled off the cars by strikers at De Hodiamont and in the downtown section of the elty. Employed on their cars and in the sheds the St. Louis Transit Company had 3,600 men, most of whoni belonged to the Amal- gamated Association of Street Car Em- ployes. All but 275 of these, it is estimated, are out. With the help of some of the lat- ter a number of cars were run out on the Park avenue division of the Lindell line, which runs past the Union station. This led to frequent riots at different points on the line, where strikers attempted and in some cases succeeded in stopping the cars. Mob Attacks the Cars, One car on each of the lines converging on Washington avenue was run out. Four cars got out down town as far as 6th street, but only one went around the loop. All were attacked by a mob of men and boys on Washington, at 4th and 5th streets, who threw sticks and stones. Several win- dows were broken and the motormen and conductors were injured by flying missiles. A riot call was turned in at 8 o'clock from the corner of Broadway and Washington, and a wagon load of police turned out to Keep order, but their efforts were in vain. At this point a motorman was hit over the head with a club, a piece of brick bat Struck him in the mouth, lacerating his lip, and his nose was mashed by a stone. Thé motorman left his car and ran into a sa- loon for protection. Almost at the same time a well-dressed young woman, who was riding in the car, was struck on the head by a sharp stone that crashed through the window and badly wounded her. Finally, the motorman returned, and amid a shower of stones and mud succeeded in getting his car away from the crowd. Boy Seriously Wounded. John Kohring, a sixteen-year-old boy, who was in a crowd on Park avenue, was shot and seriously wounded by Conductor George McClellan, in charge of a car on the Park avenue division. The boy was removed to the City Hospital and Con- ductor McClellan was arrested. The ‘mportant features of the strikers’ demands are as follows: That all conductors, motormen, gripmen and all men employed in the sheds shall be compelled to be members of the union; that the officers of the union, with the offi- cers of the company, shall have full power to adjust all differences that may arise, and that in the event of their falling to agree shall, if mutually agreed to, place the case before three arbitrators; that any member suspended by the union shall be suspended by the company, without pay, until such time as the union requests his reinstatement; that any man elected to an office in the union requiring his absence for not more than a year shall, unon his retirement from such office, have his old place with the company.
