The Transvaal Crisis.
(Per Press Association.) Pretoria. June 2. Special prayers have bees offered up in Transvaal churches for the recovery of Presidert Eruger's wife, who is seriously ill. A movement is on foot in the Band to collect sufficient funds to add a wing to the Johannesberg Hospital to mark the gratitude of the residents at the clemency extended to the Reformers. Capetown, June 4. Eruger wishes to commute the sentences of the leaders to heavy fines, but the Executive fear this would be regarded as proceeding from mere mercenary motives, and prefer the 5 years' sentence should stand.
