The Irapsvaal War is over. After q
long conference on the 21st March, be-
tween Sir Evelyn Wood, Mr.. Joubert, and
President Brand, tho Boer leaders agreed
70 the final terms telegraphed by the Bri-
fish Government. These terms, ten in
number, were read out on Tuesday to the
Lords BY Lord Kimberley, and to the
Commons by Mr.. Gladstone. They place
the Trabsvaal in the position of Travan-
core or tie Nizam's ..Dominions. The
Beers sgrss to abandon Laing's Neck and
to dispense, to acknowledge the Queen az
Euzeraip, to cede certain districts to the
east OF long. 800 inhabited by native tribes
aDd to admit q Resident at the capital,
with powers not yet explained, to protect
the natives. All foreign relations are
reserved to the Grown. They agree, as to
boundaries and modes Of protecting natives
to abide by the award of three Commits
1ioners. Sir Hercules Robinson, Sir E. Wood,
and Chief Justice Villiers, and while their
decision is pending admit the existing
British, garrisons. They absolutely refused,
however, to allow British troops to march
to Heidelberg, and they prohibit the ad-
vance of the forces until the Commission
has given it's decisions. The terms were
received in the House of Commons with
obvious approval, and. on the whole have
given modified satisfaction to the country,
which does not feel very victorious, but
has q conscientious scruple about prose
cuting the war. Sir E. Roberts has been
ordered to return from the Cape, with
most of his troops.
There is, 90 we have shown elsewhere,
no dishonour 10 the settlement. It may
be bad policy in a scheolmaster to let off
an unruly boy, but bis honour is not in
question. The Beers. in dispensing, do all
that is required to indicate submission,
the talk about disarming them being rub
Dish. Nobody disarms enemies who sub
nit to terms to which the other party
agrees. We are not, however, quite salts.
fed with the guarantees given tor the
natives. The clause about foreign relations
will protect the tribes, but it will not
protect the natives within the Trans
vaal, and it may be doubted if the Resident
can. He will never hear what goes on in
30 extensive a territory, and if he does will
have no means at first of enforcing his
circumstances. The Beers will threaten
resistaOce, and he will know that the
Colonial Office does not want another war.
AT the same time, we do not know that
better terms could have been ob-
tanned without q campaign which
might have brought the Free State into
the field, and would certainly have ended
ia apguerrilla war over q vast territory,
during which every commandant would
have treated the natives within his range
as Front de Bmufs treated Saxons. The
settlement ID for the best, especially as
bigger questions are on hand; but we do
not cordially like it, and do not see why
the, Transvaal should not have become a
Frss Colony, like the Cape. Then the
Crown could have vetoed cruel Acts.

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

A very quiet election was that of yester-
day. The little excitement there was was
created exclusively by the candidates and
the coIored voters. No disorder of any
kind prevailed anywhere in the city, which
is certainly gratifying to relate. Little or
no betting was INDUCED in by outsiders,
and everybody seemed to look upon the
event with pleasure, rather than with any
feelings Of dislike toward the opponents Of
his fayOritcs. The results as published
below were anticipated by many; in fact
they could hardly have been otherwise in
view OF all the circumstances. There IS
now no excuse for any spcculations as to
what were the hidden causes that brought
about the results, but there is this certainty
that yesterdays work at the polls will be
felt in Cairo's affairs during the next
two years; whether that influence will
be good, or otherwise, depends not upon
the executive alone, but upon all who have
been raised TO positions OF trust in the city
government.
The vote, according to official counts
made early this morning, is as follows;

THE ENTERTAINMENT LAST NIGHT.

The athencum was the attractive point
for Cairo's society yesterday evening. An
audience composed of the city's best pco-
pie filled nearly every seat
in the large room below, while
many made themselves comfortable
in the galleries. A more elegant, intelli-
gent and more appreciative audience never
gathered in any theatre anywhere, and it is
our candid opinion that there never was
gathering of people so refined and elevated
in literary taste as this one, that was 50
thoroughly pleased with and SO filled with
admiration for the efforts OF
any star of the stage The songs, by Mrs.
W. p. Halliday and Mrs. ]. NJ. Lansden
were rendered in their usually impressive
style. Hermann, Rescue me- by Mrs.
Lansden was the first on the programme
and gwen in a sweet, full voice that filled
the entire room with music. Miss Kittic
Alvord followed her with series Of selec
tons from various authors; the first being
Archie Dean, by Gail Hamilton; the next,
"rhc Dream of Eugene Aram;' the third
was Rock of Ages and the fourth, "The
Canal. boat, by Harriet B, Stowe. THIS was
followed by waltz song from Mrs. W. p.
Halliday, one of Cairo's most noted sing
crs. After this Miss Kittie Alvord gave
"Hcnry VS. Woong," from Shakespeare
a selection, The Cheap Jack, y from Charles
Dickens, and "Ophclia's Mad Scenes,
from Shakcspeare's Hamlet Then a
ballad, robin Adair,' by Mrs J. NJ. Lans
den closed the evenings entertainment.
1t Is a difficult undertaking to do
Justice to an affair Of this
kind. 1t is impossible to convey TO a
reader the impressions made upon an audi,
ence by genous, and it is equally impos-
sible to give An adequate description of the
manner in which those impressions are
brought about. The songs were beautifully
rendered and formed no small part Of the
evenings delightful entertainment, but the
recitals of Miss Alvord were simply superb.
Her conceptions Of the characters she
sought to portray were perfect her; rep
reservations powerful and true unto
reality; her ennunciaton clear; her voice
full, sweet and under per
feet control; her manner, gen
eral gcsticuatlon and expression is
taultlcss and her general appearance and
hearing would make picture for an artist.
At various times she electrified the audi
ence and throughout her recitatons she
held the closest attention of all present
The perfect silence that reigned when her
voice was lowered almost to whisper, Or
when it burst forth in power of passion,
swaying the large audience at her will, was
broken only by the loud applause that
would follow ut the conclusion OF every
piece. At the end Of her third recitation a
number OF beautiful boquets OF natural
flowers were tossed to her. The entertain
mcnt lasted until nearly eleven o'clock, and
then all went home satisfied that all who
participated in the exercises had added to
their alrcady full wreath Of laurels. 1t
will be remembered for many years as
one OF the grandest society events that ever
occurred in Cairo.
