JOY IN LONDON.
News of CrOnje's Surrender Received
with Wild Demonstrations.

News of CrOnje's Surrender Received
with Wild DEMONSTRATIONS.
The news of Gen. CrOnje's surrender
reached London Tuesday morning during
a sudden downpour of rain and spread by
word of mouth almost before the extra
papers appeared. Englishmen thawed at
once. Absolute strangers stopped in the
streets, shook hands and slapped each
others backs. In office buildings some
went down the corridors hammerins
doors and shouting the glad tidlngs.
Many rushed to the telegraph offices.
while excited throngs blocked the Win
dows and flags We're run up everywhere.
A stranger entering London would not
have known the town. The usual staid
Englishman for the moment was insane
with joy. Proceedings on the stock ex-
change opened with the singing OF God
Save the Queen" and then the jubilant
brokers cheered Roberts. Kitchener and
everybody connected with the war again
and again.
Pail Mall was thronged, and the war
office packed with shouting and cheering
crowds. Congratulations We're exchanged
on every side. 1t was really the first
chance the public has had to jubilate. and
no one seemed to neglect the opportunity.
The fact that it was the anniversary OF
the battle Of Majuba Hill added to the
effectiveness of the news. carrying as 1t
did the avenging of the disastrous defeat
the British had sustained nineteen years
ago. Gen. Cronje's surrender will have
a far-reaching effect. 1t opens the south

lates the Beers in northern Cape Colony.

but the Transvaal is still untouched. \
stubborn resistance is expected there.
Cronje left Maagersfontein with his ar
my on the night of Thursday, Feb. IL.
trekking eastward across the front of
Roberts big army and ending the cav
airy of Gen. French. Roberts soon got
wind of the fact that his bird was flee
ing and the mounted infantry started in
pursuit. The infantry under kelly-Eenny
followed by forced marches and Cronje
was caught up with in the bed of the
MOdder river in the vicinity of koOdOes-
rand Drift. His rear guard put up Il
brilliant fight while CrOnje was making
hasty preparations for a stand.
Although his position was regarded as
hopeless after Roberts caught up with
him, military men could see method in
the madness of CrOnje's resistance. BY

Talks Of the Days when There was
Money in WhalinR.

ing his black. shOrt-stemmed pipe;
gaunt, brOnzed and grizzled, with a
far-On look in his dimming eyes and
the deep-graven traces Of tropic suns
and arctic winds in his face, says the
National Magazine.
There was money in whaling before
the days of mineral oil and substitutes
for whalebone," said he. But it was
a hard life. at best. What with the
chances Of poor season and scurvy
and bad food and perhaps being Ice
bound three or four winters running,
1t wasn't all roses, by any means. We
got two irons in an old scragg once
an eighty barrel bull whale-and down
he went to the bottom. 1t was deep
water and he took out 500 fathoms Of
line before he stopped. Pretty soon he
rose right under the boat, lifted it
about twenty feet out of the water and
tumbled US all out. The captains boat
picked us up and the old man put a
lance into him and brought blood and
killed him. Another time We got fast
to a fifty-foOt oowhead in the OkhOtsh
sea. He got wound up in the line and
charged us. One fuke came down
across the boat amidships and killed an
Oarsman. We all jumped and swan
for the other boats. leaving him to
smash ours into little pieces.
Queer things about whales" con-
tinued the captain, knocking the ashes
from his pipe, ''is their duke. It's
smooth on the outside and yet inside
the bones are like those in a mans
hand. Then. too. though they live in
the water, they're q warm-blOOded ami

The Senate had rather lazy time of il
Monday, The session was very brief.
Bills were introduced as follows: Ex-
tending TO June I, 1900, the tine within
which railroad companies are required to
equip their ears with automatic couplers;
to authorize the trustees of any county
children's home to use bequests in such
manner as they may deem for
the institutions best interests; to
provide for the payment by the county
from which the action is sent Of the jury
costs in cases where there is q change OF
venue; to provide for the listing of all
properties exempt from taxation.
Monday was bill day in the House and a
large number were introduced, a majority
being local bills.
The following bills were passed in the
Senate Tuesday: Increasing the penalty
for creating a disturbance in a public
meeting of any sort. The maximum term
Of Imprisonment is fixed at 80 days and the
maximum fine 800; making the stealing
OF bicycle penitentiaIy Offense; to
amend statute so as to allow attorneys to
verify their own pleadings; to place the Of
ficialS OF Meigs County upon salary ba-
sis.
Bills passed the House as follows: Pro-
viding for the transfer of $1,000 from the
pike fund to the bridge fund Of Brown
County; sundry appropriation bill, apprO-
priating $4,000 to pay the current ex-
penses of the legislative session; making
an appropriation of $53,OO0 for monu-
ment at Shiloh and the expenses Of the
Shiloh Commission gave occasion for q
flood Of OratOry; authorizing the Board Of
Education Ut Wellshire School District, in
Van Vert County, to levy an additional
tax OF seven mills for school purposes.
After a discussion which occupied the
greater part of the morning the bill intro
duced by Nr. AnkeEey, requiring county
surveyors to make and keep up a set Of
platS Of all lots and lands, aAd to verify all
descriptions OF deeds instruments and plats
pertaining to real estate presented for
transfer record, passed the House.
Representative Haner's joint resolution,
proposing an amendment to the constitu-
tiOn of Ohio granting suffrage to the wo-
men, failed to pass the House Wednesday.
1t received but 81 votes and required 66,
the constitutional tsree-ffths, to pass the
House. Possibly the resolution would
have met better fate had it not been for
the conduct Of the ladies who filled the
galleries and OverflOwed to the floor Of the
House. During the speeches Of orators
who favored their cause the ladies kept up
a constant chatter, which proved absolute
ly impervious to the rappings Of the Speak
er's gavel. When any member veDtured to
oppose the proposition they vented their
disapprOval by stormy Kissing. The only
good accomplished by the resolution was
to create an OritOrical field day.
Bills passed the Senate as follows: Pro-
viding for the appointment by the Govern
or of Safe Board of Examiners Of En-
gineers; authorizing appropriations from
the general revenue fund OF $4,000 for
salaries and mileage Of members Of the
General Assembly and per diem Of officers,
$1,000 for contingent expenses Of the House
and 5000 for contingent expenses Of the
Senate.

Noteworthy COincident of the Surren-

Those who take note OF condolences
point out that the surrender Of Cronje
and his men took place on the anniver-
sary of Majuba Hill, a minor British
defeat Mt the hands of the Beers which
has had far-reaching consequences. Ma
juba has been 6aunted in British faces
during the last nineteen years, and there
is little doubt that the British are glad
the old score is now more than even.
How deeply this old defeat has sunk in
British hearts is seen from the fact that
even Lord Roberts, in his communication
to the war Office, says: Il hope that her
majesty's government will consider this
event satisfactory, occurring, as it did, on
the anniversary of Majuha."
