Col. Baden-PoweII's Brother
in London has received a telegram
from a Dutch friend in Pretoria, saying
that Mafeking has been relieved.
The performers in the London music
halls and theaters last evening had lit
tie use for stage business or for the
lines of their pieces. The audiences
which crowded the Alhambra, the EN-
pire, Covent Garden or the theatres
had no desire to attend to stage per-
formances. The first sight of a bio
graph scene in the T~ransvaal or the
first glimpse of a military or naval
costume on the stage was sufficient to
create an uproar
The Prince of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of York and the Portuguese
minister, Senior Pinto do Several, oc-
cupied a box at the Covent Garden,
where "Lohengrin" was being pre-
scented, and when the relief of Mafe-
king was announced they joined heart
lily in the applause.
The London fire insurance law makes
fireworks impossible, and the city
lacked the blaze of illumination char
acteristic of American cities during
similar rejoicings. The Britisher,
therefore, relies upon lung power and
from st. Paul's Cathedral to Westmin-
ster Abbey and up through Piccadilly
to Hyde Park there was a Niagara
like roar, incessant, rising and falling,
hour after hour, as the surging masses
poured through London's thorough
fares like the professions on the eve
of a presidential election in the United
States.
At Carlton hotel, which is filled with
Americans, the bands played March
ing Through Georgia. which has been
recently adapted to an English song
entitled Marching to Pretoria" DIX
lie" and other American airs were
played.
Ten thousand people stood in front
of Mrs. Baden-PowelFs house in st.
Georges Place, cheering and singing,
and a score of cabs brought congrat-
ulations.
