Continued Through the Night


 London, March 2.-2 a. m.-Until midnight London gave itself up to the widest ex- pressions of joy. From tfle Mansion House to the West End all trading thor oughfares were constantly paraded by cheering crowds, M,aermdttingGy bursting into patriotic songs. Bands marchlns through the streets assisted With StralnS of jIbilation, and the same exultant notes were to be heard at every railroad station or place of public gathering throughout the metropolis. The West End clubs. the cafes, the restaurants and the public build ings were brilliantly illuminated and their interiors, even to the tables, were beau- tifuMy decorated with flags, bunting and ingenious arrangements Of electric lights. At all the music halls patriotic songs were given, the people rising and joining amid scenes of unIbounded enthusiasm Hardly a person could be met with who was no. wearing the national emblem in the shape of a ud-color rosette or rJ5bon The bio graph representations of leading generals and heroes of the war were greeted with tremendous acciama tions.
 Many American Flags
 One striking feature of the rejoicing was the great number of American flags inter- twined With the British. At Il o'clock when the theaters and music nallS poured lortih thousands the juoiial,lons were redoubled. In Trafalgar Square every available inch of space, including the Plinth of Lions at Nelson's column was occupied by surg ing, cheering crowd. All joined in singing 'fGod Save the Queen" applaudlng every reference to Roberts, Butler, White, Baden Powell and the rest. The scene at this point was almost without precedent, and it is not likely ito be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
 A smaller but almost equally striking demonstration occurred in the vicinity of St. Paups church yard earlier in the even- ing, when the famous peal of chimes was rung in honor of the occasion.
 Pal Mall, the Strand, Fleet street, and Cheapside echoed and reechoed until long after midnight the cheers and songs of the slowly and reluctantly dispersing crowds. At clock this morning there comes from Mansion house square, every few minutes, the soung of vigorous cheering. Every where groups of people can be seen, and although noisy, they are perfectly or- derly.
 Great throngs remained in the vicinity of the war office until Il o'clock last night, when was announced that no further news was at hand for publication. From every part of the country there is a con- stant influx of telegrams, describing the rejoicing.
 Great Enthusiasm in Dublin
 The news was received with great en- thusiasm at Dublin, where, however, the Julbilant spectacle of the Trinity college students carried them beyond the bounds of discretion. A large body of them marched to the Dublin Mansion house, where they sealed the garden wall and captured a green flag flying in the grounds. policeman and the servants of the mayor and household, with others struggled des- perately to recover the trophy, and event. ually wrested it from the invaders, several of whom were injured. Other constables soon arrived on the scene, and a number of students were arrested. Later in the day many assaults were committed, chiefly in the neigh'borhood of college green. A strong force of police kept the students within the college grounds and cut off from the excited crowd that assembled in front of the college buildings. The stu dents were arragned and small fines were inflicted. No further disorders occurred
 Great rejoicings are reported at Malta, and also at GIbralter, where effigy of President Kruger in chains was paraded.
 Lady White, wife of Sir George White, and Lord and Lady Lansdowne, all of whom attended the performance at the AL hambra, were cheered for several minutes At all the theaters were scenes of enthusi- asm, vocal manifestations and the waving of flags. In parliament the on-looker would have had no idea that anything greatly un- usual had happened.
