ALL ENGLAND JUBLIANT OVER THE FACT

The Announcement Of Peace with the
Beers Received with Great Rejoicing

Terins of Peace Made Public
LONDON: With the exception of Ire
land, practically the whole of the United
Kingdom was holiday making in honor
of the conclusion of peace in South
Africa. The streets everywhere were
thronged with people who, every now
and then, relieved their overstrung
nerves by outbursts of hoarse cheering,
or by the braying of penny trumpets

the people, and the absence therein of
any note of exultation seems, however,

giving free vent TO their own satifac-

centers, the Mansion-house. the royal
exchange, Trafalgar square, etc, and
/ quickly bedecked themselves with tiny
flags, buttons and badges At inter
walls some enthusiast starts singing

mp the the happy throngs and was
heard for miles through the neighboring
] streets from pf ln

the members bid up South African Sc
curities and consols. congratulatory
message was sent to Lord Kitchener.
The members then marched to the
Mansion house and serenaded the Lord
Nayor. Late levee at St James

On the adjournment of the cabinet
meeting the crowds repaired to Buck
! ingham Palace and st. james Palace
and further relieved their feeling by
cheering the King and other notabil-
| ties who attended the levee, at which
