which continued long after midnight.
Outside Of Buckingham palace.
where King Edward kept himself in
seclusion, a crowd of fairly good pro.
portions gathered, and here, as else.
where, the national anthem was sung

Two sentries and many policemen
guarded the historic message outside
OF the war office. 1t could scarcely be
read by the pickering gaslight. After
reading this notice, the people passed
on in eager crowds into the more east
ern districts of London, where there
were no illuminations such as made
the clubs on Pail Mall noticeable.
Good old Kitchener" and Were
bloomin glad it's over" were among
the phrases shouted by the crowds. A
large number of those who had rela-
tives at the front participated in to.
nights street scenes and lent a seri.
Gus and often pathetic touch to what
otherwise would have been an anus
ing scene.
Dear old Bill" or some such name
would be called out by some one in
the crowd, with an added Hell soon
be 'ome."
While the general public celebrat
ed the peace news in the streets soci

quite so demonstrative. Many refer.
ences were made to the coincidence of

The cabinet will meet this morning
and will probably discuss the wording
of the statement to be made by Mr.

house of commons. This statement is
eagerly awaited, as it understood Mr..
Balfour will enlighten his hearers as to
the conditions upon which the Beers
surrendered. On this important point

anticipations with which the papers
have been filed for the past week

nouncing the signing of the terms of
surrender says the British authorities
absolutely rejected the suggestion of
| the BOer delegates that the terms of
surrender should be ratified by Mr.

in Europe had no hand in the settle

THE terms will show, continues the

eminent carried its contentious on ev
cry vital point. while the minor con
cessions, particularly those in regard
to the generous financial treatment
will greatly appeal to the Beers in gen

ed There is no doubt that peace will
! be popular among the Beers"
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. the

nouncement of peace:
"The whole country will rejoice over
or conditions, but hope they are such
as will be full of promise for the flu
