Unless the scientists are mistaken
there need be no real enxiety about
the 17-year locusts which have APP
peared in different parts Of the country,
as the most harm they can do is to strip
young trees of the foliage. Their life
is very short, very brief, indeed, when
compared with the 17years which they
have remained in the earth before com
ing to life.

clined to take any chances, and moth
ing concerning the receipt of this
message was allowed to leak out. At
about one o'clock Sunday afternoon
the war office received the following
dispatch from Lord Kitchener:
"A document containing terms of sur
render was signed here this evening at
1920 o'clock by all the Boer representa-
tives as we'll as by Lord Miner the
British high commissioner in South At
rica) and myself"
The clerk on duty at the war office
transmitted this message to Bucking
ham palace, where King Edward was
lunching. At about five O'Clock word
was received permitting the publ
cation of the message, and the small
notice which was stuck up outside
the war office consisted of copy of
Lord Kitchener's cablegram. A sim
liar notice was put outside OF the
colonial office. Beyond these two
skinny bits of paper London knew
nothing of the great event. In the
clubs, the hotels and the newspaper
offices, which were almost deserted,
the momentous news was licked out
on the tape.
At the Mansion House.
Then like wildfre, at about six
o'clock, London awakened to the fact
that the South African war was over.

London would show its appreciation
of the good news by behaving itself
decently and in an orderly manner.

Alaska six inches deep with volcanic
dust and ashes for a radius of more

possible to read paper in the light of
the volcano even during the long Arc

Exact Terms GuErded.
Whether Lord Kitchener cableG
also the terms of the treaty as signed
is unknown to the general public in
London It is believed, however, that
he enlightened the war office to an
extent far beyond the meager an
nouncement of peace which the Off
Gals condescended to make known
This opinion is confirmed by the
guarded declarations the officials per
NIT to be whispered about in Down
ing street. These are to the effect
that Great Britain made numerous
concessions, which, although they de-
stroyed the national individuality Of
the Beers, yet gave the burghers
many rights for which they have
been fighting since they began to
harass the British by their prolonged
guerrilla warfare.
Following are some of the terms
that are said to be contained in the
document that has been signed:
Beers are to be permitted to retain
their rifles to protect them against the
savages and wild beasts of the veldt
upon swearing allegiance to Great Brit
ain. They will also be allowed limited
amount of ammunition.
Beers are promised autonomy within
a brief period.
Great Britain will rebuild the Boer
farm houses and restock the Boer farms,
allowing the former owners to return
to the peaceful pursuit of agriculture.
Boer prisoners in st. Helena, CeYlon,
the West Indies and other British pris-
ons are to be repa tria ted within a stated
time provided they take the oath of al
legiance to the British empire.
Great Britain promises to make land
grant to those Beers who prefer to start
anew in some other colony of the en-
pire than South Africa: Beers who wish
to migrate to another country outside
the British domain will receive a grant,
probably in money, sufficiently large,
probably to enable them to begin life

been anticipated for several days, and
it was definitely forecasted in these
dispatches; but it's receipt Sunday at
ternoon took the nation by surprise,
as everybody had confidently believed
that the house of commons would hear
the first news to-day.
The Kings Message.
The edge of the anticipation with
which Great Britain awaited the
promised statement in the house of
commons from Mr. Balfour, the gov
eminent leader, was still further
dulled by the following message from
King Edward to his people, which
was issued after midnight:
The king has received the welcome
news of the cessation of hostilittes in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction,
and his majesty trusts that peace may
speedily be followed by the restoration
of prosperity in his new dominions, and
that the feelings necessarily engendered
by war will give place to earnest CO.
operation on the part of his majesty S
South African subjects in promoting the
welfare of their common country"
How greatly King Edwards insist
ence that peace in South Africa be Sc
cured prior to his coronation infu-
enced the present agreement will prob
ably not be known until the private
memoirs of the present regime are
given to the public.
Kruger hears the News.
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Express from Utrecht, Holland, Mr..
Kruger was informed shortly after
nine o'clock last night that peace had
been declared. He had been asleep.

Mr.. Kruger and his encourage, the dis

Lord Kitchener's Dispatch.

so anxiously awaiting came charac-
teristically on an entirely pacific and
uninteresting Sunday afternoon, when
London presents a deserted appear

patch was received from Lord Kitch-

Secretary Roots Views on
Cuban Tariff.
PRESIDENT CONCURS WITH HIM.
Nothing Less Than IA Reciprocal Ar
rangemcnt, Giving Equal Ccnces-
siOns to Products of Both Nations,
Acceptable Proposed Rebate
Measure for One Year Unsatisfac-
tory.

President Roosevelt and Secretary Root
will oppose any compromise measure pro-
viding for tariff rebate on Cuban
products.
They are determined to accept nothing
else than reciprocal tariff arrangement.
which will give to Cuban products coming
into the United States tine same conces-
sions as Cuba may give to American
products.
Secretary Root believes further that
whatever legislation is adopted should
conform strictly to the third section Of
the Dingley tariff act.
Individual Efforts Vain.
In Secretary Roots opinion, considera-
tions of public policy alone should govern
the formation of any plans for Cuban
tariff concessions. He does not look for
any result from the efforts of individuals
to reach a compromise on the subject.
1t can be said emphatically that the
Secretary is absolutely opposed to any
efforts at compromise, and has given no
consideration to the question of compro-
mise, and will give none.
The Presidents Views.
There is no doubt whatever that this
view of the subject is entertained by both
the President and General Wood. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has consulted freely with
Secretary Root on the question Of tariff
concessions for Cuba, and fully approves
of the ideas advanced by the Secretary Of
War.
The proposed rebate measure for one
year agreed upon by Mr.. Oxnard and Mr..
Pavey does not meet with their approval,
and will probably not be presented to
Congress.
Opposes Rebate Plan.
Secretary Root is particularly opposed
to the rebate idea for one year, which will
leave the question still unsettled at the
end of the year, and require further leg
islation.

FOR CAPITOL ARCHITECT.
Elliott Woods and Glenn Brown
Prominently Spoken or,

Prominently Spoken OF.
An extremely strong petition for the
appointment of Elliott Woods as nrchitec
of the Capitol will be presented to the
President. either tday or tomorrow. II
already bears the signatures of the Lead
ers of both the Senate and House. and
of the majority of members of both
branches.
1t is expected to prove an effective
counterweight to the objection made by
Mr.. McKim. member of the Park Com
mission, who represents the National AS
sociation of Architects.
The objection was. in brief that Mr..
Woods was not graudate of any school
of architecture. and that all his expert
ence was gained in the Capitol under the
direction OF the late architect. Edward
Clark, who died several days ago.
Before the National Association of
Architects made this objection. Mr..
Woods appointment seemed a practical
certainty.
Several of the most influential leaders
in both House and Senate are of the de-
cided opinion. however. that he should
be appointed anyway. They argue that
for the past several years, on account OF
the illness of Mr.. Clark, he has been the
acting architect of the Capitol, and as
such. has demonstrated his ability by
carrying out some very complicated al
terations OF that edifice.
The name of Glenn Brown. a we'll
known architect. has been urged upon
the President for consideration in con-
nection with the vacancy caused by Mr..
Clarks death. 1t is expected tina: the
matter will be settled in the near future.

There are none which cannot be cured by this
remarkable remedy. The record of the cures
already made is truly marvellous, and were it
not for the high standing of the great physician

citizens all over the country it would seem too
miraculous to be true.

he stands ready and willing to send free trial
packages of this great hair restorative to any
one who writes to him for it. enclosing 2-cent

or sex. Old men and young men. and
children all have profited by the free of this
great new discovery. Write today ii you are
