THE, BOERS QUIT
And There Will Be No More Fighting
in South Africa.
THEY PUT UP AGALLANT FIGHT.
Exact Terms Under Which Rep-esen-
tatiyps OF Hur@hcrS Have Sur-
rendered NoC Nown. The
Kings New Dominions.'

\ dispatch from London says peace
has been declared after nearly two
years and eight months ofa war which
tried the British empire to it's utter
most and wiped the boers from the
list of nations.
The war has come to an eEd with
Lord kitchcler'S announcement from
Pretoria that he. Lord Miner and the
Beer delegates had signed terms Of
surrender" This announcement has
been anticipated for several days, and
it was definitely forecasted in these
dispatches. but its receipt Sunday
afternoon took the nation by surprise,
as everybody had confidently believed
that the house of commons would
bear the first news Sunday. The edge
of the anticipation with which Great
Britain awaited the promised state
ment in the house CT commons from
Mr.. BalfOur, the government leader,
was still further dulled by the follow
ing message from King Edward to his
people. which was issued after mid
night:
The king has received the welcome
news Of the cessation Of hostilities 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 feeling necessarily en-
gendered by war will give place to
earnest cooperation on the part of his
majesty'S South African subjects in
promoting the welfare of their COM
mon country"
How greatly King Edwards insist
ence that rea"e in South Africa se
secured prior to his coronation infiuenc-
ed the present agreement will probably
not be known until the private me-
moirs of the present regime are given
to the public.
According to dispatch to the Daily
Express from Utrecht, Holland, Mr..
Kruger was informed shortly after 9
o'clock Sunday night that peace had
been declared He bad been asleep.
My God" he said, it is impossible."
Mr.. Kruger and his entourage, the
dispatch continues, hope to be per-
mitted to return to the Transvaal.
This, however, is quite unlikely.

Feed the Entire World.

The United States is the great
bread producing country of the
earth, and if our supply of foodstufs
was suddenly cut off half the people
of ether countries would sfarve to
death. Recently published statistics
show that the United States sells ap-
proximately $1,000, 100000 worth Of
surplus agricultural products in a
year. They feed the armies of Beers
and English, and a squeeze in prices
in America is felt all over the world.
England is the best customer of this
country IN food supplies. In 1900 we
sold her S+OS. .000,G0O worth of farm
products. Germany spent here S134,-
OOO,0A0 for agricultural products.
.AbSHt half of this was for cotton,
the rest was for food. France buys
annually from us about s45,oo0,ooo
worth of agricultural products, most
ly bread and meat.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

Concealed Weapons.

After July 1St it will be unlawful IN
this State to sell or carry pistol less
than twenty inches long and three
pounds in weight. The statute is
very plain and is embraced in an act
passed last year. 1t provided, section
I29, in effect, that from and after
July l. 1902, it shall be unlawful for
any one, except peace officers and per-
sons on their own premises, to carry
about the'perSon, whether concealed
or not" any pistol of less than twenty
inches length and three pounds
weight, and for any person. firm or
corporation to manufacture, sell or
offer for sale, or transport for use or
sale in this state" any such pistol.
ANY violation of tho section, it is
provided, shall be punished by a fine
of not less than one hundred dollars
or Imprisonment for not more than
thirty days" and in case of viola
tion by a firm or a corporation it shall
forfeit one hundred dollars, to be re-
covered as other fines and forfeitureS:
all fines and forfeitures provided for
in the act to go, when collected. to
the school fund of the county in
which the violation occurs.
1t will be interesting to see how it
will be enforced. The dealers, whe-
ther individuals or firms, who have
weapons under the prescribed length
and weight on hand for sale and sub
seQuent use, do not appear to be great
" concerned, and there is no report
of disposition or their part to un-
load their stock at reduced prices. 1t
is probable. on the whole, that the
act will not be enforced very rigidly,
if at all.

New zealand's Island Federation.

Another step in the realization of
Mr.. Scddon's dream of an island fed
Grafton apart from the Australian
commonwealth. of which New Zea
land should be the acknowledged
center. was taken during the last
month. when that statesman pro-
vided in his budget for lower rate
of taxation on goods imported into
the Cook islands-the only group
which %ew Zealand has SO far an
nexed-than on Australian goods,
and declared that goods from New
Zealand would ultimately be admit
ted free. In view of the determined
effort by New Zealand to anfalga-
mate with the Fiji island group this
action is regarded as an indication
of the anti-commonwealth policy
that would be adopted if Mr.. Sed-
don's scheme is carried out.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

MAY SINK IN THE SEA.
An American Scientist Makes an
Alarming Report.

\ dispatch from Kingston, on the
Island of St. Vincent. says La Sou
friere volcano is still active. Another
eruption occurred at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. 1t was accompanied by a
thunderous noise and shock of earth
quake while volumes of dense Vapor
ascended to such height that they
were visible from Kingstown. The
vapor formed a thick cloud over the
crater Of the volcano and this cloud
was illumined as if by fire. In the
crater itself the lightning was more
vivid than upon any previous occasion.
No damage was done and the eruption
ceased at the end Of an hour. With
the exception Of these occurrences the
night was quiet and the weather fair.
Throughout Friday the crater was
capped with dense gray and silver
clouds, and sand fell heavily this
morning on the leeward side Of the
mountain within a radius Of eight
miles.
The American scientist who started
to ascend La Soufriere is still striving
to reach the summit. During the in
tervalS when the volcano was quiet
Saturday he reached point almost
half way up the mountain. He reports,
to the awe of the inhabitants, that
the island of st. Vincent may subside.
There are clear indications, ne says,
that considerable portion of the lee
ward district will subSide. Owing to-
the continuous rain, there have been
heavy floods in the windward district
OF the Island and many houses have
been washed away or filled with mud.
At Rabacca, the storehOuSe, a large
brick building, was washed away into
the sea by stream of mud.

The decorations of the hail where the

more attractive meeting place Is seldom
seen. The rear of the platform was bank
ed with a profuse and tastefully arranged
display of beautiful palms and tropical
plants, while in the front was a large vase
of brght-colored flowers. Just above the
rear of the platform, and showing out dis
tinctly from among the taller plants, was
the national insignia of the order Two i'm
