London, June liking Edward held a special court at Buckingham palace, Friday, for the reception of addresses from the lord mayor, Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, and the cor poration, and from the London couR- ty councils, congratulating bis maj esty on the restoration of peace. The king took occasion to express bis sentiments on the subject more fully than heretofore, and the tactful rec ognition which he made of the ster- ling qualities of the Boers will doubt less materially aid in the work of appeasement in South Africa.
 In the Throne Room.
 His majesty, surrounded by the household, received the city digni- taries in the throne room and, re- plying to the lord mayors speech. said
 T thank you in my own name and in the queens, for your loyal and dutiful address, and the congratula- tion you tender us at the close of the war in South Africa. I heartily join in your expression of thankful ness to Almighty God for the term ination of the struggle which, while | it entailed on my people at home and beyond the sea so many sacri- l fees, borne with admirable fortitude, ] has secured a result which will give increased unity and strength to my empire. The cordial and spontaneous | Ill zf I ions as well as in your ancient and loyal city have done much to bring about this happy result.
 Tribute To the BOers.
 You give fitting expression to the admiration universally felt for the valor and endurance of the officers and men who have been engaged in | fighting their country's battles. They have been opposed by a brave and determined people, and had to en- counter uneNampled difficulties. These difficulties were cheerfuliy overcome by steady and persistent effort, and those who were our opponents will now, I rejoice to think, become our friends. It is my earnest hope that by mutual cooperation and good will the bitter feelings of the past may speedily be replaced by ties Of loy- alty and friendship, and that an era of peace and prosperity may be in store for South Africa"
 A Second Response.
 Subsequently, in response to the address of the London county coun- cil, the king spoke as follows:
 q thank you for your expressions of loyalty and effection toward my self and the queen. I rejoice with you at the thought that the victory which has crowned the perseverance and bravery of my forces will pave | the way for the extension to the re- gions newly added to my empire of that system of government which. with Gods blessing, will bring to South Africa the peace and prosper ity that have in every quarter of the | globe followed it's establishment. The readiness with which my subjects throughout the empire have borne their part in the arduous campaign now happily at an end, can not fail | to draw them still more closely to- gether in bonds of loyalty and affec- tion, and I confidently believe that the good feeling which is being dis | played by those who were so recent ly our opponents augurs well for tho | future of that vast country which has been added to the dominions of | the crown
 The civic dignitSries proceeded to and from the palace in edcoaches, attired in their full state robes.

EXECUTIVE MANSION
State viii Probably Have to
Fight Hard for the
Green Homestead.
Especial to -.The Jersey city News."l

TRENTON, April 29, 1902.-Old residents
of the Capital City are discussing the pro-
posed acquisition of the historic home
stead fthe Green family, adjoining the
State House in State street and are spec
ulating or the result of the forthcoming
effort of Attorney General McCarter to
secure the building for an Executive man
sion The statement is made by those
who pretend to know whereof they speak
that the Attorney General is under in
struction from the Governor to get the
place by purchase, if possible, and if not,
then to institute condemnation proceed
ings for the requirement of the property
Governor Murphy is not anxious to talk
on the subject, but he appears TO feel
that the matter will be settled without
much difficulty on the return of Mrs.
Charles Green from Europe and that she
will readily consent to the sale of the
house and land.
The fact that the members of the Green
family do not relish the loss of their his
torie homestead is well known here and
there is much sympathy expressed for
them by friends. Many of the family are
conspicuous figures in the social, business
and political life of the capital. Some of
these friends are urging the family TO
fight the proposition tooth and nail and 10
refuse to seel under any circumstances.
These privy eounseliors advise that the
refusal TO sell win undoubtedly be follow
ed by condemnation proceedings and that
by retaining high class legal assistance
the fight against the plan of cendemna-
ton can be prolonged for years, or until
the end of the present Gabernaterial term
in the belief that the next Governor may
not care for an executive mansion and
with Governor Murphy out of office the
project may be dropped or some other site
selected.
Just what action is to be taken in the
matter by the Attorney General has not
vet been determined, nor is it likely that
anything will be done until Mrs. Green
has returned from her trip abroad ano
has heard the formal proposition for thc
purchase of the property.
