ment Of peace in South Africa
was celebrated I'm London tonight
with a wild repetition Of the Mafeking
celebration. Hundreds of thousands of
ueople surged through the streets Of
London from Whitechapel to BuclIing-
ham palace. but never at any time did
the crowds equal those which created

Tonight there was a tremendous
noise In the streets. a pandemonium of
horns and cheers and the hOarse jests
off rOsters, but the abandon which
marked the announcement of the re-
lief Of Mafcking and Ladysmith was
lacking
Women. many Of them carrying
babies boys. drunken loafers and 9TH
rrs glad Of any excuse to defy law
and order. were the principal elements
IN the ragged professions passing and
rcpassing through the principal streets.

showed that London did not show the
same symptoms of rejoicing as on Ma
.ekug night I'm some quarters the
Comment on the peace with honor
ending OF the war was that Great Brit
ain has the peace and the Beers have
81 the hogOr. Several members of the
house OF commons declared freely to-
night that peace I'm South Africa might
have been secured a year earlier. and
upon better terms. had not the British
government been so Obdurate.
Tho decorations and Nominations Of
London took on q more organized form
as tho peace news grew older. The
American and Irish flags figured large
ly among the decorations. while the
now ensign of the Australian fedora
ton made its first appearance i'm ma
ii0nal celebration. Tho words God
Save the King were very generally
inscribed across the CnioH Jacks. This
was a sort Of unconscious tribute of
Oh" national belief that peace I'm South
Africa was due more To King Edwards
personal influence than to any other
cause
a curious feature Of the nights street
scenes was that banners were carried
iu several professions bearing the in
seriptIon, Brave Butler" Not a cab
or carriage or bus was driven through
the streets tonight but what was dec

luo''stion in st. James park. The large
crowd which had assembled there
waited until late hour for a chance
To- cheer members of the royal family
bound for Buckingham palace.
AZ the height Of the rejoicing a
h'arsc passed through PiccadiUy, and
even the uud"~takers' assistants. who
are known as mutes, waved Union
Flags on a Hearse.
throughout the evening the crowds
exhibited the utmost good humor. and
LhNe some Of the worst elements i'm

,aaliy To- disgrace themselves. the an
"''lrement Of peace on the whole was
received with merely a wild demon
