HISTORY OF PEACE NEGOTIATION
English Refused to Consider ANY Pro-
position Involving Independence.

London, June "A parliamentary paper
issued this evening gives the correspond
ence preceding the peace agreement. From
this it appears that General Schalk-Burger
(acting President OF the TransvaaD in
formed Lord Kitchener, March II, that he
was prepared to make peace proposals. A
month later the Boer delegates submitted
propositions, On April 13. the war secre-
| tary, MIR. Rrodrick, refused to entertain
any propositions based on the independ-
ence of the republics. Subsequently Presi-
dent Stcyn of the Orange Free State. and
| Generals Schalk-Burger and Rotha de-
clared that the surrender Of independence
must be submitted to the burghers In the
field. The British government expressed
surprise at this attitude, but, announced
its willingness to accept the Beers surren-
der on the same terms that Lord Kitchener
had previously offered General Botha. and
to give facilities for q consultation Of the
Boer commands.
On May II General Schalk- Burger and
Mr.. Steyn informed Lord Kitchener that
the burghers assembled at Vereeniging had
empowered commission to negotiate
peace terms. subject to ratification at We
reenging. Lord Miner. Lord Kitchener
and the Boer commission met May 49, The
latter offered to surrender the independ-
ence of the republics, as regards foreign
relations; to surrender part of their terri
tory and retain self-government under
British supervision. These proposals were
forthwith rejected.
The same day Lord Miner, General
SHUTS and Judge Hertzos drew up form
of agreement to be submitted to the con-
ference at Vereeniging for a yea or no vote.
This was very similar to the final agree
ment, and with few alterations was APP
proved by Mr.. Chamberlain who. In giving
notice of his approval told Lord Miner he
| must inform the Beers that unless 1t was
accepted within fixed limit of time the
conference would be considered ended and
his majestys government would not be
bound In any way by the present declara-
lions. The Beers asked to be allowed until
Saturday night to give an answer ana the
result was seen In the termination OF the
war
The last message OF Lord Miner to Mr..
chamberlain, June I, after the signature OF
the peace agreement. mentions that Mr..
STEMS name was omitted from the sigma
lures because he was too III to come mp ia
Pretoria. adding that he had already taken
his parole.

Taken There from Swantop Last
Thursday.

Sheldon, June DIR. z. NJ. Brown, who
has charge of the sick at the county poor
house in this town. was called there to-
day, to see Charles Walker, who was
brought to that institution from Swanton
on Thursday and found him suffering from
what he fears to be small pox. Walker was
sick when taken to the poor house, but no
physician was called until to-day. Being
alarmed at Walkers condition DR.. Brown
summoned DR.. S. W. Paige of st. Adams
and both physicians declare they have
never before seen a similar case. They
placed the poor house in quarantine and
have taken every precauton against the
spread of the disease.
Walker has recently been in St. Adams.
where the disease prevailed and had been
in Swanton but a few days.
Drs. II. ID. Belden of St. Adams and J.
II. Hamilton OF Richford have been sum
moned and will investigate the case to-
morrow morning.

B0ER DELEGATES SHUT OUT
England Would Not Recognise Them
in Peace Neg otiations.

The Hague, June 1.-The news Of the
conclusion of peace in South Africa was
received here with very mixed feelings.
While there Ia general satisfaction that
the war Is ended. unvarying regret Is ex-
pressed at the loss Of Boer independence.
The Boer delegates here are in par
ticulariy trying position. 1t has been
learned upon good authority that the Brit
ssh government at the last moment refused
to allow the Beers In South Africa to com
municate with their leaders in Europe
thus the delegates on the continent were
entirely shut out of the negotiations and
were ignorant even of the terms OF sur
render, except as they learned OF them
through the newspapers.
Dutch offtcial referring to the news
from South Africa, said:
"rhe delegates made a great mistake in
not complying with the ardent wish Of The
Dutch government at the time Of the
overtures made by DR.. Kuyper, the prem
Ter, which was that they apply for safe
conducts TO South Africa"

his carriage. The cab horse fell and lay
struggling under the royal vehicle. The

The rendering OF this air was a feature
at all places OF amusement in London to-
night
Flags and buntin are everywhere
displayed, church bells are ringing
salutes are being fired and there
is general jubilation on all sides. Crowds
OF suburbanites poured into London at an
early hour and converged towards usual
centers, the Mansion House, Royal Ex-
change, Trafalgar Square, etc. and quick
ly bedecked themselves with tiny flags,
buttons and badges. At intervals some
enthusiast starts singing God Save the
King which is taken up by the happy
throngs and Is heard for miles through the
neighboring streets from one end of the
metropolis to the other.
The earliest demonstrations on the stock
hour earlier than usual commenced with
the bidding of South African securities and
consols. On the official opening God Save
the King was sung by all present and a
te,eg am was despatched to Lord Kitchener
as follows:
The members of the London Stock Ex-
change join with the rest of the British
Empire in rejoicing at the happy end of
the heightened campaign Peace with
honor Is a fitting prelude to peaceful cor
onation celebration. Heartiest congratula-
tions to your lordship and the brave boys
with you"
The members of the Stock Exchange
then marched to the Mansion House and
serenaded the lord mayor, Sir Joseph c.
Dimsdale. and afterwards resumed bust
ness, but without much heart for work.
Joseph Chamberlain. colonial secretary,
came in for special attention. The police
were unable To hold the crowd in bounds,
and thousands surged around Mr.. Cham
berlain's carriage hurrahing and shouting
congratulations until he made his escape
within the building.
