an inglorious but honorable peace.
News came of the signing of the terms
of Boer surrender yesterday afternoon,
The authorities wisely decided not TO
wait for Mr.. Balfour's promised an

saying that they accept and are pre-
pared to sign"
An unofficial dispatch says the Brit
ish authorities have issued a procla-
nation terminating a number of civil
proclamations of the Boer government

london. June 2.-The demand for ac
commodations in the house OF common
this afternoon to hear the statement
Government Leader Baifour was un
precedented. BaIfour announced th
terms of peace in South Africa as FOL
lows:
Burgher forces lay down their
arms and hand over all their rifles,
guns and ammunition in their pos
session or under their control.
All prisoners are to be brought
back as soon as possible to South
Africa, without loss of liberty or
property.
Mo action to be taken against
prisoners, except where they are
guilty of breaches of the rules of
war.
Dutch is to be taught in the
schools, if desired by parents, and
used in courts, if necessary.
Rifles are allowed for protection.
Military occupation to be with
drawn as soon as possible and self.
government is substituted.
There is to be no tax on the
TransvaaI to pay the cost of the
war.
The sum Of three million sterling
4 Is to be provided for restocking
Beors' farms.
Rebels are liable to trial, accord
ina to the law of the colony to
which they belong. The rank and
file will be disfranchised for life.
The death penalty will not be in
fiicted.
The terms which the Beers have ac-
cepted are on the whole less liberal
and their future rights and privileges
are more strictly curtailed than in the
offers of which they might have aVailec
themselves earlier in the war. This viii
occasion surprise here and elsewhere
The explanation is that the Beers have
struggled thruout the negotiations not
for their own interests, but for those OF
their allies from the Cape Colony, VINO
in their character of rebels are iiaDle te
grievous penalties. Thus has the Boel
nation perished in last act of chiVai-
ry.
1t is a further surprise that the Beers
have preserved unanimity even in theii
final submission. All the recognized
leaders have joined in the surrender
Mr.. Steyn, president of the Orange
Free State, is the only prominent rep
resentatiye who has not signed the
capitulation, and his signature is alb
sent simply because he is prostrated
with paralysis and unable to hold a
pen.
AS for the rank and file, the Chief
commanders have assured Gen. kitch
ener that, while there are some indlvid-
uaIs irreccncilable, the vast majority
will submit. Those who still refuse to
bend the knee to Great Britain Will
probably join the Cape Colony rebels.
The sedition in that colony is greater
now than at any earlier period of the
war. and 1t by no means follows that
the rebellion there will end With the
Roer surrender. In fact, this situation
has been for some time a matter OF
graver concern to the government anu
the military authorities than the war
within the republics. In regard to the
latter there is a distinct feeling of dis
in British military circles,
where the belief is expressed that Gen.
kitchener had just completed plans for
a brilliant series of movements which
would have speedily overwhelmed the
Boer resistance.

London June with the exception
United Kingdom is holiday making to-
day. in honor of the conclusion of peace
in South Africa. The streets every
where are thronged with people, who,
every now and then, relieve their over
strung nerves by burst of hoarse
cheering or by braying Of penny trum-
pets. The tone of King Edwards mes
sage to the people and the absence
therein of any note of exultation, seems,
however, to have set good example
and while giving free vent to their own
satisfaction, the British are showing
small desire to crow over their late en-
emies. Flags of bunting are every
where displayed, church bells are ring
ing and salutes are being fired. There
is general jubilation on all sides
Crowds of suburbanites poured into
London at an early hour and converged
towards the usual centers the Mansion
House, Royal Exchange, Trafalgar
Square, etc, and quickly bedecked
themselves with tiny flags, buttons and
starts singing God Save the King"
which is taken up by the happy throng
and is heard for miles, thru the neigh
borhood streets from one end of the
metropolis to the other. The earliest
demonstrations on the stock exchange,
where the members arrived am hour
earlier than usual commenced with the
bidding up of South African securities
and consols. On the official opening,
God Save the King was sung by all
present, and a telegram of congra tula-
1ions was dispatched to Kitchener.
Members of the exchange marched
to the mansion house and serenaded the
lord mayor and afterwards resumed
business.
Later in the day the levee at st.
James palace and the cabinet meeting
attracted the crowds. Thousands of
people awaited the arrival of the cab
met ministers and the scenes which
greeted the popular faVorites have not
been equaled in many years. Many
ministers wore court dress, on account
of having to be present at the levee,
which added to the attractiveness of
the occasion. 1t is almost needless 1t
add that Joseph Chamberlain came in
for special attention from the masses
The police We're unable to hold them
in bounds and the crowds surged
around Chamberlains carriage, hurrah-
ing and shouting congratulations until
the colonial secretary escaped within
the building. On adjournment of the
cabinet meeting the crowds repaired to

ace, and further relieved their feel
ings by cheering the king and other no
liabilities who attended the levee at

CHICAGO Distributing Stations All Filled
Save the Fulton Market.

Save the Fulton Market.
Chicago. June 2.-Under the cover OF
Sunday quiet the packers scored heaV-
i ily Yesterday on the striking teamsters,
and succeeded in filling all their dls-
tributing stations about town eXcept
those in the Fulton market.
The move by the packers came unex-
pectedly. All was done quickly ana
quietly. The carloads of meat which
have been standing on sidetracks were
sent to the stations and unloadsd, Ice
was brought from the yards in cars,
and by evening all was ready for to-.
days business. The coup of the pack
ers brings the strike to an acute issue.
JTp to the present time the strikers
have been informing all who dared to
get their meat from these companies
that if such course should be contin-
red their ice supply would be cut off.
With some of the distributing stations
closed and others with an adequate
supply of meat the butchers have been
unwilling to take the risk and have let
their meat reserve run low. The pack
ers claim this situation has been
changed and that all the butchers in
need of meat will come and get it.
lee and coal drivers seem to hold the
key to the situation, and to them the
teamsters are turning for assistance.
None of the butchers have been CONF
pletely cut off from ice, but an attempt
to bring this about will come today, and
with it will be tested the real strength
Of the strikers. Should the ice and coal
rne>>> fail, sympathetic strikes may be
called.
Success having attended the efforts
of Franklin MacVeagh, president of the
National Civic Federation. in his inter-
cession with the Union Traction Com
pany on behalf of the street car en-
ployes, the differences Of the striking
stock yards teamsters are to be taken
up in the same fashion.
At meeting of the Federation of La
Dor last night it was decided that an
appeal should be made to James H.
Eckels, president of the Commercial
National Bank, to take up the teaal-
sters cause with the packers. Mr.. Eek
els is member of the industrial COM
mittee of the National Civic Federation.
The appeal will be made today.
The strikers succeeded yesterday in
getting more than 125 recruits to their
ranks. The new members of the union
came from the branch houses of the
four big packing houses.
