London, June 26.-Though he is by
no means out of danger. King Edward
has made a decided Improvement. and
the feeling at Buckingham Peiace IS
very hopeful. HIS Majesty is able to

physicians issued the following bulle-
tin

little If his comfort and is more cheer

1t can be said that the Kings CON
dItion is even more satisfactory than
the bulletin would indicate. The bull
letin is generally taken as being the
first occasion upon which the Kings
doc ors have allowed, them TO ex-
press even TO a small degree. the
hopeful feelings they undoubtedly.
even though privately, entertain.
T~hirtv-six hours have now elapsed
since the operation was performed.
and. as nc combinations have appear.
ed, this fact reate hopefulness in all
quarters, although. as the King s
physicians frequently say. several
days must pass before the possibility
of danger can be- eliminated.
There is eyerv indication that the
King is better off than "a hours ago.

London, June 25.-The effect upon
London's rejoicing millions of the an
nouncement that the King was crltl-
callv i'll and that the coronation must
be postponed was almost Daralyziug-
The sorrowful news seemed to pene-

The people were almost utterly I'M
prepared. Or Saturday and Sunday

BEN. KlTCHENER'S OFFICIAL DISPATCH.
The Sunday Evening Calm of London Broken by Enthusiastic Demonstrations of Joy Over the Peace News Thanks giving Offered and Special Hymns Sung Iu the Churches.

London, June 1.-An official cable gram from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Saturday, May 31, 11:15 p. m., says:
 'A document containing terms of surrender was signed here this even ing at half-past ten o'clock by all the Boer representatives, as well as by Lord Milner (the British high com missioner in South Africa) and my gelf''
 The news of peace in South Africa contained in the foregoing dispatch from Lord Kitchener, was not eX- pected in London to-day. Soon after the receipt of the dispatch, however, the news spread to the clubs and ho- Hels, and was received with much en- Nhusiasm. The church bells were rung to acclaim the good news. A crowd gathered at the Mansion house, and the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, announced from the balcony that terms of sur render had ben signed in South Af- rica.
 Lord Kitcheners definite announce ment of peace Was received at the war office at one o'clock in the after moon, and was communicated to King Edward and all the members of the cabinet before it was given to the public.
 Tonight the Sunday evening calm of London streets was broken by en- thusiastic singing, shouting and horn blowing. The hotels, the clubs, the public houses and the streets were mot the only places where the people were actively demonstrating their joy. The peace news was announced in the churches to-day, and by some congregations it was received with applause. In all the churches of Lon- don prayers of thanksgiving were of tered and special hymns were sung.

Cat Case in Supreme Court.

The famous controversy growing out of the ownership of Sioux Falls cat has now reache ed the state supreme court, and bids fair to attract more attention than the celebrated Iowa calf case. Some months ago the Fin stad and Lewis families, who were neighbors quarreled over the cat, which belonged to Miss Ida Finstad. It appears that the animal fell into the habit of going to the home of Mrs. Lewis. One day Miss Finstad went to the home of Mrs. Lewis to get the cat. Mrs. Lewis, it was alleged, not only re- fused to surrender the animal. but slapped Miss Finstad. The arrest of Mrs. Lewis followed upon the charge of assault, and she was found guilty. Then she had Miss Finstad arrested for the alleged theft of the cat. Miss Finstad's trial resulted in her acquit- tai. States Attorney Scott prosecuted the case against Miss Finstad. He has just procured a writ of error from the state supreme court. and at the Octo- Der term the cat case will be solemnly reviewed by the members of that court. St. Paul Pioneer Press.

A Kings Staie Barge.

London will entertain many distin- guished foreigners at the coronation in June, but King Lewanika, the para mount chief of Barotseland, will sure ly be the strangest of them all. He is described as being an enlightened po- tentate, with quite English ideas" ]" One of his ideas hardly seems so Eng fish as it might be. He has a great state barge which is rowed by 80 row. CTS, all men of rank. The prime min ister himself has to ply the oar as one of the so. This is, no doubt, most Eng fish and athletic, but the costume of these noble bargees is not yet adopted on the Thames. The unfortunate prime minister has to divest himself of his European clothes and take his place with 70 others clad like himself with tiger skins round their loins and lions manes on their heads. The barge in which these statesmen row is decor ated with stuffed figures of elephants and giraffes, made by King Lewanika himself of calico and cane.-Chicago Daily News.

JOY AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY.
Satisfaction Felt at the Close of the
 Long Struggle.

Washington, June 2.-The officials of the British embassy here share the jubilant feeling existing in London over the termination of the war in South Africa. They view with much satisfaction the close of the long struggle.
 Official notice of the signing of the terms of surrender came to Mr. Rail1es, the British charge here, in eabiegram from the foreign office. It was very brief and was in accord with the statements contained in the press dispatches. It probably will be communicated formally to the United States government to-day.
 Nothing official has reached the de- partment on the subject from AmbaS- sador Choate, at London, or from any other source. President Roosevelt wa$ Furnished copy of the press dispatch giving the news of the signing of the surrender terms.
 The impression prevails in official circles that the terms of surrender named by the British in their nego- 4iations with the Boers have been very liberal in character, perhaps from the double desire to bring the war to a close and to have this happy event formally proclaimed before the coronation of King Edward in June.
 From a commercial point of view she cessation of hostilities will re- suit beneficially to American exports 50 South Africa, the reports issued 5rom time to time by the foreign commerce bureau of the state de- 2artment showing that they have suffered considerably since the be- glnning of the war two years ago.
 With Demonstrations of Joy.
 Ottawa, Ont, June 2.-The peace news from South Africa was greeted Mere by demonstrations of joy. The bell in the city hall was rung for Sen minutes.
 The mayor has arranged for a dem- snstration to-day to celebrate the @nding of the war. Flags will be Aoisted on public and private build lAgs, royal salute will be fired at Hoon, and the school children will be given half holiday. At night there will be a display of fireworks and o military parade.
