water being two feet deep over the
railroad tracks. Severe wash-outs
have occurred on the electric line

Scores of people were driven from
their homes by the floods. Facto-

TERMS ARE LIBERAL
British Have the Peace and Beers
Have the Honor.
TransvaaI VIII Not Be Taxed to Pay 10 T
War and Dutch VIII BE Taught In
Burgher Schools, If the
Parents Desire.

London, June 3.-Not in years has
the house of commons been so
thronged with such a brilliant and
enthusiastic audience as when the
first lord of the treasury and govern.
ment leader in the house, A. j. Bal
four, announced yesterday afternoon
the peace terms concluded with the
Beers. The reference to the Beers
acknowledging King Edward as their
sovereign made the hit of the day.
AS the liberality of the terms grew
palmer the cheers on the government
side of the house diminished, while
the opposition's satisfaction was pro-
portionately increased.
Through all this the Irish members
sat impressive, though earlier in the
afternoon they had startled the
house by demonstration which at
first was thought to be in honor of
peace, but which, it was soon dis
covered, was caused by the reappear-
ance in the house of William Red
mond, who has just returned from
the United States.
Various objections to the peace
terms were expressed, but they did
not appear to be very serious. The
Irish view point was that the gov
eminent has given up practically
everything and that the regulations
affecting the Cape rebels viii be done
away with in consequence of the
kings amnesty proclamation.
The terms of peace are as follows:
The burgher forces lay down their
arms and hand over all their rifles,
guns and munitions of war in their
possession or under their control
All prisoners are to be brought
back as soon as possible to South
Africa, without loss of liberty or
property.
Dutch is to be taught in the
schools, if desired by the parents,
and used in the courts, if necessary.
No action to be taken against pris-
oners except where they are guilty
of breaches of the rules of war.
Rifles are allowed for protection.
Military occupation is to be with
drawn as soon as possible and self
government substituted.
There is to be no tax on. the Trans
vaal to pay the cost of the war.
The sum of =e3,OOO,OOO sterling is to
be provided for restoclsing the Beers
farms.
Rebels are liable to trial, according
to the law of the colony to which
they belong. The rank and file will
be disfr&nchiscd for life. The Dutch
penalty will not be inflicted.

PHILIPPINR BILL PASSED.
Two Republicans Voted Against and One
Democrat for the Measure Providing
for Civil Government

Washington, June shortly after
FIVE o'clock yesterday afternoon the
senate passed the Lodge Philippine
government bill by vote of As to
80. Three republicans = Senators
Hoar, of Massachusetts; Mason, of
Illinois, and Wellington of Mary
Iand-voted against the measure,
and one democrat-Senator Nc
Laurin, of South Carolina-voted for
it. All amendments offered by the
minority were rejected.
The debate on the measure has
been in progress seven weeks and
two days. Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the Philippine
committee, who has been unremit-
ting in his advocacy of the measure,
was the recipient of many cordial
congratulations on his successful
conduct of the bill.
Just at the close of the discussion
yesterday a sharp exchange occurred
between Senator Dietrich, of Ne
braska, and Senator Patterson, of
Colorado. in the course of which the
former reflected caustically upon the
Colorado senator. He was called to
order, his remarks were read and he
was declared to have been out of or
der in uttering them. He withdrew
his statement, thus ending the con-
troversy.

Chicago, June 5.--Driven by men
covered with dust and blood, many
of them barely able from exhaustion
to hold the reins in their hands, So
meat wagons entered the main gate
of the Union stock yards last night,
amid a shower of tones, bricks, bot
ties and sticks. The wagons, guard
ed by five police wagons, filed with
bluecoats, and two omnibuses crowd
ed to the fullest capacity with po-
licemen, were on the return from
delivery of supplies to downtown
provision houses, after one of the
fiercest days in the strike of the
beef packers transfers. Many of
the drivers, officials at the packing
houses, were cut and bruised from
head to foot. The police were in
even worse condition.

ROOSEVELT IS ANXIOUS
He Is holding Conferences with Senator'S
and Urging Necessity of Pushing to
Passage Certain Bills.

Washington, June 3.-Senators
Proctor, Nelson, Gamble and Kit
tredge called at the white house
Monday on invitation and had a con-
ference with the president in regard
to pending legislation. The subjects
discussed were the Cuban reciprocity
bill and the prospects for canal leg
islation at this session. The object
of the conference was to urge upon
the senators the necessity for una
nimity of action and the real necessi-
ty for legislation on these subjects at
this session.
One result of the conferences that
have been held at the white house
was meeting in the committee room
of Senator Elkins, where those sena-
tors who are opposed to granting
concessions to Cuba, or who oppose
the straight reduction plan of the
majority, assembled to consider diff
ferent propositions. These are for
fat appropriation to the Cuban
treasury, or a rebate on duties col
lected on Cuban imports to be paid
into the Cuban treasury. Eighteen
republican senators attended the
conference of those representing the
beet sugar interests. The general
sentiment was in favor of defeating
any proposition for Cuban reciprocity
but in order to secure harmony an
agreement was made that they
would support q rebate plan, the
money to be paid to the Cuban gov
ernment
