The king took the occasion | to express his sentiments cn the sub 1 ject more fully than heretofore and the tactful recognition which he made of the sterling qualities of the Boers will doubtless materially aid in the work of
 appeasement in South Africa.
 His majesty, surrounded by the household, received the city dignitarieS in the throne room and replying to the lord mayors address said:
 ssI thank you in my own name and in the queens for your loyal and dutlful address and the congratulatlon you tender US at the close of the war Ill South Africa. l heartily join ln yonr expression of thankfulness to the Almighty God for the termination of the struggle which, while it entalled on my people at home and beyond the sea so many sacrifices, borne with ad- mirable fortitude has secured result which will give increased unity anr strength to my empire. The cordial 1i n l of my dominions as well as in your ancient and loyal city have done much to bring about this happy result.
 ssYou give fitting expression to the admiration universally felt for the yalor and endurance of the officers and men who have been engaged i'll fighting their countrys battles. They have been opposed by a brave and de- termined people and had to encounter
 unexampled difficulties. These Giffi- culties were cheerfully overcome by steady and persistent effort and those who were our opponents will now, l rejoice to think become our friends. It is my earnest hope that by mutual cooperation and good will the bitter feelings of the past may speedily be replaced by ties of loyalty and friend ship and that an era of peace and prosperity may be ill store for South Africa

The readiness with which my subjects throughout the empire have borne their part in the arduous cam paign now happily at an end cannot fail to draw them still more closely to-, gether in bonds of loyalty and affec- tion, and I confidently believe that the good feeling which is being displayed by those who were so recently our op- ponents augurs we'll for the future of that vast country which has been add ed to the dominions of the crown
