PEACE.

The war between Great Britain and
the two republics 10 South Africa-the
Transvssl and the Orange Free Slate
hes ended In the triumph OF British
arms. For over two years and half
the Beers made splendid fight against
one of the greatest powers 10 the world:
Throughout the long and unequaled
struggle the strategic ability oil their
generals and the bravery and endur-
auce of the Boer soldiers have excited
the admiration of the world.
According to dispatch from Gener-
al Lord KiHhener, commander OF the
British forces, to the British war
Office, received il London yesterday
aft srnoon, q document containing the
tsrms OF surrender was signed at 1880
O'Clock Saturday night at Pretoria by
all the Boer represer titives and Lord
Miner, the British high commissioner,
and General Kitchener.
The terms OF peace were not sn-
nounced. 1t is expected thst they Will
be announced in Parliament ais after
noon.
Extraordinary rejoicing in London
followed the receipt OF the news. The
delrium OF the people was like that
following the relief of Mafeking. In
menee crowds 10 the streets sang,
shouted and waved fl igs.
The church bella were ruug TO ac'
claim the good news. A crowd gath
cred at the Mansion House. and the
Lord Mayor OF London, Sir Joseph G.
Dimsdale, announced from the balcony
that terms of surrender had been
signed In South Africa. The peace
news was announced in t1e churches
and by some OF the congregations 1t
was received with applause. 10 ell the
churches OF London prayers OF thanks
giving were offered. and special hymns
we're sung. The news from Pretoria
was promtly wired all over Eogland
and 10 Liverpool and ether cities there
was a jubilee spirit msni' sted like
that In London Sunday nighl.
No details OF the terms OF the Boer
submission have been published. The
bare announcement OF the surrender OF
ell the forces OF the former republics Is
ell that Is vouchssted. Ole Pretoria
correspondent is enabled II cay this In
addition:
1.-THE terms which the Beers have
accepted are, on the whole, less liberal
aud their future rights and privileges
are more strictly coItAiled, than 10 the
offers OF which they might bave availed
themselves earlier 10 the war. This
will occasion surprise here and else
where.
"The explaDston is that the Beers
have struggled throughout the nego-
tiatious, not for their own Interests,
but for those OF their allies from the
Cape Colony who, 10 their character OF
rebels, are liable t D, Rrievous penalties"
The war has lasted two years, seven
NOR tbs and twenty days, having begun
October IL, 1899. The cost to the
British included 81 $50 lives lost, &C.
oordiDg to official reports up ID April /,
1902-the lststt official figures. Since
tuat time there has been II tie fighting
and the figures have not been greatly
changed. The wounded and prisoners
bring The total up to about 5000.
The estimated fosncisl co OF the war
to Great Britain is 81 900, 900 900.

THE democrats have decided to make their
hEht for control of the House of represents.
tives upon three issues-the Philippine, the
trusts aud the tariff. The Kansas City plat
form Is to b, igr ored. The trust question,
they rishtfully declare, is Of paramount Inn
portaucs. The beef trust aol the coal trus
they assert, have demonstrated Just how te-
rious menace to the we fire of the country
these COM nations have become, end they
also declare that no remedy so mild as the ex-
listing antitrust law will have the effort Of
reducing their power for evil. The tariff rs
= means Of creating trusts will BE- taken up as
kindred subject and a general tariff revis-
ion vii be advocated from one end Of the
country to the ether. The democratic lead
ers naturally believe that the voters demand
legislation to suppress the trusts and gen.
eral reduction OF tariff duties. The conclu
sion has been reached that an eastern man
must be nominated for the Presidency in
1904. and il Mr.. German is pu. at the head
OF the ticket the democrats will sweep the
county.

paid tribute to Mr.. Spooner, to Mr.

said he did not believe the democratic

lican party would work out the prob

shown that their present policy was
wrong. He could not be expet ted to

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 2 1902.

THE LONG, bloody and tedious war
between the British and Beers 10 South
Africa bss at length been brought ID o
close and with it the funeral OF the In
FAINT republics Of that far-awsy lard.
ended ss might have been expected ID
tse fioal victory for the British and the
obllteratiou from the map OF the Trans
vaal Republic and the Orange Free
State. General Kitchener is the man
of the hour, and while this Ia being
read London is wild WITH delight, men
and women surgiDg through the nor
row streets exultsnt over the fact that
a great and presumably powerful nation
(.pd In its own estimation invinciole|
after nearly three years has subdued
two email countries and deprived them
OF their liberty. 1t was costly VIC
torv. and England will be many years
recupersting from the fl -tt' OF the war
which has nearly drsioed its treasury
and rendered it Ms cessery to tax nearly
everything 10 the Kingdom. During
the progress OF the war 1920 officers
have been killed or died from one csuse
or another; 3S4 officers are missing aud
prisoners; 2 979 officers have been rem
dered iuvalids; 20,031 men have lSid
down tier lives; 9,l81 are missing or
prisoners, and IS 81 have been sent
home ss invalids. The British have
taken about 81 600 Boer prisoners, and
OF killed and wounded on that side
there are no reliable sts tstics. Nor are
there any statictics as to the money
sper BY the Boer republics. The cost
of the war to the British up to April
last was over 1926 900 900. England
has bad about $50, 900 men In the field
The Boer force at the start was esti'
mstsd at so, 900. and OF course has been
decreasing steadily. They held out
long time against greet odds and have
done nothing of which they are
ashamed.
