 Favor.

Pretoria, May 29.-Lord Milner. the British high commissioner, left Preto- ria for Johannesburg this morning The Boer delegates have also left the city and have returned to Vereeniging the scene of the peace conference be- tween the Boer delegations. The ques- ton of the retention of the arms has been settled in a manner favorable to the Boers, whose contention that the occupants of outlying farms would be exposed to danger from attacks on the part of the natives or wild beasts was held to be well grounded.
 The camp at Vereeniging, Transvaal, where the final decision ih regard to peace will he reached, has been elab- nrately prepared by the British author ities with view to the comfort and convenience of the delegates to the con- vention now being held there.

NOW CONFIDENT OF PEACE
BALFOUR'S STITEMENT TAKEN
 AS ASSURING IT.
The Governments Postponement of Announcement Until Monday Accepf- ed Simply ss Precautionary Measure Some of she Newspapers Already In- duIging In Peace PIans-TVO Points Which Protracted the Negotiations.


 Which Protracted the Negotiations.
 London, May 30.-The morning papers are unanimous in accepting the state nent of the government leader, A. J. Balfour. in the House of Commons, as having but one meaning. namely, peace, But the papers believe that it's long eX- perience with the astute Boer charac- ter compels the government to the un- usual precaution of announcing noth- ing until the terms of peace are actu- ally signed, lest another surprise should be forthcoming at the very last mo- ment
 For reasons similar to the foregoing the censorship in South Africa has been seriously devoted to preventing the terms of peace from leaking out
 The delegates who left Pretoria at 9 o'clock Wednesday night include Act Ing President Schalk- Burger, of the Transvaal, General Lucas Meyer, com- IfldIlubI-1u-Gllltl OL tle oIdDSt T lCc State forces; General Botha the Trans vaal commander-in-c Generals De- 1arey and De Wet, State Secretary Reitz of the Transvaal, General Shuts, Commandant Beyers and Landrost Brand. They are, therefore, represent ative of all parties It is presumed that these delegates have fully accepted the British terms, but in Pretoria it is be- 1ieved that they will have some diff culty in bringing the Vereeniging con- ference entirely to their way of think ing, which is likely to delay a decision in the matter until Monday. No doubt is entertained, either in South Africa or in London, as to what that decision will be, and some newspapers here are already indulging in a discussion of peace plans.
 It is understood that two points which greatly protracted the recent ne- gotiations were the questions of am nesty and banishment, and that in re- gard to the former Great Britain prom 1sed generous treatment, but steadfast- y iSi"0NN e'iiS Hiii"9'iii'SH s ue'i e't NCSf7 in this connection. It is understood also that the banishment proclamation will only be waived on condition of talk ing the oath of allegiance.
 Whether there are still other minor points of difference between Briton and Boer cannot be said, but it is quite cer- tain that all are agreed upon the broad principles of settlement.
 Dr. Jameson has expressed himself as confident that peace is assured and that the Boers will not again take the field
 London, May 30.-A despatch from Pretoria, published this morning in the Times, says that unless the Boers sud denly Veer around. there is good reason to hope they will soon give notification of their acceptance of the British terms.

BERLIN, May 2.-AmericaH energy is
making itself felt In China more and more
powerful, said Count Won Waldersee in an
Interview at Dresden, where he is visiting
the king Of Saxony. The count was COM
mander-in-chie of the allied forces in
China.
Continuing, he said:
w have come into closer political touch
with the United States and that country
will exercise a favorable influence in the
worlds politics."
The English-Japanese alliance is of pre-
eminent Significance" said he. ut re-
veals the seriousness of the world situation.
In Japan, which / visited after leaving
China, a collision with Russia is regarded
as unavoidable. The Japanese troops which
l saw are excellently trained.
Several of the Russian positions In east
Asia seem still to be exposed, but this will
not be for long, because Russia is making
the best use of her time. Her position at
sea is daily growing stronger and great in
terests are at stake in China.
From all sides-Burma, from Tonquin
and other places. energy Is being directed
toward the Yang Use valley. which, be-
cause OF its position and wealth. is the most
important part Of China"

TWO SENIORS ARE EXPELLED
DiSobey Orders of Principal and Hoist Glass
oOlors on Flag Pole,
sCRlMMAGE BETWEEN STUDENTS ENsUEs
Parents and Friends Of the Two stu
dents Expelled Inclined to Think
the Punishment Too Severe
for the Omense.

There ia trouble brewing at the High
school again and as the result of the ex-
pulsion of two OF its MEMBERS Thursday
by Principal Ensign the senior class is said
to be seriously thinking OF walking out
unless the two seniors are reinstated.
Floyd Fllckinger and E. f. Spetman sue
ceeded at the noon recess Thursday In
hosting the banner Of the senior class to
the top Of the fagpole on the High school
building and for this Principal Ensign ex-
PEELED them. Following the holsting Of
the flag a fight ensued in the corridors Of
the building between the senior and Junior
classes, but Flickinger and spetman were
not mixed up In 1t. Parents OF the expelled
pupils feel that Principal Ensign was too
hasty and severe in his action and sew
eral members Of the Board Of Education
are of the same opinion. 1t is expected
that a meeting OF the board will be held
to take some action in the matter.
Flickinger and Spetman at the noon re-
cess Thursday climbed the stairs to the
attic Of the High school with the intention
Of flying their class banner from the flag
pole. At the door leading to the roof they
found the ~janitor, who had received SOM
inkling Of their Intention. He tried to
stop them, but the young fellows pushed
him aside and gained the roof. The work
OF hosting the flag to the pole occupied
but a few minutes. In the meantime the
~janitor had summoned Principal Ensign
and he was waiting for the young fellows
when they reached the bottom OF the stairs.
The ~janitor hauled the flag down. but Spet-
man and Flickinger took 1t away from
him.
Principal Ensign ordered Flickinger and
Spetman to go to their classroom. which
order they obeyed, and die not take part
in the fight which ensued between the
seniors and juniors in the corridors. After
the disturbance had been quelled Principal
Ensign called Spetman and Flickinger into
his ONCE and notified them of their expul-
sion.
Since the appointment Of Mr.. Ensign as
principal there has been more or less trou-
BILE at the High school. Last summer there
was a series Of disturbances and on one
or two occasions Mr.. Ensign found 1t nec>
essary to call upon the police to assist
In keeping order. At the last meeting OF
the Board Of Education Principal Ensign
was reelected for another year, although
at least two OF the members were opposed
to continuing him In charge OF the school,
but finally acquiesced in his r%eappoint-
ment on the recommendation OF Superin-
tendent Clifford. One Of the members OF
the board said yesterday afternoon that 1t
would not surprise him II some change
might not be made in the management OF
the High school before the opening Of the
next school year.
