TERMS OF PEACE SIGNED BY
BURGHER DELEGATES.
Kitchener Announces From Pretoria the Ter.
mination Of the Long Struggle in South
Africa - News Is Received With Intense
Enthusiasm In Great Britain and Her
Colonies.

London. May 2.-Peace has been de-
clared in South Africa, after nearly two
years and eight months of war which
tried the British empire to its utter
most, and wiped the Beers from the list
of nations.
The war has come to an end with
Lord Kitchener announcement from
Pretoria that he, Lord Miner and the
Boer delegates had signed terms OF
surrender" This announcement has
been anticipated for several days, but
its receipt Sunday afternoon took the
nation by surprise, as everybody hac
confidently believed that the house OF
commons would hear the first news to-
day. The edge of the anticipation with
which Great Britain awaited the
promised statement in the house OF
commons from Mr.. Balfour, the govern.
ment leader, was still further dulled by
message from King Edward to his
people, which was issued after mid
night. The message is as follows:
"The king has received the welcome
news of the cessation of hOstilities in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction
and his majesty trusts that peace may
speedily be followed by the restoration
of prosperity in his new domains, and
that the feelings necessarily engendered
by war will give place to earnest CO.
operation on the part of his majesty
South African subjects in promoting the
welfare of their common country"
How greatly King Edwards insist
ence that peace in South Africa be Sc
cured prior to his Inauguration in
fuenced the present agreement will
probably not be known until the
private memoirs of the present regime
are given to the public.
According to dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Utrecht, Holland, Mr..
Kruger was informed shortly after 8
o'clock last night that peace had been
declared. He had been asleep, "My
God" he said, sit is impossible.
Mr.. Kruger and his encourage, the
dispatch continues, hope to be permit
ted to return to the Transvaal.
Cabling from Pretoria, the cores
pendent of the Daily Mail, after an
nouncing the signing of the terms OF
surrender, says the British authorities
absolutely rejected the suggestion that
the terms of surrender should be rati-
fled by Mr.. Kruger, and declared that
the Beers in Europe had>n hand in
the settlement. "rhe terms will
show" continues the correspondent,
"that the British government carried
its contentious on every vital point,
while the minor concessions, particu-
larly those in regard to the generous
financial treatment, will appeal greatly
to the Beers in general The value OF
Lord Kitchener's personality as factor
in the conclusion of peace can never be
over estimated. There is no doubt that
peace will be popular among the
Beers"
The news of the ending of the war
caused intense joy all over the British
empire, and celebrations are being held
in most of the large cities.

Congressman Harry Delaware Flood,
of AppomattoX, was yesterday nominated
for a second term in the House of Rep
resentatives from the Fourth District.
The action, which makes him the can
didates of his party for reelection, was
taken in this city by the Tenth District
Committee, which body held a meeting
in the office of Chairman Joseph But
ton at the Capitol.
Colonel Button presided and Hon. B.
proxy for Mr.. William A. Reinhart, Of
Allegheny, while Colonel Robert Catlett
represented Mr.. Frank T. Glasgow, of
Rockbridge. The action of the commit
tee was unanimous, the time for entries
having passed and no other candidates
having flied their names. This obviates
the necessity for holding the primary
which was fixed for July 9Th, and the
certificate of nomination was awarded
Mr.. Flood by Chairman Button.
Judge W. Il. Rhea. of Bristol, spent
yesterday in Richmond. He. too, is for
tunate in not having opposition and will
be named by the Ninth District Commit
tee to succeed himself. The same is
true of the situation IN the First Fifth
and Eighth. and it is not believed that
Mr.. Hay will have any opposition in the
Seventh. In the Second District entries
close on June 10th. So far Messrs. Law
less and Maynard are the avowed candi-
dates, with chances in favor of DR.. J.
F. Bryant entering the race.
