ated the verb "to Maffick" Tonight there
was a tremendous noise in the streets, a
pandemonium of horns and cheers and the
coarse jests of costers. but the abandon
which marked the announcement of the re-
liefs of Mafeking and Ladysmith was
lacking.
Women, many Of them carrying babies,
boys, drunken loafers and others, glad of
any excuse to defy law and order, were the
principal elements in the ragged professions
passing and repassing through the principal
streets. The crowds concentrated in Regent
street and the Strand and let themselves
loose. Women OF the lower class jabbed
apology for confetti and in turn were
hugged and kissed by any man who found
time. for such diversion. A few helpless
policemen stood around and watched the
fun. One of the favorite decorations with
the crowd was a cluster of red, white and
blue stripes wound around tall hat
NOT ALL CONTENTED.
Very serious undercurrent of discomfort
probably is responsible for the fact that
London has not shown the same evidences
of rejoicing as were to be seen on Mafeklng
night. In some quarters the comment on
this peace with honor" ending of the war
was that Great Britain has the peace and
the Beers have all the honor. The Liberal
members Of the House Of Commons de-
clared freely tonight that peace in South
Africa might have been secured a year
earlier and upon better terms had not the
British government been so obdurate.
The decorations and illumina tions of Lon
don took on a more organized form as the
peace news grew older. The American and
the Irish flags figured largely among the
decorations, while the new ensign of the
Australian federation made its first ap-
pearance in a national celebration. The
words. God save the King" were very
generally inscribed across the union lacks
exhibited This was a sort of unconscious
tribute Of the national belief that peace
in South Africa was due more to King Ed
wards personal influence than TO any 9TH
cause.
A curious feature OF the nights street
scenes was that banners were carried in
several professions bearing the inscription.

Earl Roberts said: 1.-The country ought to

Queen Alexandra drove out from Bucking-

greeted with loud cheers.
NO JOY IN IRELAND.
There was no general celebration in Ire
land, but throughout England and Scotland
the joy was unconfined. During the day
the streets of London thronged with peo-
pie, who every now and then relieved their
overstrung nerves by an outburst of hoarse
cheering by braying penny trumpets

the happy throngs and was heard for miles
through the neighboring streets from one
end of the metropolis TO the other.
The earliest demonstrations on the Stock

hour earlier than usual. commenced with
the bidding up OF South African securities

proposition based on the independence Of
the republics. Subsequently President
Steyn, OF the Orange Free State, and Cen
erals Schalkburger and Botha declared that
the surrender of independence must be sub
mitted TO the Burghers in the field. The
British government expressed surprise at
this attitude, but announced its willingness
TO accept the Beers surrender on the same
terms that Lord Kitchener had previously
offered General Botha, and to give facili-
ties for a consultation of the Boer COM
mandS.
on MAY II General Schalkburger and Mr..
Steyn informed Lord Kitchener that the
Burghers assembled at Vereeniging had
empowered commission TO negotiate
peace terms, subject to ratification at We
reeniging. Lord Miner, Lord Kitchener
and the Boer commission met May Is. The
latter offered to surrender the independence
of the republics as regards foreign rela-
tions; to surrender part of their territory
and retain self-government under British
supervision. These proposals were forth
with rejected. The same day Lord Milner,
General Smuts and Judge Hertzog drew up
a form of agreement to be submitted to
the conference at Vereeninging for a yea
or vote.
This was very similar to the final agree
ment and with a few alterations was ap-
proved by Mr.. Chamberlain, who, in giving
notice Of his approval, told Lord Miner he
must inform the Beers that unless ii was
accepted within a fixed limit of time the
conference would be considered ended and
his majesty's government would not be
bound in any way by the present declara-
tions The Beers asked 10 be allowed until
Saturday night to give an answer, and the
result was seen In the termination of the

some other sign of rejoicing.
There was a general jubilation in St.
James Park. The large crowds which had
assembled there waited until a late hour
for a chance to cheer members of the royal
family bound for Buckingham Palace. AT
the height of the rejoicing a hearse passed
through Piccadilly, and even the under
takers assistants. who are known as
mutes, waived union jacks.
Throughout the evening the crowds ex-
hibited the utmost good humor. and while
some of the worst elements in London took
advantage of the opportunity to disgrace
themselves, the announcement of peace, on
the whole, was received with merely mild
demonstrations" This was somewhat
atoned for by the uproarious scenes in the
fashionable restaurants.
KING NARROWLY ESCAPES.
King Edward narrowly escaped what
might have been a serious accident this
morning His Majesty was driving to st.
James Palace when a cab collided with
his carriage. The cab horse fell and lay
struggling under the royal vehicle. The
King alighted and stood upon the pave
ment until matters were righted.
The King and Queen Alexandra. with
Princess Victoria and Prince and Princess
Charles of Denmark. attended the produc-
ton of Wagner's "Valkyrie" at Covent
Garden tonight. Their Majesties received
an ovation from the audience and when
they entered the opera house the orches-
ira played God Save the King"
Special patriotic peace programmes were
provided at all the leading music halls and
at these places the enthusiastic specta-
tors demanded that the orchestra play
"God Save the King after almost every
turn on the stage. That London's hilarity
was not entirely confined to the lower
classes of the city is shown by the fact
that Lord Landsdowne, the foreign secre-
tary. who is probably of the most
sedate members of the cabinet, had secured
a box at the Alhambra music hall. AS the
foreign secretary with his wife and a
party of friends entered his box, he was
cheered by the people present. Several
members of the House of Commons who
were in the stalls and number of society
men present, cheered for the popular gen.
erals and joined Justify in singing patriotic
choruses. At the Alhamhra the display of
a union jack riddled with bullets and
other such incidents gave occasion for

Long before the customary prayer. the
galleries of the House were packed. Joseph
II. Choate. the United States ambassador;
Henry White. the secretary of the en-
bassy; Lord Rothschild. and many mem
bers OF the Cabinet patiently waited
through the answering of questions in the
House for the momentous announcement.
An unusually large number of peers sat
in the gallery. and behind the ladies' grill
aristocratic women were closely packed.
Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Balfour both
received a great ovation as they walked to
their seats. The Hobbies and waiting rooms
were crowded with disappointed seekers for
seats. among whom were many Americans

LONDON, June 2.-The Prince of Wales
and the Duke of Cambridge went to the
House of Lords to hear the peace state

There was large attendance of peers and
peeresses. Lord Salisbury, before men

loss which the empire had sustained in

promising indications of the time
Lord Tweedmouth, Liberal and Lord
Rosebery associated themselves with the
premier's tribute. Lord Salisbury then
remarking that he hoped that the agreed-on
terms of surrender would bring the lament
