I Peace at Last. London, June 2.? All England rings today with the joyful tidings that the Boer war is over. Flags float in the breeze from every side ; and the streets of London are jam- j med with a constantly cheering mass i of humanity that makes "Mafeking" j dav of two years ago mild in com- 1 j r> parison. In every mouth is the name of Kitchener, who has succeeded in ; bringing peace out of the muddled j j:l: A COUUiUULia 1U uuutu aiuua. i Above all comes the Dews that 1 peace so dearly bought may mean j the downfall of the Chamberlain j party and the uprising of the Liberal j star after three years of warfare | which has "staggered humanity,'' in | the words of ex President Kroger. The first news that the Boers had j signed the "terms of surrender" be- j came public late yesterday, when the ; following bulletin was placed outside the war office: "Pretoria, Saturday, 11:15 p. m ? The document containing the peace term9 of surrender was signed here this evening at 10:30 by all the Boer rep'esentatives, as well as the British high commissioner of South Africa, Lord Milner and myself. Kitchener." The king knew of the surrender at noou and withheld the information until the cabinet decided whether to announce the fact Sunday or leave it for Balfour in the house of commons today. Soon after Kitchener's message was posted the war cffice issued the following manifesto to the public: "Toe Hog received the welcome news of t je cessatioo of hoRtilirips in South Africa with infinite 6utisfaclio3, and trusts that peace may speedily be followed by a restoration of prosperity in his new dominions, and that the feeliDgs mcssarily engenderel by the war will give place to earnest j co-cperation by all his majesty's South African subjects thus promoting the welfare of their common country." London, June 2 ?The terms of peace in South Africa were announced in the house of commons today by Mr. Balfour as fellows: The Boers ^orma rjr./*l nplrnnwl OUllCiiUCl lUCli U 1UJU UUVt xwwv edge the sovereignty of the king. The British agree to bring back the Boer prisoners as speedily as possible, without loss of liberty and property. Bieakers of the laws of warfare must throw themselves on the king's clemency. Dutch shall be taught in the schools if so desired by parents, and used in the courts if necessary. Military punishment is to end as soon as possible and civil government shall be substituted. There shall be no taxation on the Transvaal to pay the cost of the war. Three million pounds is to be provided for stocking the Boer farms. C.spe Colony rebels are to be subi-ct to trial and may be disfranchised for life, tut no death penaly is to be Lfb.eted. Great Britain practical-y }ie;os all demands of the Boers except absolute independence. The bouse of commons was crowded to hear the announcement. The feature of the hour is the feeling toward the king, which is one of extraordinary enthusiasm. Dots from Jones' Mill. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Dry and dusty.

While in town last week ilr. Walter F. Derrick, who i9 good company any way, you know, told some of his fishing experiences which we enjoyed, one of which being: One day he was fishing in Uncle Mike Ldwman's pond, using as a bait a good size minnow, directly he got a tremendous "bite"' which nearly dragged him from his feet and taxed the full capacity of his well knit muscles to manage, but by wrapping his line around a big gum which grew nsar the waters edge, he succeeded in landing his fish wnich proved to be a yearling bream about half the size of his hand and not much larger tban the bait Now we can very well understand, by experience, how a twelve pound trout can. swallow a ten inch cat fish, but how ft r>rmnrl t.rnnt can swallow a half pound one, then a two pound trout swallow them both we leave -Judge Andrew Crawford to explain. But how a smaller fish can swallow a larger one is past our understanding, and we give it up. Y>Te thought we were good on "fish tales'" but this takes the cake. _ Notice Is hereby given to all parties concerned that burying dead bodies in the Red Bank church cemetery is p positively iorDiaaeo, except uy peru^r.sion of the trustees.
