MOB RULES LONDON STREETS SERIOUS UNDERCURRENT OF DIS. CONTENT IS IN EVI- DENCE. PEACE TERMS ARE GIVEN OUT ENGLAND GIVES THE BOERS §15,- 000,000 WITH WHICH TO RE- STOCK FARMS. London, June 4.—The announcement of peace in South Africa was celebrated in London last night with a wild repeti- tion of the Mafeking celebration. Hundreds of thousands of people surged through the streets of London from Whitechapel to Buckingham pal- ace, but never at any time did the crowds equal those which created the verb “To Maffick.” Last night 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 announce- ment of the reliefs of Mafeking and Ladysmith was lacking. Women, many of them carrying babies, boys, drunken loafers and others, glad of any excuse to defy the law and order, were the principal elements in the ragged pro- cessions passing and repassing through the principal streets. ‘A very serious undercurrent of discontent probably is responsible for the fact that London has not shown the same @vidences of rejoicing as were to be seen on Mafe- king night. In some quarters the com- ment on this “peace with honor” end- ing of the war was that Great Britain “has 'the peace and the Boers have the honor.” Might Have Done Better. ‘The Liberal members of the house of commons declared freely that peace in South Africa might have been secured a year ago, and on better terms, had the British government not been so ob- stinate. The decorations and illumina- tions of London took on a more organ- ized form as the peace news grew older. The American and Irish flags figured largely among the decorations, while the new ensign of the Australian fed- eration made its first appearance in @ national celebration. The words “God Save the King” were very generally inscribed across the Union Jacks exhibited. This was @ sort of unconscious tribute of the na~ tional belief that peace in South Africa was due more to King Edward’s per- sonal influence than to any other cause. All the cities and town of the United Kingdom are giving vent to their joy by demonstrations, bonfires and il- luminations, and, considering the crowds, remarkably few accidents haye been reported. The Peace Terms. ‘The demand for accommodations in the house of commons yesterday after- noon to hear the statement of the first lord of the treasury and government leader, A. J. Balfour, was unprecedent- ed. Mr. Balfour arose at 2:40 p. m. and announced the terms of peace in South Africa as follows: The burgher forces lay down their arms and hand over all their rifles, guns and munitions of war in their posses- sion, or under their control. ‘All prisoners are to be brought back as soon as possible to South Afrika, without loss of liberty or property. No action to be taken against pris- oners, except where they are guilty of breaches of the rules of war. Dutch is to be taught in the schools, if desired by the parents, and used in the courts if necessary. Rifles are allowed for protection. Military occupation is to be with- drawn as soon as possible and self-gov- ernment substituted. There is to be no tax on the Trans- vaal to pay the cost of the war. ‘The sum of three millions sterling is to be, provided for restocking the Boer farms. Rebels are liable to trial according to the law of the colony to which they belong. The rank and file will be dis- franchised for life. The death penalty will not be inflicted. Terms Are Approved., Judging from the opinions thus far given out by public men and from the editorials in the London newspapers, the terms of peace appear to meet with approval from all sides, but the extrem- ists of both the jirgo and the pro-Boer parties find something to cavil at. The Daily Chronicle in its issue of this morning remarks: “The close of the war has converted us all,to pro-Boer- ism. England, as a whole, has taken her triumph as she took her disaster, namely, with a sobriety and discretion which should help cur former enemies over the remaining rough places to lasting friendship. if Whole World Is Pleased. While London went temporarily mad in a saturnalia of rejoicing over the news from South Africa, the telegraphic nerve system of the empire throbbed responsively. From Canada and Ja- maica in the West and from India and Australia in the East came messages of congratulation and reports of local rejoicingss. Gibraltar, Cairo, Bombay and Melbourne each in turn recorded the enthusiasm with which the news of peace was received. From the continent also came announcements of satisfac- tion, springing not so much from joy of Britain’s triumph as from feelings of relief that the long tension was over and the belief that the era of peace por- tended a trade revival and the return to normal conditions. Roberts’ Rribute to Kitchener. London, June 4.—Field Marshal Earl Roberts, speaking at a military lunch- eon at Althorp yesterday, paid a grace-| ful tribute to Lord Kitchener, Earl Roberts said: ‘The country ought to be grateful to Lord Kitchener and to the army for what they have achieved. | ‘When Lord Kitchener assumed com- mand things he has accomplished what no other man received a eee from the pope whi conveys the pon sincere peta ulations on the re-establishment of peace in South Africa.

There were numerous fights between the police and the strik- ers and their sympathizers. Street car traffic was stopped while the fighting went on, The police and employes of the packing companies were stoned, and at one place when surrounded by a dense crowd of men and women, the police, fifty strong, under command of Lieut. Col!fns, maddened by the numer- ous stones with which they had been pelted, drew their revolvers and charged full into~ the crowd, which showed no disposition to retreat. Fists, } stones and clubs were brought into requisition by the strikers and the po- lice used their batons and the butt end of revolvers freely. When this fight was over there were a number of strik- ¢rs needing surgical attendance. None were dangerously injured as far as known, however, and the wounded strikers were: carried off by their friends. The fighting began on the West side shortly after noon, and in different parts of the city continued practically all of the afternoon, Worst Fight of the Day, ¢ The most serious trouble of the day occyrred in Crosby street in the district which is known in police circles as “Little Hell.” A smajl detachment of policemen under the command of Lieut. Collins was escorting a number of wag- ons loaded with meat to the distributing stations down town. A large crowd followed the wagons, shouting and jeer- ing. and now and’ then sending a stone over the heads of the officers in the direction of the men on the meat wag- ens, The line of wagons escorted by the police was frequently stopped by other teamst2rs who would manage to pull across the street just in the proper place to prevent the meat wagons from making any progress. The police would |}. crder the men away and in a few min- utes the performance would be repeat- ed, much to the delight of the immense crowd that was following on. Finally one teamster refused to pull his team out of the way of the meat wagons, and the police placed him under arrest. Then the fight commenced. In an in- stant a shower of Stones, Mud and Sticks fell around and upon the officers, bruis- ing some of them badly. Lieut. Collins ordered the march of the meat wagons to be stopped, and at once charged the crowd. One officer was knocked down with a brick and his companions then drew their clubs and made war with such energy that in a few minutes the crowd was in full flight and the street was filled with men with bleeding heads. Forming his men around the wagons once more, Collins started on his march. By the time the barns were reached the anger of the crowd had grown to fever heat. An attempt was made to cross Halstead street, but in less than a minute a blockade had been formed which it took two hours to re- lease. The police attempted a show of force only to arouse the crowd again. Stones were thrown at the police and the rioters were clubbed and dragged into patrol wagons. Finally after pushing and fighting for a long time the police managed to get the wagons to the barns and the doors were closed, Last night another serious fight took place at Twelfth and State streets. Meat was being removed from the packing house plants by two retail firms. Shortly after 6 o’clock in the evening the wagons started. Policemen Weber, McCarthy and O'Connor were detailed to follow’ the men and prevent trouble. Grows to Thousands, The men held back from open vio- lence until the wagons reached the Twelfts street viaduct.. The crowd had rapidly increased. From a few hun- dred it had grown into the thousands, and the wagons could not be driven through the dense masses. The three policemen and eight drivers, aided by the owners of the shops, fought the mob, but they were being rapidly over- powered. Meantime Officer Weber had forced his way to a patrol box and sent in a riot call. Five patrol wagons re- sponded. The policemen surrounded the wagons and fought back the crowds. Clubs were used and revolvers were drawn to intimidate the mob. Slowly the attacking party gave way and in the scrimmage the police arrested six men. Give Officers a Hard Fight. The six prisoners were placed in a patrol wagon and started for the Har- rison street station. A crowd followed the wagen and threatened the police- men. At Taylor street the wagon stopped. The ‘horses could not be driven through the crowd. As the wagon stopped and the policemen ordered back the crowd another fight started. The horses were taken from the patrol wagon and the six prisoners were for a time ‘released. The officers fought hard and the crowd was forced back. The prisoners were again loaded into the wagon and the horses attached. With the crowd shouting and threat- ening, the patrol wagon was driven to the poli¢e station without stop and the six men locked in cells. It is said that the packing companies have brought into Chicago several car- loads of colored men and that the men will be placed at work to-day. If this is done it is thougnt that there may he an outbreak in the stock yards and the police are preparing to handle any trouble that may result. CABLE IS BROKEN.

RATER § EDGE Stiking Teninsters of Chicago Give’ Them a Strenaous Day. Chicago, June 5. — Chicago's police were giyen a strenuous iife yesterday by the striking packing house team- sters. From daylight until long after dark the bluecoats were kept busy dis- persing troublemakers, wh® congre- gated along the streets and in every conceivable manner placed obstacles in the way of the meat dealers who en- deavored to move their supply wagons with non-union drivers. In spite of the striking teamsters and their friends thirty-three wagon loads of meat were delivered from the stock’ . yards to dewn-town stations. Before the task was accomplished, however, a score of policemen and rioters had been injured and fully fifty persons had been placed ~ under arrest. Several of the injured were in such a serious condition that m4 they were taken to hospitals. Two of the injured may die. When the procession of wagons left the packing district they were guarded by a heavy detail of police. As soon as the wagons emerged at the entrance of the yards fully five hundred enraged strike sympathizers made a rush tc overrun the conveyances. Use Clubs Freely. ‘The policemen drew clubs and after a hard strugglé succeeded in seattering the mob, A fresh start was made, but before the wagons reached the down- town district the mob, augmented by hundreds of sympathizers, made an- other attack, In the fight that followed ~— revolvers were drawn. No person was ° shot, the police, instead, using their clubs indiscriminately, and a dozen or more persons were hurt before the march “ould be resumed. When the central portion of the city was reached clashes between the police and the srowd became numerous. Street car traffie was an impossibility and it was — necessary for several squads of police to charge the crowds with batons before the wagons had reached the various down-town houses. To add to the burdens of the police department 1,300 drivers and their help- ers employed by the State street general retail merchandise department stores went on a strike yestserday. An at- tempt was made to deliver department ¢, & | store goods with non-vnion drivers un- der police protection, but so much dis- order developed that the attempt proved futile. Before the project was ‘ abandoned several ricters were hurt and many arrests had been made. 2% SCIENTISTS AGAIN BRAVE AWFUL DANGERS OF MONT PELEE.
