London, June 2. Peace hag been de clared after nearly two years and eight months of s war which tried the British empire to its uttermost and wiped the Boers from the list of nations. The war has come to an end with Lord Kitchener's announcement from Pretoria that he, Lord Miiner and the Boer delegates had signed "terms of surrender." This announcement had been anticipated for several days, but its receipt Sunday afternoon took the nation by surprise, as everybody had confidently believed that the house of commons would bear the first news to day. The edge of the anticipation with which Great Britain awaited the prom ised statement in the house of com mons was still further dolled by the following message from King Edward to his people, which was issued after midnight: "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 dominions, and that the feelings necessarily en gendered by war will give place to earnest co-operation on the part of his majesty's South African subjects in 'promoting the welfare of their common country." N The news which Gieat Britain was so anxiously awaiting came characteristic ally on an entirely pacific and uninter esting Sunday afternoon, when London presents a deserted appearance. Very late Saturday night a dispatch was received from Lord Kitchener, in which he said the Boer delegates were coming to Pretoria, that they had ac cepted Great Britain's terms and they were prepared to sign terms of surren der. Mr. Broderick, the war secretary, personally communicated this message to King Edward, who was at Bucking ham palace. But the government de clined to take any chances and nothing concerning the receipt of this message was allowed to leak out. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the war de partment received the message from Lord Kitchener, announcing the sign ing of the terms of peace. The clerk on duty at the war office transmitted this message to Bucking ham palace, where King Edward was lunching. At about 5 o'clock word was received permitting the publication of this message, and the small notice which was stuck up outside the war office consisted of a copy of Lord Kitch ener's cablegram. A similar notice was put outside the colonial office. Beyond these two skimpy bits of paper, London knew nothing of the great event. It) the clubs, the hotels and the newspaper offices, which were al most all deserted, the momentous news was ticked out on the tape. Then like wildfire, at about 6 o'clock, London awakened to the fact that the South African war was over. By 8 o'clock the news had become generally known. A few belated extra editions of newspapers were peddled about the streets, but before their appearance the enterprising hawkers, who for a long time past had kept union jacks, feath ers and horns stored up in anticipation of the present event, were much in evi dence. - Cabling from Pretoria, the corre spondent of the Daily Mail, after an nouncing the signing of the terms of surrender, says the British authorities absolutely rejected the suggestion of the Boer delegates that the terms of surrender should be ratified by Mr. Kruger, and declared that the Boers in Europe had no hand in the settle ment. "The terms will show," continues the correspondent, "that the British government carried -its contentions on every vital point, while the minor concessions, particularly those in re gard to the generous financial treat ment, will greatly appeal to the Boers in general. The value of Lord Kitch ener's personality as a factor in the conclusion of peace can never be over estimated. There is no doubt that peace will be popular among the Boers." Invited by the Kaiser. Berlin, May 31. Emperor William has directed that Adjutant General Corbin, General S. M. B. Young and General Leonard Wood shall be his guests at the German military man euvers next fall. More than this, the foreign office has informed the repre sentative of the Associated Press here that the emperor is very glad the Amer ican generals are coming to Germany, Tight With the Yaqul. Nogales, Arii., June 3. An out break of Yaqui Indians has occurred. A fight took place 30 miles trom Her mosillo, in which eight Yaquis were killed and two Mexicans.

On the other hand, foreign sta Hons will celebrate it November 9, the actual anniversary of his birth. Great interest in the celebration was apparently not diminished by the ex pectations of greater series of events surrounding the coronation. Thekwiis throughout the kingdom were gaily decorated and the shipping at the vari ous ports made the gayest display of bunting. The day was observed at all of the home military and naval head quarters with parades and salutes.

The labor troubles which have been brewing for a month are now on the eve of coming to a head. Three of the largest American employ ers of Filipino labor have been notified that they must advance salaries 60 per cent all around or face a strike. One firm three years ago paid employes $3 per week, and is now paying them $30 weekly. The firm says a further ad vance is impossible. It is the intention of Isabelo de Los Keys, the organizer of labor associations here, to secure an increase of wages in all trades or force a general strike. The merchants are alarmed at the outlook.

CHICAGO TEAMSTERS' STRIKE. May Result In Stoppage of 40,000 Men at Stockyards. , . Chicago, May 30. If the four great packing concerns at the union stock yards shall not yield to the demands of the striking teamsters within a short time it may result in a general stoppage of 40,000 employes at the yards. Al ready several hundred persons have quit. The situation is becoming so involved that it apparently will be im possible for the union men to remain at work much longer without violating the rules of the Chicago Federation of Labor, under which they bold charters. Conference between several of the firms and representatives of tho union were held this afternoon in an Jeffort to adjust the trouble, but the packers re fused to concede any of the demands of the strikers, and the probability of an early settlement seems as remote as on the first day of the tie-up. Tonight 225 boxmakers employed at the National Box Company's plant struck becausa they had been asked to furnish boxes to the packers against whom the team sters are struggling. The American Express Company refused today to handle meat, because of the fear that its drivers would strike. Striking teamsters attempted today to curtail the meat supply of down town hotels and restaurants by surrounding drivers for Swift & Co., and threaten ing them. Policemen sent in response to a riot call dispersed the crowd, how ever, and soon were in full possession. Further steps to extend the strike were taken when orders were issued from the teamsters' headquarters that no coal should be delivered to concerns that refrigerate meat for "unfair" butcher shops or packing houses. This development promises the most com plete tie-up of teaming deliveries ever experienced in Chicago. Butchers that use meat delivered by non-union drivers will lose their ice, and con cerns that mtke their own ice will lose their coal. SITUATION IN MINDANAO. Colonel Baldwin Suggests Wiping Out the Defiant Element. Manila, May 81. Colonel Frank D. Baldwin, of the Fouith United States infantry, has telegraphed to Brigadier eneral George W. Davis, in command of the United States ' troops in tho island of Mindanao, that he does not expect to establish satisfactory peace conditions in the Lake I.ano district until the defiant element is wiped out. The natives pretending to be friendly are urging that this be done, as their own lives are in jeopardy, "which," the colonel adds, "we are in the highest sense under obligations to protect. "The defiant element," continues Col onel Baldwin, "respect nothing but powder and the sword. They will de stroy human lives until destroyed them selves." General .Davis replied that, to meet the emergency in the way sug gested, would necessitate the capture of every fort which now admit American troops as friends, which waa forbidden under existing orders. NO FAVORS TO TERRITORIES. Senate Committee Wants Each To Stand on Its Own Bottom. Washington, May 30. The decision of the Republican members of the sen ate territory committee, not to take up the omnibus territorial bill was based upon the fact that no time could be given to the consideration of the bill at this session, and the further fact that the members of the committee think that each territory jhould stand on its own bottom, and not be carried along by a meritorious territory like Oklahoma. Probably a separate bill may be passed for Oklahoma, but there is still vigorous opposition to both Arizona and New Mexico, on the ground that they have not shown a sufficient increase of population. F.ven if the Oklahoma bill be reported it is doubtful if it could get consideration in the senate under the present conditions. WILL PUT ON FAST TRAINS. To Shorten Tim Between New York and th Pacific Coast. Chicago, May 31. The Chronicle this morning says: The first of June will witness the first great step toward faster time be tween New York and the Pacific coast.
