New Happy Era.
London, Juno 6.-A. J. Balfour, the
Government Reader in the Howe of
Commons, in: a speech at a Conserva-
tive banquet in London to -night, re-
formed to the South AfricanWar. He
said the load was only thoroughly re-
alized now that it had beeo removed,
and that peace had not been bought
by -unneeeseary concessions. Mr. Bal-
four said he believed the terms of
peace possessed every element of
certainty, permanence, and stabil-
ity, and that a new and happy ore
ikewned in South Africa. "To have
acted on the advbee of Lord Rosebery
and 81r Haney Caseebell-Bannerman
(the Liberal leader in the House),
said tho speaker, "and bought peace
at the price of coneplete amnesty,
week' have been eo put a premium
on rebellion., while to have nego-
elated with Mr. Kruger and his ad-
visers would have been a fatal mis-
ittlike."
Mr. Balfour said lie could respeet
!the lighting burghers, but not those
who had deserted the Republics in
South Afric,a. The contention of the
Liberals, he centinueet, that peace
might have been secured, a year ago,
was untenable, because Gen. Botha
ehen demanded independence.
"It would leave boon absolute tun-
etcy," added Mr. Balfour, "to have
se -ranted a representative Govern-
ment at once, and had we been able
to -secure peace on those terms, there
Would have been no security for an
enduring peace."
Mr. 33,alfour devoted the latter part
of his speech to ridiculing the divided
pommels of the Liberal party.

Oates are so vague that the British

to advance within any definite 'lane.
The impression prevails that the

mouths ago. It is believed that Mr.
Chamberlain as a comprehensive

Thanks the colonies.
London, June 8. - The Colonial
Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, at
the opening of the temporary club
established here for the use of the
colonial troops who are to attend
the coronation, paid a hearty tri-
bute to the colonies' connection with
the late war in South Africa. ,
Ito add the Empire owed a great
debt to the colonies, for both moral
and material assistanoe, for they
had seen with an instinct unsur-
passed by the most patriotic Eng-
lishmen the greatness of the issues
at stake, and had furnished the
Motherland with an army larger
than, the British army which fought
at Waterloo. .

spoke.
The scene was indescriba.bly pa-
thetic. Among the thousands of
Boers a5semble:1 there WaS scarcely
a dry eye, and at the conclusion of
the speech the women wept with-
out restraint. Afterward the Dutch
President spoke, tendering grateful
thanks for the kindly treatment the
Boers had received. He said that

could have been received. His speech

As Mr. Sehalkburger was leaving

hands with him and plied him with
questions regarding relatives. He
promised 'to return Monday. Thou-
sands of throats voiced their thanks
and buret into a song of thanka-

oecasions, will parade in warm wea-
ther attire.
Mode or Surrender.
Despatches receared from Pretoria
Hay that tile whole staff of the
Transvaal Government, with a body
guard of fifty men, surrendered last
Saturday.
The following formelities are ob-
served when General Botha, General
Dewet or any of the Boer command-
ants accompanying the British of-
ficer who line been detaileti to re-
ceive surrenders. The Boer leader
goes out to meet a commando and re-
turns at its head. The Boers who
eOnzto in are generally dressed In di-
lapidated clothing, but have a smart
anti soldierly bearing. The Boers,
who are to surrender, are assem-
bled, and the Boer leader delivers
an address to his men urging them
to listen to the British officer who
has been detailed on this work. Tile
British officer then makes a speech
to the men of the commando, In
which he informs them of the admira-
tion of King Edward and the Brit:
Ish nation for the gallant struggle
and the bravery of their people, and
promises that the British authori-
ties will do their utmost to help
them re -settle on their farms. A
meal is then provided for the -Boers,
after which the formal surrenders
occur. In many such instances the
Boers have cheered King Edward,
and they have sometimes expressed
surprise that no army was sent out
to receive their surrenders. The
Boers are allowed to retain their
horses and saddles, and the majority
of them appear to be glad that the
war is at an end, and that they
will be enabled to join their families.
Thanksgiving ServIce.
. The service of thanksgiving for the
return of peace 'was held in the prin-
cipal squere of Pretoria. The sun
Rhone brilliantly, and the sight was
most impressive. Outside of the roped
enelosure for the troops were gath-
ered many thousands of the towne-
people and a goodly sprinkling of
Boors, whose demeanor was most
respectful. The Archbishop of Cape
Town officiated at the service, and
Lord Kitchener, Gen. Baden-Powell
anti Lady efathuen and other prom-
inent persons were present. The
massed bands of various regiments
supplied the music, and the troops
and people joined in :singing the
hymns with wonderful effect. The
singing of "God Save the King" and
Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional"
(-loved the service. l'ord Kitchener
then .mounted a dais and called for
three cheers for King Edward. The
reepoese from everybody assembled in
the equare was immediate and un -
retrained.

Notes.
A striking sign of the altered con-
ditions in South Africa is that Lord
Mailer rode from Pretoria to Johan-
nesburg last Saturday, accompanied
by 'ally two staff officers.
A few of the Boer women still in-
veigh against surrender, but the gen-
eral feeling among them is in favor
of makieg the beet of the situation.
Throughout the dominions of the
British Empire, especially in the prin-
cipal towns oe South. Africa., thanks-
glyeige for the return of peace were
held yesterday.

London, June B. -Today was ob-
served by tlie churches throughout
the country as a day of thanksgiv-
lug for peace. Interest In Loudon na-
turally centered in St. Paul's Ca-
thedral, where the special service
was attended by the King and Queen,
the Prince and Princess of Wales,
and other members of the Royal
family. The service commenced at
10.80, but hours before that time
huge crowds assembled along the
route from Buckingham Palace to
the Cathedral, especially from Tem-
ple Bar to St. Paul's, which section
of the route was blocked and Impass-
able before 9 o'clock.
Au Orderly -.throng.
From the Palace to St. Paul s the
thousands who lined the streets,
which are occupied by the partly
completed coronation stands, con-
ducted themselves to a way befitting
the day and the occasion. Even when
the Kings carriage, punctually at
10.05, rolled through the gates of
the palace, there wa.s for a moment
hesitation in the cheering. This soon
gave way and all along the route
their Majesties were welcomed with
hearty, continuous cheers, which
increased in volume as they proceed-
ed east, where the crowd was thick-
est. The King and Queen, Indeed,
had a reception of which they may
justly be proud.
Tito Binge; Appearance.
There Was no aLate procession. Tile
King was dressed in blue undress
frock coat and cocked hat of a field
marshal, -with the ribbon and star
of the Order of the Garter. Accom-
panied by the Queen and Princess
Victoria, he rode in an opeu semi -
state carriage drawn by four horses
ridden by postillions in dark green
livery. The carriage was preceded by
Iwo outriders wearing the royal
scarlet and was followed by the
King's equerry and aide In military
uniforms. A. similar carriage came
next, also preceded by .outriders. Tide
contained Prince and Princess Charles
of Denmark. The third and last car-
riage contained Lord Colville, Lord
Chamberlain of Her Majesty's house-
hold ; the Earl of Kintore, a lord in
waiting to His Majesty; Sir Dighton
Prdbyn, keeper of His Majesty's privy
purse, and Hon. Charlotte Kilolitre,
11 member of Her Majesty's house-
hold. The rear wee brought up by
scarlet uniformed outriders. There
was no military escort, and no mill-
tha-y were employed in keeping the
tout°, a comparatively small number
of mounted anti other police easily
controlling the decorous creevd.
Ia Pali Mall the King's procession
was joined ay four carriages con-
taining the Prince and Princess of
Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, the Duke and Duchess of
Argyll, and the Duke of Cambridge.
The Prince of Wales wore the uni-
form, of' a colonel .of Grenadiers, while
the Duke of Connaught and the Duke
of Cambridge were attired in field
marshal uniforms.
The City's Sword.
At Temple Bar there was a halt
while the Lord Mayor, attended by
a long string or civil dignitaries, ail
wearing robes of State, performed the
old formality of handing the King
the historic pea,rahanded sword of
the city. The King merely touched
It, and returned it with a few words
ot thanks. The Lord Mayor, the slier -
lies, and the other cite °Metals then
entered State coaches and deove
rapidly to the cathedral, in order
to receive the Roy,a,Ities upon their
entrance there. There, too, when
the Roy,a1 proeessioa arrived, were
gathered the Bishop of London and
caller clergy, who did hoinage, after
which a piocession immediately Emm-
a', headed by a crossebearer. Tnen
came gownemen, the Grenadiers'
hand, canons, sheriffs, the Lord
Mayor. tlie Kim; and Queen, sup-
ported by the biehop and dean, and
the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Every inch of the great building
was filled by aa enormous audieuce,
save the space reserved for the Royal
party. This was beneath the dome,
railed of: from the chancel, the steps
being covered with crimson carpet.
In the centre were two faldstools
with two massive aenichairs, uphol-
stered ia crimson and surmounted
with crowns, for the King and Queen.
A little to the right were chairs for
the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Behind the crimson -covered seats
were places for the rest of the Royal
party. Here, too, were several
dletinguished personages, who were
eiot in the prouession, including Earl,
Roberts and Viscount Wolseley.
Tito processional hymn was "On-
ward, Christian Soldiers." The special
service was in abridged form, consist-
ing of morning prayer and two spe-
cial prayers thanking Giol for victory
and peace, and praying for forgive-
ness for "whatever eve have done
amiss in this time of strife," and for
generosity and good -will between
teeth sides in the future. The Litany
was sung to music specially composed
by Sir Arthur Sullivan; for peace and
thanksgiving, it being his last work
before Ilit3 death.
The bishop preached a, brief sermon,
preceded by the hymn, "0 God, Our
Ilelp." The text was front Psalm
xxle. 10. Tao sermon was followeel by
the hymn, "Now Thaek We All Our
God." The service concluded with the
benediction and the einging of two

hymns. The Grenadiers' band aceom-
penied the hymns 'with fine effeet.
The simple service Wits thoroughly
impressive from beginning to end,
especially when the vast congrega-
tion joined in singing the National
Anthem, atcompanied by the band.
They sang with to earnest hearti-
ness, and ahnost seemed to netke
