BOER WAR IS ENDED

Treaty of Peace Is Signed and London Cheers. BURGHERS GIVE UP. Lord Kitchener Makes 0 ficial Announce* ment of Their Surrender. Exact Term* Believed to Have Been Cabled to War Office, but Are Not Given Out to Public—King Edward Issues a Peace Proclamation —Britain Makes Concession to the Vanquished Foe-Great Gain to Empire Through War’* Ending. Peace in South Africa was officially announced by the London war office Saturday. The declaration followed the receipt of a cablegram from Lord Kitchener at Pretoria, the former capital of the South African republic, which related that terms of peace had been signed by all the representatives of the fighting Boers and by Lords Kitchener and Milner of Great Britain. Lord Alfred E. Milner is the British high commissioner in South Africa and Lord Kitchener is the commander-in-chief of the British army in the field. The treaty which they have negotiated is the result of the conferences that have been held since April 7, when Acting President Schalk-Burger and Secretary of State Reitz, for the Transvaal, nnd President Steyn for the Orange Free State, began a systematic effort to obtain a plebiscite of the Boers in arms with reference to a cessation of the conflict. Exact Terms Are Guarded. Whether Lord Kitchener cabled also the terms of the treaty as signed is unknown to the general public in London. It is believed, however, that he enlightened the war office to au extent far beyond the meager announcement of peace which the officials condescended to make known. This opinion is confirmed by the guarded declarations the officials permit to be whispered about in Downing street. These are to the effect that Great Britain made numerous concessions, which, although they destroyed the national individuality of the Boers, yet gave the burghers many rights for which they have been fighting since they began to harrass the British by their prolonged guerrilla warfare. Some of the Concessions. , Following are some of the terms that are said to be contained in the document that has been signed: Boers are to be permitted to retain their rifles to protect them against the savages and wild beasts of the veldt upon swearing allegiance to Great Britain. They will also be allowed a limited amount of ammunition. Boers are promised autonomy within a brief period. Great Britain will rebuild the Boer farm houses and restock the Boer farms, allowing the former owners to return to the peaceful pursuit of agriculture. Boer prisoners in St. Helena, Ceylon, the West Indies and other British prisons are to be repatriated within a stated time provided they take the oath of allegiance to the British empire. Great Britain promises to make a land grant to those Boers who prefer to start anew in some other colony of the empire than South Africa: Boers who wish to migrate to another country outside the British domain will receive a grant, probably in money, sufficiently large to enable them to begin life over again. Britain Riots in Joy. King Edward issued this proclamation of peace at 1 o'clock Monday morning: "The King has received the welcome news cf the cessation of hostilities in South Africa with infinite satisfaction and bis majesty trusts that peace may speedily be followed by the restoration of prosperity in his new dominions,, and that the feelings necessarily engendered by war will give place to earnest co-op-eration on the part of his majesty’s South African subjects in promoting the welfare of their common country.” Great joy was manifested throughout the United .Kingdom because of the ending of the war, which has been waged incessantly at enormous cost iu money and life since Oct. 11, 1899. Nowhere is the rejoicing greater than in the palace of King Edward himself. For several months it has been the leading desire of his heart nnd the main object of his daily duties to bring the war to an end in advance of bis coronation, which takes place the 2(5 th of the present month. Empire’s Great Gain. The result of the war adds to the British domains 1(57,4(15 square miles of territory, an area equivalent to all the New England States, New York nnd I’ennlylvania, rich in gold and diamond mine* and with other natural resources of enormous value. Moreover, it adds nn important link to the Cape-to-Cairo chain**! possessions, the possibilities of which in the future development of the continent of Africa ;nnnot be estimated by the present generation. The newly acquired territory hnd before the wnr a population of 350.000. While this lias been considerably reduc’d, It is reasonable to expect that peace will restore prosperity and attract imnigration.

Cost of the War Enormous.

The cost of the subjugation of the Dutch republics in South Africa has been prodigious and President Kruger’s predictions that the price of their extinction “would stagger humanity” has been fully justified. Up to the beginning ot the present year the British treasury expended $835,170,000 for war purposes. Since then $225,000,000 has been added. The chancellor of the exchequer recently recommended an increase in taxes to meet the outlay, and a tax on bread-stuffs was adopted as the only available means of attaining the desired end. In order to meet the emergency additional taxes were levied ns follows: Import duty of 0 cents a bun dredwelght on nil grain, 10 cents on flour nnd meal uud 10 cents on meat $ 13,250,060 Increase of 2 cents on the $5 In the Income tax, making It about 31 cents on the $5; also ■tamp duty on cheeks and other commercial paper 2,300.00 Suspending the sinking fund.... 22.500.660 Government will borrow 100,000.600 Drafts on exchequer 28,376,600 Total $226,620,000

DECLAREWAR UNJUST

INDIANA DEMOCRATS IN CONVENTION DENOUNCE IT. Platform Is Most Bitter—America, the Champion of Freedom, Declared to Be Engaged in Unholy Work-Tariff Reform Urged—Nominations Made. Indianapolis correspondence: 1 he Imliana Democratic State convention opened in Indianapolis Wednesday. Chairman Kern made a vigorous speech, in which he scored the Republican party for the Philippine war. for fathering trusts ami for failure to push tariff reform. ' ll> , I'lAtform, which was read by Mr. Snively. was a vigorous document, in which tlie present national administration was strongly condemned. The Philippine policy was assailed bitterly. The platform says on this point: "Me hold these truths to be self-evi-dent, that ail men are created equal, that they tire endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men. deriving their just (tower from the consent ot the governed. Therefore, we condemn and denounce the Philippine policy of the present administration. It has embroiled the republic in an unnecessary war, sacrificed the lives of many of its noblest sons and placed the United States, previously known and applauded throughout the world as the champion of freedom, in the false and unamerican position of crushing with military force the efforts of our former allies to achieve liberty and self-government. "I he Filipinos cannot be citizens without endangering our civilizations; they cannot be subjects without imperiling our form of government; and as we are not willing to surrender our civilization, to convert the republic into an empire, we favor an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to assist the Filipinos to establish for themselves an independent government, protecting them from outside interference, and securing to this country such commercial and moral rights and advantages as would be just and fully and fairly protect American interests. "M e hold in reverence the valor, patriotism and services of the soldiers and sailors of the republic, and will, at all times and in all places, give our unswerving and enthusiastic support to our army and navy, which have always and everywhere maintained the dignity, power and honor of the American people. The beautiful shaft that rises above the capitol of our commonwealth is a worthy monument to the glory of those silent victors of Indiana who so freely offered their lives to secure the perpetuity of our free institutions. We favor liberal pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the republic and their descendants.” Touching upon the tariff question, the platform says: "We denounce the Dingley tariff law as the breeder of trusts and demand that tariff duties shall be levied for the purpose of revenue only and limited by the needs of the government honestly and economically administered.” Of trusts it says: “We denounce the Republican party for its surrender to and alliance with the trusts, and we favor such legislation sis will suppress and destroy all trusts or combinations to control the production and the price of commodities," The convention then proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for Secretary of State. Alfred Schoenover of Attica and O. L. Ballou of La Granfe were placed in nomination. The result of the first ballot was nnrounced as follows: Total. 1.547; necessary to a choice, 774. Schoenover, 828; Ballou, 719. The former was declared nominated and upon motion of Mr. Ballou the nomination was declared to be unanimous. For State Auditor James P. Riggs of Sullivan was nominated by acclamation, there being no other names presented. Jerome Ilerff of Peru was nominated for State Treasurer by acclamation. Adam Heimberger was nominated for Clerk of the Supreme Court by acclamation. For Attorney General but one name was presented, that of William E. Stilwell of Gibson County. There being no other candidate the roll call was dispensed with and Mr. Stilwell was nominated by acclamation. For Superintendent of Public Instruction. Samuel L. Scott of Jeffersonville and Janies L. Glasscock were placed in nomination. The first ballot resulted: Scott, 829; Glasscock, 71S. Upon motion of Mr. Glasscock the nomination of Mr. Scott was made unanimous. For State Statistician P. S. Downey of DeKalb County and Myron D. King of Marion County were nominated. Mr. Downey withdrew before the roll call and Mr. King was nominated by acclamation. Edwnrd Bassett was nominated for State Geologist by acclamation. For Judge of the Supreme Court T. E. Howard of South Bend was unanimously nominated.

STORM WORKS HAVOC.

Joliet la Swept by a Flood and Great Damage Resnfte. Joliet. 111., has experienced the most disastrous Hood in its history. The city was inundated by the terrible rainstorm of Monday night, great damage to property resulted and a number of persons were reported drowned. All railroad traffic in the city was brought to a standstill, tracks were washed out, telegraph poles were down and the utmost confusion prevailed. About 8 o’clock Monday night a black cloud swept up from the southwest, accompanied by thunder ami lightning, and poured a torrent of water upon the streets which soon transformed them into rivers. Several persons were caught in the Hood. Water covered some of the streets to the depth of over two feet. The Masonic Temple was flooded to the depth of several feet, and on Chicago street, the main thoroughfare, water stood to the depth of three feet. The floods extended to the yards of the Illinois Steel Company, putting out the furnace fires and causing a complete shutdown of the mills. The Bates Machine works and the McKenna plant and wire mills were also under water. Fully twothirds of the east side of the city was inundated, and in some places the water reached to the roofs of low buildings. The telegraph and telephone lines were heavy sufferers, and the city was cut off from communication by railroad early Tuesday, As soon as the extent of the flood became known Mayor Barr issued a call for a special meeting of the City Council to provide special measures for the relief of the flood-stricken inhabitants. The loss to merchants will amount to many thousands of dollars. The Joliet Stove Company suffers a loss of >15,000 nnd the Joliet Warehouse Company of $lO,000. Most of the downtown stores had large quantities of goods stored in basements, and these were water soaked and will be almost a total loss.

Edward Ward, a farmer, hurried his team homeward. He wns unhitching it when the barn was blown to pieces, a heavy timber striking him in the forehead nnd crushing his skull. He died instantly. Heavy rains also caused great damage to crops, and it is said that the season’s work on many farms has been a total loss. Former United States Senator George W. Mcßride of Oregon and Mrs. Laura Walter Sehwichtenberg of the same State, were married at the rectory of the Church of the Ascension in New York. ' Richard Bartholdt of St. Louis was renominated for Congress by ths Republicans of the Tenth Missouri District. There was no opposition.
