Op Aiitl-Wur Jllfetiiis iMUltiu Called
Out at Aberdeen to Clear the Streets.
LONDON , May 21. Displayed in the
most conspicuous style in the Daily
Express in the dominant war news of
the morning is the following :
"We nave the best reason tor stating
that in the last twenty-four hours a
telegram has been received at the for
eign office , addressed personally to the
prime minister , from President Kruger ,
proposing terms of peace.
"The exact terms of the message can
not be stated , but we believe it is
couched in an exceedingly humble
strain. "
It is not conceivable , of course , that
Lord Salisbury can have sent any reply
except the one that stands ready on
the lip of every Briton unconditional
surrender.
The boisterous rejoicings over the
news from Mafeking have become riots
in parts of London. Aberdeen and Bel
fast and elsewhere in the United King
dom. In the Finchley district of Su
burban London a mob stoned the rail-
Avay sationmaster's house and smashed
the windows of a draper's shop , setting
the building on fire also , although ,
whether by accident or by design it is
not known. Clerks were injured. The
house of a Boer sympathizer at Harles-
ton was attacked by a large crowd and
the windows were shattered. The po
lice charged the mob and were greeted
with a shower of decayed eggs. Numer
ous arrests were .made and the police
reserves were called out.
Rioting took place in Aberdeen from
7 to 10 o'clock Saturday evening around
a hall where a "stop the war" meeting
was being addressed by Mr. Cron-
wright-Schreiner , husband cf Olive
Schreiner. A crowd of students and
others tried to storm the hall and to
break down the doors. The foot police
were unable to cope with the disturbers
and sent for the mounted police , who
made some headway with the crowd ,
but free fights occurred between the
supporters of the meeting and the
crowd and the Royal infirmary nearby
was kept busy dressing the wounds of
combatants , caused by stones , bricks
and clubs. A number of arrests were
made and finally the chief magistrate
ordered the chief constable to call out
the militia. The Gordon Highlanders
from the Castle barracks then cleared
the streeets. Within the hall the oppo
nents of the promoters of the meeting
practically broke it up and carried an
amendment of the principal resolution.
The residence of Rev. Alexander Web
ster , where Mr. Cronwright-Schreiner
stayed , was damaged.
Boer sympathizers stoned a proces
sion of shipyard employes at Belfast
and there were some disorders in Bir
mingham.
At Dover the business establishment
cf J. Brown , a local member of the
Chamber of Commerce , was wrecked
by a mob. The police were unable to
cope with the disturbance and the local
militia and volunteers were called out.
The rioting was continued until the
army was called upon to suppress the
mob. The windows of buildings ad
joining Brown's were smashed. Numer
ous arrests were made.
Special prayers of thanksgiving wore
offered yesterday in the churches of the
United Kingdom. The lord bishop of
London , Dr. Mandell Creighton , who
preached before the queen at Windsor ,
alluded to the relief of Mafekmg and
clergymen generally found in the event
their topic for the day.
Details of the relief are still wanting ,
the British military authorities Doing i
without dispatches. Lord Roberts wires i
that he knows of relief only through
a press agency. Lord Lansdowne , how
ever , announces that the war office ex
pects news today.

What the Democratic Union Party in
Havana Says.
HAVANA. Hay 21. The organising
!
committee of the democratic union ;
party conferred today with the presi
dents of the local committees and
reached a unanimous decision to rec
ommend that the members of the
party abstain from voting at the com
ing elections. A manifesto will
shortly be issued giving the reasons
for this step.
The party leaders contend that the
election preparations are being carried - j
ried out in such an unfair way as to I
make it impossible for the opponents j
of those in power to get a hearing , j
thus rendering the whole thing a farce. I
On the other hand it is asserted that
the real motive underlying this action
is the conviction of the leaders of
the democratic union party that , as
the Spaniards will refuse to vote , the j j
party has no hope of success.
Peace Parly in Pretoiia.
LONDON , Hay 21. There is a lack |
of fresh news from South Africa this i
morning , but details of past operations
tend to confirm the view that the end
of the war is within measurable dis
tance. From Kroonstad comes a story
attributed to excellent authority , to me
effect that a peace party is being
formed at Pretoria , while reports from
Pretoria itself indicate discouragement
at the recent reverses and the possi
bility of an early suing ior peace.

* written to General Wood that the recent -
} cent order directing such teachers as
j are not to be included in the trip to
j the -United States to attend Normal
j school for a month at the capitals
j of their respective provinces will bo
| a source of great inconvenience to
. many , owing to the cost of travel.

j He points out also that in numerous -

I recommends that wherever a teacher
i can give a good excuse this be ac-
cepted. Objections are also raised that
women teachers would find it more
difficult than the men to comply with
the order , especially in view of the
1 embarrassment that he woman teacher
! would feel in going to a strange town
for a month unless she had friends
there.

iPPOINTMENT IGNORED
Governor of Montaca Does Not Approve

Written in April What femitli HIIN to
Say of Hi * Action SayH lie Will Prove
Ills Conduct In the Future.
HELENA , Mont. , May 19. uovcrnor
Smith this afternoon appointed Martin
Maginnis United States senator to suc
ceed William A. Clark.
Maginnis represented Montana in
congress in the early days of the terri
tory. He is not allied with either dem
ocratic factions and has always been
a strong party man.
Governor Smith says that the resig
nation of Senator Clark was \\ritten in
April and that the date that it now
bears , May 11 , was the result of the
erasure of the original date , which can
easily be proved by examination of the
document. He also alleges that the
resignation was in the possession of
Charles A. Clark , son of the senator ,
for several weeks.
In carrying out the plot , it is charged
misrepresentation and other devious
methods were used to get the governor
out of the state.
Governor Smith today sent dis
patches from Butte to senator W. A.
Clark , Senator Chandler , chairman of
the committee on privileges and elec
tions , and Senator Frye , president of
the senate , saying he had disregarded
and revoked the action of lieutenant
Governor Spriggs in naming Clark to
succeed to the vacancy by his own res
ignation , and saying he had named
Martin Maginnis of Helena to fill the
vacancy. The dispatches are practi
cally the same , that to Clark rending :
"I have this day disregarded and re
voked your appointment as United
States senator made by Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs on the 15th inst. . as
being tainted with collusion and fraud ,
and have this day appointed Martin
Maginnis to fill the vacancy caused by
your resignation. "
"I shall prove by my conduct in the
future , " he concluded , "that I was not
guilty of any wrongdoing or any idea
of wrong. "
Miles Finlen is one of the democrats
in the legislature who voted against
Clark.

HANI LA , May 19. A proclamation
purporting to have been issued by Ag-
uinalclo and dated Hay 4 , from Pilillo
island , one of the Philippine group

gress and that hence it cannot treat

to surrender their arms at the insti
gation of the commission and on prom
ises which congress may not ratify ,
and also urges the Filipinos to enthus
iastically welcome the commission
when it arrives in the towns and prov
inces , asking boldly for , the form of
government they most desire , as the
Americans permit of freedom of
speech.
The proclamation closes with asking
the Filipinos to strive for liberty and
independence , pnd again warns the

Tbe Free Homestead Jllll Is In Kffcct by
Kxeeutive Sanction.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Hay IS.
President HcKinley signed the free
homestead bill at 4 o'clock this after
noon. Friends of the new law , who
have studied its provisions carefully ,
says that it takes effect at once. On
this point Congressman Burke , mem
ber of the public lands committee
which considered the bill , said :
"There is no question that under the
new law all lands formerly within In
dian reservations which have been
opened to settlement art- subject to
entry without the claimants being
obliged to pay for the land as uereto-
for. "
Hr. Burke called at the land ofllcc
to request fhat telegraphic instruc
tions be sent to local land oificprs how
to proceed under the new law concern
ing settlers about to prove up. The
officials of the Interior department de
clined to express an opinion as to the
effect of the law until they have had
full opportunity to examine it and
in due time instructions will be pre
pared. Congressman Burke expressed
the opinion that if settlers wish to
make proof before the local officers
are given instructions under the new
law they may do so without making
payment for lands as the old law pro-
vuled , and that while such proof may
not be accepted by the local officials ,
it will ultimately be accepted by the
land commissioner.
