London May 31 Yesterday at noon

This intelligence comes from the Router

The two messages loft about the same

but it is assumed that tho press advices
are correct Most of tho London morn
ing papers through the courtesy of the
Daily Mail print Lord Rosslynu dis
patch and comment on it treating the
war as ended Some of tho more cau
tions critics think that guerrilla war
fare is likely to be carried on for some
time in various parts of the conquered
territory If tho Boer forces are din
6olviug Lord Roberts apparently has
not taken any quantity of artillery
anns or stores Large bodies of Boers
must still be somewhere in the field

HOPE FOR MEAT PRODUCTS
German Hill nor Not Go Into Effect Un
til October May Be Modified
Chicago May 31 Chicago packers
saw a chance of relief from the restric
tions of tha German meat bill in infor
mation cabled last night to Morris Ep
stein president of the Gorman-American
Provision company that the bill
will not go into effect nntil Ootobcr 5
By that time it is supposed tho Ger
man naval bill will have been passed
and the German opponents of tho meat
bill will Do better able to work against
it and perhaps modify some of its work
ings
Tho news that tho bill will not go
into effect until October makes mo
believe that boforo that time somo way
will have beeu found to soften its re
strictions provided tho United States
does not lose its temper and begin re
taliatory measures on German pro
ducts said Mr Epstein While I
was discussing the meat bill with a
German statesman not loug ago when I
was abroad he said to me that Ger
many never would euforco such an un
friendly measure against America pro
vided the United States did nothing
unfriendly to Germany From that I
inferred that tho opponents of the meat
bill looked for tome modification of it
before it is put in effect
