Pretoria is Certain That End is at Hand. A despatch to the London Stand- ard from Pretoria dated Saturday says there is considerable reason (or helicvlng that a tentative agreement regarding peace hag been arrived atui which, unless something unfor happens, to vitiate it, will prove uiutuully cordial. The correspondent adds that he understands that the buais of assured peace on the initia- tion of the Boers themselves bus at length lioen reached. Tha Boer lead- ers left Pretoria Friday night. On Do Wet goes to Hcilbron. Acting President Schalk burger and Uen. Ito- lare.y will leave tho train at Klerks- dorp, Cen. Lucas Meyer gem to the LyiKlenburg district. State Secretary Ueit/. and a companion will meet the burghors beyond Hietersburg. and Uen.

While it is possible that some of the I State burghers will prove re- Ciil< iirant, it is confidently expected that the Transvaal Doers a!m<> t t" a man will acc|iiiesce In the wishes o( their leaders. * BREAD HIGHER IN LONDON.
