Quiis Hopefully Felt by Partia- mentarians EARLY WALT 10 WARFARE PERMISSION GIVEN TO MEET THE COMMANDOES. Implies a Formal Unavewed Arm- jstice--~What The London Pa- pers Have To Say Regarding The Negotiations--Glad Kru- ger or Leyds Were Not Con- London, "April 19. ~The ministerial announcement concerning the | negotiations in South Africa is re garded in both houses as tantamount to the early cessation of hostilities. Some disappointment is expressed in pariianient that the Boer leaders did a feel justified in making terms without incurring the risk of consult ing with the less responsible element. This view, however, overlooks the thoroughly democratic nature of the Boer government, which prevents Schalkburger and his colleagues from formally "surrendering: 'Boer ence without the consent of the burgh- ers. It in generally 'felt in parlia- mentary circles that, although an ar- mistice was refused, the permission given the delegates to copsult with representatives of the commandoes must imply a formal unavowed armis- tice. Satisfaction is expressed in the lobbies of parliament that neither Mr. Kruger nor Mr. Lévds were apparent: ly consulted Jn the present negotia- tions. The principal editorial in-each of the London morning papers is devo: teed to a discussion of the possibility of peace; each paper dwells on the two points that the Boers made over- tures spontaneously, and that the British have evidently shown no signs of abandoning their policy as already laid down, yet, the interchange of opinion has not ended in a bregk- down, as was previously the case when Gen. Botha and Gen. Kitchener met, Hence, the Times concludes, that the Boer delegates have recog- nized the neceswity of bringing the hopeless struggle to a conclusion, and that they have satisfied Gen. Kitchen er that they are at least in earnest. Mr. Baliour's announcement pro- duced a feeling of jubilation in the city, such as has not béen known at any of the previous optimistic re ports from South Africa. There was great excitement on the markets throughout the afternoon, especially among South African mining shares, whith. were very strong: the upward movement prevailed all round, con- sols rose in sympatl with the gener al" strongth, and new issue of sop for the oe loan is now auoted at two pramiitin. Many of the home railways rose from one to two points, in harmony with the wide read public belief that, st last, ere § is real hope that peace is with- in wight. A. D. HARRINGTON, V.S.
