DURHAM CHRONICLE Such was the glad news that re- Joiced old London on Saturday morn- ing last, and quick as flash the intel- ligence was cabled to every corner of the British Empire. The great me- tropolis was intoxicated with joy over the relie‘ of Baden-Powell and his plucky little garrison who with. stood the siege for 213 days. No pen picture can express adequately the feeling of the nation, no tongue can tell the horrors of the siege nor can ( the most fertile brain imagine the ‘ a'xfulness of the distress to wnich the garrison was subjected, reduced as they were to the smallest rations, hardly enough to keep soul and body together. The followitg Special cable to the Mail and Empire is so descrip- tive that we take the liberty of re- producing it. :-- London. Saturday. lay ISL-«A country or city mad with triumph- ant exultation is a thing only less terrible than a nation mad with the fury of revenge. None, not even “the Boers themselves. could refrain from sympathising with the great outburst of thankSgiving which uprose in a: mighty shout from end to end of1 Great Britain last night when the re- port of the relief of Maieking flashed over the land. It is the intensity of pent-up emOtion suddenly 'et loose which is fearsome and appalling. Even Ladysmith day failed to give Mary opened a little shop To help her on life's way. And honest toil found its reward, And it began to pay. “.How‘s biz 3" the landlord often asked And Mary war: imprudent; Of course she never guessed he was An economic student.

And thus the merry game went on Till Mary's file was spent: “\Ull u..“JU--:--â€"â€" V a. true indication of how deep has been the wound from which British pride has been suffering during these long months. Never before, perhaps, was victory so sweet to a nation Never before was the joy as fierce. It came like a flash of lightning. London at half~past nine last night; was quiet and listless, ailmOSt silent. Then came a. sudden shout from the Mansion house. A rush of feet fol- lowed. This was soon drowned by a wave of sound, to iii-articulate for words, but whose meaning needed no interpretation in the ears which had been waiting and longing to hear it for many impatient hours. .

The roar of the Mansion house swept east to White-3 chapel and west. to Piccadilly, :zwell-J ing into a mighty human thunderclap which transformed the city in a sin gle instant.

It. was a time when ' heaven itself was the only roof under which the burning feelings of the Londoners could hnd adequate ex- pression. So the theatres were emptied like magic. and I saw scores of women‘ as well as men. in full evening dress, rush to the street from a fashionable theatre and shout madly with the de- lirious throng. and even wave their opera cloaks in frantic enthusiasm. As the excitement grew wilder, Whitechapel and Lamheth rushed to Fleet street and the Strand. Ken-1 sington, Mayfair and thlgravia pour- ed into Piccadilly and Regent street. where flags. horns and tin pans came from nobody knows where, but they 3' appeared by hundreds and thousands.
