Some of them were unique, but they all imeant one thingâ€"Mafeking is relevâ€" edâ€"Canada is glad. The Millions of the World‘s Metropolis Spent ilmlf the Night io the Streets Celebrating, Brave Badenâ€"Powell and . His Plucky Garrison Relieved. This sustsined bellowing and upâ€" roar of huncreds of thousuinds amazâ€" es the Engliihman, who ceases for a moment to le an actor and becomes mierely an observer. _ Sober, phlegâ€" matic London is Leside itself â€" with emotion. (Gusts of patriotism have set the town quivering twice or thrice before during thé war, but nothing has quite equalled _ last miht‘s bundred square miles of alâ€" most furious demonstrations. A Curions Sight. It was a curious thing for the onâ€" looker to see solemn, greyâ€"haired men toss their opara hats into the air and join in the haricane of cheers, when a wreathâ€"crowned banner with the porâ€" trait of Col. Badenâ€"Powell on it was London, May 19.â€"(4 a.m.)â€"Lonâ€" don‘s millions spent half the night in the streets, «and even at 4 o‘clock this morning troops of young men are murchin:; and singing and crowds are in front of the Mansion House, Marlborough House, the clubs in Pall Mall and the War Office and in Parâ€" Mament sqrare, waving flags and joining in the national nirs. borne along Piccadilly. Smart woâ€" men in broughams waved Union Jacks out of the windows. Convenâ€" tional family â€" parties stopped at street corners to take part in singâ€" ing ‘"God Save the Queen‘‘ and ‘"‘Solâ€" diers of the Queen.‘‘ _ Fvery where _ was abandon, good feelinir and an astonishing roar â€" of hmaan voices. It was all broucht ahort y a 20â€"word telegram fror Pretoria th: t Mafeking bad been re Heved. _Al!‘ ough the Government has not a word. and although _ nothing confirmatory has been received from any African source, except Pretoria, nobody apparently questions . the hews . * fice, nor would we have it as soon as it would arrive through . other channels. ‘Therefore, the fact that we have not re@ived it neither proves nor disproves the accuracy of the information. I need hardly say that we will trust, and we have good reason to think that it is probably Whet Mr. Ralifonr Says Arthur J Balfour, -rkln. from the Governu ent bench late last evenâ€" Int, said. ‘‘The only news I have is through the courtesy of the press.

It may be toâ€"morrow and perhaps even Monday before the Governiment would get despatches from our wilitary comumunders, even if the siege were raised some days ago, as the news would need to be conveyed over a long distance by a messenger on horseback, whereas, the eaemy would proiably be able to avail themselves of tclegraphic communication. Gagenâ€"Fowâ€"ii‘~ lirether Heare Et Dutch friend in Pretoria, saying that Mafeking had been relieved. The performance in the London music halls and theatres last evenâ€" ing had little use for stage business. The audiences which crowded . the Alhambra, Fimpire and Covent Garden theatres had no desire to attend a stage performance. ‘The first sight of a biograph scene in the Transâ€" vaal or the first glimpse of a miliâ€" tary or naval costame on the stage was sufficient to create an uproar. A leading actor in one of the Strand theatres said: ‘"I did not attempt to read my lines last evening. It was of no use. The public had no interâ€" est in me beyoud the fact that I wore a military uniform.‘‘ Everything Militory. At Her Majesty‘s Theatre, at the Garrick, where ‘"‘Zaza‘‘ is being playâ€" ed, and at the other houses . where legitimate drama holds the boards, the stalls, boxes and galleries sang in chorus, ‘‘The Absentâ€"Minded Begâ€" gar‘‘ and ‘"Soldiers of the Queen‘‘ between‘ acts in order to give vent to their enthusiasm, although â€" they seltled down to the program afterâ€" wards. After, at the music halis, however, no one pretended to . take interest in anything but having miliâ€" tary color. don has received a cablegram from a The London fire insurance laws make fire works impossible and the city lacked the blaze of illumination, characteristic of other great . cities durinyg similar rejoicings. The Brit ishers, thercfore, relied on lung powâ€" er and from St. Paul‘s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and up through Piccadilly to Hyde Park, there was a Niagaraâ€"like roar, incessant, ris ing and falling, hour after hour, as the surging masses poured through London‘s thoroughfares. The Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York and the Porâ€" tuguese Minister, occupied a box at Covent Garden, where ‘‘Lohengrin‘‘ was being presented, and when the relief of Mafeking was announced, they joined heartily in the appluuse. There was a lack of pyrotechnic glare, but every cabby and every buâ€" siness man in London had a Union Jack futtering from his whip. Patâ€" rons of four wheelers were not conâ€" tent to ride inside the vehicles and the tops were crowded with flagâ€" waving, checring enthusiasts. Baden«Poweli*s Moth r aud Sister. Ten thousand people stood in front of‘ Mrs. Badenâ€"Powell‘s house in St. George‘s place, chcering and singing, and a score of cabs brought congraâ€" tulations. _ Miss Badenâ€"Powell, the colonel‘s sister, said: ‘‘The same tale has been brought us many times during the last anxâ€" ious months. The War Office has promised us the earliest information. We only hope it is true.‘" Later in the evening Col. Badenâ€" Powell‘s mother sent word that she had retired, and that if any teleâ€" grams came she was not to be disâ€" turbed till morning. The boys of the Charter House School, where Badenâ€"Powell was eduâ€" cated, were aroused from sleep by the news, and the institution quickly became a veritable pandemonium of noise and enthusiasm. The Lord Muvor‘s Massagze. As quickly as the information â€" of the relief was received, the Lord Maâ€" yor sent the following despatch to Col. Badenâ€"Powell: ‘‘The citizens of London relieved. They rejoice fn the good news receivâ€" ed. Your gallant defence will long live in British annals. ‘Cable what money is needed for the garrison and inhabitants after long privations.‘" In â€" unrestrained â€" jubiliation, the provinces were not behind the metâ€" ropolis. Although London had the start by a few minutes, the great industrial centres and surrounding towns suddenly burst into patriotic demonstrations. Bells clashed _ in their steeples, village bands turned out and people gathered in the square to chant fervidly, ‘"God Save the Queen."* From all parts of the Empire come the same story. Bombay, â€" Hong Kong, Colombo and Canadian â€"and Australian cities are rejoicing. Continental Press Sad Over It. Continental cities, as the press telâ€" egrams abundantly testify, received the news sadly. Under the head of ‘"‘How the news was received,‘‘ ‘The Daily Chronicle says: The telegram to the Associated Press from â€" Pretoriaâ€"the historic despatch announcing the relief of Mafekingâ€"was sent from the capital of the Transvaal at 11.35 a.m., May 18. It renched the London office at 9.16 p.m. and was instantly deâ€" spatched to every quarter of the globe. _ By 10.30 p.m. had come a re sponse from far off Toronto of the reâ€" ception of the news there. It is not surprising, in view of the fact that, four minutes after the.receipt of the telegram here, it was in the Associaâ€" ted Press in New York, whence it was forwarded to the furtherest limâ€" its of the North American continent. Middle Life Glasses The relief of Mafeking has had the effect of suspending for a moment inâ€" terest in the operations elsewhere in the field of war; nevertheless, yesterâ€" day brought important official anâ€" nouncements.

There are 12.000 Boers at Rhenoster Sprtit, and reconnoitering parties are sighted daily by the British patrols. ‘‘There is no advancement which the nation would not hail as a fair reward for the brilliant capacity, cheerfulness and iron courage of the hero ef the Empire.‘‘ Compared to Lucknow, The Daily News, which compares Mafeking to Luckndw, says: " ‘B.P.‘ may stand for Badenâ€"Powell, or Britâ€" ish Pluck. Splendidly have these reâ€" sources responded to the need of Maâ€" feking. They have realized the full idea) of a British settlement in a far off land." n:-du said: . ‘‘New E_ *R peace als will probably be put lcrm the Boer Government. ‘The recent reverses are causing despondency. There was a prolonged meeting of the ‘Transvaal Executive at Pretoria Thursday, and the destruction of the wmines was again considered. It is understood that the Government does not intend to destroy the mines.‘" According to other advices from the same point, President Kruger| and the other bigh officials purpose leavâ€" ing alimost immediately for Lyden burg. ‘The British prisoners will be conveyed there, and the foreign Conâ€" suls at Pretoria are leaving for Lyd enburg.

The Boers have dynamited Laing‘s Nck tunnel, and the railway is comâ€" pletely wrecked. The work of reâ€" pairing will occupy many weeks. The Boers now hold the best positions for defending the pass. What Loedos Papers Say. That not only Mafeking, but the whole United Kingdom, is relieved, is demonstrated by the utterances of the morning papers. The Daily Telegraph says: ‘‘Mafe king is a sinall place. Its fall would have made no difference in the course of the war, but, while the balance of battle was redressed upon the great field of conflict; the unconquerâ€" able little town, shut _ up in the north, saw, the few weeks for which it was expected to hold out pass inâ€" to imonths of isolation. Never will England forget the happy, hopeful thrill that came to her when Col. Badenâ€"Powell said: ‘Mafeking can‘t be taken by sitting down and lookâ€" ing at it.‘ Allchinâ€"At New Hamburg, May l1th, Anna Smith, wifé of John Alichin, in trer 73rd year.
