of Terms Offered.
LONDON, June 2.?Not in years had
the House of Commons been so thronged
with such a brilliant and enthusiastic
audience, as when the first Lord of the
Treasury and Government Leader in the
House, A. J. Balfour. announced, this
afternoon. the peace terms concluded
?with the Boers.
An hour before the House met, a large
crowd on Wnite Hall vociferously cheer
ed the notable politicians. particularly
the Colonial Secretary Joscph Chamebr
lain, who walked unconcernedly from the
Colonial Office with a broad smile on
his face.
Long before the eustomary prayer, the
galleries of the House were packed.
Joscph H. Choate. the United States Am
bassador. Henry "White, the Secretary
of the Embassy: Lord Rothchild. and
many members of the Cabinet patiently
waited through tho answering of ques
tions in the House for tbe momentous
nnnouncement. An unusually large num?
ber of pecrs sat in their galleries and he
hind the ladies grill, aristocratic women
were closely packed.
Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Balfour both
received great ovations as they walked
to their seats. The lobhies and waitinp
rnnms wore crowded with disappointed
seekers for seats among whom were
manv Americana
BREATHLESS SILENCE.
The period of waiting finally came to
sn end. Amid breathless silenco. broken
n few seconds later by apptause sueh
r;s the House of Commons seldom hears,
Mr. Balfour stood up and announced the
terms on which the war in South Africa
had been ended. The reference to me
Boers acknowledging King Edward as
their sovereign made the hit of the day.
As the liberality of the terms grew
plalner, the cheers on the government
f;ide of the house diminished, while the
opposition's satisfaction was proportion
ately increased.
Tlirough all this. the Irish members sat
lmpassive. though earlier in the after?
noon they had startled the House by a
domonstration, which at first was
thoucht to be In honor of peace, but
which. it was soon discovered, was caused
bv the re-appearance in the House of
AVilliam Redmond, who had just returned
from the United States.
The tension was over and when Mr.
Balfour's statement was concluded every
one seemed plad of the opportunity for
a hearty laugh caused by the govern?
ment leader's humorous quashing of the
suggestion that the Commons adjourn
ln honor of peace. Various objections to
tbe peace terms were expected, but they
did not appear to be very serious. The
Irish view-point was that the govern?
ment has given up practically everything
and that the regulations affecting the
Cape rchels will be done away with in
consequence of the King's amncsty proc?
lamation.
Mr. Balfour arose at S.:AO
T. M. and announced the terms of peace
ln South Africa. as follows:
"His Exceliency, Lord Milner, in be?
half of the British Government; His Bx?

GOLD TEETH IN THE
EL
Buried Near the Battle Between
the Monitor and Merrimac.
GOLD A REWARD TO FINDERS
(Spocial Disnateh to The Times.)
NEWPORT NEWS, VA. June 2.?
While engaged in excavating for the
Hampton Roads Railway and Electric
Company, near the beach on Hampton
Roads this mornnig, several workmen
found a skeleton. In the mouth of the
skeleton was a gold plate, in which was
found" four false teeth. There werc-?
several lower teeth of gold. The gold
lilate, which was solid, held the upper set
of teeth and it is thought the entire
amount of gold will amount to probably
*?0.
*"The fact that the skeleton was dug
from the earth near the scene of the
memorable battle- between the Monitor
and Merrimac has led some to believe
that the corpse was one of the victims
in that battle
The workmen fwho made the dis
covery were frightened at first. But ono
one of the men noticing the gold shin
ing made an investigation and found
that the entire plate of the man's mouth
was a solid gold one.
The workmen extracted the gold and
relburied the bones near the banks of the
river.
According fto a fcvitness there wer*e
evidences to show that the remains had
been encased in a casket, al though
there were only the slightest traces of
the coffin at this time.
The gold was turned over to one of tho
workmen; who took it to Norfolk and
will divide the money derlved from its
sale among the laborers who dug the
skeleton up.
A Pitiable Picture of Misery, Old Age and Squalor in
an Humble Home in Cumberland County.
Kind Hands at Last.
(Special Dispatch to The Times.)
CARTERSVILLE, VA.. June C.-Scarce
iv can a sadder. more pitiable picture be
imagincd than that seen in the humble it
tle home of Mr. Jim Johnson during the
past few days. Mr. Johnson lived in a
small ohe-story house, about seven miles
from Cartersville, and within a stones
throw of Thomas' Chapel, There was
onlv one tiny window to the dwelling. and
strangers are often surprised when told
that people rally live there.
ln this house, with its back to the main
road, with no comforts whatever and
scarcelv with the necessities of life lived
Mr. Jim Johnson. a poor old man, per?
haps ninety years old: his son. Burley.
and his daughter, "Virgin Mary.' The
son and daughter were almost M
who at once summoned the nearest neigh
bors.
What a sight met the eyes of those who
hastened to assist them. The daughter had
been shrouded by the colored people, and
for want of a bctter place was laid out
on an old qullt, spread across the naked
slats. of the bed. The father lay a corpse
upon the floor, his feet ,in a little shed
room built on to .the house, and his body
in the other room. How comfortless his
death bed, it being impossible to walk
about the room without moving the body,
as the floor was not nalled down, and the
planks would fly up at one end if there
was any weight put on the other.
Clothes were given by the neighbors
and the bodies were shrouded and burled
by the county. To-day the lonely son.
with saddened heart, gazes upon the new
ly-made graves and wonders what it all
means. Last night a collection was taken
up for him at the Epworth League. and
Burley will be carefully looked after un?
til he is in a fit condition to go to Rich?
mond, where he believes he can get work.
Mr. Johnson has a daughter, Isabella,
in that city now, She was telegraphed
for, but did not come. It is thought she
j did not receive the telegram.

THE TEAMSTERS' STRIKE
Police, Maddened by Shower of Stone, Charged with
Drawn Revolvers Into Crowd, Which
Woulci Not Retreat.
(By Assoclated Press.)
CHICAGO, Jun<5 2.?Riot and blood
shed marked the progress of the team
sters' strike to-day. There were numer
ous fights between the police and tho
strikers and their sympathizers.
Street car trafflc was stopped, while
the ffghting went on. The police and em?
ployes *3? the packlng companies were
stoned, and at ono place when sTirrounded
by a dense crowd of men and women,
the police, fifty strong, under the com
mand of Lieutenant Collins, maddened
by numerous stones with which they had
been pelted, drew tlieir revolvers and
charged full Into the crowd, which
showed no disposition to retreat. Fists.
stones and clubs were brought into re
quisition by the strikers, and the police
used their batons and the butt ends of
their reVolvers freely. When this fight
was over there were a number of strik?
ers needing surgical attendance.
The fightirig began on the west side
shortly afterwards, and in different
parts of the city continued practically
all of tlie afternoon.
The most serious trouble occurred tri
the district. known in police circles as
"Little Hell." A detachment of police
was.escorting a number of wagons loaded
with meat aown town. A large crowd
followcd snouting and jeerlng. and now
and then sending a stone in the direc
tio of the men on the meat wagons. The
line of wagons was frequently stopped
by other teamsters. Finally ona team
ster refused to pull hl-'team out of the
way of the meat wagons, and the police
placed him under arrest. Then the figi...
commenced. In an instant a shower of
stones, mud and sticks' fell around and
upon the officers, bruislng some of them
badly. Lieutenant Collins ordered tho
march of the meat wagons to be stopped,
and at once charged the crowd. A large
number of women came up to the ald
of the strikers and were the fiercesc
fighters of the lot. One officer was
knocked down with a brick, and his
companions then drew clubs and made
war with such energy that in a lew
minutes the street was filled "i_ men
with bleeding hcads.
The mob was led by a large man who
came from the gas house near Crosby
Street. "ana who coritinually ca..ed to lus
followers to "kill the coppers first and
hang the scabs afterwards." Finally a
big policema-n got the man from the gas
house. and when it was over the leader
was carried off by his friends with his
head and face covered with blooi..
The crowd increased so rapidly that
Lieutenant Collins soon saw that his
men would be overpowered unless he
took ylgorous action at once.
He ordered the men to fall back slow
ly toward the wagons, and the crowd see
ing in this action a token ot" victory,
pressed Qn with shouts and the volleys
of stones came more thickly. The police
fell back until they had formed a eom
pact mass close to tho wagons, and then
at Collins' order they drew their revolvers
and charged the crowd once more. This
time the fight was more desperate than
before, and it was over in much less
time. The police struck down numbers
of men and used their clubs and revol
ver butts with energy, and in three min
utes the crowd was broken and in full
flight. Forming his men around the
wagons once more, Collins started on his
march. As soon as the police started
away, the mob formed again, and al
though at a respectful distance, they kept
after the wagons until they had reached
the barns at Halstead and Davidson. In
this fight about a dozen of the officers
were badly bruised and nearly all of them
bad clothing torn.
To-night another serious fight took
place at Twelfth and State. Streets, when
meat was being removed from the pack?
ing house plants by two retail firms. 'm6
strikers and their sympathizers removed
the nuts on the axles and cut the tracesT
They clambered Into the wagonsand
threw meat into the street. Finally af?
ter reserves had been called out the wag?
ons were rescued and driven to their des
tination. Six men were ? arrested and
taken with difficulty to a police station.
Scores of pollcemen have been detaileoT
to protect the packing plants and the
stores of those to whom meat has been
delivered.
George Froehling. a butcher, was
knocked down and his skull fractured
by a heavy missile. It is thought that
he will recover. It is said that' the pack?
ing companies have brought'into Chi?
cago several car loads of colored men,
and that tne men will be placed at work
to-morrow. If this is done it is thought
that thei-e may be an outbreak in tne
stock yards, and the police are preparing
to handle any trouble that may result.
During the fighting thirty-eigat prison
ers were taken by the police and locked
up.
THE CONTINENTAL COMPANY'S
REQUEST GRANTED BY COUNCIL
It is.Agreed That West Clay Street Shall Be Closed
in Order That a Factory Building May
Be Erected.
The city has decided to meet In every
particular the overtures of the Con?
tinental Tobacco Company in regard to
the closing of West Clay Street .bewcen
iowe and Lombardy. in order that the
company may have a sufflciently larga
area. ln one trat for the construction
of a great tobacco plant.
The Common Council last night by a
pratlcally unanamious vote decided to
grant this petition of the company The
Street Committee at a meeting yesterday
afternoon recommended it after full con
sideration by a vote of twelve to one.
The matter will come up in the meet?
ing of the Board of Aldermen on next
Tuesday.
It can be safely predicted that the
measure will pass this branch of tha
Council by a large majority. Major
by a large mljaoi lao lin.ytw taol nnn
Allen, Mr. Minor, and others of the most
conservative members of the Board are
earnestly and enthuslastically in favor
of the city's endeavoring to secure this
erterprise by this concession.
The magnitude of the proposed factory
is shown by the fact, that its output will
equal that of all the plug factorles now in
Richmond.
? "? The company proposes to put on the
rectangular area of two blocks, lt will
own two factories, one on Bowe Street
65f' feet long. and oae on Lombardy Street.
750 feet long. Fifteen hundred hands will
be emploved The area used for railroad
main buildings will be used for railroad
t_*3tcks
The city has lost nothir^r by closing
the street, as lt ls not used at this time,
and can never become a thoroughfare, as
lt fs stopped and blocked by the railroad
shops one square beyond.
The zeal and energy of President Cabell,
of th* Chamber of Commerce. and his
associates have received the most favor

The Sentiment Among Directors fe
to Change Form of MemoriaF.
CAN REJCET ALL DESIGHS
Advisory Board Called in, Probably ft?
Suggest a Course That Will Pacify
All?Lively Session of Board.
The Decision To-Morrow.
Tho Davis Memorial Arch may never
be erected.
The sentiment against the arch ls grow
ing rapidly. and last night for tho first
time the opinion was expressed that tho
Board of Directors of the Monument
Association had the right to change tha
form of the memorial.
The bellef has been that the directors
were confmed to a choice of a design for
an arch, but it was stated last night
that the directors would certainly voto
on the question of whether or not they
havo the right to overrule the action of
the Wilmington meeting of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and select
any form of a memorial they mayj de
sirs.
The Monument Association, sald Mrs.
McCullough, its president. last night. ls
chartered under the laws of Virginia
to erect a monument to Mr. Davis. and
while in a sense a part of the organlza
tion of the Daughters it is also in a
measure independent of lt. Mrs. McCul?
lough also stated that the directors could
reject all the designs. if desirable.
THE MEETING TO-DAY.
The directors will meet this rnorning
at 11 o'clock at the Confederate Muse?
um. Mrs. McCullough presiding. After
hearing reports from the officers and tha
transaction of routine business. the board
will adjourn to the Senate Chamber at
the Capitol. where the ladies will see tho
eight designs that have been received.
This will bo their first peep at them.
Nothing will be decided. however. until
u*ey see them again to-morrow. Tho
board will spend conslderable time to
morrow discussing the models and hear
ing from the artists. and at 1 o'clock their
decision regarding what they will do will
be* announced. At that hour the doors
of the Senate Chamber will be opened to
the public.
As well as it can bo learned. the sltua
tion is this: The United Daughters of
the Confederacy decided on an arch.
Mrs. Davis was not consulted. not at
least directly so. When asked her opin?
ion by a newspaper man. she said she
was opposed both to the form of tho
memorial and its location. at Twelfth and
tBroad Streets. Many of the .chapters oC
the V. D. C. were opposexi also to the arcli.
A large number of the directors of tho
Monument Association are also found now
to bo opposed to the arch. No "One knew
last night whether a majority of those
who are here are in favorof lt or opposed
It all depends on that.
Those who favor Iettlng Mrs Davis
wi^heo be supreme are. it is thought.
likely to win. It is possible that a com?
promise may be reached Mrs McCuI
lough said she really could not tell what
would be done. but as the newspaper
