TRIP ACROSS FRANCE
It Was One Continuous OTation
All Day Long.
Much Hostile Feeling Toward
England 31anifested.
Paris, Nov. 24. Mr. Kruger arrived in
Paris at 10:40 this morning and was
given a magnificent reception. The
boulevards 'were crammed with vast
crowds.
Mr. Kruger" and party entered the train
at Dijon at 6:30 a. m. His saloon cars
were attached to the train Ie Luxe from
the Riviera to Paris.
In spite of the early hour a fair num
ber of inhabitants assembled on the
platform to cheer the departing states
man. Mr. Kruger uttered a few words
of thanks to the city for its splendid
welcome.
The train, only stopped once en route
at Laroche, where a deputation with
flags was waiting at the station to pre
sent Mr. Krutr with a warmly worded
address of admiration and sympathy for
the Boer cause. Mr. Kruger thanked
the deputation through his interpreter.
The crowd, which was of respectable
numbers ofr such a small town, gave the
distinguished traveler unstinted ap
plause Elsewhere along the route there were
the same scenes as yesterday. People
were waiting on the sides of the track and
on bridges and other points of vantage.
They waved their hats and cheered as
the train rushed past at highest speed.
Nearing Paris these gatherings grew
more frequent and of larger numbers,
until the train approached the termi
nus the Oare De Lyon here. Then a re
markable spectacle was presented. Not
only the windows but the roofs of the
houses commanding a view of the track
were covered with spectators. In addi
tion the railroad employes, engineers,
cleaners, porters and guards had clamb
ered on the trains lying on the side of
the tracks and at the coaling platforms
at every point where a glimpse only of
the train itself could be secured.
THE ARRIVAL
This, however, was merely a foretaste
of the spectacle which greeted Mr.
Kruger's eyes when the train steamed
into the station itself. Notwithstanding
stringent precautions to admit only
tieket holders, a large assemblage filled
the station, while through the open
doors could be seen a huge concourse of
people gathered in the court yard out
side. The mayor and municipal coun
selors, a number of senators, deputies,
army officers and reporters were mus
tered on the platform.
Mr. Kruger was to have passed
through the station hall, which had bee.i
specially arranged as a salon of honor,
being profusely decorated with flowers
ari where he was to be formally re
ceived by the mayor and municipal
councillors, but for some reason the
mayor welcomed him on the platform
instead, and Mr. Kruger. to the great
disappointment of those waiting in the
salon of honor, passed out through an
other door to the front of the station,
where a landau was drawn up.. Mr.
Kruger entered ths vehicle and was at
once driven off for his hotel amid en
thusiastic cheering, which followed him
along the whole route along the outer
boulevards, across the Place de la. Re
publique, which was a perfect sea of
spectators, and through the central
boulevards. He arrived at the Hotel
Scribe at 11:30 a m.
A large escort of mounted municipal
guards rode around Mr. Kruger's car
riage. Along the main boulevards the crowds
increased in size and as Mr. Kruger
reached the central portion of the city
the sidewalks were blocked and every
window was filled with sightseers. Trees
Tiad been climbed and boxes, chairs and
ladders were brought into use to per
mit a glimpse of the noted stranger.
"Within two blocks of the hotel the
streets were so crowded that progress
was impeded. The police precautions
were very stringent. A space extending
half a block from the hotel was cord
oned by rows of mounted Republican
guards, augmented by files of armed
municipal guards. Over the entire route
from the station to the hotel enthusiastic
dies greeted Mr. Kruger. Shout after
shout arose until there was a continu
ous roar of cheering. When the Boer
president reached the cleared area in
lront of the hotel the demonstration was
uproarious.
VIVE LES BOERS.
Mr. Kruger, bareheaded, bowed on all
Bides, while the air was rent with cries
of "Vive Kruger," "Vive les Boers."
Mr. Kruser quickly alighted from his
carriage and entered the hotel, but the
mass of spectators was not satisfied and
the people shouted, yelled and clapped
their hands in chorus until a window on
the balcony was opened and Mr. Kru
ger appeared. Then hats were again
thrown into the air 'and the shouting
was resumed with renewed vigor.
Handkerchiefs ard flags were waved and
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
pcene before the hotel continued for over
an hour. A body of studehts, bearing
flags, attempted to march past the hotel
but were stopped. Nothing daunted, the
students broke into cries and songs un
til Mr. Kruger again appeared in re
sponse to their demonstration, after
which he retired for luncheon.
A sight which stirred the feelings of
the crowd to the utmost was the ap
pearance on the balcony of the great
grandchildren of Mr. Kruger. waving
a Boer flag. The little ones were cheerel
to the echo, as, held aloft by a servant,
they unfurled the Boer colors.
Through all this fervid welcome the
anti-British sentiment did not appear.
The cries were confined to plaudits of
Mr. Kruger and the Boers. If there were
any shouts opposed to Great Britain
they were not heard in the tumult. So
direct had been the warnings of the
prefect of police, M. Lepine, to cause the
arrest of persons raising anti-British
shouts, and so omnipresent were the po
lice that any person desiring tot give ut
terance to anti-British sentiments wou'd
hardly have dared to do so- There was
but one incident having any semblance
of this sort. Opposite the hotel is an
English store, and on Its balcony stood
many spectators. When Mr. Kruger ap
peared on the balcony of the hotel some-

TRIP ACROSS FRANCE.
President Kruger Received a Continu
ous Ovation Along the Route.
Dijon, France, Nov. 24. Mr. Krugei
has become for the moment at least
the popular idol of the French. His
triumphant progress northward through
the country through Marseilles to Dijon,
has placed this beyond doubt. He met
with a tremendous reception in each
town along the route where the train
stopped, culminating in scenes of
frenzied enthusiasm here calculated to
turn the head of any man.
The population of Marseilles gathered
in thousands to escort him to the rail
road station and gave him a rousing
send off, while at Tarascon, .Avigon,
Valencia, Lyons, Macol and Dijon the
inhabitants who crowded the railway
stations made the rafters tremble with
enthusiastic shouts of "Vive Kruger,"
and "Vive Les Boers."
The demonstration was all the more
significant because it shows that the
fervid acclamations at Marseilles were
not merely an explosion of exuberance
on the part of the warm hearted ana
excitable populace of a sunny clime, but
sentiments shared with even greater
intensity by the usually less demonstra
tive and colder blooded inhabitants of
the northern provinces.
The warmth of the enthusiasm in
creased instead of decreasing, as might
have reasonably been expected from the
difference in character of the inhabit
ants of the provinces through which Mr.
Kruger passed, but one of the most im
portant phases of the demonstration
was the turn it took in an anti-British
direction. The few criminally foolish
English whose ill-timed levity at the
Hotel du Louvre in Marseilles exasper
ated the people in the streets there never
dreamed of the serious consequences of
their act. They sowed the wind, and to
day the English people are reaping the
whirlwind. The news of the supposed
insult to Mr. Kruger seems to have
spread across France and at all stations,
but especially at Lyons and Dijon
shouts for the Boers were mingled with
loud cries of "Down with the English."
Indeed, at Lyons the denunciations of
the English drowned the shouting for
the Boers. This is a disturbing feature
which is universally discussed. Fears
are expressed that tomorrow's reception
Paris may assume a character calcu
lated to arouse the feeling of Great
Britain against France to such an ex
tent as to result in unpleasant rela
tions between the two countries. The
warmth of the re-enthusiasm reached in
Marseilles yesterday palpably raised
the spirits of Mr. Kruger and his ad
visers to a high pitch. The faces of Dr
Leyds, Mr. Fischer and others which on
the eve of the arrival of Mr. Kruger
revealed the anxiety they felt regarding
his reception, were today lightd up with
happiness and confidence. Evidently
hope had revived in all that his mis
sion to Europe wrould be crowned with
success.
Mr. Fischer spoke to Mr. Kruger re
garding the visit of the Boer envoys to
the United States and told him of the
reception and welcome they had receiv
ed there from the American people. Ho
expressed himself grateful to know that
so many Americans had expressed sym-

Efforts to Solve the Chinese
Problem oi Present Lines
Are So Regarded by the British
Cabinet.
WEAK KNEED POLICY
That of the United States Is So
Characterized.
No Trouble With Colombia Is
Anticipated.
London, Nov. 24. The pessimism re
flected by the Washington specials deal
ing with China finds a keen echo in
Great Britain's cabinet. The gloomy
foreboding that the United States will
be compelled to withdraw from the con
cert of the powers is only one of the
causes of this feeling, for the British
ministers are now inclined to believe the
present lines of negotiation, can not re
sult satisfactorily.
"The United States," said an official
of the foreign office to a representative
of the Associated Press, "can not be any
more anxious than England to get out
of the China muddle. The cabinet min
isters are reluctantly coming to believe
that the endeavors to compel China to
punish individual offenders are merely
waste of time. Death by edict is a farce
and a fairy tale. The powers' forces
now in China are utterly inadequate to
overrun the country and enforce their
demands. England has no intention of
augmenting her troops to such an ex
tent as will be necessary if the Euro
peans themselves undertake to inflict
punishment. It looks very much as if
we shall all have to climb down. The
only question is how can it be done with
the best dignity and under circum
stances giving the most satisfactory re
sults. "The policy of indefinite decimation,
which, the American Journals seem to
attribute to Germany, is not in the
slightest shared by Great Britain. This
view is not of a majority of the British
press, who without taking pains to find
out the inner opinion of the cabinet, gen
erally condemn what they are pleased to
call the "weak-kneed policy of Amer
ica." The seizure of the British steamer
Taboga by the Colombian government
officials at Panama is not regarded se
riously here. The British gunboat
Pheasant will investigate the matter,
and in due 'course of time Colombia will
be asked for an explanation. But the
affair is not likely to produce any strik
ing developments.
The request of the United States am
bassador, Mr. Joseph Choate, for the
suppression of the Filipino junta at
Hong Kong has been put in the hands
of the colonial office. It will probably
take some weeks to ascertain the facts
with doubtful results. An official said:
"Hong Kong of course, is part of a
free country and we cannot take too ar
bitrary steps, even to please America.
Most of -the international plots are
hatched right here in London; but we
are quite powerless to suppress them."
The persistent reports that Sir Alfred
Milner, the British high commissioner in
South Africa, will be invalided home
permanently, are groundless. He will be
afforded a holiday, as soon as feasible.
He is the last man the government eon
templates withdrawing from South Af
rica and the state of his health by no
means justifies the rumors.
London's new lord mayor, Mr. Frank
Green, takes a very radical and friendly
view of the American invasion of the
city's finance, trade and transportation.
"It is merely a matter of utilitarian
Ism," he said to a representative of the
Associated Press.
"American capital is bound to improve
business here and it is welcomed warm
ly anything tending to bring the two na
tions the most good, even though it may
appear to result only to the advantage
of one of them. Together, England and
America are more powerful in every
way than the rest of the world.
"Regarding placing government loans
in America, patriotism, naturally, com
pels me to say English flnancers should
have the first chance; but, if Americans
give better terms, why, let them have
them by all means. All things being
equal. I see no reason why America
should not be allowed to subscribe to
the loan which is likely to be asked for
at the resumption of parliament and if
by open competition she can secure the
bulk I am sure no hard feelings will ex
ist in the city."
Hot on the heels of Mr. Chas. T.
Yerkes' underground railroad scheme
come the announcements of so many
projected roads that London may be
said to have become the victim of the
tube mania. If all the companies are
allowed to operate half of London would
be undermined. Parliamentary sanction
will be applied for in the case of no less
than ten electric tubes, necessitating
the deposit of 5.000,000 as parliament
ary guarantee. It is likely that several
of these will never materialize; but, as
Mr. D. H. Lauterbach who is here in the
interest of Mr. Yerkes, points out there
is no reason why London should suffer
from lack of transportation facilities,
when capital is going begging and the
electrical science of the world is at its
beck and call.
Mr. Albert Johnson of New York
is interested in an entirely different
scheme. His interest lying in the direc
tion of suburban surface traction, espe
cially in Manchester and Liverpool and
the large cities of the north, where he
is acquiring important concessions.
The announcement that Mr. Francis
Howard, the son of Mrs. T. P. O'Connor
by a previous marriage, is representing
the leading artists in his visit to the
United States in order to induce the
United States government to establish
a national art gallery, appears to be
premature. The Daily Chronicle says:
"He has, it is true, asked Messrs. Sar
gent and Whistler whether a national
gallery had their approval, and both
made an obvious affirmative reply. But
there is no question of an agency and
hardly one of an advocacy of national
galleries, in the sense of international
galleries, which the leading cities of
America already have, and a purely pa
tritic collection of which Benj. West's
would be flanked byWhistler's would not
be particularly exhilirating."
Two dukes will soon arrive in the
Trited States, the Duke of Manchester
and his bride, who, with Mr. Kruger,
has divided the honrs of the week in
public interest, and the Duke of New
castle, who sails December 6. The lat
ter intends to spend a few months in
Florida, returning in April. He will not
be accompanied by the duchess.

San Francisco, Nov. 24. The British
ship Yarana is now 15o days out from
Santa Rosalia for Iquique, where she
was to load a nitrate cargo for San
Francisco. Seventy per cent, reinsur
ance is being paid on her.
The ship Prince Victor is now out 99

feared has caught fire. Forty per cent,
is offered to reinsure the vessel.
The Rathdown is now out 53 days
from Yokohama for' Portland, and 10
per cent, is being paid on her, while the
Sofala is out 46 days from Yokohama,
and the Westage 71 days from Hong
Kong, bound for this coast. On both
vessels 15 per cent, reinsurance Is being
paid. The fear for all the fleet now in
the southern seas is caused by the news
of a terrific hurricane that has swept
Samoa, Hawaii and Japan.
A MEWJpJBLIC.
It Has Been Established in In
terior of South America.
Chicago, Nov. 24. A Chronicle special
from Denver, says:
Henry W. Phillips, the first minister
to the United States from the New
South American republic of Acre, regis
tered here from Arieopolis. "Arieopolis,"
said Mr. Phillips, "is the capital city of
the republic of Acre, the 'First republic'
we like to call it by way of variation,
and some call us the rubber republic. I
dare say the nationality is not widely
known, being new and to secure formal
recognition on the part of the United
States is in fact my mission. I believe
this is the first time that Arieopolis has
been written on any American hotel reg
ister; for I did not stop at San Francisco
on my arrival from South America, be
ing tn a hurry to be at Washington be
fore the opening of congress."
The Chronicle in reference to the
above says:
During the past 15 months a new re
public known by the name of Acre hus
sprung up in the forest country lying
partly in Brazil and party in Bolivia. It
has been established by a rich Brazilian
banker and rubber dealer named Aries,
who has sent himself up as president of
a community of about 20.000 people, all
of whom are in his employ. Demonstra
tions have been made against the little
country by both Bi-azil and Bolivia.
TRUSTS HERE TO STAY.
Their Friend Says Presidential
Election Settled It.
New York, Nov. 24. Charles R. Flint,
in the course of an address before the
Outlook club at Mont Clair, N. J., re
ferred to trusts as follows:
"This new consolidation has come to
stay. Let no young man think other
wise. That fact was settled in our re
cent presidential election. The trust is
here for good and under the new system
that it brings in business, increased in
telligence and mental acumen are de
manded of the business men. It may
therefore be that a collegiate education,
with' the mentail training it involves,
will in the future be of greater import
ance than it was the past to the busi
ness man. In a measure this has per
haps been already shown.'
Missionary Aotivity.
Washington, Nov. 24. Missionary ac
tivity in the Philippines is indicated by
a recent report received at the war de
partment which says that Rev. J. C.
Goodrich, the agent of the American
Bible society in Manila, has established
headquarters there and Is busily en
gaged in distributing the scriptures in
native dialect among the varion-i is
lands. Dr. Goodrich is now woriin? on
other translations of the GospeS into
Vizayan, Cebu-Vizayan, Ilocano and
Pampango. The natives are said to re
ceive the reading matter of this sort
with great eagerness.
In Place of the Plunger.
Washington, Nov. 24. The navy de
partment today entered into a contract
with the Holland Submarine Boat com
pany for the construction of a boat of
the type of the six heretofore contract
ed for, to replace the Plunger, the com
pany agreeing to take the Plunger off
the hands of the government and to
build in her place the best type of mod
ern submarine boat for the sum of $170,
000, refunding to the government the
sum of $4,365 which represents other ex
penses to which the government has
been subjected.
- Small Damage Given.
Atchison, Kan., Nov. 24. The $10,000
damage suit of J. A. Hennigh against ex
Sheriff Hartman, which has attracted so
much attention, was settled today. The
jury returned a verdict-of $1'0 damages.
Hennigh was arrested by Hartman while
he was sheriff, upon the charge of insan
ity. The damages merely cover the attor
ney's fees which Hennigh was obliged to
pay to secure his release from- the in
sanity charge.
Permission to Strike.
Indianapolis. Ind.. Nov. 24. President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of
America, today granted 2.000 miners of
Hopkins county, Kentucky, permission
to strike. They are thoroughly organized
and will demand higher wages. Organ
izer Evans left today for West Virginia
to organize the state sufficiently, if pos
sible, to justify its being brought into the
competitive field.

Berlin, Nov. 24. The semi-official
Berliner Post demands that the fifth

the funds for which were long ago

it."

STANDS AT.
Turkey Continues Firm in Her
Refusal
To Grant an Exequatur For a
Consulate at Harfoot.
MR. GRISC0M CALLS
On the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs For Action.
But His Efforts Have So Far
Proved Unavailing.
Constantinople, Friday, Nov. 24. Uni
ted States Charge d'Affaires - Griscom
called upon Tewfik Pasha, minister for
foreign affairs, yesterday, to urge a set
tlement of the difficulty in relation to
the granting of an exequatur to Dr.
Thomas H. Norton, who some time ago
was appointed by President McKinley to
establish a consulate at Harpoot. The
porte however, is firm in its refusal to
grant the request for an exequatur.
NO MENACE INTENDED.
New York, Nov. 24. Trustworthy In
formation has been received from Con
stantinople by the London correspond
ent of the Tribune, that the reports that
an American battleship will call at
Smyrna on her way to the far east and
that there will be something like a na
val demonstration for the purpose of in
fluencing the Turk are entirely un
founded and no menace of this kind is
intended. It is expected in official cir
cles at Constantinople that the Ameri
can claim for indemnities for damages
to mission stations in Armenia will be
settled by the Turkish government as
soon as a practical method is found for
discharging those liabilities without es
tablishing a precedent for other coun
tries. The Turkish government is anx
ious to get rid of the American claims,
but is bent upon doing it without com
mitting itself to the general principle of
responsibility for the outrages which oc
curred in Armenia and elsewhere. An
adjustment of the American claims will
be brought about in the course of next
year, it seems, and no naval demonstra
tion will be required for enforcing it.
News comes also from- Constantinople
that an agent of the Cramps has been
attempting to negotiate a contract for
the construction of a Turkish warship
in an American shipyard, and that Mr.
Carnegie's firm has not succeeded in ob
taining a large contract for the project
ed road from Syria to Medina and
Mecca.
THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
New York, Nov. 24. Oscar S. Straus,
minister to Turkey, declines to say any
thing about, the Porte's action, in re
fusing an exequatur for a United
States consul at Harpoot, declaring that
all comment should come from the state
department.
Another American, who has spent
years in the diplomatic service, said:
"The Turkish authorities look with
jealousy upon the appointment of con
suls to interior points in the empire, es
pecially when, as in the present case, the
United States wishes to send a consul
to a point where it has not had a con
sul before.
"The reason, perhaps, why the Turk
ish authorities more specifically object
to the appointment of a consul at Har
poot is that it was at Harpoot where
the American missionary property was
destroyed during the Armenian troubles,
on the loss of which our claims for in
demnity are based.
"America has no commerce at Har
poot. Its interests there are only mis
sionary, as in that city is located the
Euphrates college, besides several mis
sion schools, and it is a center for the
American missionaries. But it can be
reasonably claimed by our government
even if we have little or no commerce
there now, that we may want to culti
vate it, especially as a number of our
citizens are resident there. Heretofore
such consular business as the United
States has had at Harpoot has been con
ducted by the British vice consul there."
BURIES HIS PAST.
Duke of Manchester Starts For
JJ. S. Full of Hope.
London, Nov. 24. The last person to
board the American line train for
Southampton at the Waterloo station
this morning was the duke of Manches
ter who had a great deal of baggage
to attend to and was just in time to
jump into his compartment as the train
moved out of the station. The ducai
party, including the three Misses Evans,
aunts of the bride, arrived in cabs a
quarter hour before the train started.
Simultaneously with them came Sheriff
Lawrence's state carriage. The public
and railway officials mistook the latter
for the conveyance of the duke and
duchess and their cabs passed almost
without notice.
The duke was attired In a blue flan
nel suit with tan shoes and shaggy
Scotch traveling cap and the bride wore
a long astrakan cloak.
The duke and duchess had their first
interview yesterday with the dowager
duchess who was quite ill. Their re
ception was most cordial, and in the
evening there was a family dinner at
the home of Mrs. Lister-Kaye, aunt of
the duke. "
The duke explained that the ceremony
in the Alarylebone church was regarded
more in the light of a legal contract
than as a wedding, which it was expect
ed would be more fully solemnized at
St. Thomas, New York.
'We are both glad, said he. "to re
turn to the United States, and I am
confident everything will be satisfac
torily arranged. I am sailing by the
American line, you see, for I must now
pattern after the Americans and a very
good pattern J. nave always iouna it.
Our plans depend upon Mr. Zimmer
man's arrangements. I iiope to go to
Cincinnati and then to Florida or
California and to return here In Feb
ruary. I sever myself from the past
without regret and start for the United
States full of hope for the future."

Studying the Question.

Death Penalty May Act as a

His Idea of Why It Should Ho
Considered.
Kansas Has Over 40 Convicts
Sentenced to Hang.
Governor Stanley will, in all probabil
ity, recommend in his message to tho
legislature, the restoration of capital
punishment, which means death by
hanging. In Kansas.
Mr. Stanley has not fully made up his
mind on this subject at this time, but he
is inclined to look with favor upon tiie
restoration of the statute providing the
death penalty for criminals.
There are now in the Kansas peniten
tiary about 40 prisoners under sentence
of death, which in Kansas, Is now life
imprisonment.
Governor Stanley is making now a
study of the subject, his main purpose
being to ascertain the relative statistics
in states where capital punishment is
imposed.

this way," said the governor today. "If
capital punishment tends to lessen mo'
violence, then-it is worthy of considera
tion. "On the other hand, if the statistics
which 1 am collecting should show more
examples of mob law and executions by
mobs in states where capital punish
ment exists, the system will not com
mend itself to my consideration, so far
