Him OF His Feet.

Topeka, Kan, Nov 2.-Returning war
riors never received more royal welcome
home than that accorded to-day TO the
soldiers of Kansas famous fighting Twen-
tieth on its arrival from San Francisco.
Gen. Frederick Funston came in for the
lions share of the attention shown to the
officers and the little hero of Manila was
literally taken off his feet by his admir-
ers in their eagerness to display their re-
gard for him.
So many thousand people were on the
platform and the railroad tracks that the
train had to fairly crawl into the depot
Whistles screeched, cannon doomed,
dozens of bands played, and the cheers
were almost deafenng.
Ii was after A O'Clock when the parade
to the city began. At the state house Chief
Justice Doster, in brief speech intro
duced Gen. ]. K. Hudson, who, on be-
half of the people of Kansas, presented
the beautiful $1,000 sword to Gen. Funs-
ton.
In a short speech of acceptance, Gen
Funston said he predicted that in one
years time the Island of Luzon will be as
quiet as Massachusetts. Il return to Ma
Mia" said he, 'and unless / get sick or
disabled, l win not return until the war IL
over''
In the evening an elaborate banquet was
served in the new state library rooms to
the soldiers and officers Of the Twentieth
'The day closed with the most magnii-
cent display of fireworks ever given in the
states history.
Gen. Funston said in regard to the re-
ported suit for libel against Arch bishop
Ireland, that ne does not intend bringing
such action, but that he would push the
suit against the San Francisco Monitor.

Hope Town, Cape Colony. Nov 2.-Magis-

around Kimberley, and that all the roads
are strictly patroled.
He says he passed close enough to Kim
berley to see the searchlights and was in
formed that the defenders of Kimberley
were satisfied they could hold out, but
were wearied with the inactivity and hop
ed that relieving force would soon ar
rive.
Stories of Boer victories have spread rap

istrate Harmsworth estimates that over
half the Dutch residents of Bechuanalaud
