Warfare a. Most Barbarous.

Paul Kruger, former president of the
South African Republic, landed ut Mar
seilles, France, Thursday morning. Judg-
ing from telegraphic reports, it may he
said that MIR. Kruger was borne on an ir-
resistible wave of enthusiasm from the
landing stage to his hotel. The broad
streets and boulevards through which the
route lay presented perfect sea of hu-
man beings, all gathered there prompted
by the unanimous desire to welcome the
aged Boer statesman. From the moment
the white twelve-oarcd barge left the side
of the Gelderland with Mr.. Kruger, who
appeared to be in good health, sitting in
sentatives, including DIR. Leyds and
Messrs. Fischer and Vessels, a storm of
cheering broke and never ceased until
MIR. Kruger entered his hotel. Even then
vast cOncourse OF people remained in
front Of the building until Mr.. Kruger
appeared on the balcony, where he had
to remain for some time, uncovered, ac-
knowledging the acclamations of his
thousands Of admirers, who continued
cheering until they were hoarsc with
shouting.
Replying to the address of welcome of
Ihe presidents of the Paris and Mar
seilles committees, Mr.. Kruger spoke in
Dutch and i'll low voice, accompanying
his words with energetic movements of
his hat, which he held in his right hand.
After thanking the committees for the
warmth of the reception accorded him
and expressing gratitude for the sympa-
thy he had received from the French
government. he spoke of the war as ter
rible and barbarously conducted by the
British. He said:

The defeat Of William Jennings Bryan
at the recent election has led many Dem
ocrats to declare that there must be a
reorganization Of the party to insure its
continuance as one Of the great elements
Of American politics. Various plans are
suggested and many names are brought
forward Of probable leaders in the reha-
bilitation. In this talk of rebuilding by
the conservative wing of the party the
name Of Grover Cleveland figures most
prominently. The man who dominated
the party of jackson and jefferson from
1884 to 1896 still has host Of admirers
who believe that he can best formulate
policies for recognized Democracy,
and that under his leadership new vic
tories may be achieved.
