KRUGER COMES FOR PEACE
BoERs HOPE TO FIGHT UNTIL He CAN MAKE TERMS FOR THEM
IN EUROPE.

: New York, Nov. 22.-According to the
London correspondent of the tribune,
explanations offered by Mr.. Wesseis and
other Boer leaders at Marseilles that
Mr.. Kruger is landing in France as a
peacemaker, bent upon averting further
bloodshed in South Africa, is indirectly
confirmed by Lord Roberts. His official
account of dozen petty skirn. ishes
and outpost affairs shows that the Beers
are making a systematic attempt to
demonstrate that hostilities Of some
kind are still in progress. The single
success Of the recent defeat of an out
post of the Bluffs" offers no warrant for
the belief that Mr.. Kruger's applications
for interventions will be considered in
1aris or any othe capital. even II De
Yet, as reported, has carried guerrilla

government. he spoke Of the war as ter
rible and barbarously conducted by the
British. He said:
II have fought with the savages, but
the present war is even worse. We will
never surrender. We are determined to
fight to the last extremity, and il the re-
publics Of the Transvaal and Orange
Free State lose their independence it will
be because they lost every man, woman
and child.'
This declaration which Mr.. Kruger
made dispelled at once any impression
that he intends to accept a compromise
from the British COVE rnment. His an
nouncement was greeted with rear Of
cheers and cries OF Vive Kruger" ''vive
lie Boers," "Vive la liberty"
The scene at the landing place was an
animated one. The decks of all the
steamers in the Lyons basin were
crowded with sight seers The crowd
swelled to great proportions as the news
spread through the city that the Gelder-
land had entered the harbor. A cold
northwest wind which set in during tho
night cleared away yesterdays clouds
and the morning broke fresh but with
bright sunshine. The inner harbor was
all the gayer for the decorations Of q
number of French vessels which arriv-
ed yesterday covered with multi-colored
flags and pennants, among which Boer
flags were prominently displayed.
The Gelderland, was sighted several
miles out at sea, and DR.. Leyds and
Messrs. Fischer and Vessels, an inter-

launch and boarded her A conference
between the Boer leaders ensued while
the Gelderland was slowed down behind
the island Of the Chateau diff. She re-
mained there until 10 a. M, when she
steamed into the outer harbor firing a
salute of twenty-one guns, to which a
shore battery replied.

Marseilles, Nov. 22.-Paul Kruger, form
er president of the South African repub-
lie landed here at 1O:45 a. m.
Mr.. Kruger cannot but be elated at the
warmth of his reception by the people of
Marseilles today. He may be said to
have been borne on an irresistible wave
of enthusiasm from the landing stage to
his hotel. The broad streets and bOule-
wards through which the rOute'lay pre-
sented a perfect sea of human beings, all
gathering there prompted by the unani-
nous desire to welcome the aged Boar
statesman. From the moment the white
twelve cared baree left the side Of the
Gelderland with Nj. Kruger, who ap-
peared to be in good health, sitting In her
stern, surrounded by the Boer represen-
tatives, including DR.. Leyds and Messrs.
Fischer and Vessels, a storm of cheers
broke and never ceased until Mr.. Kru-
ger entered his hotel. Even then q 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, acknowledging
the acclamations of his thousands Of ad-
mirers, who continued cheering until
they were hoarse with shouting.
Replying to the storm of acclamations,
from the solid thousands of enthusiastic
people, Mr.. Kruger said the warm recep-
tion given him today would do much to
soothe the wounds in his heart. The
Boers, he added. will never sacrifice their
freedom. They will rather be extermin-
ated to the last man.
Replying to the addresses Of welcome
of the presidents of the Paris and Mar
settles committee, Mr.. Kruger spoke in
Dutch and in low voice, accompanying
his words with energetic movements OF
the hat which he held in his right hand.
After thanking the committees for the
warmth of the reception accorded him,

If the Boer tactics are becoming more
desperate, John Bulls heart is also
hardening. The ministry, triumphantly
returned by the country, could not stand
a single day if any concessions were
made to Kruger. General Kitchener,

and is Said to Have Made a
Good Margin.

A single cattle trade involving cash
running up into six figures has been
made by M. X. Parsons, the well-known

head of the famous Sparks herd to
change hands, the purchased being Char
ley Price Of Fort Benton. Montana.
Mr.. Parsons, while admitting that the
deal had been made, declined to give any
figures. but at the prices that CRITTERS
have been bringing lately. it is known
that the price paid must have been con-
siderably over 500, 900. The sale was
consummated on Friday last. Twenty
five hundred out of the 5000 bunch are
yearling heifera. and the remainder e
year-old steers.

priced cattle before separating himself

AS to the outcome Of the investigation,
Mr.. Murray said that nobody could FORE
tell that. Both sides were confident. He
was of the opinion that no decision woull

congress.
