for warm cheering and the repetition of
the cries which have greeted him wher-
ever he has gone this week

WELCOMED IN BELGIUM.
AT Charleroi the stop on Belgian ter
hitory, rigorous police measures had
been taken to prevent the invasion of the
station, but the people were stronger
than the police, and rushed on the plat
! form and gave vent to their feelings
| in cries favorable to the Beers The
train stopped for 5 minutes, and Mr.
Kruger greeted the mass from the steps
! of the car.
AT Nanimur similar scene was en-
acted.

| Among this gathering We're number

1f1Jr
! members sang the Boer hymn While

around MI Kruger's saloon car, raising
deafening shouts of Live Kruger

thanks.

KRUGER IN COLOGNE.
COLOGNE, Dec. 1-Mr. Kruger arrived
here at 1870 o'clock. A great crowd lad
assembled and caused a dangerous crush
! No official reception had been arranged,
| and Mr. Kruger drove to the Cathedral
hotel, the crowo cheering as ne left the
station and as he drove along the route.
The absence of an official welcome is
said to have been due to neglect to Sc
cure an understanding with the imperial
court, which is necessary in the case of
visits of heads of states. Hence it is re-
ported that Mr. Kruger will probably not
go to Berlin at present.
NO BANQUETS FROM WILLIAM.
BERLIN, Dec An official OF the
foreign Office informed the correspondent
of the Associated Press today that it was
notified late yesterday evening that Mr.
o. Kruger will arrive here Tuesday. The
official admitted that Emperor Williams
travelling plans may prevent him from
seeing Mr.. Kruger.
LONDON, Dec. "A special dispatch
from Berlin says:
Mr.. Kruger has been advised that
Count Won Buelow, imperial chancellor,
will only exchange formal visits with
him; that political matters will not be
discussed, and that the proposed ban
quets will be abandoned.
While there is much sympathy and
curiosity to see Mr.. Kruger, there is no
chance of such a fJrore as occurred at
MaresiIles and Paris.
