five this morning President Kruger
landed from the cruiser Gelderland and
received vociferous ovation. After
much hand shaking the police made a
path to the carriages and the procession
started for the hotel The Boer presi-
dent occupied leading carriage and was
cheered wildly along the route.
MARSEILLEs, Nov. Alt was nine,

guns, to which the light house battery
replied. The streets aud quays presented
All animated scene, the decorations hav-
ing been restored. The Boer flag crossed
with tri-color predominating. There was
great jam Of people OH the quay with
the Boer delegates in the foreground who
joyously hailed the aged president.
When Kruger appeared the crowd cheer
ed madly and "Vive Kruger" sounded
in steady roar. Leyds went out to the
cruiser early and returned with the in
formation that the president would
not land till noon but the
committee protested, having waited al
ready thirty hours and were getting
tired, so Kruger was urged to make
haste
Upon landing Kruger made speech
thanking the French government for its
sympathy with the Transvaal govern
ment and the cordiality of his reception.
His remarks were generally cheered, but
ironical laughter at reference to the
French governments reception caused
temporary disturbance. Proceeding,
Kruger said:
"Since Jamison endeavored to conquer
the country without making fight
terrible war has been thrust upon us,
Notwithstanding our reiterated claim tor
arbitration, which had been refused by
England. The war is barbarous one
but we have been fighting barbarous
nation.''
Kruger then thanked the committe for
their good wishes and the people of Mar
seilles for their hearty reception. He ex-
pressed himself as profoundly touched by
the welcome of France, which was the
home of liberty. Referring again to the
Transvaal Kruger said their farms were
being burned and their wives hunted
from their homes while their husbands
were fighting OH the battle field. But
whatever was done the Beers would re-
sist to the bitter end. Messrs. Leyds.
Grabbler and Figher stood behind Kru-
ger while the speech was delivered.
Despite the great enthusiasm in town
there has been all eptire absence of anti
English demonstrations.
Kruger spoke i'll dutch, Won Hummer

Kruger appeared for moment at the
balcony and bowed to the crowds, who
continued cheering long after he disap-
peared.
Kruger granted an exclusive interview
to your correspondent at the Hotel De

Return of the PrOdigal.

| am gratitied to learn that many
OF the democrats who left the party
III 1896 have returned and announc-
ed their Intention of supporting the
ticket.
Some came back because they are
no longer under the spell of the dis
tlngulshed democrats who in 1896
used the political prominence and
prestige to lead away men who
trusted them. Some have returned
because they are convinced that the
Chicago platform principles represent
the best hope OF a large majority of
people
Some have returned because they
have come in contact with the trusts.
while Others have returned because
they believe that an imperial policy
threatens the very existence of a free
government.
They argue that mistakes made in
carrying out the Chicago platform
doctrines can be corrected il the doe
trine of self government is maintain
ed, but that any imperial policy, once
entered upon with the approval OF
