Paul Kruger, former president of the
South African Republic, landed at Mar

ing from telegraphic reports. it may be
said that Mr.. Kruger was borne Oh an ir-
resistiblc wave Of enthusiasm from the
landing stage to his hotel. The broad
streets and boulevards through which the

by the unanimous desire to welcome the

sentativcs. including DIR. Leyds and
Messrs. Fischer and Vessels, Il storm of
cheering broke and never ceased until
Mr.. Kruger entered his hotel. Even then
a vast concourse OF people remained i'll
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 hoarse with
shouting.
Replying to the address of welcome of
the presidents OF the Paris and Mar
seilles committees, Mr.. Kruger spoke in
Dutch and in n 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:

A party of Nome miners, headed by
Frank Walters. discovered very rich plac-
ers at Cape Dyer, 300 miles north of

KILLS TRANSPORTATION BOARD.
Nebraska Supreme Court Nullifies the Act
CIeatinE the Body.

The Nebraska State board of transpor-
tation will so out of existence in forty
days as a result of a decision handed
down hy the Supreme Court. The court,
in an opinion written by Chief Justice
Norval and concurred i'll by the other
two justices. declares the act creating
the board unconstitutional and inopera-
tive. The action that brought about the
decision was that of Attorney General
Sinyth against the Burlington and North
western railroads to enforce an order
of the board for lower live stock and
grain rates. The defendant roads qucs-
toned the jurisdiction of the board on
the ground that there were defects IN the
law creating il, and their demurrer Is s'is-
tained. The decision was wholly unlock
ed for and has caused sensation. The
State board of transportation was estab-
lished at the legislative session of 1888.
1t is composed of five State officers, who
in turn appoint their secretaries, upon
whom devolves all the work. The salary
of each secretary is $500 year. and
the positions are eagerly sought for.

Coppe's Pen Picture.


Gen. Henry Coppee has drawn q yeh
picture Of General Grant as he was
when he received the appointment as
lieutenant general of the armies of the
United States. He says:
He was not quite 43 years of age, Of
medium height, and strong, well knit
frame. His appearance at first sight is
not striking. Careless of dress and
with no grandeur of air or imposing
carriage, he would not attract casual
observer in crowd. but a study of his
face, while cOnversing with him, would
satisfy physiognomist, even without a
knowledge of his history, that he is no
ordinary man.
His hair Is full, brown, worn short.

This declaration which Mr.. Kruger
made dispelled at once any impression
that he intends to accept compromise
from the British government. His an
nouncement was greeted with roar of
cheers and cries of ''Vive Kruger" "Vive
les Boers," .'Vive la liberte."
Mr. Kruger received delegations from
various municipalities and societies in
the hall Of the hotel. This proved to be
severe trial. as he had to listen to a
couple of hours eloquent but to him un-

left the hall visibly fatigued. He retired
