KRUGER is GREETED
LIKE A CONQUERER
BY GAY PARISIANS

The warmth Of enthusiasm reached
has palpably raised the spirits OF Mr..
Kruger and his advisers to a high
pitch. The faces of DR.. Leyds. Mr..
Fischer and others, which on the eve
of the arrival of Mr.. Kruger, revealed
the anxiety they felt regarding his
reception, are today lighted up with
happiness and confidence. Evidently,
hope has revived in all that his mis-
sion to Europe will be crowned with
success.
At Dion. Department Of Cote-d'Or,
whore President Kruger spent the
night, he was greeted on his arrival
with the same enthusiasm as shown by
the people of the other cities OF France
which he had passed through since his
arrival, and the oyations were repeat
ed this morning on his journey from
Dejon to Paris.
President Kruger, since landing in
France, has shown himself an astute
diplomat. His telegram TO President
Loubet, in which he declared that his
first act was to salute the head of the
French republic" showed mis- determi-
nation to avoid party politics. The
final blow, however, was given when
Armand Grebauval, president Of the
Nationalist Municipal Council and at
this moment candidate in the Mar
seilles District for an anti-Ministerial
seat in the Chamber, invlled President
Kruger to "be a guest at the City Hall
during his Paris visit" Kruger made
this diplomatic answer: Though very
deeply touched with your invitation,
must beg to be excused from giving an
answer yet, until, as head Of a state,
shall have paid my respects to the
head OF the French nation"
