Paris, Nov. 27.-Paris, while giving
full vent to her pent-up feelings OF
sympathy with and admiration of the
Beers in it's reception to Mr.. Kruger
Saturday, comported herself with wis
dom and prudence. While a few iso-
lated instances of anti-British vocifer-
atoms were unavoidable, never once
throughout the day was there any
semblance of an organized demonstra-
ton against Great Britain to mar the
unrestraiDed and enthusiastic but es-
sentially r~eassuring character Of the
reception. BY the time the train was
due to arrive all the places OF vantage
about the railroad station and hotel
were packed for a distance of o a
block. The crowd on the platform
pressed so closely about Mr.. Kruger's
saloon car that for a time he was I'M
able to alight, and stood on the foot
board ~bareheaded, acknowledging the
plaudits of his admirers.
NJ. Crozier, chief of the ~protocole,
advanced and bid Mr.. Kruger welcome
in the rame OF President Loubet and
the French government. Mr.. Kruger
bowed his thanks. Mayor GrebauVol
then greeted Mr.. Kruger in behalf or
the municipality OF Paris and the pres
ident of the pro-Boer committee and
| others presented the aged ravele witt:
addresses of welcome, to which MI.
Kruger replied.
Upon reaching the hotel Mr.. Kruger
was taken to the first story in an ele-
vator. The crowd Immediately in
sisted upon his coming upon the bal
cony. Mr.. Kruger appeared bowling,
accompanied by his great g~randdaugh-
ter, dressed in white and waving a
little Boer flag, which brought forth a
storm Of cheers and a responsive wav-
ing of Boer flags by a group of stu
dents who wore cockades. At this
moment several persons shouting
give Kruger!" attracted attention by
their English accent. The bystanders
turned toward them. looking ugly,
when one of the men cried, 1--WE are
Americans" and the attitude OF the
crowd changed like magic, and they
exclaimed "Vive Amerique!"
Later In the day Mr.. Kruger and
President Loubet exchanged formal
calls. Mr.. Kruger's secretary an
nounc that his chief will remain in
France only a short time, going thence
TO Holland, where he will make an
equally brief stay. after which he will
return to the Mediterranean for the
benefit Of his health.
Mr.. Kruger passed Sunday with his
family at the Hotel Scribe, observing
the Sabbath in accordance with the
customs of his fatherland. His apart
ments were closed to visitors and he
remained within, indulging himself
with perfect rest.
Although the b~oulevards at a late
hour last night were alive with merry

POWERS NOW AGREE,
A Preliminary Treaty Has Been
Finally Framed,

Pekin, Nov. 27-At a meeting Sat-
urday OF the ministers Of the allied
powers an agreement was reached
upon the terms of the preliminary
treaty. Nothing now remains except
to secure the approval of the respective
governments before definite measures
on the Chinese peace treaty are begun.
The terms are believed to be in sub
stantial agreement with the French
note to the powers, namely, punish
ment of guilty, indemnities to govern
ments and individuals, retention OF
strong legation guards and the occupa-
ton Of certain places between Pekin
and Taku. M. de Giers, the Russian
minister, persisted in his refusal to
agree to the provision that China
should agree to pay an indemnity for
the outrages committed by the Boxers
and give guarantees against their rep
etition. The British and German gov
ernments had made no change in the
instructions to their minister's, and 1t
appeared as though no agreement
could be reached. A
Compromises Was Suggested
In the wording Of the point. This was
adopted and q satisfactory agreement
was reached. Tt is understood that the
change is simply I'm the wording and
does not affect the meaning OF the pro-
vision. The ministers determined the
future boundaries of the legation
grounds. The matter was discussed
and settled SO far as the ministers are
concerned. Their decision, however, Is
subject to the approval of the military
authorities, who will look over the
limits agreed upon and decide II. the
grounds as proposed by the ministers
Will be easy to defend. II they decide
that there are military objections the
boundaries will be changed. A party
of American cavalry went to dispense
a band OF bandits in a village, sixteen
miles from Pekin. The village yyas
found strongly fortified, but the Ameri-
cans attacked and captured 1t, killing
Chinese.

According to the results OF studies by
Prof. A. E. Verrill the beautiful Ber-
muda Islands are merely the remnant
OF an island, very much larger than
the present entire group, but which
has sunk in the ocean. The original
island had an area of 800 or 400 square
miles, whereas the Bermudas today are
only about twenty square miles in
area. Within a comparatively recent
period, says Prof. verrill. the Bermu-
das have subsidized at least so or 100
feet. Their base is the summit of an
ancient volcano. while their surface
Is composed of shell sand drifted into
hills by the wind and consolidated by
infiltration.
