Tien Tsin, Nov. 26.-Transportation
by boat to Pelsin has ceased owing to

LONG LIVE Paul KRUGER.
He Enters MarseiIIes Like a Con-
quering Hero.
DOWN WITH THE ENGLISH"

Marseilles, France, Nov. 2L-The
landing of Paul Kruger and his recep-
ton by the populace was such as even
the Boer delegates and his most ardent
admirers failed to anticipate. The
delirium of enthusiasm which marked
every step of his progress from the
time he landed until the hotel
was reached was revelation
even to the people of Marseilles them
selves. 1t fully equalled if it did not
surpass the frantic demonstration OF
patriotism with which France opened
her arms to Major Marchand on his
return from Fashoda.
At one time procession several
thousand strong marched in the
direction of the British consulate,
shouting down with the English" and
raising other threatening cries. The
result was that strong body OF po-
lice was compelled to dispense the
demonstrations, although it was not
found necessary to make more than
few temporary arrests. Throughout
the evening, however, large bands of
students and other youths marched
up and down in front of Mr.. Kruger's
hotel and of the hotel which was the
scene of the unfortunate incident,
cheering in chorus for Mr.. Kruger and
the Transvaal and denouncing Eng
land.
At the banquet DR.. Leyds repre-
sented President Kruger, where all the
Boer officials and members of the pro-
Boer committees were present and
read the following message from him:
~ am fatigued and in mourning.
Moreover, l never attend banquets.
Otherwise should have liked to spend
few minutes with you and to thank
you. l shall never forget the warm
welcome l have had in your beautiful
city. Your reception of me has sur
passed all could have expected, even
from the city which gave France her
admirable national hymn, that MAR
sellaise" which is the song of all peo-
pie whose independence is threatened
and who are struggling against in
vaders."

The troops have brought in a number
of prisoners. The latter relate the
remarkable assurances they received
from Gen. DeWet a fortnight ago.
DeWet, they say, urged the burghers
to hold out till Dec. 10, when "All the
British were going home"
He added that the British had the
permission of Russia to fight for a year
only; that Queen Victotia was at Cape
Town, whittier she had fed to escape
the Chinese. who had captured half of
England; that Gen. Botha had driven
the British out of the Transvaal, that
Dewet himself was fighting in Cape
Colony, burning farms, and that Lord
Roberts, wounded by three bullets,
had been taken to Heilborn to die and
had been buried there beneath the

Give up the Hunt.

Leavenworth, Kans., Nov. 22.-The
officials of the state penitentiary have
given up the active search for Cravens
and Estell and all the guards have
been called off the trail. 1t is believed
the convicts succeeded in boarding a
freight train at or near Tonganoxie
and are far away. Samuel Smith, the
convict who was shot, died and was
buried in the prison cemetery. Had he
lived another day Sheriff Everhardy
would have served papers on him
notifying him that his wife had sued
for a divorce. Sheriff Everhardy call
ed up the warden to tell him of the
fact and was told to wait day when
Mrs. Smith would be widow.

UNCLE sam IS BUSINESS.
A Note Sent to Capitals of all the
AIlies--New Basis.
FOR FRESH NEGOTIATIONS.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The secretary
of state has addressed an identical note
to the powers interested in the Chinese
situation setting out tersely and afresh
the object of the United States govern
ment as to China and pointing out how
such objects as;are common to the pow
ers can best be secured. The note
marks the initiation of fresh negotia-
tions on our part on the arrangement
of new bases to tide over the impossible
situation created at the last meeting of
the ministers in Pellin. Some re-
sponses already are at hand and it is
stated that generally our advances
have been well received and the state
department expresses satisfaction with
tho progress so far achieved. 1t is be-
lieved that the note is an appeal from
the extreme course suggested by some
of the powers as to the treatment OF
China, especially in the matter of pun
isbments and indemnities to which the
ministers at Pekin seem inclined. The
intent is to push the negotiations on
o more rational and business like basis.

why Procure New Seed Wheat.

Topeka, Nov. 24.-The statement
issued some time ago by f. D. Coburn,
secretary of the Kansas department of
agriculture containing the opinion of
millers and wheat growers over the
state upon the ACCESSIBILITY of import
ing new seed wheat from Russia has
been misconstrued. Mr.. Coburn gave
out the following statement explaining
the matter:
kansas is not compelled to send to
Russia for cargo of seed wheat owing
to deterioration of Kansas grain yet
many of our most observant wheat
growers think it might be an excellent
thing to keep the high character of
our winter wheat reinforced by i'm
portations of seed from the original
source of supply-the Crimea, and parts
of Russia near the Black sea- The
Kansas winter wheat which SO disturbs
the equilibrium of the northwestern
millers is from this Russian seed.
"There has been no complaint from
the outside of any deterioration what
ever"

Proposed State Salt Plant.

Topeka, Nov. 22.-The recent jump
in the price of salt has caused talk of
establishing salt plant at the Hutch
inson state reformatory to be operated
by the prisoners as the binding Irvine
plant is operated by penitentiary con-
victs at Lansing.
Gov. Stanley said he would favor
anything designed to break the mo-
nopoly of trust, but at the same time
he questioned the wisdom of the state
going into SO many enterprises, but
that it may be wise to go up against
the salt trust.

be needed before the jury could be
selected. "This case" said he, lis so

Paul KRUGER'S ERRAND.
All France Goes Wild Over The
TransvaaI Refugee.
WILL ASK FOR MEDIATION.

Dion, France, Nov. 26.-Paul Kruger
was received at all points on his jour
ney toward Paris with great demon
STATIONS, both by official, soldiers and
the multitudes.
At points passed through infantry
and cavalrymen on foot drew up near
the roadside, whirled their hats around
their heads and gave the military
salute. The most remarkable demon
stration along the route occurred at
Lyons station as the train slowed down
on entering the town, the windows and
roofs of houses in view were seen to be
occupied by people. When it stopped
in the wide lofty station every inch
was covered with a concourse of thou
sands who sent up mighty shouts of
''Long Live Kruger" and Down with
the English" Again and again the
rafters resounded with the plaudits for
the Beers and the anti-English cries.
1t was memorable scene. The people
swarmed on the tops and roofs of the
train and even clambered on the loco
motive. Many chung to the gas lamps
and here also few climbed to the roof
of Mr. Kruger's car.
A noteworthy feature in the crowd
at Lyons station was the presence of
number of French officers in uniform,
who joined heartily in the cheering.
Brussels, Nov. 26.-The Soir says
that Mr.. Kruger on his arrival at The
Hague will ask for mediation and if
unsuccessful he will name public all
the documents of state in his posses
sion showing the secrets of the war.
The paper adds that Mr.. Kruger be-
lieves that when Europe knows the
truth it will produce such an outburst
of public opinion that Great Britain
will be compelled to be less harsh.
The Soir adds that, falling this, Mr..
Kruger will return to the Transvaal.

TRIBAL TAX UPHELD.
Choroisees VIII Ask to Withdraw Treaty
with United States.


Muskogee, /. T., Nov. 26.-The United
States court of appeals in decision
upheld the Creek law imposing a
tribal occupation tax on non-citizen
merchants and professional men. This
law was resisted by the class against
whom it was directed on the grounds
that taxation without representation
is unjust, but, after fight through
three courts, the Indians have won
and the tax will now be collected with
out further resistance.
Indian Inspector j. e. Wright, the
personal representative of the secre-
tary of the interior, returned from
Washington, where he went to discuss
the tribal question with his chief.
Acting Chairman Bixby, of the Dawes
commission, left for Washington
where he was called to discuss affairs
concerning the Cherokee and Creek
treaties now pending in congress. The
Creeks are satisfied with their treaty,
but the Cherokees are not, and en-
Chief Mayes announced that they
would ask to withdraw it before con-
gress gets chance to act on it.

Mixed LIN EIgures.

Kansas City, Nov. 23.-There have
already been sent out from Topeka
two sets of figures each purporting to
give the result, officially, of the vote of
the state; but neither set of figures is
correct as shown by their not agreeing
with each other and by their totals
being false arithmetic as shown when
one analyses the returns as given in
detail. 1t is hopeful that correct re-
turns will be made out and published
sometime.
