KRUGER FAILED TO ARRIVE.
Reception Planned for Him Put OFF
Until To-day.

Marseilles, Nov. "A blunder in the
required between Port Said and Mar
seilles resulted in the fizzling out to-
day of the intended demonstration and
imperilled the success of the reception
tomorrow. The French reception com
mttee did not take into account the
gale that is sweeping the Mediterranean
and the low speed of the Gelderland,
but allowed all the arrangements to
stand.
The Boer delegates, victims of the or
ganzing committee, awaited eXpectant-
ly at their hotel from early morning un-
It'll the afternoon the arrival of the
cruiser. For several hours the carriage
intended for Mr.. Kruger remained at
the entrance of the hotel, the horses,
which were decorated with rosettes OF
Boer colors, paving the ground impa-
tiently until the equippage was dismiss
ed Various delegations and societies
that had assembled at the landing stage
remained through heavy showers until
they realized, in the non-signalling OF
the Gilderland, that their presence was
futile. Then they disbanded.
The fasco was unfortunate because
the thousands among to-day's concourse
will shrink from the possibility of los
ing another morning tomorrow. The
crowd was made up largely of working
men and shopkeepers, and they are not
likely to repeat the experiment.
Bad weather and the element of un-
certainty as to the time of Mr.. Kruger's
landing kept many thousands even to-
tl,o fThirtV Thousand
would be a generous estimate of the
crowd which was massed thicky at sew
eral points, while only sparse assemblies
were to be seen elsewhere
The French and the Boer delegates
were all intensely disappointed, espee-
tally as up to a late hour no news had
been received of the Gelderland's entry
int othe harbor, although it is fully eX-
pected that she will anchor there before
daybreak tomorrow. No Importance IS
attached to the report of an injury to
her machinery, the theory being that
she is merely going slowly in conse-
uuence of the heavy sea, which is chief
ly responsible for the delay.
An amusing statement appeared in
local paper this afternoon in which an
alleged rumor was published to the eff
feet that the delay was due to the cap
ture of the Gelderland on the high seas
by British squadron or to deliberate
damage to her machinery by a merce-
nary. Naturally these statements only
provoked the laughter of those who
read them.
The Boer committee has issued an
announcement that the programme in
tended for TODAY will be carried ont
tomorrow.
The attitude of to-day's concourse
while unanimously favorable to Mr.
Kruger and the Beers was nevertheless
quite free from anything offensive to
the British, which tended to enhance
the absurdity of a noisy promenade
along the principal boulevards this
evening by a score of anti-British
youths, whose efforts led to no disor-
der whatever.

HELD UP Il POLICEMAN.
PatrOIman DOughan's TusseI With Two
Hfghwaymen Last Night.

Patrolman DOughan's TusseI With Two
Hfghwaymen Last Night.
While returning home from calling
upon his sister about 1915 last even
ing Patrolman Thomas Doughan was
set upon by highwaymen on the Woos-
ter street railroad bridge and after a
hard tussel succeeded in capturing one
of his assailants and with the assist
ance of Sergeant Crocker landed him in
the lookup at police headquarters.
Doughan was walking across the
bridge when suddenly two men stepped
out of the shadows at one side Of the
sidewalk. One grabbed him by the
right hand and another by the left and
then one of the pair demanded his
money. Doughan is now on day duty
and so being off duty last evening he
was in citizens clothes when attacked
by the two highwaymen For answer
to the demand for his money he
wrenched his right hand loose from the
fellow who held it and struck the man
at his right stunning blow which
sent the fellow reeling. The man after
he recovered himself waited not to en-
force the demand for money, but took
to his heels.
Doughan then had wrestle with the
man on his left. The latter finally
managed to break away and ran down
towards Union street, Doughan hot at
his heels. He started to run in a side
door of a saloon but Doughan stopped
him and pulled him back. The two
were struggling in the street, Doughan
getting the best of his antagonist when
Sergeant Crocker happened along. The
sergeant assisted Doughan in overpow-
ering the fellow and he was finally held
until the police wagon arrived. At the
police station he gave the name OF
Thomas M. Kennedy He is about
thirty-five years of age and is thought
to live in the city. The other would-be
highwayman had not been captured at
a late hour last night Kennedy was
charged with breach of the peace and
attempted highway robbery.

PAID SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS
Engaged by Churches In Boston
Ciergymen Say 1t is Wrong.

Boston, Nov H.-References made by
Rev. p. r. rockingham of the Airing
ton street church CUnitarian), this city,
in an address last Monday night, to the
fact that the church paid Sunday school
teachers, aroused considerable interest
here and investigation has shown that
several denominations in this city are
employing workers to whom either a
salary or stipulated sum for services
renderedis paid in their Sunday schools.
Several clergymen who have expressed
views on the subject hold that the idea
is all wrong, and that one of the sources
of power in Sunday school work in the
past has been in the fact that the ser
vices of the workers have been volun-
tary.

Meriden. Nov 21.-Manager Hugh
Blythe of the Harvard Football asso-
citation arrived here tonight and per-
fected all arrangements for the arrival
of the Harvard football squad to-mor-
row. There will be forty-six men in
the party and they will be quartered at
the Winthrop hotel, where twenty-five
rooms have been secured. Tomorrow
afternoon the team will indulge in short
Friday there will be open practice for
a brief while The team will remain
here until the morning of the game.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov 21.--The Har-
ward varsity eleven had its last foot
ball practice this afternoon. A few
plays were run through in secret and
after that the gates of the field were
thrown open and a crowd of 1000 stu
dents watched the last practice. Most
of the students were discouraged be-
cause they did not see the brilliant play
ing they expected. The slippery con-
dition of the field rendered brilliant i'm
dividual playing impossible,
The superiority of the first eleven
over the second was shown in heavy
mass plays and straight line bucking.
For forty minutes the first eleven play
ed the second, all the varsity players
going in sooner or later except Captain
Daily. AS usual the team suffered from
this, for Fincke was not able to get
any life into the plays. Four touch
downs were scored against the second
eleven. The slippery ball caused some
fumbing which would not usually ap-
pear so late in the season. Tomorrow
morning the first eleven and substitutes
will leave for Meriden.

OCEANIC IRRIYES.
Delayed by Rough Weather Close
Passing OF Steamer.

New York, Nov. 21.-The White Star
line steamer Oceanic, which arrived this
afternoon from Liverpool and Queens
town, was somewhat delayed by ad-
verse winds and rough seas. Nearly all
the passage northwest gales, rough and
squally weather with very high con-
fused seas were encountered. Nothing
was seen of the belated steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse nor of any of the
other liners which are much behind
time. This morning about o'clock an
unknown eastward bound steamer
passed uncomfortably close to the
Oceanic, barely avoiding a collision.
The steamer was supposed to be a
North German Lloyd vessel probably
the Trave, which left here yesterday.

Until Saturday I2 p. IN.

The Gymkhana, or Fair of All Ma
tions in aid of the Day nurseries, was
opened in the armory last night by
Governor Lounsbury in what might
be termed a blaze of glory. Long before
the opening hour crowds began to gath
er in front of the armory and at 8
o'clock, so great was the demand for
admission that it was with the great
est difficulty that one could manage to
squeeze his way inside the doorway.
While the managers of the fair expect
ed a big attendance they We're not pre-
pared to cope with such an immense
throng as gathered within the building
last night. 1t was without doubt the
largest attendance that ever put in
an appearance at anything of similar
nature held in New Haven. But while
the crush was great every one present
was in the best4of humor, and took
everything in a good natured way.
The spectacle which met the eyes of the
spectator as he or she entered the ar
mory was brilliant and pleasing one.
Such a transformation was never
dreamed of by one half of the people
present. The roof was festooned with
giving real forest like ap-
pearance to the eye as it glanced up
wards. Then the effect of the flags
representing the various nations was a
very artistic and pretty one. That, to-
