Later Reports.

Marseilles, November H.-A blunder In the calculations of the time the Gelderland would require between Port Said and Mar seilles resulted in the fizzling out today of the intended demonstration and imperilled the success of the reception tomorrow. The reception committee did not take into account the gale that is sweeping the Med iterranean and the low speed was unfor- tunate because thousands among today s concourse will shrink from the possibility of losing another morning tomorrow. The French and Boer delegates were all in- tensely disappointed and especially as up to late hour no news had been received of the Gelderland's entry into the harbor, although it is fully expected 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 going slowly in conse- quence of the heavy sea which is chiefly responsible for the delay. An amusing statement appeared in a local paper this afternoon in which an alleged rumor was published to the effect that the delay was due to the capture of the Gelderland on the high seas by British squadron, or to deliberate damage to her machinery by a mercinary. These statements only pro- voked the laughter of the reader The Boer delegates have issued a statement that the programme will be carried out to- morrow.

 of Reception.
HIS ARRIVAL WAS DELAYED

Marseilles November H.-In spite of heavy rain which prevailed all night and during the forenoon today the streets of Marseilles were filled from an early hour by great crowds of people intent on ex- tending a welcome to Paul Kruger, Presi- dent of the last South African republic which was scheduled to arrive at o'clock. At :30 the steamer Gelderland carrying the noted voyager not having been sighted. the committee having the details of the re- ception in charge announced an adjourn ment until 2 p. m.
 Early in the day Dr. Leydes and Messrs. Fischer and Vessels and the other Boer delegates boarded the launch of the captain of the port with the purpose of meeting and boarding the Gelderland outside the harbor The sea proved too rough, how ever, to permit of their carrying out their intention, and they were obliged to re- turn.
 The scene at the dock was very pictur- esque. Every coign of advantage was occu- pied by sightseeres. The landing stage was gadly decorated with the Transvaal and Free State colors, the French tri-col- ors and shields bearing the blue cross of the arms of Marseilles.
 A red carpet covered the ground, form ing a bright splash of color at the quay side. Decorations elsewhere in the city were practically non-existent, only few flags being visible along the route which MT. Kruger will traverse in going from the quay to the hotel.
 Senator Palauet the president and all members of the Paris and Marseilles Rail- road Company assembled at the landing stage during the forenoon and behind them, drawn up in long line, were delegations of various patriotic societies with embroid- cred silk standards.
 In view of the fact that the Gelderland may not arrive until late this afternoon or tomorrow, the Boer committee announced that it would disperse until o'clock. The delegations from the societies then furled thei rstandards and at 1:3O marched off and the crowd elsewhere in the town rap idly dissolved.

HICAGO, ILL.,, 427 W. Monroe st. N As far as I have observed Fortuna is the finest tonic any man or woman can use who is weak from the after-ef- fects of any serious illness. @ass2eSasssss' l have seen it used in number of con- yalescent cases, and have seen several other tonics used, but found that those who used Peruna had the quickest re lief. It seems to restore vitality, in- crease bodily vigor and renew health and strength in wonderfully short time.
 MRS. KATE TAYLOR. People recovering from the effects of typhoid fever, malarial fever, bilious fever and other affections of the Autumn will find Peruna exactly suited to the case. '""AAzfSNs
 Any one who takes Peruna is sure to have good appetite and digestion. After all it is food and digestion that build any one up. No one can gain strength that is good for anything on medicine alone. All that medicine can be made to do is to assist in the proper assimilation of nourishing food. ys This is exactly what Peruna will do. Thousands of people testify to its merits in this particular. Old tnvalids of all sorts who are all run down for want of proper nutrition will also find Peruna a Godsend.
