Explanations OF the KRiscr's Action
The Steele Endorses 1t.

| Paris. Dec. 3.-Emperor William
telegram to Mr.. Kruger refusing to re-
ceive him continues to be the chief sub
iect of comment in the French press.
The afternoon papers strike a note Of
sadness. They say they see in his
maiesty's action the SCATTERING of his
reputation for chivalry. The Temps
and the journal DIES Debats explain
Emperor Williams message by the
Anglo German understanding. on Afri-
can questions The Temps says:
1.-THE emperors wording, that he could
not receive Mr.. Kruger on account of
disposition already taken, is very clear.
Everyone understands that the emperor
If not actually fulfilling one of the
clauses of the recent Anglo-German ac-
cord, is inspired by the spirit thereof
in declining to receive Mr.. Kruger
Neither the declarations of Count Won
Buelow or others have concealed from
the eyes Of the world that the emperor
has veered his policy in favor of Eng
land since he sent his famous dispatch
on the Jameson raid The emperor has
failed to find in Europe the alliance
needed TO brave England and his peo-
pie have refused the credits to build
fleet. The consequence was the emperor
threw in his lot with England. This is
clear, but incomprehensible. Mr.. Kru-
gers advisers neither saw nor foresaw
anything and exposed Mr.. Kruger to
the total check he has just experienced.
This, perhaps is not the first bad adj
vice they gave him, and which explains
many things in the past"
Yves Quot in the Steele, compares the
attitude of Emperor William with that
of France to the advantage of the for
mer. He says; Emperor William
wished to show his government had not
surrendered its powers to the least en-
lfghtened classes, and intimated to Mr..
Kruger that he was opposed to his COM
ing to Berlin to be acclaimed by bands
led by DR.. Leyds, of paid agitators
can affirm to a gertrude that if Mr..
Kruger approaches the car DIPLOMATIC
ally he will meet with an equally cate
gorical refusal. The important diplo-
matte event which was predicted for
this week by DR.. Leyds in the press has
occurred. But, 1t is the collapse of all
the pro-Boer Illusions. Mr.. Krrper,s
role is finished. Emperor williams

commando retook the lines where those
who died for us were lying, and as
i they marched among our dead they saw
sergeant lying at full length, shot
through the brain, yet even in death
the man looked like some fighting ma
chine suddenly gone out of order. His
rifle was pressed against his shoulder,
his left hand grasped the barrel on the
under side, the fore finger of the right
hand pressed the trigger lightly, the bar
rel rested out upon a rock, and his
death dulled eye still glared along the
sights, for dissolution had come to him
just as he bent his head to fire at those
who shot him, and now his hands had
stitfened in the unbendable stiffness of
eternal sleep. A Boer soldier saw the
sergeant as he lay, and with rude
hands grasped the rifle by the barrel
and tried to jerk it from the dead mans
grip, but as he pulled he brought the
rifle in line with his own breast and
the unyielding finger on the trigger did
the rest, the rifle spoke from the dead
mans hand, and the bullet passing
through the Beers heart laid him be-
side the Briton.
Sounds like a journalistic lie, does it
not? Read it in novel and you would
laugh, would you not? But it is the
eternal truth, all the same, for the com
rade of the Boer who had died that
day, killed by dead man, told me the
tale himself, and he was one of those
who planted the dead Dutchman ON the
slope of Spion Kop.-A G. Hales in

KAISER'S SNUB TO KRUGER

Continued from First PageO
in the relations between Germany and
Great Britain.
The semi-official Cologne Gazette puts
| the matter as follows: The question
as to whether Emperor William would
welcome Mr., Kruger's visit must be
answered without qualification in the
| negative. The reason why such visit
| Just now cannot be welcomed is plain,
for Mr.. Kruger intends the requested
audience not only as a mere act OF po-
| likeness, but as an occasion for recelV-
ing proofs of personal sympathy Fur
thermore he is prosecuting at the same
time outspoken political claims and de-
sires to induce the rulers of those states
which he has visited to abandon the
strict neutrality they have hitherto
found reason to maintain in the war
between Great Britain and the Trans
yaal. The maintenance of strict neu-
trality, however, accords with Ger
manys interests and it would be a Sc
rious political error if a mere suspicion
was created that, at Mr.. Kruger's wish,
this neutrality would no longer be
maintained"
Mr.. Kruger's reception at Cologne
was exceedingly enthusiastic so far as
the citizens were concerned. They had
planned a torchlight procession and
serenade, but the police forbade both.
His dispatches to Count Won BueloW,
the imperial chancellor, and to the
heads of the German states were left
unanswered. There is no doubt that as
late as Saturday foreign office officials
contemplated that Mr.. Kruger would be
received in Berlin tomorrow. Emperor
William and Count Won Buelow must
have reconsldered the original plans 1t
is suggested that as Mr. Kruger's in
tention to come to Berlin was mooted
while in France, the kaiser and his adj
visers may have suspected a trap.
Herr Won Tschirschky, German min
lister to Luxembourg, under Emperor
Williams instructions, personally
thanked Mr.. Kruger for the telegram
to the kaiser and Mr.. Kruger when
thanking the envoy said: II invoke
Gods blessing upon that august per-
sonage" There can be no question
that a vast majority of the representa-
tive journals throughout the empire re-
main pro-Kruger.
