IMMENSE CROWDS GREET HIM IN HOL-
LAND-OFFICIAL WELCOME
AUTHORIZED.

The Hague. Dec. 6.-At the opening of the
Second Chamber to-day. ]. G. Gleiehman. the
president, said:
President KRUGER arrives here to-day. He
will take up his residence here. take the Occa-
sion to propose that the Chamber authorize me
to welcome in it's name the President to our
country. and offer him an expression Of our
cordial sympathy"
The proposal was adopted amid cheers and
braves
The First Chamber also authorized it's presi-
dent to welcome Mr.. KRUGER in behalf Of the
House, as proof of it's sympathy
Mr.. KRUGER arrived and greeted at the
station by the Burgomaster and Councillors. A
choir OF six hundred men and girls chanted
Psalm lxxii. verses 6. and IL. The former Presi-
dent and his suite then repaired TO the royal
waiting room. where the BurgOmaster warmly
welcomed them in brief speech. Then followed
DR.. Sphinx, the president of the local South Afri-
can Association. in a long welcoming address.

the entire Dutch nation. who had" he said

Powers who had recently assembled at the
Peace Conference would not have permitted
that in South Africa the right of nations. the
right of and civil law should be trampIed
under foot, or little nation be sacrificed in an
The address, after long euiogy Of the heroism
Of the Beers. proceeded to liIen Mr. Kruger to
William the Silent. who sacrificed everything
for the welfare of his people. and ended:
May your reliance the Almighty similar
to that Of the Prince of Orange support you.
Mr.. President, in the arduous fight for right and
liberty, and may the liberty Of your nation
crown your courage. Then will Great Britain
have learned the lesson Of how dangerous it is
to attempt to throttle the independence of a free
nation"
Mr.. KRUGER. his suite and the Reception Com
mittee proceeded in open carriages to the Hotel
des Indes, which was resplendent with flags and
bunting. There bevy of women, headed by the
Baroness van Harinxma, greeted the Boer
statesman. and choir sang hymn. Mr.. Kru-
ger then mounted the staircase. preceded by
three girls strewing blossoms On his arrival in
the reception room the Baroness presented Mr..
KRUGER with bouquet.
Mr.. KRUGER met with wonderful receptions
everywhere after reaching the frontier at Ze-
venaar. Immense crowds gathered at all the
stations, which were decorated with flags, the
Burgomasters made speeches and the scholars
sang. Mr. KRUGER made many replies in most
of which he represented the Transvaal as a little
child whom a bad wished kill IN one
case he illustrated his point by drawing atten-
tiOn TO a fair haired girl In the audience.
IF that child was outraged said he, every
body would run to her rescue; but in my country
children and women are being daily outraged by
an enemy ten times stronger than the Trans
vaal."

THE AFRIKANDER CONGRESS.
INDIGNATION AT THE SHOW OF TROOPS
ATTACK ON SIR ALFRED MILNER.

Worcester. Cape Colony. Dec. 6.-AbOut six
thousand Dutchmen assembled in the open air
at the Gum Tree Plantation. the edge of the
town. TO take part in the Afrikander Congress.
Horsemen from a radius of sixty miles had been
riding in all night.
S. c. Cronwrisht-Schreiner made speech. in
which he attacked Sir Alfred Milner. the British
High Commissioner and Governor of Cape Col
ony. saying there would be no peace while he
was Governor
More troops have arrived here. Some fifteen
hundred Canadians and Australians are camped
around the town. and ten guns in position.
After a number of violent speeches-the speak
ers however repudiating all idea of rebellion
and keeping within stricter limits than had been
anticipated-three resolutions were carried by
acclamation, and a delegation appointed to
submit them to Sir Alfred Milner.
The first resolution demands the termination
of the war with it's untold misery. protests
against the devastation Of the country. and the
burning of farms, which "wiI leave lasting
heritage of bitterness" and declares that the
independence of the republics will alone insure
peace in South Africa
The second urges the right Of the colony to
manage its own affairs. and censures the policy
OF Sir Alfred Miner.
The third pledges the Congress to labor in
constitutional way" to attain the ends defined
in the two preceding resolutions. and directs
that they be sent to Sir Alfred Miner for sub
mission to the Imperial Government.
The Congress, which. it is claimed represented
12OOO Afrikanders, has been closed. numbers OF
the members leaving town Immediately.
