a Glorious Reception.
PRESIDENT L0UBET
CALLS ON HIM
Anti English Demonstrations
Are Suppressed.

Paris, Nov. 24.-Paris, while giving
full vent to her pent up feelings Of
sympathy with and admiration for the
Beers in her reception to Mr.. Kruger
today, comported herself with wisdom
and prudence. While a few isolated
instances of anti British vociferations
were unavoidable, never once through
out the day was there any sembIance
of an organized demonstration against
England to mar the reception. But
especially reassuring was the character
Of the reception. and it was with feel
ings of relief that the authorities went
to bed after the gloomy forebodings in

which had marked previous welcomes
given to Mr.. Kruger en- route to the
French capital.

swarm of police on bicycles, he dashed
ahead into the boulevard. where a
hedge of municipal guards kept the
crowd in bounds.

trumpeters and drums, then assumed
