French Homage to Paul Kruger.

France greeted Paul Kruger Thurs
day with a grandiose welcome-the
most magnificent ever witnessed IN
Marseilles. 1t was one of those well
comes in which the nation and the
man come in contact-one of those
spontaneous bursts of sympathy which
make history, and which sometimes
change destiny. And the striking
feature of the demonstration was Paul
Kruger as he accepted the homage of
France. His voice rang out with the
story of his wrongs in strong Dutch
words. When he made the declaration
which moved even men to tears, that
not until the last Boer-man, woman,
and child-had died would England
conquer, 1t seemed as If the citizens
Of Marseilles would rend the aid with
their shouting. Marseilles. having
witnessed the mismanagement OF DR..
Leyds and the French Boer commit
tee yesterday. endeavored to make up
for the blunders by doubling the en-
thusiasm. Harmony by no means ex-
listed and the clash in arrangements
nearly prevented the President from
landing at the hour expected.
