KRUGER FAILS
THE CROWDS
MarseilIeS ThrOngs Gather
to Await His Coming.
CRUISER DOES
NOT ARRIVE
Heavy Weather Keeps the Gel
derland Back.

MarseiIles, Nov. PA blunder in the
calculation in the time the Gelderland
would require between Port Said and Mar
settles resulted in tae dzzling out today of
the intended demonstration and imperiled
the success of the reception tomorrow.
The French reception committee did not
take into consideration the gale that is
sweeping the Mediterranean and the low
speed OF the GeidcTland. but allowed all
their arrangements to stand. The BOer
delegations, victims of the organizing
committee. waited eXpeCtantly at their
hotel from early morning until the after
noon Tor the arrival of the cruiser. For
several hours the carriage INTENDED Tor
AiT. Kruger remained at the entrance to
the hotel. the horses, which were deco
rated with rOSetteS of BOer cOlOrS, paw
ing the ground impatiently until the
equippaEe was dismissed Various delpga-
lions and societies that had assembled at
the landing stage remained there through
heavy showers until JheY realized, IN the
nOn-SlEnallinE of the Gelderland that their
presence was futile then they diSbanded.
The hasco was unfortunate because
shrink from the possibility of losing an
other morning tomorrow Todays great
crowds were tor the greater part of shop
keepers and working men, who lost money
by attending the gathering and who are
not likely TO repeat q experiment.
Bad weather and t. element Of unceT-
tainty as to the time of Mr. Kruger s
landing kept many thousands even today

Cruiser Not Sighted.
The French and the Boer delegates were
all intensely disappointed, especially as
UP TO late hour no word had been re-
ceiVed from the GeldeTiand's entrance
into the harbor, although il is fully ex-
DecteG that she viii anchor there before
daybreak tomorrow. No Importance is at
taChed to the report of an injury to her
machinery. the theory being thar she is
gong slowly in consequence of the heavy
sea. which is chiefly responsible for the
delay An amusing statement appeared
in local paper this afternoon in which
an alleged rumOr was published to the
effect that the delay was due to the cap
tUre of the Gelderland on the high seas
by d British squadron or to deliberate
damage TO her machinery by d mercenarv.
| These statements only provoked the
laughter of those who read it,
The BOer commission has issued a
statement that the progra ANNE intended
today will be carried out tomorrow. The
attitude OF tOday'S cOncourse. while unan-
imOUsly favorable TO Mr.. Kruger and the
Beers. was nevertheless quite free from
anything offensive to the British which
tended to enhance the absurditv of a
noisy promenade along the principal
boulevards this evening by score of
anti British youth, whose efforts led to
no disorder whatever.

CLOSING DAY.
rialists Adjourn After In.
dOrsing Bryan.

Indianapolis, Aug. 16.-The anti-im-
perialist convention adjourned tonight
after adopting resolutions urging the de-
feat of President Mckinley and the cleo
ton of Bryan. Only about twenty votes
were cast against the resolutions. A
substitute eliminating the name of Bryan
was defeated, only about fifteen delegates
voting for it. The resolutions were dis
cussed all day. Many delegates declared
that the convention was
Merely Democratic Annex.
The following resolution was adopted
to the platform as reported:
'"That in declaring that the principles
Of the Declaration of Independence apply
to all men. this congress means to include
the negro race in America as well as the
Philippines. We deprecate all efforts,
whether In the South or in the North, to
deprive the negro Of his rights as a citi-
zen under the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Constitution of the United
States.'
The congress concluded tonight with
an address at Tomlinson hall by Charles
A. Towne Of Minnesota.
