Gains In Popularity.
Dion, France, Nov. 24.-Mr. Kruger
has become, for a moment at least,
the popular idol of the French. His
triumphant progress northward
through the country from Marseilles
{ to Dijon has placed this beyond
doubt. He met with tremendous re-
\ ception in each town along the route
where the train stopped, culminat-
ing in scenes of frenzied enthusiasm
here last evening calculated to turn
the head of any man. The population
of Marseilles gathered in thousands
in the morning to escort him to the
railway station and gave him rous-
ing sendoff, while at Tarascon, Avig-
non, Valence, Lyons, Macol and Dion
the inhabitants, who crowded the rail-
road stations, made the rafters trem-
bic with enthusiastic shouts of "Vive
Kruger" and "Vivc les Beers" The
demonstration was all the more sig
nificant because it shows that the

Pleased with His Reception.
The warmth of enthusiasm reached
in Marseilles Wednesday palpably
raised the spirits of Mr.. Kruger and
his advisers to high pitch. The faces
of DR.. Leyds, Mr.. Fischer and others
which, on the arrival of Mr.. Kruger
revealed the anxiety they felt regard
ing his reception. were on Thursday
lighted up with happiness and conf
dence. Evidently hope had revived in
all that his mission to Europe would
be crowned with success. Mr.. Fischer
spoke to Mr.. Kruger Thursday regard
ing the visit of the Boer ENJOYS to the
United States, and told him of the
welcome they had received there from
the American people. He expressed
himself grateful to know that so many
Americans had expressed sympathy

Of the American republic would stand
by the Beers in the struggle to defend
the liberty which they had previously
won for themselves.
The Journey.
AS soon as the train left Marseilles
amid dcafening salvos Mr.. Kruger took
seat in the saloon in an armchair
amid his friends, where he sat for the
most of the time silent, listening to the
conversation going on around him and
putting his high-bowled pipe. At Taras-
con delegations awaiting the trains ar
rival on the platform presented adj
dresses and bouquets He made his APP
pearance Mt the window and bowed in
response to the cheering. Similar
scenes took place at Avignon and Va
lencc, where the platform in each case
was black with people. Numbers
climbed upon the roofs Of the trains
waiting at the stations, and some, more
daring than others, clambored to the
roof of Mr.. Krugers own car.
Demonstration AT Lyons.
The most remarkable demonstration
along the route occurred at Lyons sta
ton. As the train slowed down on en-
tering the town the windows and roofs
OF houses within view were seen to be
occupied by people. When it stopped
in the wide, lofty station every inch
was covered with concourse of thou
sands, who sent up mighty shouts OF
Long live Kruger!" and 'Down with

rafters resounded with the plaudits for
the Beers and the anti-Englsh cries.
1t was a memorable scene. The peo-
pie swarmed on the steps and roofs of
the trains and even clambered on the
locomotives. Many chung to the gas
lamps; and here also few climbed to
the roof of Mr.. Kruger's car. Outside
the station stood still greater assem-
bly, waiting to witness the presentation

the station. The train started again,
many persons clinging to the foot

Kruger's hand.
