Mrs. Kiof, Mr Kiuger's granddaughter, han just ai rived at Marseilles from German South Africa, with her two children and two attendants. The cabinet, iu order to temper French sentiment to British suscepti bilities, has decided that Mr. Kruyrr shall net be received as the chief of stale, but as a chief of state Uavclir.g incognito meaning that the French authorities Including President Lottbet, will show every consideration to the distinguished visitor, but that there will be no military honors paid and no official festivities provided. Thfc prelect of Marseilles has been in-sli-uctec! to give to popular sympathy free play, but to rigorously prevent the display of flags, transparencies, lumin al Irtua signs or shouts offensive to Kng lai.d. Additional police have been sent from Lyons and other southern titles to relnfoue the Marseilles police.

Dr. U.ytUi Is quoU-d as saying that the London Times, despite it avov.-ed ar.tiiKonlsm, approached tym to obtain its first communication of Mr. Krug-r's secret state papers, guaran teeing lo publish the wnole. The Pari Figaro, Matin and Petit Journal have re.rtsentatlves at Port Paid, instructed lo get Mr. Kruger's documents.

Tbe place where the Montioello struck is el the mouth of the Bay of Funday, where the waters of the bay Join those jf the Atlantic. There are many reef nd shoals at this spot and the current is very changeable, It luing one of the (jicst dangerous places on the coast. The gale last night kicked up a tre mendous sea and at the time the vessel hi lick the waves wer-i beating upon the rocks 'and sending spray hundreds jf feet over the land. The M litleello was on her way from it. Johns to Yarmouth with a fu); rreirht and a fairly large passenger iifct. Just before she foundered an at' tcrrpt wis made to reach the land in i small boat in charge of the quar termaster and containing Third Officer Fleming. a . stewardess named Smith and three passengers. This boat was smashed by a huge comber, the occupants being hurled high upon ths beach at Pembroke, uninjured. It ia believed these are the only survivors. ' One of . the passengers in this boat was Captain A. N; Smith of the eam er Phai f-alla. ...;. ' The city of Montectllo was used in the coastwise service between Hali fax. Yarmouth and St. Johns, and was due here tomorrow morning.

Captain Tr.oniae Harding, the master of the Mcntlcello, who is among the lost, leaves a widow and one daughter, at present residing in Yarmouth. He had master of several steamers running along the Monticello's route or. the last ten years. He was master jf the Express when she was lost at Bf ii portage, In September, 1898. The first officer of the Monticello, who acted as pilot, waa Captain Har ey Newell, a native . of Newelltoo, Cape Sable island, Mhelburne. , He eaves a family. ccn5 Officer Murphy leaves a wid- , jw in Yarmouth and had been fifteen 'ears in tbe company's service.
