to antic ipate The delirium of enthusiasm which ninrked every step of ills prog ress from the time he landed until the hotel was reached was a revelation even to the people of Marseilles them selves An assomhly of such masses exceed Jng even the most sanguine estimate inljlht perhaps he partly explained by the ceremonious obsequies of the W 4 PRESIDENT KBUOEB bishop of Marseilles including an im posing religious procession from the cathedral but nothing can minimize the spontaneous explosion of sentl ment displayed toward Mr Kruger by the entire population of the first port and one of the largest cities of Kranee Yet the grandeur of this demonstra tion perhaps ranks second in im portance to the emphatic manifestos of no compromise which Mr Kruger delivered in a low voice but one vi brating with emotion accompanied by energetic gestures of the right hand stirring the hearts of all wit In bear ing The last sentences of his declaration were uttered with a vigor and a de cision which bore out his reputation as the Incarnation of iron will and stubborn resistance Ills mere deliv ery of a declaration of such far-reaching Importance testifies to the inde pendence of his character as it came as a surprise even to ills intimate po litical advisers who up to the last were In ignorance of his determina tion He announced to the world that the Hoers would be free people or die The unfortunate occurrence at the hotel on the main boulevard alone marred the character of the demon stration which up to that moment had been unanimously and exclusively a tribute of sympathy and admiration Vive Kruger Vive les Boers and Vive la Libert o were the cries that formed a hurricane of cheering and swept over the city Unfortunate ly the highly reprehensible foolishness of half a dozen persons in throwing small coins into the crowd as Mr Kruger passed acted like magic In lita conjuring up an anti British outburst which it needed all the promptitude and energy of the police to prevent becoming a serious disturbance The hotel remained for the rest of the day in a state of siege while at one time a procession several thousand strong marched in the direction of the British consulate shouting Down with the English and raising other threaten ing cries The result was that a strong body of police was compelled to disperse the demonstrators al though It was not found

partment so far has heard nothing from Minister Conger respecting the impasse reported to have been readied by the foreign ministers at Peking In fact saveTa brief expres sion respecting the insulllciency of the punishments proposed by the Chinese government to be Indicted upon the responsible leaders of the Boxer move ment Mr Conger has not communi cated with the department for more than a week Without taking Issue with Mr Con ger respecting this matter of punish ments the state department has earn estly advised him not to insist on im possible conditions in t ho negotiations An interesting problem Is suggested by the possibility which now Is almost a probability that the ministers rep resenting the powers at Peking cannot reach an agreement The Impression seems to be that If a majority of the ministers or perhaps even one of the representatives of a great power with holds assent to the agreement thon the whole undertaking falls and there must bo either fresh negotiations dl rectly between the home governments In the effort to agree upon new basis of action or the powers must proceed to deal with the Chinese situation singly or In groups the latter contin gency having
