A largo crowd greeted the chief executive ,
who. in splto of the late hour , left his car
and addressed a largo assemblage. Secre
taries Gage , Hitchcock and Wilson and At
torney General Grlggs followed the presi
dent in brief remarks.
"I have had great pleasure In passing
through jour state today , the first visit
which I have ever made to this new com
monwealth.
"It Is one ot the newest of the federal
union. I have not only been Impressed vvitii
the patriotism of jour people , but also with
the prosperity and the good feeling which
wt > found on every hand. Admitted ns a state
only ten 3cars ago , jou have made almost
marvelous j > rogrcds in population and devel
opment.
"Your population , I nm sure , has doubled
In the last ten years , vvhllo the products ot
your fields lu a single year have amounted
to as high as $00,000,000.
"Tho vast products have gone from your
rich fields and in turn there has come back
(60,000,000 In gold to enrich the producer and
pay the waged of labor. I am glad to see
that the voice of despair is no longer heard
In North Dakota and the prophet of evil no
longer commands confidence , because he has
Jjccn proved a false prophet. Your mortgages
are diminishing nnd your markets nro In
creasing. The hum of Industry gladdens the
Jjoart nnd the hammer of the sheriff at public
sales less frequently darkens the homes. Wo
nro a great country nnd you are one of the
great slates of this union.
"It was my pleasure today to welcome back
to the state , In behalf ot the nation , the gal
lant tioys of the First North Dakota , who
did such splendid service In Luzon.
"Your city furnished ono of the companies.
They have made a splendid record for them
selves , but they have added a new and
glorious page to American history and great
honor to the American army. I doubt if
thoru is a man , woman or child In the state
of North Dakota who is not proud of that
regiment , nnd prouder etlll that they re
mained on the firing line when there wcro
many people who wanted them to ccine home.
"It there is anything In this world ivo like
It is courage and heroism , and it there Is

do It Is to desert his colora when his country

We are not a nation of hero-worshipers , nnd

gratitude and thanks for jour heroic action
In tbo Island of Luton.
I have with me this morning a dispatch
Just received from jour commander , the
major general commanding In the Philip-
pluei , tolling mo of tbo gallantry of Colonel
Frost ana bis First regiment , telling me
that from early In February until Into In
Juno , when you ntood on the firing tine , no

public , that when the treaty of poacc was
pending , when negotiations wcro being con
ducted in Paris , when the ratification of the
treaty vvns awaiting the action of the senate
nnd finally , whrn wo were awaiting the ex

not forget that when that time came everyone
ono of you was entitled to be mustered
out of the service ot the United States , and
I cnn never express the Joy jou gave my
heart when you sent word that you would
remain until n new army could bo formed
to take your places. That , members of the
First South Dakota , was an example of per
sonal sacrifice nnd public consecration rarely
known In the annals ot war , hut it is Just
like the American soldier. No matter where
ho comes from , ho never lays down his
arms in the presence ot an enemy and ho
never lowers the ling of his country until
ho has triumphed over enemies who assail
It. " ,

"I nm glad to see the veterans of 1SGI

my fellow citizens , and members of the
First South Dakota , you hnvo just como

SIOUX I'ALLS , S. D. , Oct. 14. ( Special

President McKlnley nnd party upon arrival
hero this evening , and the Journey from the
depot to reviewing stand was one continuous
ovation , to the accompaniment of shrieking
of whistles , muslo of bands , naro 01 nrc-
worka , tumultuous cheering , etc. Alto
gether , it has been the greatest day In Sioux
Falls' history. Crowds began gathering on
the streets in anticipation of the president's
arrival early In the afternoon , It being at
first understood the presidential party would
arrive at 4:30. : Notwithstanding the long
nnd tedious delay , the crowds did not
diminish , but patiently waited.
The greeting accorded President McKinlcy
could not bo exceeded lor warmth nnd as
sured him the people of Sioux Falls and
South Dakota had a warm place In their
hearts for him.
His remarks concerning the Philippine dif
ficulty and the government's intention In
putting down the present rebellion were en
thusiastically applauded.
As this Is the home of Senator Pettlgrew.
whose extreme hostility to the national ad
ministration la"wcH'-Unaw'n , this endorse
ment of the president's remarks was de
cidedly significant.
Ills reference to the South Dakota volun
teers notifying him at the commencement
of the war la the Philippines that , although
the time for which they enlisted had ex
pired , they would remain and uphold the
honor of the country until other men could
take their places , was also enthusiastically
cheered.

LONDON. Oct. 14 ( New- York World Ca-
blegnni Special Telegram. ) The general
South African outlook Is regarded with
growing apprehension both from n military
and political point of Alow. Disquieting
news has been received by Chamberlain as
to the attitude otUio Capo Butch and the
anticipated few lirltlsh reverses , even It in
trinsically unimportant and Inconclusive ,
will send the flame of revolt throughout
northern Capo Colony.
It Is calculated that at least 2,000 Capo
Doers aleug Iho frontier have Joined the
Free State already and aho leakage Is con
tinuing.
The position between Mllncr and Premier
Schrelner at Capetown during Ihe last tow
da > s has been extremely critical. Mllncr
wna ordered by Chamberlain to press
Sclirclncr , under 'throat of Olsmlssal from
olllco , for a withdrawal of declaration of
neutrality. Schreloer rofus < jd and warned
Mllncr that his dismissal would bo a signal
for a Dutch revolt throughout ilho colony ,
but as a result of further Interviews ho con
sented 'to make a placatory statement In
the Capo Parliament. Though It would
modify his neutrality pronouncement , It was
n decided setback for Chamberlain's policy ,
showing Mliner to ba afraid to deal with
Schrelner as Chamberlain notoriously de
sires.
Rigorous ccnsorFhlp is being exercised by
the high commissioner as well 01 military
chl Xa on press dispatches from Capetown ,
ns well ns the seat of war , and the mili
tary cb.Ie.fs at Capetown were smartly
scored by the war office here for allowing
Renter's message about the destruction of
the armored train to get through before the
official account. Though every effort Is made
to discount these Initial defeats , the actual
fact Is , It exercises a depressing effect.
Until IJuller'a column commands the route
from Capetown to Matching little reveiscs
are Inevitable.
.It Is now arranged that owing to a Ions
line of communications to bo kept open , and
tha added gravity of the military difficulties ,
that the Hrltlsh force will bo Increased to
70,000 men. War Is expected to last nntll
April at an estimated cost of 40,000,000
sterling , of which cost the government will
In the first Instance ask .1 vote of credit for
10,000,000 or 13,000,000.
The advocates of war are trying to flootho
the public mind concerning this heavy ex
pected burden by assurance that Rand prop
erties will pay the bill. It so , Rand finan
ciers will bo hoisted with their onn petard ,
although mining experts say mineral riches
of the Transvaal have not been one-third
explored , and that the output of Rand mines ,
under proper conditions of labor and care ,
can bo trebled or quadrupled. This belief
further explalmi the remorseless resolution
with which the wai > was forced on the
Transvaal.
The World's prediction that an outbreak
o-f hostilities 'Before the assembling of Par
liament would paralyze the opposition is
liolng completely fulfilled. By all critics It
Is now bnlns deprecated and probably only
a fc" ' extreme radicals and Irish members
will denounce thi policy -which has led to
war ,
The T'raeH ' today warns "traitors In our
midst , ' referring to Irish members , that the
law of sedition is ivldo enough to catch
the.n In its meshes.
dtormy scones are promised when the
commons meets , as the Irish pro-Doer
speeches have excited the fiercest resent
ment.
Stories of Boer outrages on refugees with
which the Jingo press has teemed are proved
In every case absolutely 'baseless. They
wcro Invented by the war partv to Inflame
public passion One Jingo London evening
paper announced yesterday the destruction
of an armored train on its poster , as "Das
tardly Doer Outrage , " declaring the train
was loaded with women and children refu
gees.
General Huller'a 1'crHOiinllty.
LONDON , Oct. It. General Duller has
gone to tnko entire control of the South
African situation. He will bo as absolute
aa wan Wellington and less hampered than
was Kitchener. Therefore not only the con
duct of the war lies In his direct control ,
but virtually the future of all South Africa ,
and no prognostications ere of any value
without taking Into consideration his per
sonal character for obstinacy and frankness ,
traits responsible for the supremacy ho has
attained.
Two months ago the secretary of state
for war , the marquis of Lansdonno , offered
Duller command of the projected army corps.
Sir Uedvers gave a point blank refusal un
less the warofllce would guarantee him be
tween 60,000 and 70,000 men. Ho is quoted
us having salt ) on that occasion :
"I shall not ba handed down In history
as another Sir George Colley. "
The reference was to the defeat at Ma-
Jubn Hill. Ho also said that if ho were
to go , it must be on the- distinct under
standing that bo would select his own staff
and would be entirely unlntcrfcrcd with
by the war ofllco. It appears that both the
queen and the cabinet practically acquiesced
lu hla demand , although , of course , retaining
a nominal control , scarcely worth the name.
Duller Is pretty certain 1o cut the wires
behind him and to bo out of touch with Lon
don at critical moments , for fear the cabinet
mlnu'ht change Its mini } .
It Is this man , whom some of hlg own ulll-
c re do not hwltato to call a brute , how
ever much they admire his determination ,
who holds the destiny of the Transvaal and
the Orange I'r o State in his hand. Ho
knows the Doera and he hates them. He has
campaigned over the whole present battle
ground ami U. above all. a soldier from
head to foot. As Boon as he reaches South
Africa ho will inaugurate- campaign of
nggrctaiveneea such aa the world has sel
dom seen , but which ho believes Justifiable
by virtue ot his own superior forces. The
sternest measures will not be too stern for
him and until tbo lust \cstlgo ot Dutch
power , whether In the Transvaal , the Orange
Frco State or Capo Colony , Is swept out , ho
will not stay his hand.

Oc-t. 11. These who have been
moro stirring news from the seat
gotlng It to the full this morn-
'ccordlng ' to dispatches , shooting
' been nearly continuous nlonfi the
dors of the Doer republics , white
.tllea have occurred or are occur-
rlous points In Natal and Drltlsh
.land. .
thcso reports , however , remain
"jied.
Is cut oft telegraphically , the
_ that point are generally of
KafflFcrlgln nnd must bo regarded with sus
picion. Whllo there Is every probability th.it
General Cronje's bis command has begun the
assault on Mafeklng , reliable details must
etlll bo awaited.
Further details nro at hand regarding the
destruction of the armored train nt Kraalpan.
They show that Captain Nesbltt , who was
in command of the train , i\as warned nt
Marlbogo that the Doers held the Hue. Ho
replied that he was bound to proceed. NearIng -
Ing Kraalpan the train dashed Into n culvert
that had bctn blown up by the Doers , who
woio llng in wait for the train. The Doer
artillery immediately opened lire and a des
perate fight ensued , lasting four hours , with
the odds greatly against the British. The
precise details are uncertain.
Captain Nosbltt , who was killed at Kraal
pan , belonged to the Mashonaland mounted
police. He served in the Matnbde war , tlur-
ing which a daring exploit won him the vic
toria cross. With thirteen men ho fought
his way through the Matabcle , retrieved a
beleaguered party and escorted them to Sal
isbury. Three of the party were killed and
flvo wounded , all the horses being killed or
wounded.
It secnid , however , that a police patrol , at
tracted by the firing , approached within
about 2,000 , yards of Kraalpan , saw the train
ditched , with the Doer artillery still poundIng -
Ing at It , but noticed no response. The
Doers seemed afraid to approach until the
wreck was complete , and the police patrol
feared , as there " \voro no signs of life near
the train , that the entire force had perished
In a desperate attempt to get the train to
Mafeklng , where they knew it was anxiously
awaited with its load ot guns and ammuni
tion.
It Is reported that the Doers lost heavily ,
but there is no means of verifying this.
Two miles of rails were torn up.
Iteiiort of llrltUli Victory.
There is no authoritative confirmation of
the report that a. battle has been fought in
Natal , between General Sir Gcorgo Stewart
Whlto and the Orange Free State troops , al
though there is no question that the Doers
have crowed the frontier at several poltns.
They are said to have eighteen guns , but If ,
as is reported , the engagement began before
the Doers had formed a laager and thrown up
earthworks , the Drltlsh c-walry and artillery
are liable to have had , the 1cst of the
fighting.
It Is already reported that the Drltlsh have
gained a great victory , that 2)000 ) Doers were
killed and that the Dr'.tlsh Ices was very
slight , but this may be 'vtlthdut ' foundation ,
as another j-rportteia * , * ) published to the
effect that Lord Rothschild was in receipt of
nowe of a great British victory , but when the
Associated Press representative questioned
him regarding the alleged dispatch ho re
plied : "I am sorry that I have not received
anything of the sort. "
The probability eeems to bo that there
has not been any fighting as yet in Natal.
Another Train IJltuhcil.
The Exchange Telegraph company has
received a dispatch from Capetown , dated
this morning , eaylng that the Doers have
blown up another armored train , carrying
telegraph operators from Mafeklng.
In connection with the rumored attacl
upon Mafeklng n disquieting report comes
from Pretoria to the effect that the Rusten-
burg and Marico commandoes have cresset
the border and entered the Roolgrond terri
tory , between Llchtenburg and Mafeklng
blowing up the bridge over the Maloppo
river and destroying a tralntoad of dynamite
and tbo track.
As Mafeklng depends upon Roolgrond fo
its water supply , the significance of thl
move Is evident.
The Deere , it is reported , have seized the
railway station north of Fourteen Streams ,
between Vrjburg and Klmberley. Fighting
is still continuing in the neighborhood.
According to dispatches from the front
the Doers have made hevcral attacks upon
Mafeklng , all of which have been repulsed.
A dispatch from Pretoria , dated October
13 , says : General Koch wires from the
Natal border that his commando has oc
cupied Dothoas pass and nlso captured the
railway station.
The latest reports from Vryburg say that
the armored train that was destroyed nt
Krnalpln contained In addition to Ncsbltt's
force a number of workmen and six resi
dents of Marlgogo , south of Mafeklng , who
on hearing of the Doer advance took reluge
In the train.
The following dispatch from Ladysmith
has been received ut the war ofllco :
"General Sir George Stewart Whlto went
in the direction of Van Reenon's pass at : i
o'clock n. m. yesterday ( Friday ) , but failed
to draw the Boers to the pass. Ho returnerl
to Ladysmlth , where ho now Is. No en
gagement occurred. "

The people swarmed everywhere and gave

DEUL1N. OcU II. A high German official ,
whoso utterances may bo taken as utterly

"We shall observe tbo strictest neutralIty
no matter what may develop In the war be

That is the only course left open , ns condi

and our relations with both sides nro so del-
Icnte that to abandon neutrality by so much
as a hair's breadth necessarily would lead to
new and unforeseen complications
"Wo mean to adhere to neutrality toward
both parties. What else-can we do ? Other
powers spoken of as likely to interfere have
also concluded to Keep quiet. Such rumors
as now and again reach the press , for In

on the part of the RuEiilan minister , Count
Muravleff , to bring about concerted action ,
are unfortunately only rumors. I say un

"A crusade against England Is being

unnecessary to say that our b t wishes ac

In behalf of Germany's position in Soutd

former , referring to the ultimatum , says :
"Tho 'wrongs Indicted by Great Dritaln
on the Transvaal are mountains high and
the impression made by 'tho ' ultimatum , on
every impartial person is irresistible. "
The Lokal Anzclgor calls England's pro
cedure "colossally brutal" and charges Mr.
Chamberlain and the war party In England
with "dishonest financial operations that
render the war necessary , "
The Frankfurter JCeitung sajs : "Tho fact
that Great Dritaln will not bo hindered by
other powers is duo to Germany's friendly
neutrality , but England will hardly bo grate

The Cologne Gazette says : "Wo hope the

The Hamburger Correspondent says : "Tho
other powers must wish to keep England
ongftged as Ion ? as possible In a fight with
the Doers , as that will leave the way free

The fact that President Krngor did not
receive birthday congratulations this year
from Rmporor William
is commented upon
regretfully by a number of papers , There
are evidences of sympathy with the Doers.

meetings in different parts of the country.
Last night , accompanied by Winston
Churchill , ho tpoko nt Oldham and the
duchcfls was on the platform throughout the
proceedings , which developed , ns all minis
terial meetings do now , into a Jingoistic
orgy.
The war has had the effect of bringing
society back to London exceptionally early ,
every great family having ono or more irla-
tlves Involved. Among the officers of the
Tenth HuHsarfi , Prlncn of Wales' regiment ,
1/uko Ducct'leuch has a son nnd son-In-lnvv ,
The duke and duchess of Portland have each
a brother. Earl Derby and Ixirtl Rlbblesdalo
have sons and Lord Rcvnlstoko a brother.
Colonel Arthur IViget , though best known
as the husband of Mrs. Paget , nlso happens

she only Intends to act as nmbulanco nurse.
