can republic, landrd how this morning.
Mr. K ugor canuot but be elated lthe
warmth of his ricepiion. H may be
laid to have been borne on the lrrt-stst
ible wave of welcoming enthusiasm from
the 1 andi tfr-fire itotcT. Th‘
JSjftfacTstreetii presented a perfect sea of
' human beings, all gathered by a unani
mous desire to welcome the aged Boer
statesman. From the moment the 12-
oared barge left the side of the Gelder
land with Mr. Kruger aboard a storm
of cheering broke and never ceased un
til Mr. Kruger entered the hotel. Even
i
then the vast concourse of people re
maindd in front of the building until
Mr. Kruger appeared on the balcony,
where be bad to remain for some time,
uncovered, acknowledging the acclama
'mik> thousands of admirers’.
BARBAROUS BRITONS.
Replying to the address of welcome,
Mr. Kruger spoke in Dutch and in a
low voice, accompanying the words
with energetic movements of his hat,
which he held in bis right hind. After
thanking the committee for the warm*
of the reception acc rded him and ex
pressing bis gratitude for the sympwiy
o! the French government, he spove of
the war as terrible and barbnpusly
conducted by the British. He s^S|
WILL NEVER SURBENj^R.
•‘I have fought with savag-s, bat the
present war Is even worse. We will
never surrender, We are determined to
fight to the last extremity, and if the
republics of the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State lose their independence
it will be became they have lost every
man, woman and child,”
This declaration which lifT. Kruger
mide dispelled at once any impression
that he Intends to accept a compromise
from the British government. His an
nouncement was greeted with a roar of
cheers and cries of “Vive Kruger!”
"Vive les Beree!” "Viye Is llbertt!”
RECEIVING OOM PAUL.
Paris, Nov. 22.—Tbe program of wel
c me to Kroger is held in abeyance for
the scrutiny of tbe pryldeit. Extra
ordinary police precautions are beinj
taken about the Hotel Scribe, iu ths vi
ni’.y of which are many English stores,
which, it is feared, the crowd, in 11s
enthusiasm might Injure. The whole
of the second fleer of the Hotel Scribe
it retained tor the use of Mr. Kreger
and his suite. It is expected thst the
municipal council will offer .the former
Boer president a reception,
*> ENGLAND’S HEART HARDENS.

that the Boers are making a systematic
and preconcerted attempt to demon

still in progress. The single success

ATLANTA DEPOT QUESTION.
Mr. Hall’s Bill Discussed in Lengthy
and Warm Speeches.
Atlanta, Noy. 22—Almost the en
tire morning in the house was taken up
by the discussion as to whatßer or
not tbe adveree report of the committee
on Mr, Hail’s bill for the' appropria
tion of 8432,000 to retire the etate bonds
should be accepted.
After eeyoral lengthy and sometimes
stormy speeches on the suggestion
from Mr. Hall that if tha report of the
committee a# not sustained he would
consent for his bill to be tabled until
all other bills referring to the oppor
tlonmcnt oi tbe public funds had been
settled, the report ol the commiltee
was disagreed with, the vote standing
102 to 51.
This cannot justly be taken as *a test
vote on the depot question, as many
members voted with Mr. Hall in this
instance solely on the understanding
that the bill would afterwards be
tabled.
Mr, Wright’s dispensary bill was
made the epcoial order of the day for
next Wednesday.
Several new bills were introduoed of
minor importance.
