The Anglo-German agreement is in pur- suance of the important principles there- in set forth, and is In accordance with | the principles which .the United States has consistently advocated.

Favoring the maintenance of the integrity of China, it is to her interest, as it is to that of every power having no sin- ister motive, to act with the other nations to effect a prompt settlement. Germany’s course has been guided by a desire to pre- serve the concert of the nations, without which there is grave danger that the ob- | Jects sought cannot be accomplished.” As a result of the exchange of views to made by the powers, as suggested by ecretary Hay in his latest note, it is d that a satisfactory method of solv- | ing the Chinese difficulty will be adopted. | It is apparent that the President wishes | to supplement the work of the nlmsteru‘ | in Peking by direct negotiations with the powers.

AN ARIS, Nov. 24.—The city of Paris welcomed Mr. Kruger to-day in a | whole-hearted manner, according | him a sincere reception at the| station, and showing by the cheering of the crowds all along the route that he was cordially welcome and had the sympathy of the populace. The thor- cughfares through which Mr. Kruger | e d were not lavishly decorated, but a | few #flags were flying and the hotel was | nicely decorated, while from early morn- | ing the street hawkers did not permit the | pedestrians to forget that it was Kruger | day. All sorts of insignia were offered for | sale. Small Boer flags, badges of the Boer | colors and scarf pins of the same charac- ter were called out on the boulevards, and lucky were the salesmen, for almost every person wore a Boer emblem. By 10 o'clock the sidewalks began to fill, tion and about the Hotel Scribe the crowds constantly increased 1in size. Small squads of guards, on foot and mounted, were continuously passing, evi- dence of the fact that the Government was taking stringent precautions to pre- vent trouble. On the Place de la Bastile a few national groups collected, but they were soon dispersed. By the time the train was due to arrive all the places of vantage about the rail- road station and hotel were packed for a distance of about a block. Among those | gathered at the railroAd station were | Count Boni de Castellane and several | other well-known Nationalist Deputies | and Miss Maud Gonne and a party of the Irish delegation. The crowd on the platform pressed so closely about Mr. Kruger's salon car that for a time he was unable to alight and stood on the footboard bareheaded, ac- | knowledging the plaudits of his admirers. | M. Crozier, chlef of the Protocole of the department of the Foreign Office, to which ! is intrusted questions of etiquette and the reception of diplomats and others, ad- vanced and bade Mr. Kruger welcome in the name of President Loubet and the French Government. Mr. Kruger bowed his thanks. Mayor Grebauval then greeted Mr. Kru- ger in behalf of the municipality of Paris, and the president of the pro-Boer Society and others presented the aged traveler with addresses of welcome, to which' Mr. Kru- ger replied that he was extremely happy to again find he was touched to the bot- tom of his heart by the welcome he had recetved and could not find words to ex- press his appreclation of the sympathy Frenchmen were displaying toward his country. He concluded with saying he had faith in the Boer nation, which, though tempest tossed, would keep afloat and never sink. President Kruger’s Arrival. Mr. Kruger arrived in Paris at 10:4 a. m. and was given a magnificent reception. The boulevards were crammed with vast crowds. Mr. Xruger and party entered the train at Dijon at 6:30 a, m. His special cars were attached to the train de luxe from the Riveria to Paris. In | spite of the early hour, a fair number of inhabitants assembled on the platform to cheer the departing statesman. Mr. Kruger uttered a few words of thanks to the city for its splendid welcome. The train stopped only once en route, at La Rcche. Here a deputation with flags was waiting at the station to pre- sent Mr. Kruger with a warmly worded address of admiration and sympathy for the Boer cause. Mr. Kruger thanked the deputation through his interpreter. The crowd, which was of respectable numbe: for such a small town, gave the distin- guished travelar unstinted applause. Elsewhere along the route there were the same scenes as yesterday. People were waiting on the sides of the track and on bridges and other points of vantage. They waved their hands and cheered as the traln rushed past at high- est speed. Nearing Paris these gatherings grew more frequent and of larger number, until the train approached the terminus, the Gare de Lyon, here. Then a remark- able spectacle was presented. Not only the windows, but the roofs of the houses commanding a view of the track, were covered with spectators. In addition the raflroad employe$, engineers, cleaners, porters and guards had clambered on the trains lying on the side of the tracks and at the coaling platforms—at every point where a glimpse only of the train itzelf could be secured. This, however, was merely a foretaste of the spectacle which greeted Mr. Kruger's eyes when the train steamed Into the station itself. Notwithstanding precautions to admit only ticket holders, a large assemblage filled the station, while through the open/ doors could be seen a huge concourse of people gathered in the courtyard outside. The Mayor and municipal councillors, a number of Senators, Deputies, army of- ficers and reporters were mustered on the pletform. Mr. Sruger was to Have passed through the station, which had been spe- cially arranged as a salon of honor, being profusely decorated with flowers and where he was to be formally received by the Mayor and municipal counclllors, but for some reason the Mayor welcomed him on the platform instead. Reply of the Visitor. lying to the address of the Paris r committee at the station Mr. Kru- ger sald: “T am deeply touched by the sympathy the population of all the French towns 1 have passed through have displayed to me by such striking demonstrations. I have seen the gatherings and I realize that all Frenchmen, lfke myselt, are con- vinced of the justice of our cause. We are seeking to maintain our independence, feeling that the independence of the peo- ple in itself guarantees peace. It is in or- der to obtain this peace, founded on lib- erty and justice, that we are struggling on the soil of the two republics and that I have myself come to you. Never would 1 dream of soliciting the least favor of an unjust character. I have clearly proved by never ceasing to ask for tra- this tion, and that is what I still demand.

He arrived at the| Hotel Scribe at 11:3) a. m. A large escort of mounted municipal guards rode around Mr. Kruger's car- riage. Along the main boulevards the | crowds inereased in size, and as Mr. | Kruger reached the central portion of the city the sidewalks were blocked and every window was filled with sightseers; | trees had been climbed and boxes, chairs | and ladders were brought into use to per- mit a glimpse of the noted stranger. Within two blocks of the hotel the strects were so crowded that progress was im- peded. The police precautions were very stringent. The streets for half a block | from the hotel were cordoned by rows of mounted republican guards, augmsnzed‘r by files of armed municipal guards. Over the entire route from the station to the hotel enthusiastic cries greeted Mr. Kru- ger. Shout after shout arose until there was a continuous roar of cheering. When the Boer president entered the cleared area in front of the hotel the demonstra- tion was uproarious. Many Cries of Welcome. Mr. Kruger, bareheaded, bowed on ali | sides, while the air was rent with crles of “Vive Kruger,” “Vive les Boers.” Mr. Kruger quickly alighted from his carriage spectators was ot satisfied and the peo- | ple shouted, velled and clapped their hands in chorus until 2 window on the balcony was opened and Mr. Kruger ap- peared. Then hats were again thrown in the air and the shouting was resumed with vigor. Handkerchlefs and flags were waved and the greatest enthusiasm pre- vailed. The scene before the hotel con- tinued for over an hour. A .body of stu- dents, bearing flags, attempted to march past the hotel but were stopped. Nothing daunted, the students broke into cries and songs until Mr. Kruger again appeared in response to .their demcnstration, after which he retired for lucheon. A sight which stirred the feelings of the crowd to the utmest was the appearance on the balcony of the great grandchildren of Mr. Kruger, waving a Boer flag. The little ones were cheered to the echo as, held alof} by a servant, they unfurled the Boer colors. Through all this fervid welcome the ant{-British sentiment did not appear.
