At nearly every station passed crowds had gathercd, which waved hats | and handkerchiefs and cheered the train. he first stop was at St. Quentin at 3:40 p. m. The municipal authorities, many spectators and members of the Chamber of Deputies and various delegations awalted the arrival of the train, which was greeted with cries for Kruger and the Boers.

AL Erquilinnes an enormous assemblage filled the station and greeted the traveler | with enthusiastic acclamation. The pres- ident of the local Boer committee read a { long address, expressing sympathy with the Bo and hoping that the war wouid Le terminated through arbitration by the signers of The Hague convention.

He declared he would not stop his work until the hour the African re- publics had regained their independence. It was a cruel war, which in the in- terests of huma should be ended. The hearty cheers of France, Mr. Kruger said, was forever engraved upon his heart, and he thanked Paris and France for the man- ner in which they had received him, At Charleroi, the first stop on Belgian territory, rigorous police measure» had en to prevent the invasion of the but the people rushed on the plat- nt to_their feelings in The train pped for five minutes and Mr. Kruger he ss from the stens of the . similar scene was en- gave cries favorable to the Boers. sto acted, At Jumont Mr. Kruger said that when he landed in France he spoke of the bar- | barity with which the war had been con- | ducted, adding that before he left France he wished to say that he had made Lord Roberts acquainted with these wrongs and that the British commander had promised that the cruelties should cease; but whether he had not been obeyed, or whatever_the reason, the barbarities con- tinued. Mr. Kruger felt it his duty to explain_that he had complained as the chief of staff and not as the head of his family, for his own family had been 3 treated with the greatest regard by Lord Roberts and he thanked himi for this. The enthusiasm in the Belgian towns through which Mr. Kruger passed | rivaled that shown In the towns of France.

Among this gathering were a number of deputa- tions with banners, and the Logoe pro- | Boer committee, the president of which read an eloquent address expressing sym- gnthy with the Boer cause and promising Ir. Kruger as magnificent reception in | Belgium, if he should stay there, as had | been given him in France.* The crowd at | the station was tumaltuously demonstra- | tive. Its members sang the Boer hymn while walting the arrival of the train, and when the latter was signaled the peo-- ple swamped the barriers and rushed | upon the platforms. Gendarmes with fixed bayonets tried to force them back, but the crowds swept and massed around M ! car, raising deafening shouts of “‘Vive! Kruger!” "Vive les Boers!” and “Vive | arbitration!”. Mr, Kruger spoke a few | words of thanks. . | As the trgin was istarting cries were heard of P*‘down with the English,” whereupon the curtains of the saloon car were quickly drawn, though, before the | train left the station Mr. Kruger reap- ! peared at the window and waved his hand. | A group of students marched from the station to the British Consulate followed by a small crowd, shouting “Down with the English, “‘Down with Chamberlain.” These cries were redoubled when the Con- sul, with his family, appeared on the bal- | cony, but on their withdrawal the demon- | strators dispersed. H Mr. Kruger was much fatigued with his journey : and bandages were frequently applied to his head. COLOGNE, Dec. 1.—Mr. Kruger arrived here at 11:30 o'clock. A great crowd had | embled and caused a dangerous crush. | No_official reception had been arranged | and Mr. Kruger drove to the Cathedral Hotel, the crowd cheering as he left the staton and as he drove along the route. The absence of an official welcome is sald to have been due to neglect to secure an understanding with the imperial court, | which is necessary In case of visits of the | heads of States, hence it is reported that | Mr. Kruger wili probably go to Berlin at once. LONDQN, Dec. 2.—A dispatch from Ber- lin says that Mr. Kruger has been ad- vised that Count von Bulow, the imperial Chancellor, will only exchange formal visits with him; that public demonstra- tions will be suppressed, and that the pro- poscd munieipal banquets will be aban- doned. While there is much sympathy and curiosity to see Mr. Kruger, there is no chance of such a furore as occurred at | Marsellles and Paris. the officers aside | r. Kruger's saloon BOA A strike of linemen who have been em- ployed by the electrical companies took place yesterday morning. The movement was under the directlon of the executive board of the Linemen’s Union, which con- sists of David Keefe, A. C. Johnson, V. Bentley, J. W. Burge and F. P. Noonan. The purpose of the strike was explained by David Keefe, prefident of the ‘execu- tive board, to be to force from the em- ploying ccmpanies recognition of *the union, to obtain shorter hours and to get certain rates for overtime and holidays. Secretary J. W. Burge made the same general statement and declared that the union ought to be recognized. A meeting was held at 102 O'Farrell street, at which the gencral subject was discussed before any action was taken. In addition to employes of electrical companles in San Francisco who went out on strike a number of workmen in Sacra- | mento and Fresno struck. There is a dif- | ference in the totals of men out on strike | and remaining at work, according to the sources from which the figures are de- rived. A. Clark, superintendent of the Auxiligry Fire Alarm, said yesterday that his company had been asked by employes to give an eight-hour schedule a had agreed to do so. K. C. Jones, chlef engi- necr of the San Francisco and Elec- tric Company, said that concessions had been offered to the men, who had insisted upon’ recognition of the Linemen’s Unlon. here was no friction attendant upon the strike e!t&l‘dl". any men remained at work. t President Keefe and others 'connected with the Linemen's Union held a conference at 73 Fourth street and talked matters over at some length. Mr. Keefe said that the men were confident that they would win. obn I Sabin, president of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, made Last ni; the ollowlng statement; “But very fews of my men have left me; so few, in fact, that the strike will not bother the company locally in the least. 1 reafirm what 1 have often said—that i om ready to meet my men as indt at any time, but I cannot consent to dic- tation from a union.

MANCHESTER AND BRIDE ARRIVE Papa Z'mmerman Clasps the - Duchess to His Heart. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. L—Welcomed home by her father, a bright, winsome Ameri- can girl from Ohio, now the.Duchess of Manchester, stepped lightly from the land- ing stage of the St. Louis at 7 o'clock to- night and was again in her native land. She is only 21 and she is the central figure in an International romance of love, mar- riage and elopement. As for the stern parent there was none.

The Cincinnati girl who cam® home the heroine of a romance and bearer of one of England’s proudest titles, looked charming. _Slight, but well formed, with a wealth of glossy blonde hair and & man- ner as democratic as her words promised, she made a pretty picture in the half-light of the ship lamps. She wore a stylish cos- tume of black, with a collar of white lace about her shoulders. As she stepped out into the cool night air she had donned a long black automobile coat trimmed with sable. A hat of black velvet with ostrich lumes set off to advantage her fine Bionde hair, which is almost too light to be 'called golden. The Duke was dressed in a rough-and-réady blue flannel outing suit with trousers z:on'ec(lgJ turned up. Over this he wore a long fur-lined over- coat with deep astrakhan collar and cuffs. The Duke and Duchess brought twenty- seven pleces of baggage. There was a great crowd at the pler to meet them including an army of detectives, who ha been employed by Mr. Zimmerman. The latter had received two anonymous com- munications.
