'MARSEILLES, Nov. 20. Ex-President
Kroger will probablyland here Tbptsday,
Instead of tomorrow? Bad" weather'fs re
ported In the Mediterranean, and the
Dutch cruiser Gelderland. on which he is
a passenger, may ,hug the coast of the
Gulf of Genoa in preference to heading
direct for Marseilles, so as to avoid the
cross seas. She will thus reach thi port
tomorrow evening. Instead of tonight.
Every preparation, however. has been
made for Mr. Kruger's possible landing
tomorrow morning. The- police and mili
tary are held la reaainess,"-and the Boer
reception committee has not made any
change In the arrangements for the recep
tion at the dock. Workmen have been
busy erecting flagstaffs along the water
aide at La Joliette, and At the outer dock,
where the steam launch with Mr. Kruger
on Tsoard- will land.
Siris certain that Mr. KfugerX fjrriyal
& bghje occasion Tge$ ?",ar
neraonstration along-the route--from the
doek to the hotel. whlob fir situated on
-he principal boulevard, known as- the
JCanneblere. It is equally .certain that the
formal proceedings will not be Invested
with the importance which occasion
warrants, owing to the abstention from
them jot the Prefect, Mayor and other
functionaries la their official capacity.
A surprise came today in the shape of
the arrival here of Eloff.. Mr. Kruger's
.private secretary, who left the Gelderland
at Port Said and came ahead on a French
steamer. Eloff left Mr Kruger in perfect
health and spirits. The President occu
pies three cabins situated in the stern
of the Gelderland. His dining-room is
decorated with the portraits of the Dutch
royal family, a picture of Queen WI1
helmlna In the place of honor.
The Boer delegates, Messrs. Fischer,
Wesssels and Grobler, who haVe also ar
rived here, expressed to the representa
tive of the Associated Press their earnest
wish to have the American people with
them in their efforts to secure a termina
tion of the war. They said they knew Mr.
Kruger also appreciated American sym
pathy and hoped It would lead to prac
tical favors to the cause of his country.
The delegates, however, were unable to
say exactly what Mr. Kruger would de
cide to do after landing In France.
There Is much talk in Marseilles to the
effect that a counter demonstration will
occur dr that anti-English outcries may
be raised, which would result In street dis
orders. But neither the Prefect nor the
American Consulate officials attach the
slightest Importance to these rumors. A
pro-Boer committee has Issued an appeal,
copies of which were posted this after
noon, oalllng on the people to cheer for
Mr Kruger and the Boers, but to re
frain from any Anglophobe demonstra
tion. "The crowd in the streets to witness the
arrival of Mr. Kruger," sas the Prefect
of the Department today "will probably
exceed 100,000, which is a fifth of the popu
lation of Marseilles. Nevertheless., no
disorder. In my opinion, will occur. The
sympathies of the inhabitants are un
doubtedly with the Boers and Mr. Kru
ger will receive a rousing recaption ex
cept for a few Isolated cries aealnst Eng
land, which Jt will be Impossible to pre
vent, but which will be promptly re
pressed. "We live here on the best of 1
terms with the English colony, and wish
to romain .so. Mr; Kruger wil. mejst with
Elian, an. official Teceptionas is- given to
a ohlet of a state when he travels in
cognito." M. Flassiers, the Mayor of Marseilles,
expressed himself in similar terms, but
this optimism Is not shared entirely by
some members of the English colony, who
have discerned paid agents of the Anglo
phobe cause among some of the recent
arrivals. The Prefect, howeer, Is known
to be an energetic man. He has taken
strong military precautions, and ther gar
rison, numbering about 6000 men, will be
held In readiness, but out of sight, at
the Infantry barracks. In close proxim
ity to the British Consulate, where no
uneasiness 1$ felt.
The Beer delegates fully appreciate the
advantage accruing to their cause when
the Frenoh welcome Is- chiefly engineered
by the aRti-Minlsteriat party, thus 'de
tracting immensely from its pslltlcat im
portance. Messrs. Fischer and Wessels this after
noon expressed regret -t the partisan
character which the demonstration is as
suming. They compared it -with their re
ception in the United States by the Demo
crats, which the declared had opposed
the Republicans to them. Both insisted,
however, that the result of the American
elections has In no way modified their
hope "that the United States would yet
support the Boer cause.
"The United States," said Mr. Fischer,
"remains a force In the councils of civ
ilized, nations, and we trust this force
will eventually be oxeroised in bringing
the war to such an end as will protect
our rights. So atrocious have been the
cruelties practiced by British officers and
men upon our women and children that
we would rather fight the oriiel and
bloodthirsty Basutos and Zulus than the
British Army. Our men whose homes
have been burned and whose women and
children have been carried Into captiv
ity will fight to the death. No Boer Gen
era! will surrender."
The delegates said It was significant
that General Dewet, "whose heroic ex
pi61ts have awakened the admiration and
sympathy of the British people." was
not now mentioned In the British dis
patches. Mr. Fischer explained that this
was due to the fact that the British Gov
ernment "now realizes that Dewet is be
coming too popular in England."
MARSEILLES. NovT 21. 1 A. M. Up to
midnight no definite news was heard as
to the whereabouts of the Gelderland.
but arrangements are going forward for
a possible reception this morning and for
& banquet this evening, at which, how
ever, Mr. Kruger is not likely to be pres
ent. THE CZAR'S ILLXESS.
Hts Condition Reported to Be Fairly
Satisfactory.
UVADIA, Nov. 20 Tho bulletin Issued
by the Czar's physicians today is less fa
vorable. It says.
"The Emperor passed a satisfactory day
yesterday. At 9 In the evening the pa
tient's temperature was 102.2, pulse, SO.
His Majesty slept tranquilly until 3 in the
morning. Subsequently his rest was
broken aad perspiration appeared. This
morning his condition was fairly satis
factory; temperature, 104.4; pulse, 70."
Speculation as to Its Cause.
LONDON. Nov. 50. The Czar's slight re
lapse is attributed, says the Moscow cor
respondent of the Dally Mall, to an in
jurious dietary. Dr, Erhfuher, a German
specialist, writing In the St. Petersburg
Yledrnosti, says that the. Czar's tempera
sent, so far as heart action Is concerned.
Is so abnormal that It might deceive ex
perts, and he has misgivings that the
physicians attending may have been mis
led in diagnosing the case. The advices
received at Copenhagen from Livadla con
tinue satisfactory.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times, wiring Sunday, says:
' "Strict censorship prevents the newspa
pers here from saying a word concerning
the Czar beyond The bulletins! " No au
ji?aUe -details-iire'-obtainable as to. the

way the illness was caused. The court
Minister has not even favored the Am
bassadors with a word of explanation.
Private information has reached me that
His .Majesty first caught cold from ex
cess In bathing."
HI Worlc Goes On.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20. The Min
isters have been, entrusted wth the con
duct of current business during the pres

them carrying on his department accord

on important matters being postponed for
the time being.
BROWN'S DEFALCATION
Experts Find That His Shortage Is
; , GroTvinsr.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 20. The experts
working on the books of the German Na
tional Bank, at Newport, Ky., report to
day that they have so far found a short
age of $155,000 in the accounts of Frank
M. Brown, the missing ashler. There
have been all sorts of reports today about
Brown having been seen at Indianapolis,
Fort Wayne and other points after he left
St Louis last Wednesday, but none of
these reports Is believed here and the.
whereabouts of Brown remain a mystery.
No reward has yet been offered for his
apprehension.
The clerks of the German National
Rank who are working with Receiver
Tucker's experts today discovered an
other plan operated by Brown. When a
check was entered October 31 for $3 45, he
entered It as $3003 45, and got the benefit
of 13000. The same day- be put "2" In
fronjf of an entry of 5150 and got $2000
We xThe experts' say that Brown re
peotedfy credited himself with $1000, $2000
and "$3000 deposits when he did not de
posit anyinmg, dui took1 oui inai amount
soon afterward. Brown's books show that
he did sot strike for sums less than $1000
in any off thes,e transactions.
The first suit brought in the case of
the, bank was instituted today by Re
ceiver Tucker. It Was la the nature of a
blanket attachment on all the property of
Frank: M. Brown, and is to cover $20,000
of the shortage. This amount is alleged
to have been taken within the past 12
months, and Includes the first items dis
covered in the shortage. v
Tonight, Commissioner Leonard, on the
affidavits uf the examiners, issued a war
rant for the arrest of Brown. The offi
cers have telegraphed to Coast points for
his apprehension, and will have the war
rant ready In case Brown is caught. There
Is still much talk about others being un
der surveillance, buf-no arrests are ex
pected unless certain persons 'should at
tempt to leave.
DAKK ROBBERS UNSUCCESSFUL.
Desperate Attempt to Get Into a
Country Bank's Vault.
DELAWARE, O., Nov. SO. A dozen pro
fessional bank robbers, all masked, made
a desperate attempt to secure the con
tents of the money vault of Sperry &
Warnsteff's Deposit Bank, at Ashley, 10
miles north of here, today before day
light. Whle nine stood on guard holding
the citizens at bay with their guns, three
placed dynamite under the deposit vault
of the brick building. The bank's prop
erty is worth $50,000, and there was $15,000
in cash in the bank.
Four attempts were made to get at the
cash, but the side door held to Its com
bination, while the guards outside were
shooting at the citizens who pressed close
ly In upon them. Dr. Buckley and Guy
Shoemaker, the first upon the scene, were,
met by the robbers at the Dolnt of the
gun and bade to move. The robb.ers stole
a horse and spring wagon and a team and
new surrey from farmers near by. The
rigs waited in front of the bank for
flight. The single horse ran away, de
molishing the vehicle, when the men in it
took across the country on foot. The
damage to fhe bank building, vault and
other property 1 about half Its value.
The gang left Morengo on a Big Four
freight, jat 1, o'clock, stole-, .the horses and
,rlgs, and, reached Ashley shortly! after 2
o'olock. They pried open the big doors
J without being discovered, but the first ex
plosion of dynamite aroused the, town.
The gapg fired as they fled, but no one
was hit.
Attempt to Mob a Juda-e.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20 "Back! Stand back!
The first one who comes over that railing
Is a dead man."
With these words and with a revolver
in his hand to make them good, Attorney
John Tralnor, assisted by Constable
De. Young, saved Justice Peter De Young
from being mobbed In his own courtroom
In South Holland, In Thornton township.
The demonstration against the Magis
trate was brought about as a result of
the Justice's refusing to deal lenlontly
with Jacob Frlesma, who had been ar
rested on. a charge of conducting, a "blind
P"gv"
When the rush was made toward the
Magistrate. Attorney Tralnor and Con
stable De Young jumped to the Justice's
sjde and drew their revolvers. They com
manded the crowd to draw back, but they
were only partly obeyed Then the attor
ney for the defense asked for a change of
venue, and It was granted, and th.q Mag
istrate signed the papers while his two
friends stood over him with their revol

RUTLAND, Vt, Nov. 20. A special to
the Herald from Montpeller says: A re
port is current here that G. L. Closson,
cashier of the First National Bank of
Springfield, Vt., is $20,000 short in his ac
counts. F. G. Field, the president of
Lthe bank, made the following statement
last night:
"Cashier Closson some time ago allowed
his son. G. L. Closson, Jr., a member
of the defunct broker's firm of Knott &
Closson,. of Burlington, to draw $16,000
from the bank, giving as security a deed
to real estate which has since proved
to be worthless. As the deed was made
out to Closson personally his bondsmen
have bean called upon to make the
amount good. They have asked that
Closson be retained as cashier, while
they are making an investigation."
The credit of the bank; Is in no way im
paired. Called to the. President's Attention.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. The burning of the
negro, Porter, at the stake by the citi
zens of Limon, Colo., will be brought
to the attention of President McKlnley
by the Methodist ministers of Chicago.
At a meeting in the First Methodist
Church they passed a resolution censuring
the Governor of Colorado, the Sheriff and
the citizens who composed the mob, and
resolved to request the President to call
attention in his next message to the 2000
persons put to death by mobs in tho tast
10 years and urge him to recommend to
Congress suitable legislation that shall
secure to every person accused of crime
a fair trial and hold criminally liable all
persons constituting mobs to torture,
r murder and burn.

CONSIDERED RY THE CABINET.
United States. THU Noi Be Driven
Ont ot the Concert.
WASHINGTON,. Nov.JO. The, Qhinese
situation Was the main topic unSer con
sideration ja.t today's Cabinet meeting.
The Administration is hot disposed to Join
With the other governments In making de
mands upon Chinese Imperial authorities
which- the Chinese Government rcannot
comply with. So far as our Government is
advised, the foreign Ministers at Pekin,
have not yet agreed on all points under
discussion. Mr, Conger has received from
time to time the various propositions un
der consideration, but he has not yet in
dicated, that anything In the nature of an
agreement has been reached upon which
the various powers might act and whiph
is to serve as a basis of negotiations with
the Chinese authorities.
Mr. Conger has not, However, been heard
from for a week, and this fact has caused
some discouragement to the officials who
expected that this phase of the difficulty
would soon be closed. Having passed over
the stage ot proscription of the Chinese
leaders who were responsible for the Box
er outrages, the foreign Ministers are
believed now to be engaged with thedlffl
cult subjects of indemnities and guaran
tees. The last United States proposition was
in line With the Russian project to allow
The Hague Commissioners to adjust the
indemnities. It is believed that this prop
osition has never commended Itself to the
British or the German Governments, and
falling such a reference to the question
of indemnity, It Is believed that It will be
a most difficult task for the Ministers -at
Pekln to reach an agreement on thls,sub
Ject, particularly In view of the existence
of a very strong suspicion of the motives
of some of those Ministers.
This apparent difference. In original pur
pose between the United States Govern
ment and some of the other powers baa
operated to prevent a settlement of the
Chinese question upon the broad lines laid
down In the State Department's propo
sition. It Is true that all of the powers
subscribed more or less reluctant assent
to such proposals as look to the prevention
of the partition of China and the guaran
tee of an "open door ' to all comers, yet
It begins to appear from the course of
the negotiations that either these promises
were not sincere in all cases or that some
of the makers honestly have changed
their minds as to what shall be done for
the present in China.
It may he stated, however, regardless
of the embarrassments and dehiys "that
follow from the existence of this state
of affairs that the United States Govern
ment does not propose to be driven out of
the concert relative to China, at this Junc
ture In the negotiations. Notwithstanding
the wish cherished by tho Administration
to free the Government from these entan
glements at the earliest possible moment
and to withdraw entirely our military
forces from China, it has definitely been
determined that this shall not be done
until all proper Interests of the United
States In China have ben conserved.
THE IMPERIAL EDICT.
Chinese Order for the Punishment of
4.ntl-Forclsrn Officials.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The Japanese
Legation has received from the Foreign
Office, at Tokio, the text of the Chinese
Imperial edict, dated the ISth Inst, on the
punishment ot the anti-foreign officials.
It Is to the following effect
"Orders have already been Issued for
the punishment of the officials responsi
ble for opening hostilities upon friendly
powers, and bringing the country Into the
present critical condition by neglecting to
suppress and even by encouraging the
Boxers. But as Pekln and its neighbor
hood have not yet been entirely clea)red
of the Boxers, the Innocent people are
still suffering terribly through the devas
tation of their fields and tho destruction
of their houses, a state of affairs which
cannot fall to fill one with the bitterest
feelings against these officials. Ana If
they are not severely punished, how can
the anger of the people be appeased and
tho Indignation ot the foreign powers he
allayed?
Accordlngly.-Prince Tuan is hereby de.
priyed ot his title and rank, and shall,
together with Prince Chwang, who has
already been deprived of his title, be de
livered to the Clan Court to be kept in
prison until the restoration ot peace, when
they shall be banished td Sheng King., to
be Imprisoned for life. Princes Yl and
Tsai Yung, who have both been already
deprived of their titles, are also to be de

Board of Civil Appointment, upon his re
turn from the commission on which he
had been sent for the purpose of making
inquiries Into the Boxer affair, 'he me
morialized the throne in an audience
strongly to their favor. He should have
been severely punlshed but for his death
from Illness, and all penalties are accord
ingly remitted. Cbao Bhuy Yao, Minis

been sent on a mission similar to that of
Kang Yl, returned almost Immediately.

Though such conduct was a flagrant

"We have full knowledge of the present

therefore, thpugbTno Impeachment had
been brought by Chinese officials at home
or abroad against. Princes Yl, Tsai Lien
and Tsai Yung, we order them to be pun

t r Impatience In England.
NETfc" YORK, Nov. 20. There Is a grow
ing! feeling of Impatience In London, over
tho de,lay in effecting a settlement of the
Chinese, questions, says a Tribune cable
gram. The English press frankly con
fesses that It Is hearing about punitive
expedulona to one quarter or another,
and that it considers It hardly worth
while to keep all China in a state of tur
moil preventing thereby restoration of
normal trade relations In order to punish
a few criminals who cannpt be caught
whlla the. court remains In exile.
English opinion will not be fully ex
pressed until the cues are provided by the
Foreien Office, but It is falrlv safe to as
sume that," It supports the American con
tention tiiat the most urgent requirement
ot the situation Is tiro establishment at
Pekln of a government with the essen

Since there can be no substitute for the
Empress' rule, her return to the capital
seems a foregone conclusion.

THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH
' ,. ' ; :
THE SUBJECT OF CRITICISM IN THE;!
GERMAN REICHSTAG.
Count Von RuIott Accepts Full Re
sponsibility for the Kaiser's
Rasa Tallc.
BERLIN, Nov. 20. The debate on the
government's policy in China was con
tinued in the Reichstag today, Herr Has
sermann expressing gratification at the
Anglo-Jrmau agreement.
Herr Rlchter declared the Radicals were
of the Opinion, after -the assassination ot
Baron von Kctteler, that a military dem
onstration In China was absolutely neces
sary, but the dispatch, of an, ironclad di
vision, "was superfluous. He alluded, to
the public declarations of. Emperor Wl'l
lam, saying they were obviously intended
to influence public opinion. Herr Rlchter
added that he thought the Emperor
should first have reached an understand
ing with the competent Ministers regard
ing the tenor and wording of these decla
rations, asserting that much that was ob
jectionable and displeasing would have
been obviated. Politics and religion, he
continued, ought not to have been mixed
up as they had been In the Emperor's
speeches, because the effect was to spoil
both.
"The greatest mistake ot our China
policy,'' concluded Herr Rlchter, "was
after the Chlno-Japanese war, when we
Joined with. Russia ana irrance In oppos
ing Japan."
Herr Rlchter's advice to the Emperor to
consult his Ministers elicited much ap
proval. Count von BulOw. Imperial Chancellor,
replylng.to Herr Rlchter, said:
"Prince von Hohenlohe was much Im
pressed by the article In the Freissinnlge
Zeitung, which tSntended that it was
inadvisable to assemble the Reichstag. I
am betraying po secret when I say that
Tim one of those who saw very serious
and important reasons for summontng It."
Referrn to Herr Rlchter's criticism ot
Emperor Wllllams speeches, Count von
Bulow remarked:
"1 accept the full responsibility for them.
The speech at Bremerhaven was extem
Dorancous. delivered at a time when it
was assumed that all Europeans In Pekin
had been murdered. It was natural, un
der such circumstances, that the Kaiser
should 'speak as a soldier and not as a
diplomat,"
IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER.
Debate on the Budget for the Min
istry ef Foreign Affairs.
PARIS, Nov. 20. The debate on the
budget for the Ministry of Foreign Af
fairs was continued in the 'Chamber ot
Deputies today.
M. Denys Cochin, Conservative- during
the course of a speech, pronounced him
self In favor of upholding the honor of
France and of the French troops in China.
M.' Ludldn Mlllflvoye, Nationalist, said
he considered it necessary to maintain a
large expeditionary force In China.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, M.
Delcasse, explained at length the origin
of the for.ee necessary to relieve the for
eign Le'gallons at Pekln. In so do
ing he referred to the heroism displayed
in the defense of tho Legations, and de
clared the accusations of cruelty against
the French and international troops were
unfounded. He .added:
"The eight powers have met In an at
tempt to reconcile their interests and
claims, all of them wishing to respect
the integrity and even the independence
of China. Special claims must bo

lend the slightest color to suspicions ex
pressed in the United Sates that the
pledges ot tho powers to prevent parti

not be trusted. The assurance that
America will not be driven out of tho
concert will be most welcome in all quar
ters, although much astonishment must
be felt at the Implied suggestion that.
anything has happened to drive tne
United States out of the concert."
