Marseilles, Nov. 21!. Today's weath
er conditions were us favorable to the
celebration In honor of President Jeni
fers' nrrival as yesterday's were un
favorable and the delay In the arrival
f the Gelderlnnd was a fortunate dis
appointment. The Dutch cruiser was
tieen In the ofllng at T.ao o'clock, but.
the crowds had been made (skeptical
hy yesterday's fiasco and were not on
hand so early to greet her approach.
By 9.30 o'clock, however, when the ves
sel entered the harbor, the visitors
and townspeople were out hi force and
the streets and quays presented tin
animated scene. The decorations,
which had been taken down on ac
count of the storm, reappeared this
morning on the houses. The boer flair,
crossed with the French trl-color. pro
dominated. At the Jollclto landing
stage, the decorations were the mo-it
elaborate. The entrance tn the hotel
Noailles, where Kruger will stop, was
also ablaze with color. The Geld in
land doaked at 10.30 o'clock. The quay
was packed with people, the Boer dele
gates in the foreground joyously halt
ing the aged president of the republic
Whm Kruger apptared, the crowd
cheered madly and "Vive Kruger"
sounded In a steady roar.
On entering mo Harbor, the Gelucr
innd gave a salute of twenty-emu
guns and the light house batto'-y im
plied. Dr. Leyels and several of the
leading delegates embarked in a.
launch and greeted President Kruger
on board thu cruiser. At 10 o'clock
the launch was seen returning and the
crowd supposing that Kruger was
coming ashore, cheered the launch
loudly. It proved to bo Mr. Von Hum
mer, the president's interpreter, who
had come to tell the committee that
. Krugro would not .land till noon. The
committee represented that It had
waited already thirty hours and was
getting tired. So the interpieter re
turned to urge Kruger to hurry. Ho
finally landed at 10.43 o'clock and re
ceived a vociferous ovation. After
handshaking at the quay, the pollen
made a path to the carriages and
the procession started for the hotel.
The Boer president took tint leading
carriage and was elic-end lldl along
the route.
Kruger's Speech.
The following is the text of Mr.
Kruger's speech, on landing:
I thank the president of lire Mars.-ill..", inm
mittce and tlie nrcilJuit ol (he i-mlr.il com
mittee of the independence of the lloiis fir
their welcome. I thank all (his population c
ncmfilcd In great concourse- to trrccl inc. for al
tliough I wear mourning for the mlsfoitiuu-s of
my country and although I have not come to
peek fcstlvitief, htill, I, nevcithclce., accept with
all my heart these aeUnou lctliiiiiiiiti fur 1 Know
they aro dictated to Jon by the inititiniu, which
aru inspired in you by our trials and ly jour
i-jnipathy for our cause, which is Hut of lib
erty which awalcnod you. I am truly proud aim
happy at having chosen ies my point of landing
a port in Trance, to i-ct foot on free oil and
to bo rccehed by jou as a free man. Ilia my
first duty is to thank oui- covcinmcnt for all
the tokens of interest that aerain only recently it
was pleased to Hive me. I heliee Inland, hid
eho been better Informed, would not haw con
cerned to thb war and 6h.ee the expedition of
Jameson, who wished to hcie the two ripublles
Ttithout the necessity of iitinir a ritie idiot, I liave
never censed to demand n tribunal of tibltrath'it,
which up to now, has always been refusal.
The war waged on us in the two republic!
reached the last limits of barbarism. During
my life I have had tn liuhl many times the
aavaifM of the tribcn of Africa, but the barb.n
iaim wo hate to fight now are uoi&e- than tho
others. Tliey even uro tlio Kaftlrs iieraiust uj.
They bum the fanns we worUcd so haul to con
struct and they drlvo out our women mid chil
dren whose husbinds and biothcne they ham
killed cr taken prisoners, leaving tlu in unpro
tected and roofless ami often without bread to
tat. liut, whatever they may do, wo will iic-ut
surrender. We will light to the end. Our Rival
Imperishable confidence rcposis in thu cto,-nal, in
our God. We Know our causa! is just and if (ha
jibtica of men is H.intiug to in, lie, the ctrru.il,
who is Master of all peoples, and to whom be
longs the future, will iicut abandon u.
I assure you that if tha Transvaal awLthe Or
ango l-'reo State must lose their inileptiidoucn it
will bo because all the Boer people luvc been
destroyed, with their women and chihlicn,
The only Incident which marred the
harmony of tho onthuslusni was tlio
throwing of small coins among tho
crowd by guests of a hotel on tho
boulevard as Mr, Ktuger passed. Tho
crowd thought they wore thrown at
Mr. Kruger, and an uproar ensued,
S which necessitated tho Intervention of
the police. There wore no serious con
sequences. Much Indignation was expressed at
tho hotel Incident, us previously
cabled. It now appears that the crowd
called upon tho party throwing sous
from tho balcony to take off their hats
as Mr, Kruger passed, Hut thu seem
ingly plausible explanation was given
that they woro l-higJIshmon, did not
understand French, and foolishly
threw small coin Into the crowd, which
they had frequently done on similar
occasions in England. The French
men misunderstood this and imagined
tho sous were thrown Insultingly ut
Mr. Kruger, hence tho tumult.
Tho crowd endeavored to invade tho
hotel, und hu police prevented this.
"Hut tho hotel people were obliged to
Close their doors and late In tha day
un unfriendly mob was stationed be
fore the building, which was cordoned
by police.
After luncheon and a little repose
Mr. Kruger descended again to tho
hall of the hotel, where he received the
delegations. Kventually the effort be
coming too fatiguing, he asked that the
other addresses be presented to hint
In writing and then withdrew again
to his apartments, where ho passed
the evening quietly, receiving no oi.
Tho following message was read:
"I am fatigued and am In motirnlncr.
Moreover, 1 never attend banquet.
Otherwise I should have liked to spend
a few minutes with you and to thank
you. 1 shall never forget the warm
welcome I have had in your beautiful
city. Your reception of mo has sur
passed all 1 could have expected oven
from the city which gave Franco her
admirable national hymn, that 'Mar
selllase,' which is the song of all peo
ple whose iudcjiendence Is threatened
and whu are struggling against in
vaders. "I would that your acclamation
.could be heard by alt those lloers In
arms who are encamped In our moun
tains. They would thank you from tho
bottom of their hearts. I thank you
In their behalf.
"Could I have been with you I should
have expressed my thanks to all
France and would have raised my
glass In honor of her worthy presi
dent, M. J.oubet."
Dr. heyds then said: "In tho name,
of President Kruger I have the honor
to drink to the health of the president,
of the French republic."
Air. Kruger will leave for Paris at !t
o'clock tomorrow morning, remaining
one night en route at Dijon. A recep
tion is being arranged.

Order of Bishop Els in Michigan
Causes Discord in His Diocese.
Hy Exclusive Wire from The Awoclateel l'rcw.
Ishpemlng, Mich., Xov. 22. A stir In
Catholic circles In Mareiuetto county,
as well as In other parts of the dloccso
of Marquette and Satilto Sto Marie,
has been created by an order which
recently emanated from the episcopal
oiltce under hand and seal of Bishop
Frederick 101s, and which, according
to prominent Catholics of foreign
birth, will result In a formal and public
protest.
Tho order dlrected that all priests
of the diocese should henceforth pro
mulgate tho gospel In thu Kngllsh
language.
"We're all Americans." was t..e spir
ited manner in which the bishop's eln
cree was made, but many of his par
ishioners feel that the patriotic move
ment, however commendalile, is un
wise owing tei ths Injustice which will
result from an enfore-cniunt of tho
episcopal order in a diocese where
there.' is a large foielgn eleuii'iit. As
yet there has been no visible- demon
stration of discontent, but It exists
in a strong decree, and there are; un
mistakable indications of a vigorous
public protest. It Is said an appeal
may be taken to Koine.
ARTHUR SULLIVAN DEAD.
English Composer Expires Suddenly
in London Heart Disease the
Cause of Death.
By Ecluit Wiie from The Associated 1'ie-.-.
London, Xov. 22. Sir Arthur Sulli
van, the musical composer, died today
from heart disease. It occurred at 9
o'clock this morning. He was laugh
ing and talking in his house a few
minutes before he died,
Ivater It became known that Sir Ar
thur Sullivan had beon ailing since
he returned from Switzerland, in the
middle of September last. Ho caughc
a chill there and his chest and lungs
became, affected. Ho took to his bed
a fortnight ago, but was' convalescing
and sitting up in his bed Just before
he1 expired.
rthur Seymour Sullivan was hum in London
nn May 11, 1842. Ilk musical caicer was iictnm
tweho years latci, when he entered the choir
of the Chapel lto.i.il, Windsor, as a choikter. A
jeor liter he publkhed his first song, and was
fleeted the first Mendelsohn scholar. He studied
o year in the lto.al .Uadciny of Miiiic, under
Stemd.ilc Bennett and O.. and in lS.jfi ucnt to
Leipsic, where he stajed (or three years, Mudy
inc with Moschelles, llauptmann, Hichtcr, Plaidy
and othcis fhiring uhich time he uroto his (hit
music that marked him as a composer if prom
iM the oeiteirc to I, .ilia Itookli, sonic hiring
onarlcttns and hk incidental music t" ShaUc
hpe.ir'1 "The Tempest,"
Sullivan'.- contributions to aeilnin ui'ihlc neie
irany and important. Hi orcheiiral and rhoi.il
crks wcic among tho best that Knzland hai
previiie.ee'. Among his ehoial ttoii.s may bo
mentioned Kenilworlh (loM), the Prodigal Son
(IHO. the Light of (he World (l'JJ), the
Martyr of Autioeh (lO), ami the doleltn Legend
(JiSil). He wrote alsn ttto ballets. Pile en

(1M)7), and incidental inivle tn ihe Tempest,
tho Meich.int of Venice, Meny Wiecs of Wind
sor, llemy VIII, Macbeth iivl King Aitlmr.
But it will be as a composer ot opera, and
especially of light opeia, that he will bo lies'
rcinemhoiiHl, and it is in woik of that cl.i-., ih.il
lit' takes suih an impoitaut place in musical hi'
lory, one with which (hat of t)nuhi'li m t'i'.mn
Jdune is compaiablc. As eaily an 1S07 he began
work in that line-, his (h-t attempt being (ho
e'oiniii piece, "Box and 1'ov," width still is
giun at amateur riitcrtaininciiN. That was
followed in the same year ly "The Cimlm
bandlsti," a work which was icwritten siv cars
bro for l''rarcis Wilson and achieved onlv a mud
cute success under thu name ef "The Chlcltain."
In Ihil came a thin! and now almost, hngotten
i work called "Thepl-."
j Then came un alliance which had .is its icoi.lt
a sencs ot masterly pieces of a light natme which
stand out alone in comic opera as belli,' uii.ip
pioaihed by any of that genre, Sulllejri's pait
nerslilp with W. S liilbert began in sV5 and
wvs continued uninterrupted for ilflecn year-, in
which time their work eh lighted the whole of
, the Kimlh-lespcahin? race. Their first opera w.n
I "A Tiial by Jury," a little pleic widen has not
)it lost Its freshness, and is still mug now and
then. That w followed by "The Zoo" (p,7.'i)
and "The Sarcoid" (KT7). Tho fouiier was lit
tle known In this country mid tho latter nctcr
had much popularity, although it has bien re
ived tmn time to time let the Savoy in London.
, Hut the nct year, 1S7S, brought out "II. M. S,
' I'lnnfoie." No e'lii can forget the srniation tint
made in thk country. It was a rewlition of
the possibilities wiilch lay in this foim ot amuse
ment. 'Tinafr.ii" was followed by "'Ihe Pir.iicn. of
Penzance" in 1S?0. Then came "Patltme1" in
lfl, "lolanthe" In Hf-. "I'rince-ss Iel.i" (not so
succcsi-ful as the last) In 1SSI, "The Mikado" in
1SS3, "Huddigoru" in 17", "Tho Yeoman of the
Ouard" In ISfcS and "The fioniMIcrs" in ISA).
The height ole xcellciioe ws re-ached In "The
Mikado," for, although thu last three ruined had
decided merits, and "Tho fiondoller" especially
achieved considerable popuhiity, none of them
was so successful as the preceding ones and aic
now rarely lieuiel.
In the meantime Sullivan li.ul turned hN atten
tion to grand cpei.i and wiote "Ivanhoe" (1S01)
mid "Haddon Hall" (lf2), but It was plain tint
his talent did not lie in that direction, and
neither of them had moro than a succes il'rstlme.
With P. 0. Ilurnond lie rewrote "Tho Couira
bandWa" miller tho title ( "Tho f'ldcflalu,"
but It wat practlcilly n failure. In 1.VJI he
vroto "Tho Grand Duke," also with Buimiid; in

and last year with Badl Hood he wrote "I'ho
Hoi-o of Persia." At tho time of his death hn
was pulllir; tho finishing touches to another
piece, of which Hood was the librettist, au Irish

GREAT BATTLE WITH

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation

.Stioiidslmrg, Ia., Xov. 22. A great
legal lis!". I on ill tho jvlemroe countv
courts hi twf-e-a the Lehigh Coal silul
Navigation e-oinpany. which furnishes
power to many corporations in lead
ing cities along the line of the Lehigh
Valley anil the large lee companies
whose- plurts arc located in the Poconei
mountains In this county. A few days
ago an. injunction was Issued by the
.Monroe county e-ourt on application ot
tho I.ehlgh Coal and Navigation com
pany, restiiiining' the American ice
company from erecting dams or pools
in the Lehigh river or Its tributaries
for the pui pose of forming and gather
ing ice.
Tlie Ameilcan lee company paid un
attention to the court's order and an
attachment, for contempt was issued
against the company by the court, unel
a rule a granted to show cause why
a rule of sequestration should not ho
grunted against the American Ice com
pany, lessee of the Pocono Spring Wat
er company.
On argument, however, before Judge
Craig and associates today the Ameri
can Ice company was relieved eif tho
charge of contempt, General Frank
Keetler, counsel for the company, hav
ing tiled an answer claiming that' the
Ainerionu lee company had no control
or authority whatever over the pond
eir dam of the Pocono Spring Wati'r
Ice company, which company is tlio
real owner, the American Ice company
being only the lessee. An Injunction
has now been obtained by tlio Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company against
the Pocono Spring Water Ice com
pany. The argument em the Injunc
tion Issueel last week against the
American Ice company and the Tohy
hanna Water Supply company will be
hoard tomorrow.
The light between tho hehlgh Coal
anil Navigation company and the Ico
coiupanlos is due entirely to tho pres
ent drought. Thu Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company denies the right
of any corporation or individual to go
upon tho Lehigh river or its tribu
taries, which aro tho Tobyhanna nnd

rives Forty-eight Hours Overdue,
and to Add to Other Misfortunes,
Is Stuck i'i tho Mud in the Lower
Bay After Passing: Sandy Hook.
Wrecking Steamers Summoned.
Passengers Disgusted.
By inclusive Wire, from The Associated Press.
New York. Nov-. 22. The North tier
man Lloyd steamer, the Kaiser Wil
helm 13er Grossc, arrived today, forty
eight hours overdue, and tev add to her
other misfortunes, grounded in tho
lower 'bay, after passing hi Handy
lttiok. Tho cmifo of her delay was pri
marily thcivveather. From the moment
of leaving Cherbourg on Xov. 14, she
experlencoel .stormy weather. At time
the seas boarded Iho high side ctuft
and caused some damage to her rails
ami tlttliiKS. On tho 18th at 8 p. m.
one blade of tho port propeller was
loaf and thu engineers were obliged to
slow down the engines. This, with the
successive gales, reduced the dally av
erage; of the steamer over 100 knots.
The following days the weather con
tinued stormy.
On the 21st a coal trimmer named
Knick, jumped overboard and was lost.
Ho was a. German about 17 years of
age. .
Today a Sandy Hook pilot hoarded
tho vessel. On rounding- tne southwest
spit, the steamer being under too much
headway te turn the sharp angle of
the channel ran into the mud. Later,
In backing; off she fouled a spar buoy
and it Is supposed that tho chain
wound about the propeller as the vessel
stopped and was unable to move. Two
wrecking steamers went -to her assist
ance, but the captain and piloL.thought
the tugs wore not able to tow the vessel
in. A diver's services will bo used to
morrow morning to ascertain tho ex
act condition before any attempt Is
made to move her.
When it -was learned that tlie Kalbi-r
Wilhelm Der Grosse nud grounded in
the lower bay, tho deputy health officer
WftKt with tlie revenue ctitti3it-t'c- l'tv
steamer and examined the passengers
and granted pratique. Tho Kaiser Wil
helm Dor Grosse has on board tl2ri
saloon, S28 second csibln and 673 steer
age passengers.
The passengers did not eappcur to be
in any way excited tonight, but all
were disgusted at the sudden stoppage
so close to shore, and many chafed
at the delay which resulted in their
detention on board for another night.
The two wrecking- tugs are lying near
by to render any assistance necessary.
