Ay Inclusive Wire from The Associated Pir-m. 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. PARIS IS WITH HIM.

Ilk musical caicer was iictnm tweho years latci, when he entered the choir of the Chapel lto.i.il, Windsor, as a choikter.

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.
