When he made the declaration which moved even men to tears, that not until the last Boer--man, woman, and child--had died would England conquer, It seemed as if the citizens of Marseilles would rend the aid with their shouting. Marseilles, having witnessed the mismanagement of Dr. Leyds and the French Boer commit­ tee yesterday, endeavored to make up for the blunders by doubling the en­ thusiasm. Harmony by no means ex­ isted and the clash in arrangements nearly prevented the President from lauding at the hour expected. Dipiotnttic N«erotiitions Progress.
