The few criminally foolish Englishmen, whose ill timed levity at the Hotel da Lovre in Marseilles exasperated the people in the streets there, never dresmed of tbe serious consequences of their set Tbey sowed tbe wind and today tbe English people are reaping the whirlwind The news of the supposed insult to Mr Kruger seems to have spread across France, at all stations, bot especially Lyoos and Dijon, shouts for the Bosrs were mingled with loud cries of "Down with the English" In deed, at Lyons tbe denunciations of the English drowned tbe shooting of tbe Boers. This is a disturbing fea? ture which is universally discussed. Fears are expressed that tomorrow's reoeption in Paris may assume ? cbsraoter calculated to arouse the feeling of Great Britsin against France to such sn extent as to result I in unpleasant relstions betweeo tha i two countries. The warmth of en thosihsm resched in Marseilles yes? terday palpably rained the spirits of m{ Kruger snd his advisers to a high pitch. The faces of Dr Lydes, Mr Fisher sod others, which, on the eve of tho srrivsl of Mr Kruger revealed the anxiety felt regarding his reoeption, were today lighted up with happiness snd confidence Evi? dently hope had revived in sli that his mission to Europe would be crowned with success I Hl* Ufo Waa Saved. !

Manila, Nov 21.?Gen MaoArthur was asked today whether the result of the presidential election in the United btates was in any way responsible for the rush orders to push operations against the Filipinos He replied that the result of the eleotioj was merely coincident with other features of the situation. He added that the retut j of the soldiers and marines from China, with the recruits who had arrived recently, would increase the number of troops to 70 OOC men. The enlarge? ment of the force-;, the ending of the rainy season, better roads, improved transportation and the desire to mage the most efficient use of the volunteers before their term of eervioe expires in June, are all eontributsry to the most active osmpaign. Concerning the replaoing of 35,000 volunteers, Gen MaoArthur said he favors the establishment of a stsnding army of 75,000 men and authorising the president to inorease it to 100,000 men. The general also said he was enlarg? ing the foroe in Gen Young's district t) oeirly 7,000 men, that heavy rein foroemeots were being sent to Gen Hughes in tbe Island of Panay, that more troops bad been ordered to sooth ern Loion, and that various column movements bad been planned.

In thst case, such of the men in the ranks as care to continue in the service will be reenlisted as regulars, and any vacancies thst may exist through the muster out of the volunteers will be supplied by origi? nal enlistments in the United States It is believed that these enlistments csn be made in time to replace all the retired Philippine volunteers before tbe first of the next fiscal year with? out causing any hiatus.

Tbe board met to declare tb j? vote as cast in tbe State, and bad not there been two contests presented to and beard by them the session would have been merely of a routine charac? ter, for tbe official vote has already been tsbulated and given in detail to tbe public through tbe Stste The contests were from the first and seventh congreesional districts. In the first, W. W. Becket. who opposed Col. William Hlliott snd was defeated, protested against the certi? ficate of election being given Col. Elliott. In the seventb N D Dantz ler, colored, made a protest against Dr. Stokes being declared elected. The grounds upon which these de? feated Republican candidates made tbeir contest hsve already been pub? lished aod tbe whole matter was gone over again today. Beckett was re* presented by John D Edwards, a colored lawyer of Charleston, snd Dsntzler had as his attorney Jacob Moorer, a negro lawyer of Orange burg, Congressman Elliott was repre? sented by Mr Willism Elliott, Jr , stid Congressman Stokes had as bis attorney Mr 3 H. Moss o: Orange burg Tbe first case heard was the Beckett contest. Tbe same old stock protests were made by Attorney Edwards, which have been beard by tbe bo?wd for several yesrs past. He I Fa d that tbe first ground of protest j was that the tickets did not show for what congress Col Elliott was a candidate, and he claimed that it should have appeared that he was a I candidate for the fifty seventh con? gress. He objected on legal grounds to the words "For representative in congress, first district,'' without tbe addition of the words, "fifty seventh congress ." He also raised the ques tion as to the color of the tickets, saying that many of them were print? ed on tinted paper. Od being atked to preseat 002 whieh had been voted he laid that, he cnld not do so. but be handed ?0 ono which he said had besn offered vote'p It coald not be exaotly be discovered what that particular ticket was put in evi? dence for, because it was white ind of tbe regulation sits Mr Elliott prompt? ly acquiesced in its being put in evi? dence Mr Elliott in his argument was brief sod showed that tbe protest was tbo regulation one which had been made before, aod that The same point bad been decided against by the hoard eevcral times before. There was absolu ely no evidence presented to the bor. d that there had been any fraud or vioisttoo of law in the election and .he content was promptly dismissed In tbe case of' Daatz'er v. 8tok??s tbe geeneral contention of tbe counsel for the contestant was 01 the ground of <be illegality of the election laws of the 8rate,special reference being made to the suffrage provisions. Mr Moss replied briefly, showing incidentally that tbe election laws were I:*gal and pointing out specifically that no evidence bad be:n presented which showed (hat qualified electors had oct bad a fell and free expression of tteir choice for congressmen in tbe seventh district.
