Prince Humbert ana the Princess Marguerite
arrived here yesterday afternoon at four O'Clock,
having left Florence at six in the morning by
special or royal train They stayed to rest for
short time at Term, and were warmly received by
the population OF that quiet little town, where In
addition to the famous WATERFALL there was an cx-
tempore water Jete In the shape Of tremendous
shower OF rain. Rain 10 quite the order of the day
in Rome and Its environs and one is surprised at

the royal family Of Italy do not bring with them
what In England Is callod "Queen's weather.
RAINY RECEPTIONS.
1t raned in Rome on New Years Eve when the
King arrived and 1t rained yesterday four O'clock
when the Hereditary Prince and his lovely bride,
with their bonny little son the Prince OF Naples,
drove from the railway station to the Palace OF the
Qurina. But even the hOrrid weather did not damp
the spirits Of the Roman citizens, and the streets
leading to the station and palace were thronged
with people, all anxious ana determined to receive
the royal trio with befttng honor. The military
and civil authorities, headed by General La Mar
mora, the Luogotenente or the Roman provinces,
and Prince Doria the representative OF the SIN
daco-Who does not yet exist-mustered In great
force, and were backed and strengthened by the
four legons OF the National Guard, under the COM
mand OF General Tito Lopez. All the streets in the
district OF Monte Cavallo--the quarter OF Rome in
which the Qulrinal stands-were flied with private
carriages-some OF them open In spite of the rain
and cabs and vehicles or all kinds and colors.
Everybody seemed In good humor-nrst, because
everybody had an umbrella; and secondly, because
Carnival had begun. No one can or ought TO be
miserable IN Carnival and when the royal carriage
left the station 1t Was greeted with the hear1est
cheers. These ringing cheers became
PERFECT HURRICANE or APPLAUSE
as the royal pair drove up to the palacc-for the
little fellow who IL to wear the OF Italy one of
these days was fast asleep in his nurses arms, and
was not seen or recognized; the cannon firing the
customary salute and spreading the news OF the
days arrival to the remotest corners OF the city.
Here, then, is the .tat acconepH. The royal family
OF Italy have arrived in Rome, and have taken their
place royalty.
