the departure of the emperor to Moscow
an explosion occurred under the washstand
and in the fire place of his dressing room,
but nobody was injured, the Emperor and
| Empress being in the dining room at the
time.
Moscow, May 22.-The weather this
morning for the entry into Moscow of the
| car is splendid. The whole route from
Petrofsky palace to the Kremlin, four and
| half miles, is crowded with people. At
every point the imperial standard is dis
played, the balconies hung with gaily col
ored materials and Russian colors. The
only foreign flags allowed to be displayed
are those over the various embassies.
Along the road which the procession ira
versed are 100 Venetian masts from which
banners are flying. All the domes and
spires of buildings in the city are decked
with flags Thousands Of persons passed
the night out doors so that they might Sc
| cure good places to witness the process
sion. Multitudes of others thronged the
churches praying for the safety of the
emperor.
Cheer upon cheer followed each other
necessarily from the densely packed null
| tltude on the streets and thousands of peo-
pie on the balconies and windows. The en-
press was greeted with every mark of en-
thuslasm and loyalty. Her daughter, the
Grand Duchess Xenia, threw kisses to the
people. The mounted grand dukes formed
very brilliant group. The Asiatic depu-
tatlons were also magnifcently attired,
and the state carriages splendidly deco
grated. In whole, the effect was most gor-
geous. The entire route was lined with
| troops. At the moment they entered the
city salute of seventy one guns was
fired from Tzarkskaia place. The govern
or general received the emperor at the city
boundary and Joined the cortege with his
suite.
The car left Petrofsky palace at noon
and reached the Kremlin at 1:25 O'Clock.
There was slight fall of rain during the
march of the procession, but otherwise the
affair was a complete success. The enthu-
siasm of the people all along the route
was unbounded.
The emperor wore the uniform of a gem
eral and was mounted on splendid charg-
er. He rode little in advance of the four
generals who were directly attending
him. He maintained a calm demeanor,
although he often smiled graciously in
| response to the wild enthusiasm which
greeted him at every point.
The signal for starting the professions
was the firing of artillery and ringing of
| the bells of the cathedral of the Assump-
ton. On the emperor mounting other
saIutes were fired. The order of the pro-
| cession is as follows: Chief officer of po-
lice and twelve gend armes; private escort
