/ ri THE POPULAR FEELING.
The streets were. crowded with neo-
pie as early as 8 a. M, although leaden
sky and idrizzling rain made the wealth
er extremely unpleasant, and there was
no sign of Improvement until after sun
rise, when@tbere came a sort of inter-
mittent sunshine accompanied by heavy
showers. There were at least &c. 600
persons densely packed in the Cathe-,,
draPs square, and they stood the drench-
ing without rnurmur. So strict had
been the police arrangements that even y
inVitedguests were unable TO procure
their official tickets of admission to the >
Kremlia until within a few hours of
the opening of the ceremonies, although
each guest to whom an invitation. had
been sent had received notice, special
joffice had been opened at which cards
of admission would be given on presen-
tation OF the invitation, Every person, ,
however wellsreeommendeda to whom
any suspicion was attached vigorously
excluded and placed in danger of arrest
as well. The Uspensky Cathedral, to
which but one correspondent, t hat of
the governments official paper was ad-
mitted, was so densely crowded that
people tainted from the heat The
Czarina herself came near fainting from
fatigue and the sitting atmosphere, and
appeared at one time almost white.
She was pale throughout the entire
ceremony. The salute fired during the
procession to the Holy Gate, where the
enointing took place, consisted of 1O1
guns, and the singing and ringing of
bells throughout the city continued
throughout the entire ceremonies. The
impressive ceremony of the consecra-
tion and amounting was of the most i'm
posing character, and was preceded by
the visit of the Imperial pair to the
Cathedral of st. Michael During the
passage of the procession many thous-
ands of the populace knelt in prayer,
and many of them wept tears, being
caused both by joy at a probable peace
ful result of the ceremonies and partly
by the hysterical fears that something
unpropitieus might occur. A very
sheavy shower fell during the actual
ceremonies in the Cathedral and dis.
persed the crowd, which had already
had glimpse of the imperial party.
