ALFONSO.


says President Grevy is much affected by
the treatment received by King Alfonso i'll
Paris, and it is said he even intimated at
one time that he intended to resign the
presidency. 1t is stated violent feud ex-
isting between Wilson, son-in-law of Pres
ident Grevy and member of the chamber
of deputies, and Prime Minister Ferry,
has caused dissension between the presi-
dent and Ferry in relation to King Al
fonso's visit. Many persons Of ncte have
gone to the frontier to greet King Alfonso
and escort him to the Spanish capital,
where great preparations are being made
by the people to welcome him upon his
arrival.
MADRID, Oct. 2.-Alfonso arrived this
afternoon. An enormous crowd complete
ly blocked the streets between the railway
station and the royal palace. Flags were
displayed in every part of tbs city and
many shops were clssed. The queen went
to the escurial to meet the king, whom the
cabinet ministers, civil and military Off
GERS and many deputies and ministers vel
coined at the station. On arrival of the
train loud cheers were raised, lasting sew
eral minutes. Their majesties proceeded
L
rounded and followed by a great mass of
people, whose plaudits continued along
the whole route, while ladies
in carriages and on balco
MES waved their handkerchiefs. The
enthusiasm Was greatest in the square be-
fore palace, where thousands had assem-
bled, almost stopping the progress OF the
royal carriage. King Alfonso appeared on
the balcony of palace several times and
afterwards held popular rsce ption. To-
night grand serenade was gwen before
palace by all the bands of tbs garrison.
Many houses throughout the city are IL
Illuminated. EI CORES estimates that 3d.
600 persons attended King Alfonso's recep-
tion. The king ordered that no one should
be refused admittance to the palace, and
and the salons could scarcely contain the
immense crowd of aristoerats, officers,
soldiers, students and workmen.
TRURO, Spain, Oct. 2.-The train con-
tanning King Alfonso and suite arrived
here this forenoon. The king was received

ordered an inquiry to be instituted as to
measures taken to secure order on occasion
of King Alfonso's arrival in Paris Satur-
day.
BERLIN, Dot. 2.-The newspapers here
regard the insults bsaped upon Alfonso in
Paris as moral defeat of France. No
power, they say, would wish for sn alli-
ance with Ter. The insults to the Spanish
king were in their opinion more directly
aimed against Germany, who considers
them sign of weakness.
PARIS, Oct. 2.-King Alfonso, in decli1-
ing the invitation of President Grevy to
prclong his stay in Paris, remarked that
Grevy's apology for his treatment by the
people might make him forget the bitter
ness of his entry, but Spain wsuld long re-
member the hisses Of the popu!ace who
would not see that behind the king it was
the nation they were kissing. As the train
bearing Alfonso to the froutier left the
station in Paris his majesty requested
Gen. Pittie, secretary of President Grevy,
to inform the president he left him with a
deep sense of his courtesy.
