Judge Sneed Of the Knoxville circuit

PARIs. FRANCE, August 11.-There is
scarcely a doubt that the nOn-arrival in
this city yesterday of the Grand-Duke
Alexis was entirely due to his dlsinclina-
ton TO be the recipient Of the enthusiast
tic welcome that the citizens of Paris had
prepared for him. Great crowds Of people
gathered at the railway station where he
was expected 10 arrive. and much disap-
pointment was manifested when II was
learned that the Grand Duke had changed
his plans and would not arrive at the
time originally set. so sure were the Pari-
slams that the Grand Duke would reach
the city AZ the time appointed that o num-
Der of houses and CATS along the route
from the railway station were beautifully
decorated and illuminated in his honor.
The crowd learned that he would not ar
rive Yesterday, but they did not learn
when he would reach Paris, and cOnse-
quently when the train in which he
travelled rolled into the station at $40
o'clock this morning no one was present,
officially or unofiicially. t. receive him. SO
adverse was the Grand Duke to undergoing
an official reception that even the members
of the Russian Embassy had no Official In
formation as TO the exact time of his ar
rival, and he therefore alighted from the
train exactly a. a private individual would
have done.
But as he reached the platform he was
recognized by crowd comprising at least
thousand persons, who had Just arrived
on incoming trains or who were awaiting
the departure of trains for the various
points to which they were bound, The
greeting they gave the Grand Duke was
enthusiastic. They cheered and yelled,
waved handkerchiefs and hats, and above
the din could be Heard cries of " Vire e
Car" and " Vics Ia 2ussie!" The Grand
Duke, bowing and smiling at the warmness
of his welcome, despite his attempt TO
avoid it. passed along the platform and
leaving the station entered carriage and
was Immediately driven to hotel.
