Another View of the Case.

Paris, Oct. 2S.-[Copyrighted October
%, 1893, by Associated Press. 1.-The
Russian fetes which have kept all the
main thoroughfares in the city con-
gested, and the people who thronged
them wildly joyful, are being prolonged
from Lyons to Toulon. Before start
ing for Toulon, President Carnot was
visited by the cars brothers, Grand
Duke Sergius, governor of Moscow,
and Paul. The grand dukes were in
by telegraph from the car
to come to Paris and express to the
president, their heartfelt thanks of
the car and czarina at the magnif-
cent and cordial reception given the
Russian squadron and its officers
Grand Duke Sergius, in thanking
President Carnot, said: Russia and
France are now indissolubly united in
the current of sympathy and the
strongest two great nations ever
known
President Carnot responded with
transparent joy and called on the
grand dukes, directly after they re-
turned to their hotels, and then started
for Toulon, taking with him the
with NJ. Humbert, president of the
municipal council, who twenty years
ago was in Toulon Jail as convicted
communist with iron chains rivetted
on his legs, but Humbert, now presi-
dent of the town council Of Paris, is
aware of his own Importance and has
lost no chance to show himself a
courtier of the potentate of Siberia.
Most of Humbert's fellow town coun-
cilors kept pace with him, and poured
out the public money like. water on
civ of tha -
the taxpayers. Handsome gifts were
made to Admiral Avellan and the of
ficers at the ball previous to their
departure from Paris AS the final
effort of the festivity, it is admitted
ladies, moved by patriotic ardor, came
in order to let the Russian officers
dance with and embrace them. The
Russians while being driven through
Paris, had to kiss infants by the score,
while the mothers who handed UP the
wee things began with an embrace,
showing the indissolubility of the
union.
In Toulon, where the people univer-
sally smell of garlic, the kissing and
embracing ordeal was much more try
ing than in Paris. And now the visit
of Admiral Avellan is at an end and
he goes up the Mediterranean on a
cruise. The thoroughfares of Paris
and into which the light of dawn has
come. One only sees weaIied eyes and
pallid or congested faces. Those worst
off are the Russian visitors, they be-
ing surfeited with banqueting and
rounds of pleasure. The indiscretion
of Emperor William helped to swell
the Russian triumph. He says and
does foolish things. Having enter
tanned the Prince of Italy at the Metz
review he made the French back rise
and the blood of Frenchmen boil. The
mob was not to blame for crying
give lie Gar" The French want an
ally against Germany, and want to
wrest Alsace and Lorraine, but their
statesmen play more than dangerous
game. Europe may at any time be
Cossacked through republican France.
Eiffel, who was convicted of swindling
the Panama shareholders out about
$10,000,000, asked to take Admiral
Avellan up in his tower.
