Scenes of Enthusiasm Attending the Reception of the Russian Fleet al TOulon-EveTybOdY Cheers for the CZar and Russfa-The Sailors Tax en on the Sho ulders of Frenchmen, and Women Embrace and Kiss Them. ToULoN, Oct. 15-Few persons slept last night. The streets were almost as crowded at 3 o'clock this morning as yes and private houses did not cease until day break, and the thousands sang and coursed. When the of6cers' ball at the ar- senal closed, shortly after o'clock, the dancers came out upon @ scene of delirioua enthusiasm. Bands playing the Russian anthem and the Marseillaise were psradipg the streets, the throng alternately singing and cheering, and shouts for Russia, the Russian officers and the czar rang from every side. At o'clock the crush was worse than at any time before since the celebration began. Every body was shout ing Long live Russis!' "Long live the cKrl"
 Mayor Ferraro gave his luncheon in the name of the municipality at Il o'clock. The playground had been coversd with a great tent, spread between donbfe rows of plane tree B. and under this the tables were laid. The Russian oficers showed their appreciation of the fine wines by drinking themselves into 8 state of flushed excite ment. When the luncheon was over the mayor made @ rather bombastie speech as to the allegiance of sister nations which, he said, ought to be regarded abroad ss g pledge of peace and not as threat of war. He presented gold champagne cup to Admiral Avelan and a silver champagne cup to every other Russian officer. The presentation speeches were effusive, but evoked no corresponding response from the Russians. Admiral Avelan expressed his thanks briefly and the other Russian officers followed his example. None of them made any allusion to politics.
 As day advanced all the main thorough fares were thronged from wall to wall. Admiral Avelsn and his officers were con veyed in open carriages to the Plscs de Ia Liberte where the battle of flowers was to take placs. The crowds were so dense that the horses could proceed only at a slow walk and often must be stopped. The Russians were half smothered with flowers, confections, paper spirals, etc., etc. They returned the fire with spirit and smiled and waved their caps to the people packed up to the carriage wheels. At the Place de Ia Libsrte the procession of floats and flower decked carriages was longer and
 finer than anything attempted at the Nice carnival. The psvements were strewn with tons of confetti.
 The enthusiasm exceeded boundaries when the Russian sailors landed. The French sailors and civilians formed in pro- sessions, hoisted the men on their should CTS and carried them through the streets. Women embraced and kissed them. Wherever tue, Russian sailors appeared deafenipg shouts for Russia and the czar filled the air. Until evening the demon stration was remarkable for the absence of drunken men. After dark, however, wine was given out in enormous quantities. Staggering sailors were to be seen every where. and the popular manifestations of enthusiasm degenerated into maudlin em- braces and drunken bowling.
 A dinner was given at the prefecture this evening to the Russian officers and the high French officials, who have . 1me from other cities. Later there was 8 gala performance at the Grand theater, which the Russians attended at the invitation of the municipality. m The chief feature of the performance was Franco Russian ballet.
 PARIS, Oct. 15-Immediately after the Russian squadron reached Toulon on Fri day President Carnot telegrsphed to the czar in Copenhagen and the czar replied. Several dispatches were exchanged also in French warships Isly aod Snrcouf Dis patches from St. Petersburg to-day say that the Russian press makes much of the czar's visit to the warships. Several jour nals declare that this visit and the tossts of Admirslu Avelan and Rievner complete the proof of the consolidation of the Franco Russian relations.
