The Russian Commander Testi-
fies to the Greatness and Mag
nificent Hospitality of the
French.
ToULoN, Oct. 15.-If the Russian
.ailors now visiting France are not
already beginning to feel the effects of
the series of entertainments provided
for them it is not because French hos
pltality and good feeling has been
lacking. For instance, the ball at the
arsenal, which took place last night,
was continued till 6 O'Clock, and at its
conclusion the French officers hoisted
number of the Russian officers
on their shoulders and cheered
themselves hoarse as they escorted
them to their ships. This compliment
the Russians appreciated by lifting a
number of the Frenchmen upon their
shoulders, cheering until they could
cheer no longer, and insisting that they
should come down to the boats with
them preparatory to returning on board
the Russian squadron.
The municipality of Toulon enter
tanned the Russian officers today at
luncheon in the court of the Lycee.
Eight hundred guests were present.
The mayor of ToulOn, NJ. Prosper
Ferrero. toasted the czar and czarina
amid loud cries of 1--WE la Russe."
The mayor, after the toast, added that
the cries Of "Vive Ia Russie," which
could be heard on all sides ever since
the Russian squadron had arrived in
French water, proved the indissoluble
attachment which France felt towards
Russia.
Continuing. Mayor Ferrero said:
Tine union of the two people will
prove to the entire world our ardent de p
Sire that this should be the Inaugural
ton of an era OF
EUROPEAN PEACE
1--WE find III our strength the gua:an-
tee OF peace which is necessary TO lib
ertv. An irresistible current has been
established between the two races,
whose association is the nobleSt spec
1ace which can be seem"
Admiral Avellan, the Russian COM
mander. then toasted President Carnot
and the French nation, after which he
added:
The care which has been taken to
enhance the splendor of this reception
testities TO the greatness and magnifi-
cent hospitality of the French, as well
as to the reciprocal sympathies of the
two nations"
The admiral concluded his remarks
by proposing the health of the mayor of
TouIon, the prosperity of Toulon and
the prosperity OF the whole of France.
NJ. Clemenceau, in an article in La
Justice, of Paris, today, says that it is
evident that France is no longer
isolated, and that the entente between
Russia and France inSures the tenn
pOiary maintenance Of peace, pending
a definite peace.
Continuing, NJ. Clemenceau says that
it is stated that ii Germany gave Russia
a free hand in the East. France would
be abandOned; but, according to NJ.
Clemenceau, there are TOO many OBJ
StacleS to this eventually. 1t was also
said, the distinguished Frenchman adds.
that in the event of war in the East
popular enthusiasm would impel France
into it; but,
THE FRENCH PEOPLE
were not mad and would not plunge
into war thOughtlessly. France, the
writer claims, has no interest in Asia
like that of Russia. In conclusion, NJ.
Clemenceau says:
We are friends because the demOc-
racy desires peace and abhOrs WAL"

The Russian and French sailors were
to he seen on all sides, arm in arm, and
even wearing each others hats as a
token OF the extreme sympathy existing
between them. Presents of cigars,
tobacco and flowers continue to
pour iii upon the Russian visitors, so
much so that 1t has been quietly given
out that there should be a turn in the
tide OF gift-sending. 1t was announced
today that on the arrival OF the Russians
