THE RUSSIANS AT PARIS.
French Enthusiasm Unbounded Over the
Fete

PARIS, September I6. - The en-
thusiasm in Paris promises to be i'm
mense when the Russian feet arrives
at Toulon and unbounded when the
officers and sailors reach PARIS. The
only fear is that the French people
may forget prudence and do things
which they might afterward regret.
French enthusiasm is unbounded,
and the opportunity will be seized for
a great national Russophile manifesto
ton, All the large towns are arranged
to participate in the demonstration,
and all sorts of proposals have been
made to give eclat to the event. The
Paris Municipal Council has decided
to place memorial tablet on the build
ing occupying the site of the pavilion
on Les Diguieres, where Peter the
Great lived in I7I7.
The reception of the Russian Off
GERS and sailors in Paris will be on a
magnificent scale. 1t is proposed to
flag the whole railway line from Toulon
to Paris, SIS miles.
kilograms from 81. petersburg indi-
cate that the Russian Government is
not exactly enamored of the aggressive
character of the proposed demonstra-
tions, which are palpably directed
against Germany. Russia, however,
intends to profit by French enthusiasm
by placing loan on the Frinch mar.
kets, the loan to be issued the day be-
fore the Russian visit.
An official note from Russia advises
that the fetes shall be of a character
strictly pacific, so as not to give un-
necessary otfense to the other powers.
They are not to be provocative, but
simply to show in straightforward
manner to Europe the reality of the
alliance between Russia and France.

$500 being not too large an estimate
for three months stay. The fare to
the Islands and back is not great, the
round trip being made for $f75. The
prices charged there, however, are ex-

heard for mile and a quarter around.
When the wind blows from the south,
east, southeast or southwest only will
the sounds of the whistle be heard.

are never bald except by disease, and
they do not wear close headgear. Men
never lose hair below where the hat
