They Are Received With the Widest
Enthusiasm.
WOMEN As EAGER As TIE MEN
To Welcome the distinguished Guests
All Paris Singing Russian Songs and
Shouting Long Life to the Csar -
Honors and 0aicties on Every Hand.

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-After what may be
termed triumphal journey from Toulon,
Admiral Avelan, commander of the Rus
sian squadron, and the fifty officers OF the
feet accompanying him, arrived here at
9:17 o'clock this morning, and were re-
ceived with wild enthusiasm.
When the train was seen approaching g
the station the crowds began to sing the
Russian anthem. Only . few OF those
present could sing tho words, but nearly
all knew the air, and the volume OF sound
was tremendous, though musical. The
Mazas prison was hidden from view by an
immense platform that extended It's whole
length, aud which was packed with peo-
pie. As the Russian officers appeared the
crowd ceased singing and shouts OF Long
Live Russia" 'Long Live the Gar" were
heard on every side.
The women present were as eager as the
men to welcome the distinguished guests,
and their shrill voices could be distinctly
heard above the roar of the welcoming
cries. 1t may truthfully be said that de-
spite the assertion that the Parisians would
keep calm during the visit of the Russians,
a mora wildly enthusiastic greeting has
never In recent years been extended to the
representatives of any nation. 1t In an
ovation Of which an man might we'll be
proud.
Amid tho cheering crowd that surged
about the entrance to the station, the
Russians, respIendent In full uniforms,
passed bowling right and left, their faces
wreathed in smiles rs they beheld the en-
thusiasm of the populace. Carriages were
taken at the station and the party were
driven to Rue de Lyon and to the Place de
la Bastile. Here they passed under mag
nificent triumphal arch that spanned the
place some distance in front Of the Column
of July.
Before the guests had proceeded very far
on their drive their open carriages were al
most filled with the many bouquets that
were thrown and handed to them.
A large squadron Of cavalry accom-
panied the Russians.
The programme included breakfast at
the Military club. At A o'clock in the
afternoon Admiral Avelan and his party
were received at the palace Of the Elysee
by President Carnot. This evening state
dinner and ball were given at the palace.

made perfectly clean, dip some layers OF
cotton into clean, carbolized water and
press out the excess Of liquid. Then ap-
ply over the wound and wrap up with

the Storm on the Lakes.
BUFFALO, Oct. 18.--Thirteen more vic.
Tins have been added to the already long
list of fatalities resulting from the terrific
northwest gale that swept the great lakes
Saturday and Sunday last. 1t is now def
nitely known that tho steamer Wocoken
from Cleveland foundered In ten fathoms
of water just above Long Point on the
northen coast Of Lake Erie carrying down
with her all but three OF her crew Of l6
souls.
The last few weeks of the navigation
season of 1898 will live long In the mem
ory OF the lake mariners, for no such awful
list of fatalities has been known in ship
ping circles for q decade as the one to
which additions are being made daily, as
reports come in giving details Of the terri
fic gale that swept the inland seas steadily
for more than AS hours ut the close of last
week.
The story Of the fate of the Dean Rich
mond In Lake Erie and the Minnehaha Ia
Lake Michigan il supplemented by the
news OF the loss of one or two lives from a
number of vessels composing the lake feet
and now comes the loss OF the Wocoken
with its cargo Of human souls. 1t is
two early to attempt to estimate
the money loss by the sinking of small
craft at various points in the chain OF the
great lakes from Duluth to the mouth of
the ST. Lawrence. All incoming vessels
are minus part of their rigging, are badly
stove In or otherwise show marks of their
terrible experience with ths wind and
heavy seas.
