Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-10-28

For this reason IL is feared that the yea
OF certain French republicans during the
time Of these Franco-Russian fetes may
outrun their discretion, and semi-officia
warnings have been given to the people tc
be circumspect In their rejoicings and par.
ticularly to give out no cries insulting tc
other nations along with "vive La Russier
"Vive la FranceY' Down with the Mac.
caronisp' was already begun to be heard
last week.
At Toulon some of the more enthusiastic
have proposed to rechristen the great
Square of TOulon, which still bears its an.
Gent name Of Notre Dame and call II
Cronstadt- This would be killing two birds
with one stone. for 1t would be giving a
side kick to the clericals But the news
papers hurriedly remarked that the Rus.
slams are fanatical devotees of the Virgin,
and would not appreciate the compliment
Then it was proposed to compromise and
call the place Notre Dame de Cronstadt
But such measures of remaining like the
proposed change of the Boulevard des Ital-
lens to Boulevard de Cronstadt have al
ready died their natural DEATH
A comic note in the general excitement
has been furnished by the action of small
provincial towns all over France They
have been sending up delegations to offer
their fealty at the Russian embassy, where
there has been only an attache to receive
them in the vacation season. They were
also beginning to plan the most wonderful
popular demonstrations; but the ministry
saw the necessity of moderating their en-
thusiasm. The order at last went forth
that neither mayors nor projects should de-
eide on any action to be taken in the matter
OF demonstrations until 1t should be ap-
proved by higher authority.
