MOSCOW, May 1.-The car and car
ina made their triumphal entrance into
this city this afternoon, amid the thun-
der or batteries, artillery, changing of
countless bells and the chorus of the
vast multitude Of loyal Russians and
equally enthusiastic visitors from all
| over the world. Probably never in the
| history OF nations has there been such
an assemblage. At o'clock the entire
route from Petrovski palace to the
kremlin, a distance of three miles was
/ packed with people. The route of the
! procession had been guarded by troops
and police on foot and on horseback
The signal for the commencement of
! the days festivities was a salute of
guns from the battery outside of the
city. This was followed by the dull
booming of the big bell of the Cathe-
dral OF the Assumption and the assem-
ping or troops at the various muster
ing points. Then countless high digni-
taries of the empire and foreign coun-
tries began to gather at Petrovski pal
ace to take places in the gala equipag
or escort on horseback the carriages of
their imperial majesties. Grand dukes
and grand duchesses princes and prin-
cesses. Asiatic potentates, innumerabIe
representatives of every country un-
der the sun assembled here to do honor
to the czar of all Russia Generals
with staffs, aide-de-camps riding at
breakneck speed and orderlies gallop-
Ing furiously were seen everywhere.
AT 2:30 O'Clock p. m. there was a fur
ther laundering of cannon, this time
from the direction of Petrovski palace.
1T was the signal that the czar had
started on the journey to Kremlin.
Then there was a joyous pealing of
bells from the many belfries of the
city, the dull boom of the monster bell
pleasingly muff1ing the clear silver-like
ring of the smaller bells, all giving
forth a welcome to the czar and czar-
Ina, to their guests and to Russia and
the world in general as represented in
and about that old city. The imperial
procession was headed by a squad of
mounted gen darn es, led by a master
of police. After the police came a por-
ton of the cars body guard and a
squadron of Cossacks of the guard.
The rest of the procession was as fol-
lows:
On horseback, two by two, came the
delegates from the races subject to
Russia, their strange attractive COS
tunes alone furnishing material for COL
umns of descriptive matter Deputa-
tions from the Cossack population, al
most as attractive in costume as the
delegates who preceded them. Repre-
