Of the arrangements for the car and

Russian visitors to Balmoral.
The Prince of Wales, the Duke Of
Connaught, M De Staal, the Russian
ambassador TO the court of st. James;
Lord Roseberry. and number of the
high military officials arrived at the
iety from Dalmeny, at l O'Clock and

the sky and general surroundings were
most forbidding. but, in spite of this,
enormous crowds lined to the decks
and crested the arrival of the royal par

AFFECTIONATE.
After inspecting the reception room,
the royal party joined the countess Of
Lytton, and embarked on board the
steamer Tantalion Castle. The steamer
then proceeded down to the Firth in
order 10 meet the czar and cZarina.
The channel fleet, which lined the Firth
Of Forth, saluted as the prince of Wales
and the royal party traverSed the lines.
The Russian imperial yachts on their
arrival were saluted by the feet and
Immediately dropped anchor. The Tan
lmediateIy dropped anchor. The Tan
talon Castle soon afterwards ran along
side the Standard, the latter having
the Russian majestfes on board.
The prince of Wales, the duke of Con-
naught and De Staal went on board
and welcomed the visitors to Leith. The
greetings exchanged by the imperials
travellers and the prince Were most af-
fectionate, the party afterwards lunch
ing together on board the Standard.
NO DYNANITER NEED APPLY.
Though the weather was far from be-
Ing all that could fbe wished for, there |
was no mistaking the fact that the peo-
pie of Leith and its vicinity mad turned |
put in great numbers, determined to |
give the imperial travellers a hearty |
welcome to the shores of Scotland. The |
whole harbor was full of merchant YES |
sels from all parts of the world, and |
they We're decked from Prov to stern |
with bunting and plaoed in the neatest |
possible trim, so that after passing |
through the line of powerful warships |
The pDogIeS of the Standard up the |
Firth of Froth was parade-hke in the
extreme
TIE precautions taken afterwards for
the protection OF their majesties were
unprecedented, DIT is believed, in naval
annals. Picket boats, steam launches,
end torpedo boats of similar class from
the warships Majestic, Magnificent, Re
pulse, and Revolution, each detachment |
commanded by a lieutenant, formed a
complete net around the Russian i'm
perial yacht, in order ostensibly, to
prevent the shore boats from crowdfng
about the Standard, but in reality to
prevent any possibility of an attempt
to commit dynamite or other outrage.
The shore boats were in such vast mum
bers ON the water that there is no doubt
that the precautions taken by the
British authorities were warranted.
