Sunshine is in summer.

as we need sunshine in the summer, he
said The passenger business is holding

The arrival of the czar and czarina
this afternoon may be said to inaugu-
rate the festival season in the cele-
bration of the coronation. and for
which the city and the whole empire
has made months of preparation. Their
majesties arrived in a special train at
the Smolensk station at $3.50 O'Clock
this afternoon. An imperial pavilion
had been erected at the station into
which the imperial party stepped from
their train, and from which they
stepped into the equippages which car

The passage of the party through the
streets was greeted with great en-

Preparations for the grand entry into
the city are not yet completed, but
are far advanced, and on all sides are
evidences of the confusion and hurry OF
the last touches for every great cele-
bration. The character of the prepara-
tlons is most imposing. The palace OF
the Grand Duke Sergius is especially
magnificent.

the czar's progress from the Petrovski
palace to the Kremlin. has concentrated
