Paris, Oct. IA cold drizzling rain fell
throughout the forenoon, but despite the
discomfort of being out of doors, thou
sands of people assembled in the vicinity
Of the Russian embassy, hoping to catch
a glimpse of the imperial visitors.
President Faure, with Nine. Faure and
Mile. Faure. drove to the Russian en-
bassy at o'clock this morning for the
purpose of accompanying the car and
czarina in their sightseeing tour Of the
city. The car expressed the thanks Of
himself and the czarina for the courtesy
shown to them by the president and his
family, and invited NJ. Faure to occupy
a seat in his landau.
The party started on their trip half an
hour behind the time fixed by the pro-
gramme. The czarina wore a gray dress
and looked bright and fresh, but the car
looked pale and wore a serious express
SION The party were driven to the Ca
thedral of Notre Dame, where they were
received by Cardinal Richard, archbish-
op of Paris who was clad in his arch
episcopol robes. Assisting the cardinal
in the reception of the visitors were the
vicar general of the archdiocese and the
members Of the Maroponitan chapter.
The streets which the party passed were
lined with people, and the great square
fronting the cathedral was densely pack
ed. The enthusiasm of the people along
the route and in the square was mani
tested by almost continuous cheering.
The car and czarina, after leaving the
cathedral, visited the Palais De Justice,
the Pantheon and the Hotel Des Inva-
lides, returning to the Russian embassy
for luncheon. In the afternoon, the car
laid the first stone for the new bridge
across the Seine. to be known as the
Alexander III bridge, in honor of the late
car of Russia, the father of Nicholas H.
The weather was showery. The car
while at the Pantheon, paid a visit to
the tomb of the late President Carnot,
upon which his majesty placed a magnif-
cent wreath of white flowers. Madame
Carnot and her sons were present.
The Paris newspapers devote columns of
space to articles on the reception of the
car and czarina and are unanimous in
declaring that Oct will leave indelible
memories upon the hearts of Frenchmen
and Russians. The homage of the people
to the car, the papers say, was warm.
yet full of dignity and self-confidence.
All of the papers express satisfaction with
the speeches made by the czar at Cher
bourg and at the Elysee palace.
The Figaro says: 1.-The cars sponta-
neous visits to the presidents of the SEN
ate and the Chamber of Deputies indi-
Gates his majestys formal acceptance of
the forms and consequences of republican
regime" The paper adds: Conclusive
words and definite acts have already been
exchanged and probably they will be COM
pleted at Chalons, 'but they are already
enough to convince Europe of our union"
London, Oct. 1.-THE st. James Ga
zette publishes a special from its corre-
spondent in Paris, saying that the gala
opera performance, given in honor of the
car and czarina last evening, came to an
abrupt termination in the middle Of the
ballet, owing to the sudden indispostion
of the car, which is said to have been
due to bad cooking. His majesty COM
planned of feeling i'll after the banquet
at the Elysee Palace and was obliged to
lie down for an hour before going to the
opera. Those who occupied seats near
the car and czarina at the opera, OBJ
served that both of them looked very
much fatigued and worn out.
