are almost completed. With the ex-
ception of the arrival and departure of
their Russian majesties, there will be

lest any accident should occur.
The Russian embassy here is vi
brating with excitement. Several
members of the Russian secret police

czar's detectives. The latter will ac-
company the cZar to Balmoral and la

yacht, Standard. on entering Leith har-
Dor will pass through lines of warships
belonging to the channel squadron,
which will fire imperial salutes.
