PARIS STILL EN- FETE
MANY DEMONSTRATIONS IN HONOR
OF THE GEAR AND CZARINA.
Their Russian Najesties Cheered
Wherever They Goa Tour
of Sightseeing.

PARIS Oct. finder the guidance of
President Faure the Gear and Czarina set
out early to-day to visit the principal
points of interest in Paris. Wherever they
went they were greeted by demonstrations
of enthusiasm equal to those which char
acterized the conduct of the crowds yes
terdaY. First the imperial visitors were
taken to the Cathedral Of Notre Dame,
from which they We're escorted to the Pan
theon. At the latter place they spent a
few moments beside the tomb of the late
President Carnot. Subsequently they were
shown through the Hotel des Invalides,
where there were assembled a large num-
Der of pensioners of all ranks of the French
army. At the tomb of Napoleon the Great
the Car stood for few moments as if
in contemplation. The Gar shows plainly
that he is suffering from fatigue being
pale and distracted. The Czarna, however
bears up well under the strain of travel
and sight seeing and acknowledges the
plaudits of the thro1gs along the streets
by bushes smiles and bows.
After luncheon at the Russian embassy,
at which many promi aent French and Rus
sian officials and ladies were present their
Majesties drove out to inaugurate the new
bridge to be named the Alexander III
bridge, and at 2:30 p. m. We're met at the
site of the bridge by President Faure, the
usual immense crowds cheering and bright
sunshine prevailing. The imperial standard
of Russia was hoisted, the Russian anthem
was played ana the ceremonies were car
rfed out without a hitch. After the Car
and CZarina had signed the formal docu-
ment prepared for the occasion the Gear
was handed a trowel by President Faure
with which his Majesty spread a small por-
ton of mortar and tapped the cornerstone
with mallet. At the same moment a
boat, in which were a group of maidens
dressed in white, left the right bank OF the
river and crossed the stream to the place
of the ceremony, where they presented the
Czarina with silver vase containing some
the gift, extended her hand to the maidens
each OF whom bowed deeply and kissed it,
Their Majesties and President Faure
then drove to the mint and from there to
the French Institute NJ Iegouve made a
Peter the Great, and nj. Cope read an ode
to the imperial visitors. The latter after
wards signed the minutes of the meeting
and proceeded to visit the Hotel Vevile
The vast throng of people and the ire
sistible rushes in the vicinity of the Rus
sian embassy were SO great tonight that it
was feared that there must be many acct
dents. The frantic enthusiasm in every
part of the city tonight is greater even
than it yesterday. The Examinations
tonight are repeated in all of the public
buildings and the numerous private build
ings on a grand scale. President Faure ar
rived at the Russian embassy at o'clock
as the guest of honor alta dinner of forty
five covers. The, Car presided, Nine
Faure being placed upon his right The
Czarina sat opposite the Gar, with Presi-
dent Faure upon her right.
The Car and Czarina and President and
Nine. Faure. after the dinner, drove to the
Theater Francois, arriving there at 10
o'clock. to attend the gala performance
The illustrious visitors received an ovation
from the crowds along the route and In the
theater.
The London ST James Gazette this after
noon publishes a dispatch from Paris say
ing that the performance at the opera yes
terday evening terminated abruptly I'm the
middle of the ballet owing to the illness of
the Car, which. it is said, was Occasioned
by the bad cooking at the Elysee Palace.
As Viewed by Emily Crawford.
PARIS, Oct. Emily Crawford. in de-
scribing the scenes yesterday, says: THE
Car is below the middle height and thin
and slender but less frail than I expected,
and is really of manly air. He has just
body enough to work a highly developed
system. His brow shows thoughts of care
and contrariety; for the nature of things
bothers sovereigns equally with common
mortals. He is rethodical, painstaking,
conscientious, knows his own mind and
will not let M. Faure drive him. The Car
shows deep feeling in his palor, but the ex-
preston of his face remains unchanged.
The Czarina strongly contracts with him.
She has long, accentuated, but well CHS
seIed acquiline nose, slightly dipping. Firm
character is revealed in the countenance.
Her complexion is good, though the rudely
roseate roses on her cheeks might be pro-
and then toweling it briskly. The eyes are
singuarly blue and her hair is beautiful,
the former shaded by lid and brow and
long dark eyeltsh and they express pass
ing feelings in . smile. There are dirnples
in her face and she has winning hair.
Venetian auburn, ripping and naturally
profuse. The Empress is tall and trim. She
and the Car are as natural as children,
though remarkable for their seif-restraint.
Her way of bowling to the public is copied,
perhaps unconscousiy. from Queen Vic
tora. She seems to share entirely the En-
perors greatness and to feel in all re-
spects his equal. she acknowledging all
public SalutationS as addressed to her as
well as to him. Womens rights under her
will not fall into allegiance Yet she Guilt
Yates the domestic virtues"
