,pvrirhted 1896 by the Associated Pres.

MOSCOW, May Zl.-lne CZar anu
Czarina made their triumphal entry into
this city this afternoon amid the thunder
of batteries of artillery, the Changing Of
countless bells and the cheers of Il vast
multitude of loyal Russians and equally
enthusiastic visitors from all parts of the
world
Probably never in the history of ma
tons has there been such an assemblage
of people. Possibly the gorgeous scene
may never be repeated in it's grand en-
tirety.
At 1 o'clock in anticipation Of the
coming of the Gear, the entire route
from Petrovski palace, about three
miles on the road to st. Petersburg to
people that movement except on the out
skirts of the immense crowds was oHt OF
the question.
From Z o'clock in the morning the
route to be followed by the procession
had been guarded by troops, infantry
back, in uniform and in plain clothes
until the road may be said to have been
lined by row after row, thickness after
thickness of flood and iron.
The weather was delightfully."- fine, Il
great relief after the bitterly cold and
damp experiences of the past few days:
The sunshine, however, had not had
time to dry the muddy roads and streets,
but the warmth was great improve
ment and put everybody in good
huinor.
The signal for the commencement of
the days movement was Il salute OF nine
guns from a battery outside the city.
This was followed by the dull booming
of the big bell of the cathedral of the
assumption and the assembling of the
troops at their various mastering points.
Then the countless high dignitaries of
,,,I 1T +1N y n
began to gather at the Petrovski palace
to take their places in the gala equip
ages or to escort on horseback the car
riages of their imperial majesties::
The grand dukes and grand duchesses,
the princes and princesses, the Aslatlc
tives of every government under the
sun. assembled here to do honor to the
Gar of all the Russias, the ruler Of the
mighty empire which half circles the
globe.
Generals with their staffs. aides-de-
camp riding at breakneck speed, order
lies galloping furiously. were to be seen
everywhere The clash OF arms re-
sounded on all sides and most impressive
was the gathering Of the hosts of the
mighty Emperor.
AT 2:3O p. m. there was a further
direction of the Petrovski palace, and
that living mass of men and women gave
a great sigh of relief, for it was the
signal that the Gar had started on his
journey to the Kremlin.
Then there was Il joyous pealing Of
bells fromathe malay belfries of the city,
the dull boom of the monster bell pleas
ingly muftiing the clear, silverlike ring
of the smaller bells, giving forth well
come to the Gar and Czarina, to their
guests and to Russia and the world in
general as represented in and about this
Old city.
The imperial procession was headed by
a squad of mounted gendarmes. led by a
muster of police. After the police came
a portion of the Cars bodyguard and
squadron OF Cossacks of the guard.
