LONDON, Sept. 21.-The preparations
for the reception of the Gar and Czarina,
who are expected to reach Leth harbor
at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow. are almost
completed. With the exception OF the
arrival and departure OF their Russian
majesties there will be no state cere-
monies.
The recently discovered dynamite con-
spiracy has oubtedly served to cause
the authorities to double the precautions
taken to ensure the safety Of the imperial
travellers and the greatest anxiety Is ex-
pressed lest any accident should occur.
with excitement, several mem bers OF the
Russian secret police have been in Eng
land for a week past and they will be

the channel squadron, which will fire I'm
perial sslutes. The Gar and Czarina will
be received at the jetty by the Prince OF
Wales, the Duke of Connaught, a number
of held officers and the guard OF honor

escort will consist of a detachment of
the Second Dragons (Roysl Scots Greys)
of which the Gar is colonel-in-chief,
and 800 policemen and a regiment OF
Highlanders will line the street leading
from the jetty to the railroad station,
which is only 400 yards distant. The
Czar and Czarips will ride to the station
in a state carriage sent from Bucking-
ham Palace for their use, and the train

raj in the Queens special. Upon arriv-
ing at Ba allater the Gar and Czarina will

the royal carriages 10 traverse the illu-
minated route without showing any
symptoms of alarm. The entire route
will be guarded by soldiers and police
and will be barricad ed throughout.
The visit of the Gar and Czaripa to
