Ieith. Scotland. Sept 22.-Ihe Russian
yacht STANDARD and the Pole Star We're
sighted al the entrance OF the Fflth ol
Forth at 1920 this morning. The prince
OF Wales, who was IN charge of the ar
rangenents for the reception Of the ear
ana czarna and will accompany the Rus
| sian visitors to Balmoral; the duke ol
Ccnnaught NJ. DeStael, the Russian am
haSsador, Lord Rosebery and high mil
tary officials, arrived at the jetty from
Dameny at II o'clock and were received
i,N an escort of Enniskillen dragons
Rain was falling heavily, out in spite ol
this an enormous crowd lined the way 70
| tic docks and greeted the arrival OF the
royal party with the greatest enthusiasm
/ After inspecting the reception room. the
royal party joined the duchess of Buc-
| clcugh and countess of Lytton, embarkins
| on the steamer Tantalon Castle. The
steamer proceeded down the firth to meet
| the czar and czarna. The channel fleet,
which lined the Firth Of Forth saluted
as the prince of Wales and the royal par
ty traversed the lines. The Russian nm
| pei jsl yachts, on their arrival, We're st,
| uied by the fleet, and immediately drop
| ped anchor.
The Tantalon Castle soon afterwards
! rah alongside the Standard, which had
| theil Russian majestics on board. The
| prince Of Wales. the duke of ConnauSht
arc NJ. DeStael went aboard and wei
| coined the car and czarina to Leith. The
| greetings exchanged between the imperial
| travellers ard British princes was most at
| fet tionate. The party lunched together
on board Of the Standard. The harbor
| was full of merchant vessels from al
| parts Of the world, decked from stem to
stern with bunting and placed in the new
| est possible trim. so that after passing
| through the lines of powerful warsnips
| the progress of the Standard up the Firth
| Of Forth was parade-like in the extreme.
The precautions taken atloat and
ashore for the protection of their majes-
! ties We're unprecedented It Is believed, in
| Val annals Picket boats, steam aunch-
| e& and torpedo boats Of the smaller class,
| TIT WarShips Ma ajestc, Magnificent, Re
| pulse and Resolution, formed d complete
net around the Russian imperial yacht,
IA order, ostensibly, to prevent shore
| boats from croWding about the Standard,
| but in reality TO prevent any possibility
| OF an attempt to commit dynamite or
otEcr outrages on the Tantalon Castle.
| tlE the train to take their majesties to
| BaEmoral. at different places along the
route to Balmoral. and about Balmoral
| itself, We're picked members of the Rus
| sian secret police and the cars nihilist
| detectives. The Russian detectives &C
| cOmpanEing the czar were reinforced on
| landing by a picked squad of the best
| s. otland Yard detectives, who remain
| attached to the party until they leave
| Great Britain.
| After the Tantalon Castle had passed
| through the line of cutters the oars We're
| at another signal dropped Simultaneously,
| ana then the men-of-war cutters formed
| up in column astern CT the steamship
and followed her to the jetty. The car
| and czarina landed at the jetty at l:O4
! u n. Az taey stepped ashore the troops
| presented arms and the bands played q
Russian anthem. The czar and czarina
| were escorted ashore by the prince Of
| Wales and the duke of Connaught, and
| We're met by a large number of field Off
| GERS i'll field uniform. The guard Of
| honor was composed of picked bluejacll-
| cts from the fleets. while the cars escort
| consisted of detachment of the Royal
| Scots Greys, Second dragons, of which
| the czar is colonel in chief
a detachment of 400 policemen and a
| regiment Of Highlanders lined the streets
| leading from the jetty to the railroad
| station. 400 yards distant The reception
| room of the great station was made bril-
| liant with flags and flowers, the Russian
| ensign being cntwined with that Of Great
/ Britain. The state carriages from Buck
1 ingnam palace We're in waiting to convey

The ear wore the uniform of the Scots
tirEyS. He and the cZarfna We're uShered
into the reception room, where the mem
| hcrs Of the municipal councils of Leith
| and Edinburgh welcomed the visitors to
| Scotland.
The czar was cold in his demeanor, but
the czarina won the hearts Of everyone
by her genality. The imperial party and
the members Of the royal family shortly
afterwards left the room and entered the
state carriages, which in spite of the
rain, We're left open out of consideration
| for the pleasure which the multitude OF
spectators experienced in seeing the dis
| tinguished Russian Travellers Escorted
| by the Scots Greys. they traversed the
gailN decorated and troop-lined quays and
streets for over mile. Instead of enter
ing the queens special" at the railroad
station. according to program, the i'm
| puriaI party was escorted on board III
| train At the junction of the bridge anG
station. This was probably another pre-
caution taken for the safety Of the czal
| ana czarina. There was Il great military
display ana much cheering as the impera
train drew away.
The extraordinary arrangements to pre-
vent injury to the royal guests created {
bad impression. While everybody was ii
holiday attire, and the streets We're pro
fuseiy decorated, soldiers, detectives ins
police, with special Russian detectives
! we're at every turn. Every foot Of III,
