INTENSE ENTHUSIASM.
large fleet of pleasure steamers
had by that time assembled in the
roads and the most intense enthusiasm
was manifested when the Grand Duke
Alexis and President Faure left the
Pothuau and proceeded to the Alexan-
dria. The czar awaited the president
at the top of the Alexandria gang
way and the moment M. Faure set
foot on the deck of the imperial yacht,
warm embraces were exchanged be-
tween the czar and the president,
which were the signal for storm of
cheering, waving of handkerchiefs
and other marks of popular enthusias-
tic delight. The sailors manned ship
at the same time and gave the regula-
ton cheers for the czar and his guest
President Faure was dressed in a
frock coat and wore the insignia of the
grand collar of the order of st. An
to him by the czar in June, 1895. Out
of compliment to his guest, the czar
also wore the same order With
Count Muravieff, the Russian minister
for foreign affairs, standing near
them, the czar and the president form
ed a striking group on the aft deck
of the Alexandria. When the impe-
rial yacht was safely moored along
side the jetty, the French president
was the first to land, and the band of
the imperial guard struck up the
"Marseillaise.' The czar followed M.
Fe.ure ashore and Immediately pre-
sented his guest to the Grand Dukes
Vladimir, Cyril, Boris, Andrew, Paul,
Constantine. Nicolas, Peter, Michael,
George and Sergius.
The route to the palace was lined
with troops and behind the soldiers
were massed enthusiastic crowds of
people who were frantic in their accla-
nations. Upon arriving at the Peter
dent Faure to the various court Off
cials and then entering the Victoria,
his majesty drove along to the Alex
andria palace, the residence of the
czarina- A few minutes later Presi-
dent Faure emerged from the Peter
hof palace and drove to the Alexan-
dria palace in order to offer his hom-
age to the czarina. A private lun-
cheon at the Alexandria palace fol-
lowed. During the afternoon the
French president visited the Russian
grand dukes.

RUSSIA BOYaLLY
WELCOMES FaUBE.

The streets of Peterhof were crowd
ed from early morning and gay with
court equipageS, which were constantly
dashing through them with richly at
tired personages who were on their
way to the landing stage, which was
gorgeously decorated for the occasion.
Contrary to Russian custom, the peo-
pie were allowed to enter the park and
to line the route followed by Presi-
dent Faure and the other high per-
sonages. The scene was rendered more
animated by the fact that among the
crowds were countless men and women
wearing tricolor cockades and thou
sands of children waving little French
and Russian flags.
At 9 o'clock in the morning a sema-
phore message announced that the
French squadron was thirteen miles
distant, and Cossack was Immediate
ly dispatched at gallop to convey the
news to the czar at the Peterhof pal
ace. Another and similar dispatch
soon followed from Cronstadt, and then
the czar emerged from the palace, en-
tered a carriage drawn by two gray
horses and drove to the landing stage.
His majesty wore the uniform Of a cap
tain in the Russian navy, with the
ribbon of the Legion of Honoraon his
breast.
Grouped at the landing stage were
the high court dignitafies and the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs, Count
Muravieff; the French ambassador to
Russia, Count Lannos de Montebelle;
Gen. Boisdoffere, chief of the French
general staff, who is to replace the
Count de Montebelle at st. Petersburg,
and Baron Won Morenheim, the Russian
ambassador to France. The ezar con-
versed in French with various person
ages for few minutes, and then the
imperial party embarked on board the
Alexandria. The Grand Duke Alexis,
the high admiral Of Russia and uncle
of the czar, on board the Hisstrola,
proceeded ahead. The Grand Duke
Alexis went alongside the Pothuau, on
board which was the French president,
and welcomed the latter to Russia in
the name of the czars
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2S.-From

day in September wheat; u cent in
September corn and 5s cents in Sep
tember oats. Sales of September wheat
were made on the curb this morning at
the highest figures yet reached, S1.021a.
The regular session opened with a wild
rush to sell, with trades made on a
range of 3 cents, September going at
from 81 cents to 81. Every one in the
pit seemed to have but one end in
view-and that was to let go.
It looked at the opening of the days
business in wheat, and for fifteen min
utes after, as if Bedlarn had been per-
manently established on the board of
trade, but the fsanzy abated somewhat
at the end of that time. The Liver
pool market again set the pace for
the first dash by opening excited at
from 4d to 412d per Genital higher than
it closed Saturday-that is equal to
from 5 cents to 51a cents per bushel.
That caused the traders on the open
ing curb to pay S1.021a per bushel for
September wheat Before trading COM
menced on the regular board, however,
the curb price had dropped to 81. When
the opening bell sounded for the of
fetal commencement of the days pro-
ceedings, there were hundreds Offering
to- sell September at from 81 down to
81 cents, while December was offered at
the same time from 81 to 971s cents
Before five minutes of the session was
over, both September and December
were down to 95 cents. In another five
minutes they had recovered again to
971s cents, then to SO cents, to 81 cents,
to 961a cents, to 9S cents once more,
and very soon to 991a cents.
During that time the prices of the
two deliveries were alternately in the
lead, but after half an hour of such
irregularity, September settled into
lead of about " a cent. The breal,
of from 81 to about 95 cents was
stopped at that, and the price rose In
an equally sudden and agitated way
when cables showed that Liverpool
had still further added to the first ad-
vance. The rise in price had at 1880
p. m., Liverpool time, reached SID, or
6A cents per bushel over Saturdays
latest. When the agitation here had
somewhat Quieted down, the f1uctua-
tion narrowed considerably, and kept
for time within " cent of 9S cents.
NEWS IGNORED.
The ordinary market news outside of
the Liverpool fluctuations received but
scant attention. Chicago receipts were
3S3 cars, and the quantity inspected
out of store was 100000 bushels. Mime
apolis and Duluth received 315 cars,
against 345 a week ago, and 554 the cor
responding day of the year before. The
worlds shipments aggregated 1922, 900
bushels last week, compared with
1901, 900 bushels the week previous, and
5,512, 900 the corresponding week of 1896.
The quantity on ocean passage in
creased 100000 bushels. The visible
supply showed decrease of 497,0OO

ana will be very well represented in

assigned quarters.
The parade takes place Wednesday
Aug. 25 as stated, but the parade of
eX-Union prisoners of war will take
place Tuesday morning. The civic So
cieties' parade to be held during the en-
campment will assuredly be a notable
feature and there is any amount of
rivalry among the civic societies of
Buffalo as to which will present the
best appearance both in point of num-
bers and in method of marching. There
have been no. exceptions in the general
invitation issued, and the result will
be an exceedingly odd collection of gor
geously uniformed men, and men with
no uniforms at all.
LADIES OUT IN FORCE.
The ladies are to be well represented
for what national encampment of the
Grand Army would be complete with
out the Ladies Relief Corps. Besides
these there are the Ladies of the G. A
r., which, if not exactly a sister or
ganization of the first mentioned. can
at least boast OF couSinly connec-
ton. Both have frankly agreed to dis
agree and that pleasantly, so there is
no possible opportunity for i'll feeling.
Mrs Agnes Hit and {her staff, of the
Woman's Relief Corps, and Mrs. Hirst.
president of the Ladies' G. A. R., and
her staff, have all secured excellent
quarters. The latter will hold their
meetings in the Y. NJ c. A. building.

Besides the organizations of the
ladies named, there will be present the
