Special Gable Despatch TO TIE Sun.
PARIS, Aug. Sion June 90 London cele-
brated tho fete for which she had been preparing
for months. To-day Paris gave won't to a spon-
%tancous. impromptu outburst Of Joy. 1t 10 i'm.
possible not to compare the two occasions wit
neased In such close succession. 1t is equally
impossible to find points Of resemblance.
London's colossal, businessliko demonstration
Of deep smouldering emotion had little likeness
to Paris's gay spirit and passionate abandon.
London's decoration, lavish and frequently
tasteless, was slowly but solidly erected. Paris
commenced her toilette on Saturday and finished
It at noon to-day, producing AZ beautiful, and
graceful an effect as docs tho cunning touch Of
def woman fingers.
From the Care du Nord By way Of Ruo Lafay.
ette, the Place de IopGra. the Place do la Con-
cordc, and the Avenue des Champs Elysees, to
the Palace Of the Elysee, the buildings wero
dccked with countless Russian and French
nags. Hero and there could DO seen the stars
and Stripes, but there were absolutely no flags
OF other nations displayed.
Street hawkers were busily engaged in selling
French and Russian ~rosettes, medals, and por-
traits Of the Gar and President Faurc. Tho
streets wero really normal until 9 p. Nj. save
for the crowds IN the vicinity of the French
Theatre waiting for tho FREQ matinee given in
honor OF the occasion. In the evening there was

by $3.50 o'clock tho open spaces about tho
churches OF the Madeleine and st. Vincent dc
Paul were packed. and there were great crowds
everywhere along tho route to be followed by
the President. Even the trees were loaded down
With gam!ns, who from their elevated perChes
had by far the best view Of tho procession. Tho
crowd was o good humored one. On each street
corner there was q band playing patriotic airs
and the Russian national hymn.
There was o striking difference between tbs
London crowd. which waited for tho Queens
procession mostly IN silence. and tho crowd
which to-day 10 welcome the Prest.
dent Of tho republic. Here the air was nlicd
with cheerful sounds and ontourz:s Of merry
laughter. The police. who did not have much
time for Organization, we're assisted by gen.
dnrmes and mounted guards. whose work with
The orderly throns was eGsy.
II was not until tho time approached for the
appearance OF the procession that one realized
the inner feeling OF the ParisiAns. Then tho
very chargers seemed Affected by the emotion Of
their riders, while tie eager crowd in places
pressed upon the heels OF tho horses, making {,
seem almost impossible 10 avert accidents.
With the Ell option OF n few cases OF ~iaintinE.
however. everything went well.

Then Paris gave herself over TO liRhthearted
gayety. Open air dances were hastily organized
In tho outskirts. Tho central part Of the city
was thronged with a crowd which ebbed and
flowed. laughing. singing. and dancing, and ad-
mirlng the Nominations. A countless number
Of portraits of the Gear were sold.
1t 10 regrettable that. even as In departing, 90
in returning, the harmony of NJ. Fauro's his.
togic journey should have been disturbed by a
Earring note. A bomb was exploded at tho
corner of Rue Castellane and Rue Tranchet.
behind tho Church Of tho Madeleine.
The first reports said that tho scene OF the OK.
plosion was $50 yards from tho route OF tho pro-
cession and that neither NJ. Faure nor any Of
those accompanying him heard 1t; also that it
was impossible for the bomb to have injured the
President, and 1t was believed that the explosion
was . vain Anarchist demonstration, or, more
likely, the work = Of a practical joker.
But tho bomb incident was more serious than
the arst reports declared. 1t has been learned
that tho bomb contained q high explosive and
nails. 1t was fastened to tho railing behind tho
Church of the Madeleine. and exploded Just
previous to M. Fauro passing that place.
Two men named Moulin and Hedrol were ar
rested. They were seen conversing at the scene
of the explosion. They are known to the police
as Anarchists. hut an investigation later showed
that they had no knowledge of the affair and
