OUTBURST OF ENTHUSIASM

HIS LITTLE BAND APPEARED.

were decorated with flags.
NM. Deroulede and Marcol-Habert
and several hundred members of the
Patriotic League marched to the place
de la Concorde and deposited a wreath
at the foot of Strasburg statue, amid
cries of give IArmee," ''Vive Deroul
ede." M. Deroulede, in turn, shouted
"Vive la Republique Franchise, "Vive
la Nation Franchise" "Vive / Alsace-
Lorraine" He then requested the
Leaguers to dispense. Some of them
attempted to continue the denonstra-
ton, but the police scattered them.
Dispatches from various garrisons,
including Rennes, report that the re-
views were carried out without Incl
dent. The troops were acclaimed with
the usual shouts of ''Vive rArmee, .
and ''Vive la Republique.
Enormous crowds wended their way
towards Longchamps from early
morning to witness the military re-
view. Stringent precautions were TAX
en- for the preservation of order. the
cabinet ministers began to arrive at
three o'clock. The President of the
Chamber of Deputies, NJ. Deschanel,
and the officials of the house were well
coined with shouts of "ViVe la Repub-
lique, and "Vive FArmee,'' but there
were isolated cries of seditious char
acter, which led to some arrests, near
the Carre-Four DIES Cascades.
President Loubet left the Elysee pal
ace at 2:30 p. M, in a carriage drawn
by four horses. He was accompanied
by the minister of war, Gen. the Mar
quis de Gallifet and Gen. Bailloud. In
a second carriage were the Premier,
NJ Waldeck- Rousseau, and others.
Along the entire route the President
was greeted with cries of "Vive Lou
bet," and give la Republique." When
he arrived at I.ongchamps the shouts
were redoubled. After receiving tie
congratulations of the officials, the
President turned towards the crowds
and bowed repeatedly. Gen. Herman
tin handed over the command of the
troops to Gen. Brugere, the military
governor of Paris, and the review be-
gan forthwith.
Gen. Brugere galloped along the
front of the line and the distribution
of decorations followed. Then the
General took up a position in front of
the presidential stand and the march
past occurred.
AS each regiment passed the presi-
Dental stand its flag was dipped and
the President rose and saluted the
colors. Each time he was greeted with
cheering for the army.
Suddenly roar of applause assembled
from the distant masses of spectators
and increased in volume as Major
Marchand, the African explorer and
principal figure on the French side l.
the Foashoda incident, mounted on a
superb black charger and surrounded
by the Soudanese soldiers who had ac-
companied him across the African
continent, appeared in view and, amidst
increasing excitement, defiled in front
of the President. The air rang with
deafening cries of give Marchand"
and give rArmee" and hats and hand
kerchiefs were thrown upwards on all
sides. AS President Loubet arose the
cheers were redoubled and continued
until the little band of Soudanese disap-
peared in the distance.
