FIVE YEARS AGO.
,ronvrixht; 1901: BY The New-York TrfbuneD
CABLE TO THE TRIBUEE.l
.ars Sept. 19-The receptions accorded to the
rzar and Czarina and carried out under the most
,r;riant auspices at Dunkirk, Compegne and
1,sairns have aroused an enthusiasm throughout
rance quite equal to that which characterized
che imperial visit five years ago. The expires
IONS friend" and ally" made use Of by
NICHOLAS II and President Loubet in their toasts
md speeches are felt here to be no mere empty
,,rnnlinents but as indicating in simplest Ian
image the real strength and significance Of the
mai Alliance. which has now been an accom-
alished fact for ten years, and the allusion made
nv President Loubet in calling attention to the
coz, that II was Alexandra Ribot, Minister of
Foreign Affairs in 1892, who was at that early
date one Of the principal architects Of the
Franco-Russian alliance is regarded as a grace
sul act Of personal Justice.
The great prominence given TO the military
and naval features of the imperial visit is ex-
,lsined by the fact that five years ago Nicholas

navy Indeed during this mornings outing in
the field during the naneuvres the Car gal
loped about among the troops regardless OF pre-
scribed arrangements or protocol, and made
rlose examinations Of squadrons companies and
batteries at his own free will, and this personal
lusuection Of the French soldiers IN their cam
paigning kit evidently gave Emperor Nicholas
great satisfaction. Special significance is at
tached to this because the Nationalist and re-
dictionary newspapers have been giving undue
proulinence 10 two incidents of insubordination
which took place last week among the newly
lened men belonging to two infantry regiments,
who broke loose from discipline after a hard
gays march and sang the revolutionary Car
nsgnole.' This is being worked for all 1t is
worth by the opposition press to endeavor TO

Ar Waldeck- -Rousseau's Cabinet
Meanwhile all foreign officers who have fol-
Owed the present manonuVres do not hesitate TO
1eciare that never has the French army been in
more efficient condition than at present, when
needless show Of fuss and feathers is eschewed
and businesslike simplicity and practical
methods are apparent in each branch Of the ser
yice and above all. class fayoritism is sup
messed On The whole, the French nation ap
pears TO be stirred with the same pride and
with feelings as intense during the former
Visit Of Nicholas Il and there is far, not the
slightest evidence that the Franco-Russian al
gance has lost one whit OF its attraction for
