LAMSlORFF VISITS

WELCOMED BY M. pELcAssE

Russian Alliance.
Paris, Oct. 28.-Count lamsdorff,
the Russian foreign minister, arr
here today accompanied by a numer-
Gus suite. M. Delcasse, the French
minister for foreign affairs, was at the
railroad station to extend persona
greeting to the Russian minister. i -
character Of the visit was known by
the presence at the station of NJ Mil
lard, chief of the protocol. M. Ou-
rousoff, the Russian ambassador,
Prince Orloff and ether members of
the Russian embassy, were also pres
ent. After greetings had been ex-
changed, the count was escorted to the
Continental hotel. During the day
many calls of courtesy were exchang-
ed. The program of the visit has
been changed so as to include a grand
reception at the Elysee tomorrow
night in honor of Count Lamsdorff.
M. Delcasse will give a dinner to
the count on the following Friday.
The visit of Count Lamsdorff alb
serbs the attention of the public and
the press, who attribute to it even
more important significance than the
visits of King Edward, and King Vic
&0. ov{e
Among the leading officials a strong
feeling prevails that the main result of
the visit of the Russian minister will
be Strengthening of the bonds of
the Frenco-Russian alliance. This
is considered to be most desirable be-
cause small groups here and in Rus
sia are opposed to the alliance.
Governmental influences here and in
Russia is strongly favorable to the
continuance and extension of the al
lance and it is expected that public
and private expressions during the
present visit will emphasize the per-
manence Of the alliance.
