Paris, May liking Edward arrived
here this afternoon and was accorded
n hearty reception by republican
France. His majesty's welcome at the
Dauphine railway station by President
Loubet and the chief officers Of stan,
and his drive through the avenue OF
the Bots de Boulogne and the Champs
Elysees presented a succession OF bril-
lian spectacles. Everywhere the pop
ulace gave the king an enthusiastic
greeting. King Edward showed the
keenest appreciation Of French good
VIII. Only scattered shouts Of "Fa-
shoda!" and "Kruger!" were heard,
and they We're lost in the tremendous
volume OF demonstrative approval.
Vast crowds filled the bouleyards from
the early hours, people struggling to
gain vantage points along the route to
be followed by the royal procession.
President Loubet was surrounded by
the cabinet ministers, the presidents OF
the senate and the chamber Of depu-
ties, the grand commander OF the Lee
gion of Honor, the military and naval
dlgnitaries and the diplomatic corps.
Az the train entered the station the
trumpets sounded a royal salute and
the band played God Save the King
King Edward descended from his car
and advanced slowly and alone, smil-
ing and salutlng. He wore the scar
let uniform of the British field marshal,
his chapeau topped by waving red and
white plumes and his breast decorated
with various insignia, including the
cross of the Legion of Honor, Pres
dent Loubet stepped forward and
grasped the kings hands. The meet
ing between the sovereign and the
president was cordial, almost demon
stratiye. NJ. Loubet welcomed the
king to France, and the king expressed
his thanks for the splendid manifesto
tlon In his honor,
King Edward and the members Of
his party entered state carriages with
gorgeously clad Positions and out
riders, and, escorted by a regiment or
cuirasslers, drove to the British em-
bassy. The route OF the procession was
through the beautiful Avenue du Bots
de Boulogne and the Avenue des
Champs Elysees, arched with chestnut
trees in full bloom. The lowering
clouds which marked the earlier part
OF the day had broken up, and the sun
came forth
The avenues were lined with solid
ranks of dragons cuirasslers, horse
artillery, field batteries and infantry,
guns, helmets and other trappings
cleaning in the sunlight Behind these
martial walls the people were banked,
and all the trees, windows and bal
comics and housetops were crowded
with spectators. IL was estimated that
half million people gathered along
the line.
At the Arc de Triompe the scene was
majestlc-long shimmerlng lines of
soidery and a forest Of waving ban
ners, with hlaring bugles and rolling
drums and succeeding bands taking up
Good Save the King"
The president and the king were con-
tinuously acclaimed as they passed
through the lines of soldiery. Among |
the populace occasionally discordant |
shouts were heard, but the prevailing !
sentiment was strongly friendly.

embassy on the Rue de Fauborg ST. |

prepared for him, including a throne |
room furnished from the art treasures |
OF the Borghese palace. Above the em- |
