Paris, Oct. 2S,--Count Lamsdorff. the
Russian foreign minister arrived here
today, accompanied by a numerous
suite. NJ. Delcasse, the French minis
ter for foreign affairs, was at the rail-
road station to extend personal greet
ms to the Russian minister. The official
character OF the visit was shown by
the presence at the station OF M. Mol
lard, Prince Ouroussoif, the Russian
ambassador; Prince Orloff and other
members OF the Russian embassy, were
all present After greetings had been
exchanged, Count Lamsdorff was es-
corted to the ContInental hotel Dur
ing the day many calls Of courtesy
were exchanged, the important confer
ences between NJ. Delcasse and Count
Lamsdorn being deferred until later
The program OF the visit has been
changed so as TO include grand dinner
at the Elysee palace tomorrow night
in honor OF Count Lamsdorff, NJ Del
casse VIII give a dinner to the count on
the following Friday.
The visit of Count Lamsdorff abb
sorbs- the attention OF the public and
the press, who attribute TO II even
more important political significance
than to the visits OF King Edward and
King Victor Emmanuel TO Paris. The
newspapers generally agree that the
foreign minister Will discuss the east
ern and far eastern questions, but Il IL
stated In authoritative quarters today
that the situation IN the far east Is not
likely 70 cceul,y so much attention as
expected since Admiral Alexieff, the
Russian yiceroy Of the far east, has
| been given practically supreme author
lily over the Russian-Japanese situa-
uoD.
The Macedonian situation Will be
gone over and some important
details of the Russian Austrian
troll which Is to carry out the reforms
IN Macedonia, but the note presented to
the porte does not contemplate repre-
sentatlyes of any powers except Russia
and Austria.
Among the leading officials strong
feeling prevails that the main result of
the Visit OF the Russian minister will
be strengthening of the bonds of the
Franco Russian alliance. This Is con-
sidered TO be most desirable because
small groups here and In Russia are op-
posed TO the alliance. Governmental
influences here and In Russia are
strongly favorable to the conference
and to the extension Of the alliance and
II ia expected that public and private
expressions during the present visit
VIII emphasize the permanency Of the
alliance.
WILL REMAIN IN MANcHURIA.
