RACCOGINI, Oct. 25.-King Victor

emperor of Russia, passed most of
yesterday together. The emperor after
his long journey and the triumphs
Saturday. retired early last night so
that he might be on hand at a sea-
sOnable hour for a pheasant shoot
that had been arranged for Sunday
morning. Instead of shooting, how
ever, the king and emperor took a
motor trip unescorted, to the media
eval castle at Poiienzo, II miles dis
tant.
In the afternoon the two sovereigns
joined the shooting parry, which was
accompanied by several hundred
heaters. Pheasants and hare We're
abundant and the bag was excellent.
A state dinner in the evening was
the principal event of the day. Be
sides the sOvereigns, the guests in

Duchess of Genoa, Princess Letitia,

the emperor extended his heartiest
greetings to the Russian sovereign,
saying that his visit confirmed the
close friendship and harmony uniting
the houses of the two countries. He

Emperor Nicholas replied that he
was touched by the cordially of his
reception. His visit to this beautiful
country had realized a wish dear to
his heart. and he only regretted that
the condition of her health had pre-
vented the empress from coming with
him.
| The emperor expressed confidence
| that the Russian and Italian govern
ments could labor efficaciOusly to Gull
tivate sympathetic bond that would
! not only lead to an agreement in
| their reciprocal interests, but also to
a general peace. He said that it
was especially agreeable to him to
