So great was the rush for food at the various restaurants about the railway sta tions that steaks and chops alone were loft. Tho price of meat has gono up within the last few days, but this only applies to choice cuts, such as people en fete order for frlonda Ilread remains at the samo price as before, but tho consumption lias in creased.

Tho decorations eclipsed anything ever soon In tho French capital. Rus sluu and French Hags entwined or flouting side by side predominated, but the trees, balconies, roofs, lamp posts, statues and almost everything else was utilized in tho decorative effects planned to impicss tho czar with the enthusiasm of France. The trees were thickly covered with arti ficial leaves and flowers representing; peach, almond and other blossoms. Restoral columns, forty feet high, painted to imitate stone and sur mounted by Russian double-headed eagles, each six feet high, and sup porting inperial crowns, lined the Champs Elysees. The Place de l'Hotel do Villo was most brilliant with Vene tian masts and eolonades decked with paper flowers and tho Tullerics gar dens were beautified with flags and stutues. Tho arrival of the distinguished travelers was signalled to the expect ant throngs by u fanfare of trumpets, lifter which there was n long roll from the drum corps, the guard of honor presented arms and the troops were called to attention from one end of tho route to the other, causing tho crowds to begin cheering from tho depot to tho embassy. About the sta tion the nir was rent with roars of 'Vive lo Tsar," "Vive PEmpereur," "Vivo la Republlque," and hats, sticks, umbrellas, handkerchiefs, eta, wero waved wildly in tho air. Their Majesties and President Faure and their suites entered the gorgeous state carriages in waiting and tho state entry was begun. Roar after roar arose from the mul titudes. The cortege passed the Aro de Trlorapho and was wildly cheered by the immense crowds filling tho avenues surrounding it, Descending the Champs Elysees there was one con tinuous roar of welcoming cries amid which "Vivo l'Empereur;" "Vive la Republique,""V-c la President" wore tho inoL distinguishable. The crowds .'oi-iuei1 t -ivmultuously waving sea of V-.uxa and arms, ctc. held back by the long lilies of troops whoso bayonets or swords reflected tne sunlight. The president, after reaching the Russian embassy, remained with their Majesties for a quarter of an hour, during which the czar expressed to him how deeply he and the czarina were uffected by tho heartiness of tho welcome.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION NOT AT ALL PLEASINQ. Death on tho lllock Preferrnl to Yteld InR to Mr. Bewail Tho Intter De norinred In Severe Terms Especially Horn (Iter the Fusion Deal In Kansas anil Treatment Accorded Him by Fop ullst Leaders. A Scntlilnc Interview. Nkw Yoih:, Oct. G. -Tho World prints an lntcrvlow with Watson, Populist candidate for vico president, In which ho says: "I'd lay my hoad on tho block heforo I'd retire from tho race and mako way for a plutocrat, a bondholder, a national banker and protectionist like Mr. Sewall. If Mr. bowall is willing to get off the ticket, I bcllovo that even now thoro is chanco to elect Mr. llryan. Mr. llryan and I cou'd at once mako a tour to gether, and insido of ten days we lulght restore thousands of votes." Mr. Watson declares that Chairman Butler of the Populist national com mittee ask of! to sea tho notes of tho first speech he was to deliver, and, coming to tho attack on Mr. Sowall, begged htm to omit it Thereupon -Watson threatened to abandon tbo stump and llutlcr relented. Of Kansas in particular Mr. Watson said: "Even if Mr. Sewall should per sist in threatening Mr. ISryan'a can didacy by remaining on tho ticket, I would consent to fusion in some of the States If It were offered on a basis titat was not absolutely lusultlng to tho Populist cause. Iu Kansas tho Populists havo no representation whatever on tho Presidential ticket. They havo given all the electors to the Democrats in exchange for tho State ticket. In view of the fact that the Populists of Kansas havo four times as many voles as tho Demo crats, they ought to have seven elect ors out of the ten. I would not bo satisfied with less. In Colorado tho Populists should havo three cut of four. In North Carolina the Demo crats havo as many electors as tho Populists think of it and one elector is giyen to a thing colled free silver. I don't want to say what tho real basis of fusion ought to be in North Carolina, because that is Senator But ler's State, but it- ought to bo some thing moru consistent with the power and dignity of the majority party there. "When I went to Kansas to speak I was mot by tho Populist stato chair man, Mr. Ureidenthal, who told mo that the party had already arranged a fusion and begged mo not to make any more trouble. I told him that I would speak at the mass meeting which had beon called. Then he asked me If I would let him aoe my speech. I did a thing which I had never done before and have never dono since. I read him rav notes. When I camo to the part which de nounced Sowall as an enemy of our cause and of our principles, Mr. Ureidenthal pleaded with me to omit It Of course I refused to do it. 'Am I not tho nominee of tho party'." I asked him; 'Did you not yourself Voto to mako me the candidate for the Vico Presidency?' Still ho insisted that I should not attack tho millionaire can didate. 'Vcrv well,' I said, "I will tako my hat and grin and go back to Geor gia. At that he relented, nnd I made my speech. Tho crowd went wild, and at the close of my remarks thoro was a tremendous rush for the plat form. At the next plnce I spoke in Kansas I hud tho same trouble to face. The committee said that everything had been nicely arranged and that I ought not to disturb the plan. I in sisted on doing my duty to my party and spoke boldly to tte people. Thero was another great popular demonstra tion arfd u rush to tho platform. Again I spoko in Kansas. There was no one to meet me at tho railroad sta tion, although tho time of my arrival Was known. I rodo to the hotel in a public cab with a colored man who appeared to bo going in the sarao direction. That is the way the Popu list managers havo treated the candi date nominated by their national con vention." ACCEPTANCE NO. a Mr. llryan ForYnnlly Accepts the ropo llst Nomination. St. Louis, Mo., Oct, 0. On his ar rival here Mr. Bryan gave out for pub lication the following letter of accept ance of the Populist nomination for President: "lion. William V. Allen, Chairman, and others, members of tho notifica tion committee of tho People's party Gentlemen: The nomination of the People's party for the Presidency of the United States has been tendered me in such a generous spirit and upon such honorable terms that I am able to accept the same without departing from the platform adopted by the Democratic" national convention at Chicago. "I fully appreciate the breadth of the patriotism which has actuated tho members of the People's party, who, in order to consolidate the seati ment in favor of bimetallism, have beon willing to go outside of party lines nud support, as their candidate, one already nominated by the Demo cratic party, and also by the Silver party. "It is a cause for congratulation that we have iu this campaign not only the support of Democrats, Popu lists and Republicans who have all along believed In Independent bimet allism, but also the acilvo co-operation of Jthose Democrats, who, havinghere to fore waited for international bimet allism, now join with us rather than trust the destiny of tho nation to thoso who are holding out the de lusive hope of foreign aid while they labor secretly for the permanent es tablishment of the single gold stand ard. "While difficulties always arlso in the settlement of the details of any plan of co-operation between distinct political organizations, 1 am sure that the advocate of bimetallism are so intensely in earnest that they will bo able to devise some means by which the free silver vote may be concen trated upon ono electoral ticket in each state. To secure this result, charity towards the opinion of others and liberality on the lurt of all is necessary, hut honest and slncore frlouds who are working towards the commoh result always find it possible to agree upon just nnd equitable terms. "The American peoplo havo proved equal to every omergeney which hat arlson in the past, nnd I am con fid on ti that in the present emergency thoro will bo no antagonism between tho vnrlous rcgimcntf of tho one grout nrtny whloh is marching to repel an invasion more dangerous to our wol fare than an army with banners. "Acknowledging with gratltudo your expressions of confidence and good will, I am very truly yours, "W .1 HnrAN." MONEY IN THE BANKS. Comparative Statement Indued by Uotnp troller ICckle.
