WASIIISOTOX , Oct. 17. Immediately after
the Journal was reail In the senate this morn
ing Mr. Dolph of Oregon rose to correct It on
the ground that it was Inaccurate In falling
to recite the presence of Senators Allen and
Kyle on sundry roll calls , they having
been present In the senate and falling
to vote. Mr. Dolph said It had be
come apparent Unit if senators could talk
Indefinitely and read from the books and
papers without limit , and if the senate was
not to amend Its rules or to put u different
construction upon them that the senate must
drift do\rn the current of endless talk with
out accomplishing any results. Ho believed
ho could say that twenty-six republican sen
ators not only favored the reneal of the sli
ver purchasing clause of the Sherman act ,
but would bo willing to vote to amend the
rules so that the same should limit debate.
Mr. Dolph regarded as ridiculous and farcical
the procedure in the senate when a sena
tor suggested the absence of a quorum
and then refused to answer to his name.
Ho characterized us disorderly and violativo
of the spirit of the rules of the s'enato the
refusal of n senator to attend when re
quested by the sergcant-at-arms , or when ho
I did respond , izfusod to voto. That course
vyas bringing the senate into disrepute and
bringing scandal upon it. Ho was getting
very tired of that sort of thing , and it was
time the senalo should have a little back
bone.
bone.Mr.
Mr. Harris of Tennessee regretted that
Mr. Dolph wus tired , but if ho were , the.
best remedy would bo to sit down and rest
[ Laughter.j It would bo a relief to him and
to the senato. ( Laughter. ] The journal , ho
said , recited the proceedings accurately nnd
the scolding administered by the senator
from Oregon was not merited.
Mr. Faulkner of West Virginia , who was
In the chair last evening and ruled on the
resolution then offered by Mr. Dolph that
the names of Messrs. Alien and Kyle bo re
corded , fcaid that there was no power to
count a senator us present , nnd Justified his
decision in ruling the resolution out of order.
Scnntor Hill's 1'onltlon.
Mr. Hill of Now York said ho had never
bared In the belief that In the absence of
ifo
rules the speaker of the house hud not the
right to toll the truth and make the journal
refuse to toll n lie that the speaker had not
the right to exorcise his own senses , and
whorTa member sat right in front of him and
did not vote , lo have the journal show the
fact of bis presence. The senate , Mr. 11111
said , was clinging to some traditions of past
ages and there was no sense in it ; there was
no reason for It and never had been. There
was no harm in what was proposed to bo
dono. The rights of no ono would bo In
vaded , The duty of the senators WAS
greater than that of merely remaining in
their scats. It was their duty to take u part
In the transactions.
Mr. Gray of Delaware Inquired whether
Mr. Hill contended that under the rule there
was no other method of ascertaining the
presence of senators than by their responses
to the roll cull.
"Yes , " replied Mr , Hill emphatically. "Of
course the senator from Delaware will admit
that the strict letter of the rule carried out
to Its legitimate conclusion involves an Jtb
surdity. "
"I believe. " continued Mr. Hill , "that the
presiding olllcor of this body has a perfect
right under the rules upon a roll
call , either upon his own suggestion
or that of ti senator , to first ask
n i nator who is In his seat to voto. When
the senator refuses to vote then I believe \
tbo.president has to enter upon the al
that the senator was present nnd declined to
vote. "
The vice president held there was nothing
boforn tlio senate at this stage except what ;
pertained to the approval of the journal and :
therefore the resolution of Mr. Dolph wus
not In order ,
Mr. Dolph then moved that the name of
Mr. Allen bo entered in connection with
the roll call had at 0:10 : p. in. yesterday
afternoon.
Started tlio Trouble.
Mr. Morgan , democrat , ot Alabama isnid
ho was not surprised Unit tlio senator from
Now York ( Mr. Hill ) had championed the
rulings of the house because hi ) was the unfortunate -
fortunate Instrument when ho presided over
i tlicbeimtoof Now York In tlio introduction
* of Unit heresy not only Into the democratic
party and Its traditions , but also Into the
constitutional rights of legislative bodies.
Mr. Morgan called it heresy because , to tils
mind , obviously. It wus that the majority of
a legislative body , ho said , could take care
of Itself.
"Docs the majority hero take care of it
self I" n ked Mr. Wafihhurn.
"I will Inform the gentleman "
, replied d > .
Morgan , "that ho himself has some times
been In the majority [ referring to the nntl-
option bills when no was not able to take
care of hiniboU. "
" 1 have always been a bio to take care of
myself In this body and elsewhere , " said
Mr. Washburn sharply.
"I have not seen it so worked out in the
measure * the senator lias advocated , " do
clarfd Mr. Morgan ,
"Tho scniite passed that bill by a Imnd-
' 3011:0 : majority , but it failed In thu house for
the want of a two-thirds majority , " said Mr.
Wushburn.
MiiifHii Sprnki IMnlnly to Mill.
Mr- Morgan said ho did not wonder that
n politician born nnd reared In Now irk
where arbitrary force wus thu Ing
ageney in nil political machinery , both demo
orntlc und lepubllcun , nad at last come to
bolliivo that there was nothing clue to > bo
done fn i < olillc8 but simply to got a majority
of the votes and then usu the power whlct
thaltruve ,
Mr. Morgan went un to speak of the
"alliaiK'o and coalition" between ccrtuli
deinocrutto senators and certain republics i
Buna tors us certain to disrupt the democrat !
party and lie asked whether bis democrat !
colleagues were willing to fctrlko thnt fata
blow The coalition in tliu senate wui
| vt created In defense of the national banks am
for the pnrpoin of destroying silver money
"I wish to bay fnr myself that that is un
true. " said Mr. Gray , democrat , of Delaware
If the senator from Delaware , " said Mr
Morgan , " > vutvs to make n personal uppllcn
tlon of a remark which I have not applied t
him , 1 cannot help It , " '
J'romltvt mi AiiKUiliurnt.
i * , Mr. Morgan , In the courio of his speech ;
* * } BAU1 ho proposud to offer nu amendment I
the bill to strlko out nil after the enacting
clause and Insert n section repealing the
whole and not a part of the Sherman law.
Mr. Washburn thought over for some
tlmo the declaration of Mr. Morgan as to n
coalition nnd after Mr. Morgan had loft the
subject asked him what ho meant by It.
"I mean an agreement. , " said Mr. Morgan ,
' between the democrats and republicans
who favor the pending bill , that It shall not
bo amended In any particular whatever.
That is the first proposition. Is that right ! "
"Oo on , " urged Mr. Washburn.
"Is that right ! " persisted Mr. Morsan.
"After the senator simll have made his
statement , I dcslro to stnto Unit there Is no
coalition of any description , " said Mr. Wash-
burn. "No agreement or understanding of
any character or description and when the
senator slates there is a coalition , ho docs a
very grave Injury to every man on this sldo
of the chamber. "
Hnineki of Old Tlmrs.
"I will not yield the lloor to the senator to
abuse me , " said Mr. Morgan.
" 1 do not intend to , " disclaimed Mr. Wash-
burn.
"Then sit down , " dcraantlcd Mr Morgan.
"I want todefcntl myself. " said Mr. Wash-
burn , and my republican colleagues from the
charge of the senator from Alabama.
"Tho senator was Introducing himself In
'
a matter In'which I did not have him in
mind. " said Mr. Morgan. "I did not have
him In mint ! as u leader of the republican
party. " [ Uiughtor.J
" 1 stand heroins a republican , " replied
Mr. Wasliburn excitedly , "and I am not to
bo Insulted for my position. "
I am hero on tills lloor. " declared Mr.
defiantly , "responsible ! for every
word I say , either in this chamber or out-
sido. You understand that ! "
"Perfectly , " Mr. Washhurn replied.
"I'erlectly responsible. " added Mr. Mor
gan , in emphasis of his original statement.
S't n n nt ' Km All.
Mr. Morgan then resumed hl : argument ,
IIo alluded to Senator Sherman as ono of
the coalition loaders , and Senators Ledge
and Hill ho called the "Juveniles from Mas
sachusetts and Now \orlc. " Ho proceeded
to argue niralnst the position taken by Mr.
Hill , which brought that senator to his feet
to s u to exactly what his position was.
"I claim first. " said Mr. Hill , "that it Is
within the power of the presiding ofllcer ( In
the absence of express rules to the contrary )
to determine the presence of a quorum. My
second proposition is that there is no rule of
the senate which expressly or oven implledly
forbids that action. "
Mr. Gray could not call to n.ino any provo
cation for Mr. Morgan's heroics , no'r could
he see much of argument In support of any
of the important propositions pending. Vitu
peration was not argument , and imputations
on thu motives of others did not carry con-
viction.
Wltlliicr to Die night Thrrc.
On the question of cloture Mr. Morgan do-
lloil the senators to establish such a'rule. .
Ho would not bo warned Into subordination
to the scheme of any ono b.y anything of the
kind , nor would ho surrender his eonstlt.u-
tional rights In response to howling , rain-
pant dcnmnas of concession to the national
banks.
"It I must die here , " said Mr. Mo'rgau in
closing , " 1 will die lilte an honorable man at
my post. "
Mr. Oray took IRSUO with Mr. Hill. That
senator was In error in saying there was no
ruio that covered the case expressly or im-
plicdly. Ho read a portion of the rules to
show that the presiding ofllcor could not act
in accordance with Mr. Hill's suggestion.
Ho had denounced the proposition before on
the force bill ns it stup toward absolutism ,
ana he denounced it now. Ho did not pro-
posa to blow hot niul cold.
Messrs. Allen und Kvlo took occasion to
deny that they we.ro present when the roll
in question was called.
Mr. Hill said ho nad not expected to con
vince senators who had no resnoet for the
supreme court and wcro not willing to bow
to its decision.
Paid Ilia Hmpectn to Morgan.
Mr. Hill then paid his respects to Mr.
Morgan. It was true , Air. Hill said , that
there were politicians in Now York. He
supposed thnt there were no politicians in
Alabama. They were nil statesmen from
that country. [ Laughter. ! Mr. Morgan
had spoken of his lifelong devotion to the
constitution.
"I supposed , " stiid Mr. Hill , "for a brief
period , my friend was supporting another
constitution , but I am mistaken. " [ Ap
plause. ] As to Mr. Morgan's talk about
dying at his post , Mr. Hill had hoard llko
statements by men who wore going to die in
the lust cliteli , "but , " said Mr. Hill , "there
are many of them left. [ Kenewcd laughter. ]
Then Mr. Hill , referring to a remark of
> lr. Morgan , that the decision of the su-
iremo court did not bind his conscience , Mr.
lill related an anecdoteof a lawyer arguing
case before a justieo of the peace , who
cad : i chapter from Hlackstonc , not for the
nirposu of showing that the justice was
vrong , but to show what u fool Hlaekstono
vas. [ Laughter. ] So ho ( Mr. Hill ) lmi <
cad the decision , not to show that Mr. Mor
gan was wrong , for ho was always right , but
or the purpose of showing what a fool the
uprcmo court had made of itself.
Kcvoril of the Old Koiiinii. ,
Referring to u remark of Mr. Morgan , com-
> limcntury to Allen G. Thurnmn. Mr. Hill
-.aid ho supposed Mr. Morgan , In making
hat tribute , had in view all the rccovds of
Mr. Thurmnn in the senalo. Hellion read
rom the Journal of the sonata when on ono
iccasion Mr. Thurnmn being temporarily
called to thu chair and certain senators reusing -
[ using to vote , counted a quorum. The gal-
cries vigoroisly applauded the recital of
, hls action on the part of Mr. Thurnmu and
Mr. Hill snid : "Thero Is the precedent
which I ask this body to imitate. Tlioro Is
ono of the distinguished men whom I pro-
lose to follow rather than the lead of the
distinguished senator from Alabama. "
Mr. Hhorinuii'n Speech.
Mr. fclicrnmn , republican , of Ohio then addressed -
dressed the son a to. Ho said the rules of
thosunnto worn made to expedite public
business ( n , an orderly , proper manner and
their object was to enable the senate to leg
islate.Ylillo that was the primary object
of alt rules , it was equally Important to give
the minority full und free opportunity of
debate. But when the rules wore used by
the minority to obstruct legislation the
rules should at once bo altered , Whenever
a minority uspd means of obstruction unduly
It created a revolution.
Mr. Sherman said the destructive methods
which linil been pursued in the last two
months hud gone far beyond anvtlnmr ho
had over witnessed in his senatorial experi
ence. In fact , obstructive measures had
been resorted to which had never boon In
voked slnca ( ho senate was first organized.
It was then n dignified body of twenty-six
members and It went to the extreme verpo
of liberality in debate. Thu practice of
stopping a senator In thu midst of his speech
to suggest the absence- a quorum was an
innovation and was a kind of obstruction
that had never been resorted to before.
Violation or Itulut of Uooil Order.
The refusal of senators to vote was a vie
lation of thu rules of good order. He thought ,
therefore , probably not at this scission , that
the time had arrived whentho senate must
adopt rules to prevent obstruction to public
business. There was a change in the senate
not on tliu score of ability , but duo to In
creased numbers. There was no legislative
body in the world that had not somu power
to close debate. The proper way to secure
a limit of debate was in thu next session
of congress to have the committee
on rules strengthened in numbers
und have It examine all the
various rules and report a rule which would
give to the minority the full power to express -
. press Its opinion und proscribe the time
when and thu place where the final vote
could bo tuken , The present session had
continued two months und nothing had been
dona- not : i single measure had passed the
senate that was of the slightest importance.
The house of representatives hud performed
its duty , but In thu senate there had not
been a vntoou any question where there haa
been \uy difference of opinion. That , con
tinued the senator , would no longer com
mand thu respect of active and intelligent
people -and Americans were men of uctlou
In all departments.

Iteprescntativo ICeni had the floor of the
house this morning for a period of fifteen
minutes on n question of personal privilege.
Hu sent to the clerK's dusk und hud read us
his text a Washington special 10 TUB DEI :
of the lilth lust. , reciting the fact that Hop
resontativu Molklejohn had called up and secured
cured the passage ) of the bill extending the
provisions of the act of March , 1MJ ) , relating
to the opening of the Sioux Indian reservation
in South. Dakota over that portion of thu
reservation which lies in Xonrasun , wlilcli
wus a measure of vast Importanca to No
brasku settlors. The special also noted the
fact that when the bill was missed there
were present neither If em , McKelghnn nor
lir.yaii , and it also took occasion to observe
thu well known fact that these thrco worthy
inisrcpresentutivcs of Nebraska interests
hud wholly failed 10 perfor-n ' .heir uuty dur
ing the past two years In securing tills legls
latiou. Addressing the speaker Mr , Kcm
announced that Representative Meiklojohu
who is a member of the commltteo'on public
lands , whence this bill emanated , wus not n
liigli-inlnded gentleman or he would not
Imvo called up hU ( Kern's ) bill for action in
bla ( Kern's ) absence. He stated that he
was necessarily absent from the house am !
that It his Intention
was himself to scciin
action upou thu Kensuro at some future day
Mr. ICem was wrothy over ttioTrict thnt Mr
Mciklcjohn had finally secured definite nnd
final action upon the nicasuriv
MelkleJnlin'K Iteplr.
Mr. Mciklcjohn arose and s ld that after
the morning hour on the 12thiof October bo
called up , seeing that Mr. ICcm was absent
from the floor of the house , Aiul nskcd the
unanimous consent uf the house for Itn Im
mediate consideration of this bill. Consent
was given , and the bill was at once passed
and sent to the senate , whern it will receive
consideration at the Kfitids of Senator
Mantlet son that was given tt in the house.
Mr. M.clklcjohn staled that If In serving
the interests , of his constituency
and remaining In his seat for the
purpose , so that no opportunity might
pass unimproved , was "not being a penile-
man , " ho was witling that that indictment
should stand against htm permanently. It
has always bcun the custom during the
morning hour for any member of a committee -
tee to call up any measure foi- consideration
which has emanated from his committee ,
and it has always been regarded the duty oT
a member In thu absence of his colleague to
see tnat no opportunity was missed to secure
action upon a measure Introduced by his
colleague , and in the action which Mr.
Mclklojohn secured ho was not only reliev
ing the people In Nebraska , who wcro di
rectly Interested , but if Mr , ICcm was acting
in good faith , was placing the member of
the Sixth district under obligations to him.
Mr. Koin made a sorry spectacle of himself ,
llryiin Him u Compromlm ) .Scheme.
Hopresentattvo Uryan has invented n
compromise upon the silver problem. Ho
stated to Tun HUE correspondent In his terse
language :
"It seems now certain that a compromise
of some kind will bo obtained , I hone it will
bo such a compromise ns will recognize the
principle of bimetallism. The democratic
platform said : 'Wo hold to t io use of both
gold and silver ns the standard money of the
country. ' etc. The ropubllcon platform
expressed the same idea in almost
Identical language , suyimrt 'The.republican
party demands the use of both gold and
silver ns standard money,1 etc. It would
therefore seem necessary that the compro
mise , unless both platforms are to bo repudi
ated , should recognize both g'oldand silver as
standard money. A reasonable basis for
compromise has been suggested nnd could bo
adopted , without the sacrifice of principle on
cither side , if the friends of repeal are sin
cere in their declarations in favor of bi
metallism. Lot the compromise measure
provide for the unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the present ratio. Q'his will satisfy
tliu silver men.
Solved by MclRiiloniKO.
' 'Then to quiet the fears of those who think
wo would bo deluged with silver from
abroad , or that an Increased price would
flood us with homo-produced fcilver. seignior
age could bo agreed ution , The silver men
would want it as small as possible ; the gold
men would dcslro It as larg'o'hs possible , but
they could probably porno 'together on an
amount between ' . ' 0 and 30 per cent. I believe -
liovo that 27 percent would make the bul
lion ratios about l S to 1 , which is substan
tially thurato lixcd by tho'Indian council
when it suspended the coinage of silver.
This seigniorage , while it does not destroy
the principle of bimetallism nor interfere
with the automatic suyply of money ,
allays the fears. I beliqyo such fears
are groundless. Of those who believe this
country would become a dumping ground for
the world's silver , such a solution of the
question , owhilo not so satisfactory to bi-
mctullistsas free coinage would , bo more sat
isfactory than unconditional repeal , and
while not so satisfactory to the repealers as
unconditional repeal it wouli ) bo more satis
factory than free coinage. " .
They Must Krcocnlio fillvor.
"It must bo remembereutt ; it--n majority of
the democrats in the house preferred the
restoration of the Bland act , to unconditional
repeal , and that they only 'voted for uncon
ditional repeal after a majority of the re
publicans had prevented their obtaining the
Bland act. It must also be romoinbored that
a majority of the democratic senators , oven

Argued n Usury Caso.
In the supreme court of the United States
.oday a usury case from Nebraska was
Argued. It was the consolidated cases of the
Schuylcr National bank of Schuyler , Neb. ,
ugalnst Neil H. Qollong and John U. Bollong.
The Uolloiigs , when theirpaper given to the
First National of Charlotte , N. O. . held by
thu Schuyler National banlc , fell duo , pleaded
usury and claimed that tbo bank had vie
lated section Ji.lUSof the Ityvised Statutes of
the United States , which provides that a
national bank which exceeds the rate of in
terest allowed by the laws of the state in
which the bank is located'ls guilty of usury ,
and the borrower may recover double the
amount of interest paid. The Tiollongs sued
for double the amount of interest
paid , and demanded a jury trial ,
and in the lower court secured
ono ludgmontfor $402and another for&iiU.
The cases were consolidated nnd passed
through the various courts' of Nebraska and
liiullycomo to dernier resort. The defend
ed Is hero argue that thu plaintiff.in their
suits tailed to allege whcro the notes or
other evidence or indobtedners wcro innoo
and where p'lyablo , thai they failed to show
that the several contracts undertaken to beset
set out wore contracts under the laws of
Nebraska , and that the omission was there
fore fatal to their cases and upon these facts
a reversal of the judgment Is asked , The
case argued upon UH merits huru is prac
tically a demurrer. No effort was appar
ently made In the arguments today to dis
prove the alleged usury. William O. Twom-
bly and .1. G. Bigelow appeared for the
plaintiffs in error nnd C.J. . . I'hclps for the
defendants In error.

1'Aiils , Oct. 17. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Bi'.n.l The day In
1'arls was Just what I predicted It would bo.
yesterday was a triumphant and grandiose
spectacle. Two million people were massed
In the streets and cheered thu Husslan of
ficers. No discordant cry was heard. The
only shouts were "Vivo la llusslol Vivo la
Franco ! "
The Joy of the public was colossal ,
It Is necessary In order to properly under
stand the fcto that it means that Franco has
found an ally.and no longer feels that nhe Is
atone in Europe ; that she no longer fears n
sudden attack.
The German newspapers nnd the papers
across the silver .streak should understand
at last why the French people are happy.
Tnoy have won a victory without offtislon of
blood. They have found sure friends ,
whoso friendship Is based on a community of
Interests und racial sympathy.
You will receive from other sources the
details of events of the day , but it Is impos
sible to describe the popular enthusiasm.
The Hussian olllcers were carried about in
triumph wherever they passed , shaken by
the hand by the working class and kissed by
the women. The fete has lost its olllcial
character and has become a veritable frater
nal festivity.
Thry'ro All Jolly Good Follow * .
Admiral Avolan lias produced an excel
lent impression. IIo Is extremely pleasant
to all. At the state dinner given by Presi
dent Carnet this evening ho enchanted all
those who mot him. The other ofllcors of
tlio Hussian fleet speak ' French , are
young and appear merry.
A political demonstration or sensational
speech must not bo expected , for the mere
presence of Hussians is of itself a
demonstration. Its first result is
the uniting of all Frenchmen from.
the duke of the Faubourg do St. Germain
to the workman of the Faubourg do
St. Antoinc in the same burst of enthuiasm.
The Jockey club , like the window of the
humblest republican organization , Is bedecked
with flags. Tiio republic has also gained
confidence. It feels its lor o is confidence in
Its army and its ally. All this is worth tne
price paid for if.
Slg. Crispi said yesterday nt Gono.i :
"IIo who wants war is n madman. " Sig.
.Crispi is right. In Paris no one wants war.
When the Russians arrived in the Place do
1'Opera , the Parisians shouted : ' "Vivo la
France 1" which meant "Hurrah for our
selves , who have rusumcd , our.pluco in the
world. "
It is the finest day that Paris has seen
since 1801) ) . A week will bo given up to fes-

PAHIS , Oct. 17. Shortly after sunrise this
norning the streets of this capital wcroalivo
vith pcoplo bent upon enjoying a holiday
nd at the same time giving a welcome to
, ho Hussian sailors. Work throughout the
: ity appears to bo at a standstill. As early
s 7 o'clock the streets wcro crowded with
leoplo , among whom were tens of thousands
f work people In their Sunday clothes ,
ivhilo every train landed thousands from the
ountry districts. Thi ? incoming was kept
up until the day wus far advanced. All
long the streets where the Russians wcro
ikoly to bo seen the windows , balconies ,
lousotops , and c'vcn the chimneys were
black with people who had determined to
iliout themselves hoarse in honor of the
tussian visitors. Below , the streets wcro
nearly hidden beneath the decorations and
ho moving mass of people passing through
hem , with conspicuously displayed badges
and other emblems of the colors of Russia

The Hussians arrived at the garro do
Lyons , which had been handsomely dec
orated for tlio occasion , at 'J:20 : a. m. , and
, vcro received by cabinet ministers nnd
deputations from the various rocontion com
mittees , and many thousanos of people who
crowded around the station and packed the
platform near it , nnd shouted "Vivo la
Russo. " Admiral Avollan and the olllcers
who accompanied him stood up in the car
riages awaiting to escort tliom to the Mili
tary club and replied to the cheers of the
French by ( trying "Vivo la Franco. "
Some idea of the number of people assem
bled around the garro do Lvons may bo
gathered from the fact that the police admit
that at least 1011,000 pcoplo were asjomblcd
around the station nnmtloiicd , and ovcry
large and small street leading to the mili
tary club wax packed with men. women and
children , shouting for Russia and the c/ar
The thoroughfares wcro dazzling , witli
( lags , flowers and streamers , It was only
with the greatest difficulty that the police
could kee.p the road clear , nnd at times the
enthusiasm of the French was worked un to
such a pitch that the Russians looked
alarmed at the triumphant progress to itho
Military club. So great was the excitement
that it was found linpoislblu to move their
carriages through the streets any faster
than a walk , owing to the immense surging
und cheering musses of pcoplo who blocked
the way , ami now und then bnivt through
ttio lines of police and military like human
waves , washing away trifling obstructions ,
All I'lirU Turnml Out.
Admiral Avollan , replying to the address
of welcome proticntcd to him at the railroad
station upon betiiilf of the president of thu
council , s.tid that he was happy that ho had
been chosen to return the visit of Admiral
Gorvnis to St. Petersburg , and closed with a
few complimentary remarks about Franco
and Frenchmen. The Russian admiral , to
gether with his officers , appeared to bo
thqroughly tired after the long journey nnd
the scries of Toulon entertainments which
hud preceded It.
The crowds gatlicreu about the PJuco d1
la Opera this morning were the greatest over
known In 1'aris , Ono of the features of the
crowd was the extreme good humor dis
played on all sides. Hundreds of thousands
of men waved hats and almost as many
women wa\ed handkerchiefs , sunshades and
umbrellas In the ulr crying "Vivo la Rus
sia , " us the Russian sailors slowly wended
their way to llio Military club.
Admiral Avelnn and his ofllotrs bud no
sooner entered the cldo than the tremendous
roar of cheering which swept over the Place
d'la Opera compelled them to reappear on
the balcony of ' the club , where , in reply to
iho greeting of'the vait multitudes below ,
the Russian admiral und his stuff waved
their cups in the air nnd cried "Vivo la

Tlinii iiixl < Cheered Thoin.
The Russians drove to the Palais d' Elysco
this afternoon , and on their way homo the
same enthusiastic scenes were wit
nessed ns during the previous movements
of the visiting sailors. The boulevards and
the neighborhood of the Palais d' Klyseo
wcro so densely packed with pcoplo that all
movement was utterly Impossible until thu
Russians had gene to thu palace and left
there I after the revuntlon.
Some foolish people- raised hisses before"
thu Urltish cmb.issv , Imt the demonstration
was soon suppressed. While thu Russians
were on the way to the palace the crowds
sung the "Marseillaise" and cheered for the
Russian and French army. A eablo message
cannot begin to picture the scones of en
thusiasm witnessed on all sides.
Admiral Avelan , during thu course of the
day , was olllclally advised of the death of
Marshal Me.Malion , and nxpresscd great re
gret at the loss which Frunco lists suffered.
In the Chamber of Deputies the Russians
wcro welcomed bv Vice 1'resldent Oas > lmlr
Pcrlor. who , addressing Admiral Avelan ,
declared that the French fully appreciate
the honor paid them by Admiral Avelan
und bin olllcors in visiting the Chamber , and
expressed pleasure that the hearts of Rus-
tdaii ! > and Frenchmen beat in unison en this
occasion ,
Ki'crlvecl by thn Prrxldutit.
President Carnet received the Russians
surrounded by the onlccrs of his military
household and after having greeted them
hu turned to the Russian visitors and said :
"You have already received , Messieurs ,
at Toulon the expression of the goodwill of
the French government and also Unit of the
provinces through which you liavo pa&sed ,
and whllo in our nation you will meet the
same sincere , cordial welcome. The ties of
frcndshlp which have been drawn closer
by the touching demonstrations of which
our Hoot was the object at Cronsiadtaro
growing stronger every day. May the loyal
inturehango of our feelings and friendship
be an inspiration to all who have at heart
Lho bcnellt of peace , confidence and secur
ity. The great emperor who sent you , Mes
sieurs , and whom 1 greet from this place , in
trusted you with an exalted mission which
you have worthily carried out. I bid you
therefore welcome. "
Admiral Avelan replied , thanking the
French president for the courtesies ex
tended to himself und his olllcers while on
French soil.
Tlio Russians then loft the Palais < VElysco
and visited the government buildings , In-
cluJing the Senate and Chamber of Depu
ties.
Kxclinngml Compliments.
It was with dlflleulty that the police man
aged to force a narrow line through the vast
concourse of people assembled abound the
public buildings which immediately closed
behind the carriages occupied by the Rus
sian ofllcors. until the crush was so great
that the vehicles wcro carried forward by
the throng amid deafening cheers , men ,
women and children running beside the car
riages and grasping the hands of the Rus
sian officers , who often rose from their seats
waved their hats and shouto'l : "Vive , nous
bens amis les FrancaibC. " ( Vivo , our good
friends , the French. ) To these Russian
cheers the crowd replied with cries of "Vivo
nous bens amis les Uuss. "
Altogether the scene was unprecedented
in the history of the world , unless an excep
tion bo made in favor of the extraordinary
scene witnessed when hundreds of crowded
row boats passed around the Russian flucr
ship Nicholas at Toulon recently and French
army and navy officers joined with men ,
women and children of all classes in kissing
the hands of thu Russian sailors who were
extended to them through the port bolus.
This evening all the prominent and many
small buildings of the city wore illuminated.
President Carnet created the Russian ad

this evening the visits of Admirals Corel and
Turell of the Italian navy , amidst much cer
emony and the burning of a large amount of
powder in salutes. The British ollicors re
mained over an hour on board the Italian
flagship Italia , and the admirals and other
olllcers partook of a sumptuous entertain
ment on ooard the vessel.
The Italian admirals referred in toasts In
the most fluttering terms to the power of the
British navy and to the great influence
which the friendship existing between Italy ,
and England should have upon the peace of
Europe.
Admiral Seymour in reply referred In
complimentary phrases to the warships of
Italy and was also of the opinion that both
navies could not bo better employed than in
the maintenance of peace.
Later in the day Admiral Seymour re
ceived ail the local government and munici

presented the British admiral with a most
flattering address of welcome.

Great Britain In these waters.
Tlio whole of the press of Italy today
joins In admirable greeting of tlio British
licet and the significant fact of this occur
rence , when sovcn vessels of Russia are
gathered in French waters , is not to bethought
thought slightly of , and vyhutover the Intent
of the British squadron in Taranto is , it is
looked upon on all sides ns a counter move to
the presence of the Russian squadron at
Toulon.
This evening a banquet was given to the
English admiral and his olUcers on board
the Italia , the hosts being the onlccrs of the
Italian navy and leading merchants. Ad
miral Corel , in toasting Admiral Seymour

Admiral Seymour , in reply to Admiral

Ho expressed sincere thanks- for the
warmth of the reception and said the sight
