The Czar's Visit to France.
A BRILLIANT RECEPTION. |p6r Press Association.! Paris, Oct. 5. Paris is in a state of feverish excitement over the Czar and Czarina's visit. The city is thronged with visitor-, and it is said quite 40,000 people are unable to find any accommodation. Fabulous prices are paid for windows along the route through the city. The decorations lavished are on a brilliant scale. Paper foliage and blossoms are glued to the chestnut trees on the boulevards. Arrangements are made for a round of splendid State functions, balls, banquets, and illuminations. A review of 70,000 troops will be held at the great military camp at Chalons. The Czar will visit Carnot's tomb. Much comment is excited by the absence of Madame Faure, the President's wife, from the Imperial procession. The reason put forward which, however, is rt garded as a mere pretext, is that there is no official place for her.
