KING EDWARD.
VISIT TO RUSSIA. Press Association —Copyright. London, May 21. The Foreign Office announces that King Edward is paying a State visit to the Czar. He will reach Revel in the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert, which will be escorted, on June 9th. This will be the first official visit his Majesty has been able to pay, since his accession to the Throne, to the Emperor, to whom he is closely allied by the ties of friendship and near relationship. Received May 22, 8.0 a.m. London, May 31.
The fact that the Foreign Office makes an announcement of King Edward’s visit to Russia, coupled with its wording indicates that the State character of the visit will predominate. Moreover, Queen Alexandra does not accompany the King. Sir Chas. Harding, Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office, will accompany the King.
The fact that King Edward is sailing on the evening of June 3rd, as soon as convenient after the proposed visit of M. Fallieres, the French President, is commented upon.
