CZAR GUARDED THOROUGHLY
Troops Patrol Shore While Russian Sovereign Goes Through Canal. Kiel, July 27. —The czar arrived at Eckernforde today. The Russian emperor and empress will be the guests of Prince Henry of Prussia until tomorrow night. Extraordinary precautions were taken for the safety of the Russian sovereigns. A double company of seamen will be on duty at the castle during the sojourn of their majesties, in addition to a military guard and a force of mounted gendarmes. While passing through the Kiel canal all the ships were occupied by German troops, and four squadrons of hussars rode along the banks the entire way.
