A Crush During the Cerem onies.

CHICAGO. May during the dedication
ceremonies today there was fearful crush
in the Administration building crowd in
front. Those in the rear pressed on those
in front to get within hearing distance,
and those in turn pressed harder on those
before them and SO on until near the front
the jam was terrific. The Columbian
guards were utterly unable to cope with
the surglng mass, and those in front were
pushed into the reporters quarters.
Finally there came cries of rage and pain,
and finally the head and shoulders of
woman in a swoon, with ashen lips and
disheveled clothing, was upborne above
the heads of the throng. Then the FAINT
ing form Of boy was held aloft in the
sinewy black arms of q stalwart negro. 1t
was becoming serious matter and the
blind persistence OF the eager throng
threatened death and panic. The atten-
ton of the people on the stand was at
tracted to it and President Cleveland
watched it narrowly. Finally q mounted
cavalryman made difficult passage
through the throng for egress with the
tainting ones and a battalion Of United
States regulars widened the space, pushing
the crowd back with the butts OF their
muskets. Meantime the proceedings had
ended and serious disaster was averted.

ROSS GRADERS STILL AT WORK


Puyallups Claim That the Government
Cannot Stop Them.
TACOMA, May l-[Special. IA move
ment is on foot to have citizens petition
the department of the interior for an in
vestigation OF the proposition to allow
Puyallup Indians to grade q railroad
through the reservation. Some Of
the friends of Frank c. Ross
desire an investigation, but Maj. French is
not pleased with the delay in meeting Mr..
Ross and arranging for the prompt re-
moval of the graders.
TACOMA. MaylL-[Special.]- Maj. French
was entertained today by the Commercial
Club. and he made the suggestion that the
citizens make some sort of an effort to do
away with the necessity of bringing troops
here to remove Frank G. Ross graders
on the Puyallup reservation, provi-
ded they desired that they be not in
terfered with. He would, of course, pro-
coed to carry out his orders and remove the
trespasse:s if the orders were not rescinded.
1t was suggested that the advice of
Gen. Kautz, retired. might be of weight in
the matter, and Maj. French was conf
dent that whatever Gen. Kautz said would
be given careful consideration.
Gen. Kautz is of the opinion that the In.
dams should not be prevented from grad.
ing the road through the reservation.
All of the intelligent Indians say with Ross
that the government has no right to
interfere. except as regards the real
reservation, which consists of the
lands not patented. and comprises
500 acres or more. On all the pat
ented lands, they claim the govern
ment cannot interfere. Ross has legal
advice in the premises and today con-
tinued the graders At work, with the
promise that more would be put at work.

Land aud Water Lines Can Garry About
10000 an Hour.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The facilities today to
and from the exposition grounds were
given q first trial and proved eminently
satisfactory. The bulk of the down town
traffic reached the ground over the Illinois
Central road in trains of eight cars each,
which were run at three-minute intervals.
These facilities will be increased when oc-
casion demands to twice the present ca
pacity. The Illinois Central handles an
average of 1000 people an hour. The Cot
tage Grove avenue cable cars disgorged
crowds at the exposition gates at the rate
of 5000 per hour without great crowding
The elevated system is not so fortunate As
its competitors, for its terminal system is
not finished and today it was literally
swamped. The road carried about 1000
an hour. but could have doubled that
number under more suspicious circum-
stances. Boats ran at thirtyminute in-
tervals, but the day was too cold and the
lake water too rough for the water route
to be popular.
Taking the day. which was considerably
heavier than the average will be, as q cri-
terion, it is safe to say that transportation
to the exposition will be ample tor all the
demands made upon it.

SPANS DAY AT THE FAIR.

The Infanta Eu1a1ia Opens tho Spanish
Exhibit In Manufactures Building.
CHICAGO. June 18.-Today IL Spanish
Day" ut the fair. Princess Eulalia and
party came to the grounds Mt noon, and
Will remain until late in the evening. The
Spanish section in Manufactures building
was opened at Q o'clock by the infanta,
and the Spanish exhibits In Agricultural
hall shortly after. From there the party
went over the foreign quarter. where the
Spanish building was opened There was
absolutely no ceremony, the infanta hav-
ing given 1t out that nothing of an official
nature would be agreeable to her.
The princess visited the fair yesterday,
arriving in the morning and remaining un.
til late IL the afternoon. Tho infanta, in
following the bent of her own whimsical
Will, has given the officials of the fair a
pretty chase, and they don't relish the task
imposed upon them. They don't object to
paying all the attention to the infanta to
which she IL entitled, but Commander
Davis and Others who are playing escort to
her highncss expect Columbian guards to
be at every point where she passes and at
every place she enters. although no notice
is given of the party's movements.
After lunch at the white Horse Inn''
the party spent some time in the Midway
Plaisance. From there they were taken to
the Convent La Rabida. The paths and
entrance to the convent were packed with
people, but the infanta only smiled, and
spent another half hour within the walls
seeing the Columbian relics and other kim
dred exhibits. The next move was to take
ride In a special train on the electric
road, and the visit was ended. The return
