Not Less Than Four Thousand
Killed During the Terrible
Rush for Food.
GAR NICHOLAS COLLAPSED By
THE GREAT CALAMITY.
Throughout the Empire the Horror Is
Regarded as a Ban full Portent
for His Reign.
fcopyrignt 1898 by the New York Trmes.I


LONDON, ENG, June 6.--The Russian
papers for four days after the terrible ca
tastrophe on the Kodynskoe plain are now
at hand, but they contain only the briefest
reference to report that there was good
deal of pushing in the crowd assembled
there. and that some lives were lost. If it
had not been for the presence in Moscow
of host OF foreign correspondents this is
probably all We ever should have heard of
the bIoodiest disaster of modern times.
Private letters from the CORES pondents
are beginning to disclose what the earlier
and apparently edited kilograms failed TO
show-that in Moscow it is the popular be.
lief that not less than 1000 Tere killed or
mortally hurt, and thai many estimates
put the sinister numbers much higher.
II also appears that the mob seized the
opportunity given by the panic to drag
good many of the paid cossacks from
their saddles ana to strangle or tramp the
life out of them. There is a general
understanding that the young Gar, al
ready overweighted and worn out by the
tremendous strain of the prolonged cere-
monials and festivities imposed OF him,
went into hysterical collapse at the news
Of the tragedy and that the whole court
is still frightened at the possibly perma-
nent effects of the shock on him. In such
medievally superstitious nation as Rus
sia everything unusual is an omen, and it
is not surprising that throughout the en-
pire this unique horror should be regarded
as a most paleful portent for the new
reign.
There seems to have been almost super
natural malignity in the chance which ar
ranged that very evening Tor the French
Embassy's share in the coronation festivi-
ties. l understand that both the French
ambassador at Moscow and his superiors
in Paris favored postponement Of the
state ball set down for Saturday night and
that they suggested doing so, but they
were overruled by the heads OF the Russian
bureaucracy and by Prince Lobanoff in
particular, who said it would be impossi-
BILE to make the Russian people under
stand such an interruption, or to prevent
them from believing the widest and most
mischievous lies about the reasons for such
break in the round of gayeties. Accord
ingly the dance went on, and perhaps 1t
did exert some reassuring effect on Mos
COW, but this was obtained at the cost of q
very painful sensation in Paris.
| Not much is said about it by the upper
class French journals, which recognize
the necessities of their Government in
such difficult and delicate business as
this Russian alliance, but the popular and

ton and Sylvester 7. Everett of this city
visited Mckinley at Canton to-day. Upon
their return TINS evening they all de-
clared they had real nice time, but in.
sisted that nothing of any political signif-
cance had transpired. 1t is certain, how
ever that the ex-Secretary of War was of
fered the Vice-Presidential crown, which
he, like Caesar, three times declined. None
of the statesmen, however, are willing to
make that admission. After his return
from Canton Senator Proctor declared
emphatically that he does not want the
e-Presidency, because it has always
been the custom to select the tail to the
kite from a doubtful State, and for that
reason he does not think Vermont is the
State from which the Vice-Presidential
candidate should be chosen.
In speaking of the issue OF the cam
paign he said that the tariff question will
remain predominant despite the promi-
nence that has been gwen the financial
question in some quarters. In discussing
the platform Senator Proctor said "The
Cuban affair and the Venezuelan question
cannot fail to make the foreign relations
plank one of the most important tim bers
in the platform, but am not in favor of
making them unduly prominent"
Senator Proctor does not look for the
withdrawal of any of the candidates now
in the field, and says at st. Louis their
friends will be ready and in a position to
retire them gracefully. The Mckinley
managers here assert that Senator Sher-
man will not write the financial plank oi
the platform, but they admit that it will
be submitted to him for suggestions.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June GA party
of nearly 100 Yale seniors to-day deted
the college authorities ana tore down the
staging erected to put in place the new
statue OF the late President Woolsey.
The faculty and corporation have voted
to put the new statue in front of the Yale
fence near Durfee Hall, virtually abolish
ing the play and general meeting and
frolic grounds of the seniors. 1t is known
that there was opposition to the site raised
in both the faculty and corporation, but
the dissenters were outvoted.
To-day the faculty put the staging in
place in order that the statue might be To-
Gated in time for an elaborate commence
ment dedication. The seniors tore the
staging down, hurled the boards together
and burned them, shouting defiance at the
faculty. There was no interference bv the
college authorities.
deputation from the class waited on
Dean Wright and informed him that If the
statue is put up it will be damaged. There
is much feeling on the matter at Yale.

DES MONIES, Iowa, June 6.-The dele
CATION that will represent Iowa at the
National Democratic Convention at Chi
cago met here to- day for organization and
conference. S. B. Evans of Ottumwa was
elected chairman and G. A. Walsh of
Ottumwa secretary of the delegation.
Governor Horace Boies, Iowa's candi-
date for President, was present at the
meeting to advise with the members, and
committees were appointed on literature
to prepare and circulate Boies' campaign
matter. A committee on finance was
named, and others necessary.
Boies made a brief address to the con-
ference, in which he expressed confidence
that if the Democracy would make the
financial the overshadowlng issue this
year and adopt brief platform un-
equivocally demanding free silver coin
age it would carry all the South and
West and Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
Mr.. Walsh, who will be the next Iowa
member of the National Democratic Com
mittee. agreed with these opinions. The
reports received by Mr.. Walsh, who has
been the leader and organizer of the silver
forces fn this State, from all over the
country, lead him to confidently believe
that Boies is almost as far in the lead Tor
the Democratic nomination to-day as Nc
Kinley for the Republican. He said he
found that the general confidence in Boies
as man of integrity, conservatism and
firm convictions was working to his ad-
vantage and rapidly forcing HIM into the
position of the leading candidate. He was
confident of Boies' nomination.
There was movement to elect a new
National committeeman at once, but there
were enough friends of j. j.. Richardson,
the present Der, to prevent this. 1t
was agreed that Mr.. Richardson, sound
money man, will be turned down at the
National Convention and Mr.. Walsh

Damage to the Railroads.
LINCOLN, NEBR., June 6. South
western Nebraska was visited by the most
disastrous storm for many years last
night. Loup City in Sherman County
suffered the most severely many build
ings being demolished and one or two
fatalities following. Telegraphic COM
munieation with that place is not vet
fully restored. The whole of Loup Valley,
accor ding to reports received at railroad
headquarters in Lincoln, was flooded for
miles. One report is to the effect that
foot of rain fell in Loup City. The four
year-old son of Section Foreman Mccoy
of the Burlington Raj lroad was drowned.
The railroad suffered heavily, over 1000
feet being washed out on the Burweli and
Arcadia branches of the Burlington.
The hail and rain came down in such
quantities that the fruit and crops are
seriously damaged in many places. It
hailed at Loup City for forty-five minutes,
some of the icy stones being seven inches
in circumference.

of not less than 5 to 1.
AT Atlanta (the home of Secretary
Smith) the gold men have practically con-
ceded the result. The largest primary
vote every cast in this county was polled,
and it is as yet impossible to estimate the
majority for silver, although returns from
the country precincts indicate a majority
of not less than 1000.

GAME WARDEN BUSY.
Prosecuting yiolators OF Game Law
Eamn IL schmidt Arrested,

Game law violators are again bobbing
up sereneiy. but are being met and prompt
~ prosecuted by Game Warden Boarman
and local sportsmen. These iufractors Of
the law do not seem to think that their acts
are being watched. but In this they are
mistaken. for the farmers and settlers in
remote districts are eyincing an interest
In The game laws. and people living In the
city and boarding AT restaurants and hotels
are also reporting the sale of game out OF
season.
There were two cases brought to the ct
tention of the authorities yesterday.

ant TO a customer.
The case OF young Swiffelhoffer was re-
ported to Game Warden Boarman by l.
j. Blakeney. rancher living near
Toughton- Blakeney stated that the young
man had been shooting game on numerous
occasions and eating II. The defendant
was taken before Justice McElwain yes
terday morning and pleaded guilty. He told
the court that he did not understand the
game laws and only shot the hooters for
food. He said his father was Ill and that
he and his mother and sisters had to run
the farm. The Judge read the young man =
lecture, and fined him Sc and costs
In the case of Hamm & Schmidt. the
warrant was sworn out by the game war
den and subscribed 20 by Z. W. tombstone,
who alleged that he bought a grouse at
the Butler for 50 cents. Hamm & Schmidt
claim that they bought the pheasants in
Oregon. but this avails them nothing, as
a recent decision OF the United States SUI
preme court declared the law prohib-
iting the sale or possession of game during
the close season, no matter where ac-
quired or bought, TO be constitutional.
With this decision. the game warden and
sportsmen generally feel that they have
the law on their side and can bring to time
and punish any offenders OF the game laws.

tic sportsmen in Washington. Is lending
