Side OF the Recent Russian Celebration.
New YORK, June 1.-COI. Ingersoll
has given out for publication a few
thoughts upon the recent coronation
as follows: "While reading the &C
counts of the coronation Of the car, Of
the pagents, PROFESSIONS aud fessts, Of
the pOmp and parade. Of the barbaric
splendOr Of cloth, gold and glittering
gems, I could not help thinking Of the
poor and melancholy peasants, of the
toiling, half fed millions, Of the sad and
ignorant multitudes who belong soul
and body to the car, I thought of the
backs that have been SCARED by the
knout, of the thousands in prisons for
having dared to say a whispered word
for freedom, of the great multitude
who have been driven like cattle along
the weary road that leads to the hell Of
Siberia. The cannon at Moscow we're
not loud enough, nor the elang of the
bells, nor the blare of the trumpets,
to drown the groans Of the captiVes. I
thought of the fathers that had been
torn from wives and children for the
crime of speaking like men. When I
read of the coronation Of the cSsrina, I
thought of Siberia, / thought of girls
working in the mines, hauling ore from
the pits with chains about their waists.
It is not true that God selected this
car to rule and rob a hundred million
Of human beings. It is all an ignorant,
barbaric, superstitious lie, lie that
pomp and pageant and Haunting flags
and robed priests and swinging Censers|
cannot change to truth"

Lavigne the Victor.

LONDON, June 2.-"Kid" Layigne
fought "Dick" BuFge last night before
the National Sporting club for the in
ternational lightweight championship
of the world, a purse of $500 and &
side purse Of 5000. LaVigne won in Is
rounds. The fight was to be limited to
20 rounds. Burge was a strong fav-
orite, and his friends were willing to
lay odds of two to one on him to any
amount. As a matter of fact fancy
bets we're laid in many instances at
much greater odds.

TOPEKA, Kan, Kan, June John
". Brsidenthal, chairman of the popu-
list state committee, said that a deal
was on looking to a complete fusion
between the democrats and pOpulists
in the presidential contest. HIf the
democrats at Chicago name such q man
as Bland on a free silver platform" he
said, Il think it very certain that 3
combination between that party and
the pOpulists viii be formed at st.
Louis which viii elect the next presid-
ent. The populists viii not give up
their name aud organization, for such
8 surrender would not be tolerated By
the peoples party men at all. We viii
nominate q candidate for president,
bat the two parties can support the
same set Of electors and in that way
carry every state vest Of the Missis-
sippl river and a number Of states
least Of it."

and his sterling honesty and manhood
will bring him many outside votes.

The three conventions brought to-
gether q great many delegates from all
over the Sixth district and there was a
noticeable groundsWeH of sentiment
and enthusiasm that means victory at
the coming election. Every county re-
ports new recruits from the ranks Of
the old parties, being drawn to the
new from a conviction that the reforms
SO badly needed by the masses will
never be accomplished through the
agency of old parties, which are con-
trOlled by the agents of monopoly and
wealth. The terrible depreciation in
agricultural values and the wages of
the industrial classes can be accounted
for in the main only by the workings
of the European money system now in
vogue in the United States. Only
through a new party can this system
be set aside and return to bimetallism
be accomplished. The people are find
ing this out and election day will prove
they have cast their votes in accord
ance with their conclusions.

HAD PhHIG At THE FEAST.
A Terrible Disaster Mars the Coronation
Fstes at Moscow.
At the Cars Free Feast Over :, 1000 People
lose Their Lives in the Mad Rush
for Food.

Moscow, June la terrible panic,
resulting from the great crush Of peo-
pie at the popular feast here Saturday
in honor of the coronation of the car,
caused the trampling to death Of
thousands of people. In anticipation
of the grand holiday and popular ban
quet on the HOdynsky plain, tens of
thousands Of people began trooping
toward the PetrOvsky palace, in front
of which the plain is situated, during
the earliest hours Saturday. It was at
first arranged to accommodate 100000
people, but in view of the immense
crowds assembled in and about the
city at the coronation fete, extra tables
and benches were hastily erected and
every effort was made to provide seat
ing room and a hearty meal for 10000
people. By dawn the mass Of peasants
about the tables was really en-
oFmous, and they we're ali des-
perately hungry, some of them
having tasted, by choice or necessity,
for nearly "a hours. The police did
everything possible to keep back the
crowd, but suddenly the masses, con-
trOlled by some inexplieable impulse,
or impatient to get at the food, pressed
forward, swept everything before them,
and overturned tables and benches as
if made Of grass, trampling hundreds
underfoot and crushing the life out of
a great number of people. The police
barracks, TO which the bodies Of the
dead were taken by the authorities, are
besieged with persons beseeching for
news of friends and relatives. The
scenes at the barracks where the pro-
cess Of Identification is going on are
terrible in the extreme.
1t is said the fatalities will amount
to between 1000 and 5000, but it is i'm
possible as yet to learn exactly the
extent of the disaster. An official
statement yesterday placed the num-
Der of dead recovered at 1886 and the
seriously or fatally injured at 286'
But, in contrast with this official state
ment, there were /, 2S2 cOrpses lying at
the cemetery, besides the many dead
and dying that are known to have been
removed from the Inflated field by
friends.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Senstor W. G.
Squire, chairman Of the committee ap-
pointed by the senate to examine the
coast defenses at New York, said to-day
that the committee had about compile
ted it's work and would submit its re-
port before congress adjourned. lie
said that in substance the report would
be to the effect that the defenses Of
New York harbor are utterly made
quate to repel sn enemy.
"The defenses are to-day better-as
they should be-than those Of any port
in the United States, said Ar Squire.
"Yet these defences are entirely below
what is necessary to give any kind Of
defense against a foe. What we nesd
to properly defend New York is SO high
power long range guns of eight. ten and
twelve inches, and in addition to these
We need 176 12-inch steel rifle moFtars
and % rapid fire guns"

VETOES THE HBRB(R BILL.
Says it Is Extrsvagsnt sad Would Impose
an Outlay Of es0,OOO,0OO.
Says That Many Objects Of the Bill Are
PalpabIy for the benefit of Private
individuals.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The president
to-day sent to the house a message
Vetoing the river and haFbor appropri-
alton bill. In his measure the presid-
emit says the bill comtemplates the i'm
mediate expenditure of about s17,OOO,-
600 and continues: "a more startling
feature of this bill is its authorization
of contracts for river and harbor work
amounting to more than 100000.
Though the payments on these con-
tracts are in most cases so distributed
that they are TO be met by future ap
preparations more than 100000 Of
the amount is to be included in pres
emit appropriations. Nearly 100000
will fall due during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1898, and amounts some
what less in the years Immediately
succeeding. A few contracts Of a like
character authorized under previous
statutes are still outstanding and to
meet payments on these more than
100000 must be appropriated in the
immediate future.
"If, therefore, this.bilI becomes a law,
the obligations which viii be imposed
on the government together with the
appropriations made for expenditures
on account of rivers and harbors will
amount TO above sS0,00G,OOO.
"Nor is this ali. The bill directs
numerous surVets and examinations
which contemplate work and contracts,
and which pOrtend largely increased
expenditures. In view of the obliga-
ton imposed upon me by the cOnsti-
tuition, it seems TO me quite clear that
I only discharge a duty to our people
when I interpose my disapprOvsl of
the legislation proposed.
"Many of the objects for which it ap-
propriates public money are not re-
lated to the public welfare, and many
of them are palpably for the benefit Of
limited localities or in the aid of indi-
viduRl interests.
81 learn from official sources that
there are appropriations contained in
the bill to complete work which private
parties have actually agreed with this
government to do in consideration Of
their occupancy of public property"

TAMPA, Fla, June 2.-PriYate advices
from Cuba announce that yellow fever
is raging there. Recently train from
Mantanzas brought into Havana from
one battalion 60 men afflicted with the

assertions, is reducing the Spanish for
Ces greatly. Ninety soldiers from the

Angelina, daughter Of Chief sestSls,

to make her out over 100 years old, but
this is an error, for the best posted

"For a government with three CO.
ordinate departments, of which We
boast, we are making a strange and
rapid movement toward re-establish-
ing the royal perogative in the hands
Of our executive as an uncomfortable
power. If any British constitutional
power was destroyed in America by
the revolution Of 1776, it was the preo-
gstiye of the crown. If the president,
acting alone, can substitute the entire
body Of the laws Of war for the laws Of
peace which now govern our relations
with Cuba, and if he can make this
total revolution Of our legal status. as
citizens and as a nation, binding upon
US by this, his proclamation, it is in
vain that We abolish the royal preroga-
tive in our federal constitution. If the
president, without the concurrence of
congress, should proclaim that war ex-
listed in Cuba, and that the United
Ssates assumes the attitude Of a neut-
ral power toward the recognized bel
ligersnts under the laws Of nations, be

gerous character"

President Cleveland Endorsed for Ali But
His Financial Vlews-SiIver Rules
Supreme.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 3-When the de-
mOcratic state convention was called
to order this afternoon by Chairman
Frank Bacon, their might have been
some doubt as to whether Kansas was
to send a goldite or silverite delegation
to Chicago, but after the first decisive
vote it was seen that the silver men had
an overwhelming majority.
John D. McClevegty, of Fort Scott,
was elected permanent chairman, and
W. II, PeppereIl, of Concordia, and
George Pitts, Of Wellington, were
chosen as permanent secretaries. The
relative strength Of the two factions
we're, silver men. 338; gold men, ll8.
This majority precludes anything but
silver delegates being sent to the Chi
cagO convention.
Following we're the resolutions ad-
opted by the convention:
Resolved, That we commend President Cleve-
land for the gallant fight he has made for tariff
REFORM for his statesmanlike vindication Of the
Monroe doctrine, for his stern demand for JUS
tice and the faithful observance Of treaties with
Spain in defense Of American citizens unjustly
imprisoned in Cuba and for his distinguished
service in the interest Of economical administra-
ton, and we give voice to this communication
more freely because we are compelled in the
interest Of true democratic doctrine to differ
totally and radically from him on the allah
sOrbing question of finances and to emphasize
this difference and to declare Enthusiastically our
unalteFable convictions on the subject, be it
further
Resolved, That we demand the free and IN
limited coinage of both silver and gold, at the
ratio of sixteen to one, without awaiting the
action Of any other government or people, as we
believe this country is large enough to establish
and maintain its own financial system.
Resolved, That the delegates to the Chicago
convention appointed and confirmed by this
convention, are hereby instructed to faithfully
carry out the foregoing coinage resolutions,
both in letter and spirit, and to demand and
insist that said resolution, or one in all respects
equivalent thereto, b incorporated in tbs ma.
tiOnsI platform, and that said delegates be
further instructed to vote for 10 man for pre-.
sident or vice president whose history and past
public record do not give full assurance that he
is in entire harmony herewith, and to vote as
unit on all questions arising in said national
convention.

HOW TO VOTE TODAY.

The drainage election to-day should
an interest in the welfare Of the city.
Tt is simple proposition that is to be
passed upon. The sum of $4,000 is
necessary to make a permanent drain
way on street to carry storm waters
and to relate present drains at Sew
enteenth and Sixth streets to the new
drain, and to establish an adequate
pumping plant at the foot of S street to
lift from a sump to be there sunk.
1t will cost two-thirds of that sum
to temporarily provide for clearing the
south section of the city of water the
coming winter, provided that it is pos
sible to do it at all without a drainway
such as is now contemplated to inter-
cept the food waters and collect them
and keep them from overf1owing the low
land lots beyond r street. And what
then? We will have spent over S4O,-
900 and have nothing whatever to
show for it when the spring opens, and
asked for to make a permanent drain
way. Which is wiser? Which the
more economic? To make the per-
nanent drainway now or attempt to get
along with patchwork?
A two-thirds vote Is required to JUS
tify the outlay on which the people are
TO vote. 1t is therefore of first i'm
portance that every friend of the prop
osition go to the polls and vote and
urge all his friends to do the same. Let
US see how much interest the voters of
Sacramento feel in their beautiful city
and the economic conduct of its af-
fairs. 1t will be manifest by the total
vote to-day cast.
