CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

Washington. June 5.-The resolution
offered last Wednesday by Mr.. Morgan,
dem, Alabama, in relation TO United
States citizens captured on the Ameri-
can vessel Competitor. in Cuban waters,
and sentenced to death or imprison-
ment, was laid before the senate and
Mr.. Morgan made an argument in sup
port OF the resolution.
Mr.. Morgan aid that congress should
not adjourn without learning the facts
of the Competitor matter from the
president, and without authorizing the
president to send out ships of war TO
cuba to demand and secure the release
Of American citizens. AT the close OF
Mr.. Morgan's speech Mr.. Sherman said
that the subject was one which should
not be debated in public and he moved
that the galleries be cleared. That mo-
ton was agreed 10, the galleries were
cleared and the doors closed and the de-
oa'e vas continued in secret session.
N doors were reOpened at 1905 and
an effort was made by Mr.. Lodge. rep.
Massachusetts. to have the immigra-
ton bill taken up. but 1t was evident
that the Cuban question had not been
definitely settled in the secret session.
for there was a motion made to allow
Mr.. Morgan to continue his remarks.
That motion again provoked a demand
10 have the galleries cleared and the
doors closed. The demand was enfor-
ced and the senate again went into Sc
cfot session.
In secret session. the Morgan resolu-
ton was ordered II be placed on the
calendar, so that Il canno be taken up
again unless a majority Of the senate
shall vote To take ii up.
After the doors were opened for the
second time the immigration bill was
taken up. Mr.. Lodge having stipulated
that he would not ask for a vote on the
bin before Monday next.

aNSs
Moscow, June bye witnesses Of
the terrible am fatal crush on the
Kh~odijinskjoe plain last Saturday agree
that NJ. V~lassovsky, project of police, Is
chiefly to blame for the disaster. He
hufily refused military offers Of troops
to control the crowd, declaring hat he
knew his W business, and that there
was no need OF any fear of an accident.
Popular feeling against Vl~assovsky Is
intense, and his name has become q
curse among the p~opulace, who. armed
with bottles and stones, would have
lynched him the am day upon his ar
rival at the plain II he had not had his
route lined with troop and himself
strongly escorted. Ii appear that dur
ing the crush a number OF ~cossacks,
finding themselves surrounded, freely
used their whips upon the crowd In or
der TO force their way out. Three were
torn from their saddles and were killed,
and his led to the flight Of the others.

That Secret Session.

Washington, June 5.-In the secret
session In the senate this afternoon,
Senator Morgan appealed to the senate
to pass his resolution looking to the bel
ligerency Of the insurgents and to take
such steps as would protect American
citizens on that island. During the
course of the discussion. Senator's Sher-
man and Lodge, who had waited upon
the president as a subcommittee of the
committee on foreign relations, in
formed the senate that the only question
now was the protection Of American cit
liens. Without stating what the pres
ldent a to say. they both agreed that
that matter should be left in the hands
Of the president. especially I'm view Of
the lateness Of the hour and the impos-
sibility of framing legislation between
o and adjournment. When congress
again met would be ample time, they
said, to take up the subject.
