Moscow, Russia, May 19.-Rain descended
upon Russia's ancient capital, and all the

decked, seriously marring the Inauguration
of the unparalleled fetes in honor of the cor

yesterday, as they end, with birthday. yes
terday being the anniversary OF the birth OF
tho Gar, and June being that OF the
Czarina.
Long before their Majesties' arrival regi-
ments Of soldiers were massed about the
Smolensky station, which Is just without
the ramparts on the long Tver street, to
which the imperial train was diverted from
tho main line at the first station just outside
Moscow. Enormous crowds OF people had
gathered near the station and gave the I'M
perial couple an enthusiastic reception.
The Grand Duke Sergius, Governor.Gen-
eral OF Moscow, met the imperial train at
those who possessed tickets were admitted
to the station, but these we're very numer-
Gus. The platform was covered with red
cloth and ornamented with plants and hoW-
ers, large, spreading palms forming an arch
at the entrance to the royal apartments,
which every station OF importance in Russia
contains.
On the platform were the Minister OF War,
q number of generals and aides-de-camp.

princes and the Grand Duke Vladimir.
The guard or honor was composed OF de.
tachment of cuirassiers, headed by the royal
standard and the cuirassier band, command
ed by full complement of cuirassier officers.
Horse guards and dragoon guards were
also waiting outside the station to accom-
pany the royal party to the Petronsky
Palace.
At $50 o'clock the imperial train steamed
slowly into the station. This special train,
which the Gear had made for himself lately,
Is fitted up with every luxury and has elec.

doors are made Of inlaid wood. The train

apartments. The Gar was received on the
platform by the Grand Duke Vladimir. the
commander OF all the troops present in the
city, and after a moments conversation
the imperial party walked through the
double line Of princes and generals to the
beautifully decorated rooms. Shortly AFTER
this the Emperor and Empress appeared at
the outside door and entered an open car
rage with the Governor-General.
The appearance Of their Majesties was the
signal for prolonged hurrahs from the people
gathered outside, led off by the long roar OF
soldiery. The cuirassier band played to Ma
tional anthem, and surrounded by the cuir-
assier guard, the carriage was driven on to
the palace. Great enthusiasm was manifest

thickly massed people along the sides OF the

The sound money men had the majority in
the First and Second Districts, and the con-
vention was harmonious on the one point
that they should be allowed to name the
delegates from these districts, the silver men
taking the delegates from the other nine dis
tricts, and naming Horace Boies, s. B.
Evans, W. A. Wells and Louis Geaung as
delegates-at-large.
Temporary Chairman Wright's speech in
favor OF sound money provoked demon
stration from the gold men. Cheers followed
the mention Of Boles's name. When he ap-
peared to address the convention they were
sullen and silent, while the silver men al
most raised the roof.
The resolution favoring free coinage at the
ratio OF 16 to provoked the bttterest fight
ing of the day, but it was finally passed.
The delegates are instructed to vote as
unit, and the resolutions declare that 1t Is
''the bounden duty Of every patriot in Iowa,
without regard to former party affiliations,
to use all honorable means to secure the
nomination at Chicago Of Ex-Governor Botes
for President, to the end that principles of
Jeffersonian Democracy be preserved and
promoted and liberty and prosperity be re-
sorted to the great body OF the American
people,"

tanning a sound-money plank. It was de.
feated by vote Of 6171S to 21G1S.

TllLMAN IN CONTROL.
The South Carolina Democrats Declared
for Free Silver.

COLUMBIA. S. c.. May 21.-The South
Carolina Democratic Convention, which met
yesterday, was thoroughly anti-Cleveland
and for free silver. The platform was pre-
pared by Senator Tilman and was practically
Unanimously adopted. The money plank says
"We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio Of IS to / re-
gardless OF the action Of any and all Nations.
And such coinage should be a legal tender
for all debts, public and private. Therefore,
we demand that the National banking sys-
tenn be abolished"
The platform, as reported, denounces the
Cleveland Administration. The present Su-
preme Court system is said to be dangerous
and constitutional convention Is demanded
to meet the changed condition and growth
Of the country. There is plank against
monopolies and trust. The platform also de-
mands the enlargement Of the power Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
A minority report. signed bytwo members,
pledged allegiance to the National party and
nominees, and demanded the repeal Of the

VENEZUELA WILL PAY UP.

But She Stoutly Refuses to Apologize to
England.
The Venezuelan Government has agreed to
pay the S75O0 demanded by Great Britain for
the Yuruan incident (the arrest and impri-
sonment Of a British police of1cer) on con-
dition that 1t is considered simply as in
demn1ty for personal damages, and not as
affecting the boundary dispute.
The Government, however, has not con-
sented to make q public apology to Great
Britain as prerequisite to the resumption
of diplomatic relations, although It Is under
stood that the United States, In carrying out
its friendly purpose as an adviser Of Venez-
uela, counseled that this condition should be
complied with, In accordance with the terms
of the British demand.

Long and sensational details of the mas

entirely eclipsing the butchery at Sassoon.
It is estimated that 5000 persons were
killed at Urfa, of which number nearly 5000
peished while seeking refuge in the cathe-
dral, which was set on fire by the Turks. 1t
appears that the affair was deliberately
planned and was effected with the conniv-
ance of tho officials. who were acting under
orders from Copstantinople.
