than today. Only Il few arrests have been
made, and these were for minor offences.
There has been little disorder in East st.

Coronation Fete in Moscow Be-
came Awful Tragedy.
I, ,13S Russians Lost Lives - Made
Mad Rush For Free Food.

MOSCOW, Russia, May 3l-The city has
not recovered from the shock occasloncd 10y
the lriShttul calamity that occurred yester-
uhN ON the llOdynsky plain during the prog
rtsS of the free feast and entertainment in
connection with the coronation ceremonies.
This free feast, which has alway. been the
popular feature II coronatons has hitherto
been the occasion of Il great deal of crowd
ing and good nlturcd fighting for places on
the part of the hundreds of thousands OF
guests of the city, hut no such gathering
was ever witnessed on the llodynsky plain
as that which assembled yesterday.
The crowds, which began coming long
before daylight. finally became SO dense
and 80 eager to obtain access to the free
food and beer and the free amusemrnts that
they could not be controlled. Men. women
and children were thrown down and tram
pied upon. and many others had their lives
crushed out of them by the fearful pressure
OF the vast crowd.
The feast was held in the presence OF the
ear and distinguished company of guests.
who occupied seats in Il large pavilion rs-
pecially erected and elaboratcly decorated
for the occasion.
The stampede of the great multitude was
a sight never TO be forgotten for its horror.
After the crowd had been dispersed by the
police and military, the street WAS found
strewn with the dead, killed by being
trdtnpleu upon or ny sun OcaliOn.
A great number of children were among
the victims. In the wild rush of the fren-
Zed crowd they We're swept away from
their parents or others having charge of
them. and their puny sire, 9Th availed them
naught when pitted against the irresistible
force of the surging mob. The instant they
stumbled and fell life was crushed out of
them
But this was also the case with many
adults. No human strength could with
stand the mad rush Of the crowd, and safety
to be- carried forward and back in the pUsat-
ing crowd, devoting every energy TO keep
ing upon ones feet
The officials made every effort and offered
every facility for the Identification of the
dead, but the bodies in hundreds of insan
crs are utterly unrecogniZable, the faces
having been literally crushed out of all SEM
blance to humanity. A careful search is
made Of each body for papers to establish
lis identity, and II record is made of the
clothing on each corpse for the same pur-
pose.
1t was officially announced this morning
that the total number of victims was l,l3S.
Most of them were Nloujiks from the prov
inces, poor class of people, but among the
number were many of the poverty stricken
residents of Moscow and villages in the
neiShborhoOd of the city. The fete was
particularly for the benefit of this class OF
people, and the middle class generally held
alOof from the entertainment, or else visited
the plain in the capacity of spectators.

VASSAR'S AUCTION.
The Girls sell their Finery to Pay
Graduation Expenses.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, May 3l-The
oddest kind Of an auction took place at Vas
sar college last night. 1t has become an an
nual custom of the seniors, toward the close
of the year, to sell their personal belongings
in order to raise money to pay the expenses
of graduation.
This was what attracted the rank and file
ofthe undergraduates last night The sale
had been announced by young women in
Moorish costumes, who perambulated the
halls ringing dinner bells and carrying ban
ners advertising the sale.
The seniors took turns acting as anctioh-
eer, and the way they ratified off the bric-a-
brac. drapercs. etc, was caution. Auto
graphs of celebrities found the realieSt sale.
Miss T.Terry paid 81 for an autograph letter
from Grover Cleveland. Miss Alice Howland
paid 81 for Joe Jelferson's autograph.
Miss Helen Hackcnbursh paid - for that
of John Drew, and the autographs OF John
Burroughs, Senators Sherman. Allison and
German brought from 22.25to T215 apiece.
During the exercises of the class of '9S last
night. Miss Bertha Jornagan of Tennessee,
who has been elected class president re-
ceived a great ovation. Amid cheers she
was carried around on the shoulders of her
classmates. They would not put her down
