MOSCOW, June 1.-The burial of the
victims OF the disaster on KhOdijsnkoje
plain progressed all night long and is
stlll being proceeded with amid scenes
os poignant grief. Only mourners are
admitted to the cemetery.
There were 1,277 victims buried to-
day. The bodies of those who were iden-
tilted and claimed by relatives were in
TERED in private graves, but at the ex-
pense OF the municipality. The great
number of the unidentified dead were
buried in eleven great trenches, each
fifty yards long. The trenches were
deep, and the mutllated bodies had TO
be placed close together 60 find room
for all.
There were six hundred workmen en-
gagged all night long at the VaganoVs-
koe cemetery digging the trenches;
Many priests, prominent among them
being John OF CrOnstadt, famous TOT
his piety and his power to console, and
It is believed by the peasants, to heal,
and many military chapalns conducted
the funeral services, the friends
orowdlng around the graves, The sur
vivlng friends and relatives are for the
IIlOSL part VI AlAG ABAlbAttAAs e+ttA sfAa@-
minded peasant class, and their grlet
and terror at the sudden calamity are
expressed In very demOnstratlve fash
ion, The scenes at the cemetery were
pitIful and terrible In the extreme.
ONLY about half the bodies recovered
have been Identified and the majority OF
these are men, though there are many
children and several old people, eighty
yenrS old.
Most Of the private graves OF the
victims have been marked to-day with
wooden crosses, placed there by rela-
tiyes, and Inscribed with texts OF scrip
ture. The people also strewed twigs
among the graves.
The clothes OF the victims were heap
ed In huge pile in one corner OF the
cemetery and In this the people rum
aged all day seeking the slightest trace
that would afford a clue to the tate Oh
those missing. The bedraggled, torn,
llood-stained heap of confused tatters,
thrown all together, afforded little ma
terIal- for Identification, even II It had
been systematically sorted out and the
appearance OF the pieces preserved, But
after being pulled over a few times by
the crowd OF searchers, there was no
senbl1nee 10 the original appearance
Of the garments left.
The survivors have the vaguest poss-
ible idea OF what happened to them OF
how they escaped. They only renem-
ber n terrible struggle In the vortex OF
conflicting human muscular energy.
Many OF them ascribe theIr escape as
direct miracle. il Is touching to witness
how these poor ignorant people help
to console each other, 20 dress the dead
and to care for the children.
This evening the cZar gave banquet
10 the representatives of all the estates
I'm his realm. The foreign represents
tlves were also present. In the after
noon he and the czarina visited the
Marie hospital, where they spoke to and
consoled the patients injured In Satur-
days crush.
