to feed this great multitude and 500, 900 mugs
each bearing the portraits of the Gar and

The banquet was to have commenced lust

sheds where the food and mugs were TO be dis
tributed, that the attendants were overpowered
in the mad rush. The rOlice made every effort
to control the crowd, but not before troops and
iremen arrived could anything be done Then
the dead were gathered up aud the wounded
carried 10 the hospitals. An official notice
issued by the Government gives the number
of dead AS l, l3s The Car has ordered that
1000 roubles be given TO each bereaved family
and the dead be buried at his expense. dis.

The financial loss sustained by the city of St.

$5,000,000 to $50 900. 900, but n very couserva-
