THE NEW SANTA FE ROAD How It Could Reach Sil-
 yer City, No Difficulty Experiences in Eastern Arizona. The Famous Deer Creek Coal Fields Could Be Tapped En
 Route.

No proposition is now so interesting to the people of Phoenix as that of a probable change of the route of the Santa Fe through Arizona. The line projected is from Victor, just north of Cajon pass in California, east to a crossing of the Colorado at Parker, sixty miles south of Needles, and thence straight to Congress station, where a junction would be effected with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix The line of the latter road would be used to Phoenix, as well as that road s survey to Tempe, Mesa and Florence. Thence the line would again strike eastward over a country little known to railroad exploration.
 It was in regard to this country east of Florence and especially east of Riverside on the Gila that The Repub- lican addressed a letter to a gentle man alike familiar with the region and with railroad engineering. His reply is as follows:
 "Your letter received, and in reply to your inquiry in relation to possible railroad route up the Gila from Flor ence to San Carlos and Solomonville, I can state that have been over every possible pass in the range through which the Gila flows, from the junction of the San Carlos river to the con- f1lence of the San Pedro and Gila at Dudleyville.
 There are no obstacles to overcome from Florence to San Pedro. It is only matter of cost from Dudleyville to San Carlos. A road can be built up the Gila through the box canyon, but I doubt if it would be considered from financial standpoint A route can be found from Dudleyville via the Deer Creek coal fields with little trouble, thence around the northern base of Mount Turnbull, striking the Gila in the vicinity of Camp Thomas. This would leave out San Carlos, as I don t think it possible to get a practicable grade from the coal fields to the agency direct. By retracing the line at the coal fields down Deer creek to the Gila, San Carlos can be reached with out trouble, as this course would strike the river above the box canyon and preclude the necessity of a series of bridges which would have to be con- structed in case the road went up the river. The route from Dudleyville would run over a gradually undulating country around the northwest base of Saddle mountain, striking Deer creek about eight miles from the coal beds. If ever a road is built through that country I predict San Carlos will be avoided and the direct route to Camp Thomas adopted.
 From Thomas to Silver City, New Mexico, is an easy engineering propo- sition, as there are few places and none difficult. No part of the pro- posed route would be as difficult and expensive at the Santa Fe road from Prescott to Skull Valley and no grad ing as heavy as that below Wicken- burg. I hope to see a road through that country some day as it would be of inestimable benefit to the great mining region of Graham county

UDdertakers Unable to Keep Up

DEsT1TUT1oN IN EAST ST LOUIS
Hundreds Who Escaped the Fury of
the Elements in Danger of
Starvation,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 30.-One hundred
and twenty-eight victims of Wednesdays
horror were laid to rest to-day in the ceme-
teries of this city and East st. Louis. The
total of interments would have been larger
but for the fact that the facilities o! the
undertaking establishments were made
euate to the sudden and pressing require
ments of the situation. Quite number
of these establishments were in one or an
other of the numerous paths made by the
tornado, and hearses. carriages and collins
by the score were reduced to kindling.
Hence the demands upon those of the
mortuarians whose plants were in order
were doubled, and as a result there was
more or less confusion and painful an
noyance.
No pretense was made of observing a
time schedule, and In many cases the be-
reaved relatives and mourners sat from
early morning until late in the day await
ing the com ing of the funeral equipages.
Hearses did treble and quadruple duty,
the hearses being driven at breaknecR
speed and returning to the devastated dis
tricts as rapidly as their loads had been
deposited at the door of the vault or by
the side of grave. In several instances a
single hearse bore three caskets. one con.
tanning the remains of an adult and the
others those of little ones.
At the graves the religious rites were
abbreviated and addresses of eulogy OF
coincidence were dispensed with. The in.
terments in this city were divided between

Fatal Panic Among Russian Peas
ants Who Assembled on the
Hodynsky Plain.
MOUJIKS MADE MAD BY FEAR CRUSHED THE
WEAKER IN THE STAMPEDE.
Hundreds Perished in the Only Calamity That Has
Attended the Brilliant Festivities Connected
With the Coronation of the Gar.

MOSCOW, RUSSIA, May 30.-A terrible
accident, resulting in the loss of large
number of lives, occurred here tod ay.
The popular fete of the coronation cere-
monies was held to-day on the Hodynsky
Plain, opposite the Petrofsky Palace, and
it is estimated that fully 500, 600 persons
attended. For days past the city has been
full of peasants from many parts of the
country, ali awaiting the free feast that
was given to-day. Many peasants had
walked long distances in order to be pres
ent, while others. more fortunate, had ar
rived in the city in vehicles of every de-
scription.
Expectation had reached the highest
point, for it was known that to-day fetes
would excel anything of the kind ever
given in connection with the coronation
of the Gear. Long before daylight the
crowds began pouring in the direction of
the plain, while at an early hour all sorts
of merry-making was INDUCED in. The
scene was one to be long remember
Great booths had been constructed on the
plain and from them were distributed free
food, free beer and also mugs as souvenirs
of the occasion.
This free feast, which has always been
the popular feature of coronations, has
hitherto been the occasion of a great deal
of crowding and good-natured fighting for
places on the part of the hundreds OF
thousands of guests in the city, but no
such gathering was ever witnessed on the
Hodynsky Plain, which has always been
the scene of popular entertainments end
ing coronations, as that which assem- bled
to-day. Everything progressed smoothly
until the distribution of the food and gifts
began.
Then the people in the rear began to
crowd forward. but the police and soldiers
checked them, and for a short time there
was comparative order. Soon, however,
the crowd in the rear again became impa-
tient and surged forward despite every
effort to hold them back. Barriers had
been erected in the vicinity of the booths
to prevent excessive crowding, and under
ordinary circumstances these would have
been sufficient for the purpose. The peo-
ple in front were swept against the bar
riers, where the enormous weight of the
surging mass in the rear was thrown di-
rectly against them.
Mad with pain and fright the people
who were crushed against the barriers
struggled to get away, but their attempts
were fruitless. Their shrieks were heard,
and this had the effect of further inciting
those in the rear to get forward. Sud
denly the barriers gave way, and with a
rush the immense throng swept forward.
Hundreds of men, women and children
were thrown down. and to stumble or fall
meant death or serious injury, but nc
power could check the crowd, many Of
whom were in condition of panic. The
authorities were helpless, and for a time
the scene baffied description.
Many persons were killed by being
crushed against the barriers before they
gave way, and great number met theil

P. NJ. two professions passed over Grace
avenue, the thoroughfare leading to the
graveyard of Saints Peter and Paul.
Denominational lines were closed up,
and there were times when the solemn
words of the committal service of Cath
olics and Episcopalians, Presbyterians and
Methodists Baptists and Congregational
lists, German Lutherans, Unitarians and
Universalists were being repeated in DIFF
ferent cemeteries at the same moment.
Each funeral had its concourse of mourn
ers, and many pathetic and heartrending
scenes were enacted as the mortal remains
of loved ones that but comparatively
few hours ago gave promise of long and
useful lives were lowered to rest.
A quarter of a million people visited the
scenes OF the disaster about aristocratic
Lafayette Park during the morning and
afternoon. At least q fifth of these were
strangers from points in Missouri and lIli-
nois, who had taken advantage of the Ma
tional holiday and the reduced railroad
rates to see for themselves the havoc that
the tornado had wrought.
The crowds were quiet, orderly and
laying or disorderly conduct called for
action on the part of the police authori-
ties. Furniture movers and general team
sters reaped a harvest in removing house
hold effects from the dismantled residences
in this section, $40, sis and in some cases
as high as $50 load being demanded and
paid without demur. In those poorer
parts of the city where the force of the
disaster had also been felt the willing
hearts and hands of the more fortunate
went out and were extended to their
stricken neighbors, and men, women and
children, sometimes at risk of limb and
life, aided in removing the humble con-
tents of tottering houses and tenements to
place OF safety.
The interments will be resumed to-
morrow, and by nightfail il is expected
that all of the identified dead will have
been laid to rest. The unrecognized bodies
will be held until Tuesday, when such dis
position will be made of those not claimed
as the Coroner may direct.
Three of the principal real estate deal
ers in this city tonight stated to the
United Press that they figured that tn,
actual real estate loss in st. Louis woulc
not exceed $l0,000000. The damage tc
household property, bric-a-brac, paint
ings, statuary, etc., WILL however, swell
this amount nearly $2,0oO,oO0 more Th
loss in shade trees and ornamental shrub
berry is beyond computation. Lafayett

death by being trampled upon. The cries
and shrieks of the injured could be heard
above the tumult of the crowd, and the
effect was heartrending.
Additional troops were called upon to
assist in quieting and dispensing the peo-
pie. This they finally succeeded in doing,
when every effort was made to succor the
injured. Cossacks were placed at the en-
frances of the 500 booths on the plain, and
into these. structures were carried the
bodies of the dead.
At the time of sending this dispatch
(4:5O P. ny it is impossible to say how
many persons were killed, but the repre-
sentative of the United Press, who was an
eyewitness of the whole affair, saw heaps
of bodies in the booths.
While the crush was most intense and
the curses, shrieks and howls of pain were
at their height, an unknown woman was
delivered of a child on the field. No at
tention was paid to them by the maddened
crowd and the mother and the infant were
trampled to death.
Every facility was given for the identi-
ficauon of the dead, but in most cases ii
was impossible to recognize them, SC
badly were they crushed and dishgured.
| A large mum Der of the dead were carried
away in ambulances and on fire trucks,
but many bodies are still in the booths.
1t is highly probable that many of the
victims who came from a distance will
never be identified. These bodies will be
| inferred by the Government. In fact, it
/ is believed that most of those who were
killed were mouiiks from the provinces.
| All the victims belonged to the peasant
class. The number of injured is very
large and it is thought many of them will
die. In some cases men had their arms,
legs and ribs broken, and several had = cir
skulls fractured by the heavy wooden
shoes of the peasants. Tie authorities
and members of the Russian Red Cross
Society are taking the best of care of the
injured.
The disaster has cast gloom over the
festivities, these being the first fatalities
that have occurred during the coronation
ceremonies.
The Gar and Czarina, when informed
of the extent of the disaster, expressed
profound sorrow, and the Car gsve orders
that everything should be done to ane-
viate the sufferings Of the injured.
The calamity was not due to any lack
of precaution on the part of the authori-
ties. but arose entirely from the eagerness
of the people to enjoy the hospitality of
the Czar.
The fete was held in the presence of the
Gar and a distinguished company of
guests. His Majesty, after visiting the
booths, the theater in which free perform
ances were given and the saloons, ap-
peared at $3.50 O'Clock IN large pavilion
