THE BLAME AT MOSCOW Fixed Upon the PrefeCt
 of Police. Lynching Is Attempted by the Enraged PopulaCe. Cossack Soldiers Siain by the Peo- ple-Drowned In Vats
 Of Beer.

MOSCOW, June Bye witnesses of the terrible and fatal crush on the Khodjnskoje plain last Saturday agree that M. Vlassovsky, prefect of police, is chiefly to blame for the disaster. He hufily refused military offers to con- trol the crowd, declaring that he knew his own business and that there was no need of any fear of accident. Pop ular feeling against Vlassovsky is in- tense and his name has become curse among the populace, who, armed with bottles and stones, would have lynched him the same day upon his arrival at the plain if he had not had his route lined with troops and himself strongly escorted.
 It appears during the crush number of Cossacks finding themselves sur rounded, freely used their whips on the crowd in order to force their way out. Three were torn from their sad dies and were killed and this led to the flight of the others.
 A number of peasants were drowned in vats of beer provided for the feast into which they plunged in order to secure the liquor.

NO GOLD PLATFORM.
Grosvenor Believes in a Compromise
 Money Plank.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Daily News Washington special says:
 General Grosvenor and other close friends of Mckinley have given strong intimation the last few days that the St. Louis platform will be a compro- mise on the money question. General Grosvenor believes unless some con- cession is made the silver sentiment Democrats may endanger Mckinley s election.
 When somebody suggested a strad- ding platform would alienate the gold men, Grosvenor naively remarked: They will have no place to go. The Democrats will nominate a 16 to 1 candidate and Mckinley will come nearer representing bimetallism than any other nominee in the field"
 Grosvenor makes no concealment of the belief the St. Louis convention should not declare for a gold standard

IN CONGRESS.
Morgan Has Some Strong Views on the
 Competitor Capture.


 WASHINGTON, June j5.-In the sen ate amendment to the joint resolution for the reorganization of the Northern Pacific were offered by Senators Mitch ell and Nelson providing that the new company shall be liable on the land treaties of the old company, also for injuries to persons and properties.
 Senator Morgan asked for action on his resolution requesting the president for information as to the capture of the Competitor by Spanish warship and to the condemnation to death of United States citizens, whether any de- mand had been made for the release of the citizens. The senator said that while the case was one of great gray ity, involving the upwarranted con- demnation to death of American citi- zens, yet no information except through press reports and rumors had been received. The executive branch had not given the slightest informa- tion on the subject. ''In the event that these American prisoners are not re- leased and delivered to the president, D concluded Senator Morgan, i've should authorize him to send ships of war to Cuba and make war sufficient to se- cure their release"
 As Senator Morgan closed, Senator Sherman stated that the proceedings were of such character as to come within the senate rule No 35, requir- ing secrecy. Thereupon Presiding Officer Platt directed the galleries to be cleared and the doors closed
 The discussion in the senate behind closed doors today was devoted to the Cuban question, the greater part of the time being consumed by Senator Nor gan in continuation of his speech in the open session.
 Senators Sherman and Lodge spoke of their conference with the president. They expressed the opinion the presi- dent was using all due vigilance in the protection of the rights of American citizens and said that while it might be well for congress to put forth it's opinion on the Cuban question in the shape of joint resolution, there was little probability of getting the resolu- tion through without prolonged de- bate, which in view of a desire for an early adjournment could not be had.
 The Morgan resolution went to cal endar.
 The proposed compromise has been offered in conference on the sectarian school and Indian appropriation bill. It provides that the appropriation for such schools shall extend to the next fiscal year instead of for the next wo fiscal years. It is thought the senate will accept the compromise, In the house the question is doubtful

LOVING COUPLES TROUBLE.
How Swiftly and His "GaP' Came tt
 Occupy County Prison Cells.

Several days. eago R. J. Holmes lost his pocketbook on Washington street, near the National Bank of Arizona. A passerby about that time saw Swiftly the colored pugilist, stoop and pick up something from the sidewalk. The purse contained s70. Upon the com plaint of the owner Swiftly was arrest ed. Upon him were found two $20 bills, of which denomination there had been three in the purse. Then a visit was made to the residence of Julia Rice, saddle-colored damsel, with whom the negro had been on terms of exceeding intimacy. She also was found to have more cash on hand than is usually the case with her class and in stove in the corner was found Holmes purse. An attempt had been made to burn it, but it had only charred. In it was yet railway ticket to Cottonwood and receipt made out in the name of Holmes.
 The couple were examined yesterday by Justice Johnstone on charges Of grand larceny. Decision was suspend ed on Swifty's case after hearing while the woman's case was brought up. She was held over for the next grand jury in $500 bonds. Swiftly will be given his medicine this morning.
 An entertaining feature Of the case was furnished yesterday morning at the county jail. Swiftly called a jailor to the bars and asked if he would have one of the colored boys deliver a note for him. The reply being reassuring, note was handed over addressed to the Rice woman, whom he called his gal" When the jailor informed him that his "gal' occupied cell not thirty feet from him Swiftly collapsed and begged for the return of the note. This, of course, was refused. When the epistle was opened in the sheriff s office it was found to be a wild and violently misspelled command to fly to Denver, as all had been discovered and her freedom might be endangered Luce no time" was urgently under scored.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 5.-Mrs. Clara Crowley of this city believes Rev. Francis Hermans, the Salt Lake mur- derer, is responsible for the death of one sister and the disappearance and probable death of another.
 Bertha Wagner, his first wife, died of the grip, the malady being aggra- vated by Hermans' effort to have her declared insane. He then attempted to marry Caroline, her sister, and all though utterly repugnant to her, had great influence over her. She has not been seen since the spring of 1892.

INDIANS IN HIGH FETTLE.
Government Distributing Annuities
to Those at White Earth


w. F. Campbell, a full-blooded Chip
pewa Indian. who has come to be a
well known practicing attorney. came
down yesterday to ST. Paul from his
home at the White Earth reservation
Mr.. Campbell is on private business,
but brings news that the Chippewas
are in high feetle, owing to the fact
that the government representatives
are distributing the annuities to the
various tribes in this section. Already
$50, 600 has been handed out to the
White Earth redskins, less one-quarter,
held back for the school fund. The
Indians made vigorous objection to
this reduction in their allowance, but
were finally persuaded that it was best
for them, and it went through. The
Indians at Leech Lake, Pine Point and
Red Lake are included in the dfstribu-
ton, as well as the Mile Laos bucks
who will be given the first payment In
seven years, amounting to something
like $4,000, or about $40 per capita.
For the first time since Lo voted in
Minnesota, he went Republican, and
gave majority for Mckinley, sound
money, Clough and Eddy.
There is much dissatisfaction, Mr.
Campbell says, among the Chippewas,
especially at the Red Lake reservation,
over the sale to settlers of considerable
valuable pine land which has been dis
posed Of as agricultural land at $1.25
per acre. The land which has been SO
sold has been appraised by the
government as agricultural land,
while the Indians claim that
in many instances quarter Sec
ttons contain vast quantities of rich
white pine. An effort is being made
to have the government cancel such
entries so that the Indians may re-
ceive something like an adequate re-
turn for their holdings
