Arbitration conference showed a gen.

and the means of obtaining it there was
wide difference of opinion. At the

THE MOSCOW HORROR
Conceited Chief OF Police Must Rear the
Blame

MOSCOW. June Aye 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
huffily refused military offers of troops
to control the crowd. declaring that he
knew his own business and that there
was no mead of any fear of an accident.
Popular feeling against Vlassovsky is
intense and his name has become a
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 guarded.
1t appears that during the crush a
number of Cossacks, finding themselves
surrounded, freely used their whips on
the crowd. in order to force their way
out. Three We're torn from their sad
dies and We're killed and this led to the
hight of the others a number of peas
ants were drowned in the watts of beer
provided for the feast, into which they
plunged in order to secure the liquor.

IN COMMITTEE
Silver ASSAYS to Be Provided for-Bond Bill
Report

Report
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The final
agreement of the conferees of the two
houses upon the general deficiency bill,
which was reached today, includes that
provision for the assaying and stamp
ing of silver and other ores imported
into this country for which Senator Du-
bois has been contending for many
years. The amendment was inserted by
the senate at Mr.. Dubois instance, and
it provides for the equipment Of the
necessary works at Ell Paso Tex ;
Northport. WASH, and Bonners Ferry,
Idaho The secretary of the treasury
is authorized either to purchase lands
and to construct buildings or to pur-
chase buildings already erected at these
points for the purpose of making th,.
assays required. The amendment re-
quires that in no case shall less guam
tity than onefifth of any importation Of
ore be subjected to the sampling pro-
cess.
The ways and means committee has
not decided upon program for the bond
resolution in the house. In view of the
nearness of the sessions end and the
press of important measures it is yery
doubtful whether the bill will be called
up, as it can be brought forward only by
a special order from the committee on
rules. Chairman Dingley's report.
which will be presented to the house to-
morrow, holds that the issuing power is
necessary to preserve the parity of the
different kinds of money. 1t upholds
the act authorizing the issue of bonds as
a Republican measure. Incidentally the
secretary of the treasury is authorized
to use the proceeds of the bond issues
for the current expenses of the govern
ment to cover the inability of the Wilson
tariff Vact to provide sufficient revenue.
The senate is also criticised for failure to
pass the Dingley revenue bill passed by
the house.

senate bond resolution has been pre-
pared by Representative Wheeler, Dem

The prospect Of rise in the price of sill

terests in this valuable property. The
mine which is situated about two miles
below Metcalf's ranch on Mangas creek,
was steady producer for several years,
but was shut down on account of the de-
| probation in value of the white metal

The Silver City reduction works are
! running steadily, and successfully treat
ing all ores offered. This home market
for ores in small quantities gives the
miner who wants to develop his claim an
opportunity to get spot cash for any
quantity of ore be may have for sale,
from one ton upward. Many poor min
ers will thus be furnished the wherewith
10 pay expenses and develop their mines,
who could not afford to wait and ship in

The firmly established reputation of Mrs.
