Henry Watterson and Urey Woodson,
the Kentucky member of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, were pres
ent by invitation, together with rep
resentatives of the leading railroads
The builders of the Coliseum have

make it especially adaptable for ma

pains to afford the representatives of
the press and the telegraph companies

boat, which carried nearly 1000 people,
attempted to effect landing at Wood

high wind and rough water. One of
the side wheels caught up a floating

commissary of the Kishineff district
has transmitted to the police commits
saries in his jurisdiction the following
circular:
CAS- a result of the disturbances at
