P trou rrul, May 4. After extended

delegates and the council of the
provisional government, the executive
c -mn.it tee decided that no reason was
nparent fur demanding the resigna

Petrograd, via London, May 4.
The evening newspaprs declare that
the government is united in its re
ponibiIUy for the note to the allies,
promising co-operation in the war
against Germany. They say that the
A't-rnment is supported by the ex
ecutive committee of the duma.
A committee representing the Rus
sian provisional government will
leave in the near future for America
t'i confer with the American govern
ment ii!icials concerning the indus
trial economic and financial relations
of the two countries. Information to
this effect was obtained by the Asso

source.
Petrojrrad. May 4. (Via London.)
Detachments of soldiers have gath
ered in front of the palace, which is
u.-ed as the headquarters of the pro
visional government, carrying red
lhiirs with inscriptions demanding the
re-iirnatiun of Foreign Minister Mi
lukotf. The resignation of M. MilukofT was
dmar.ued by thousands of soldiers
and workmen who marched through
the streets yesterday afternoon and
last evening, bearing banners in
scribed "Down with MilukofT."
Discontent has been smouldering
f r some time on account of the be
lief that the minister was not fully
in sympathy with the viewpoint of
the workmen and soldiers. The pres
ent outbreak which began yesterday
was a direct result of the announce
ment made by the foreign office to
the allied nations to the effect that
Russia would not slacken her effort in
the common sturggle against the cen
tral powers and would observe strict
ly her engagements with her allies.
The workmen and soldiers declared
that they should have been consulted
before this communication was sent.
All yesterday afternoon crowds
gathered in groups in the public
squares, listening to exhortations of
impromptu orators. Workmen on
leaving the factories in the evening
paraded the streets carrying red
fags. At a meeting of the council
l soldiers and workmen's delegates
" ie formation of a coalition cabinet
as favored. Later the executive com
mittee of the council attended a meet
ing of the council of the provisional
government.
There were also demonstrations
last evening in favor of the govern
ment. M. Rodzianko, president of
the duma. exhorted the people to con
ue the war until the attainment of
victory worthy of the Russian people.
Friction Apparently Subsided.
Some of the banners carried by the
paraders
.Gutchkoff
were inscribed "Down with
" (the minister of war),
"nd
"Down with the provisional gov
ernment!"
The executive committee of the
Worwmen's and Soldiers" delegates
discussed M. MilukolT's note to the
allies all on Wednesday night. It ad
journed at daybreak yesterday with,
out reaching a decision. Later in the
lay the committee sat in special ses
sion with the council of the pro
visional government for a discussion
of the government's motives in issu
ing the note. The executive commit
tee finally decided that it must take
some action regarding the note, but
that it saw no reason for demanding
the resignation of the provisional
government. The committee induced
the soldiers engaged in demonstra
tions to return to their barracks.
When Forign Minister MilukofT
saw the words "Down With MilukofT
he addressed the demonstration from
the balcony of the palace, saying that
he was fearful, not of MilukofT, but
for Russia. If the inscription inter
preted the feelings of a majority of j
the citizens, he asked what must be J
the condition of Russia. The entente
allies would say Russia had betrayed
her allies and had struck her name
from the list of allied powers.
"The provisional government can
not accept that view of thnigs," con
tinued M. MilukofT.
"I declare to you that the pro
visional government and myself, as
minister of foreign affairs, will de
fend a position in which no one will
dare to charge Russia with treason.
"Never shall Russia consent to a
separate peace.
"The provisional government is a
sailing vessel which can only move
with the help of the wind. We look
then, for your trust, which is the
wind that is to make our ship go for
ward. I hope you will supply us with
that breeze and that your confidence
wil laid us in propelling Russia to
ward liberty and piosperity and in
upholding the dignity of our great,
free country."

MAKE IT FOUR BILLION
Nearly $20,000,000 Hourly Offered in
Greatest Record of National
Wealth.
Washington, D. C, March 4. Sub
scriptions to the liberty loan poured
in to the treasury department today at
the rate of nearly $20,000,000 an hour.
The greatest outpouring of the world
was foreshadowed by the first day's
response to the offering of the loan.
Five hundred telegrams from less
than 2 per cent of the total number
of banks from which replies are ex
pected had been tabulated when the
office closed. These carried offers of
subscriptions to the amount of 138,
074,000. Subscriptions tabulated indicate that
the $2,000,000,000 offer will be over
subscribed at least 100 per cent. With
all other agencies of subscription, such
as department stores, express compa
nies, newspapers and patriotic soci
eties yet to be organized and to exer
cise their efforts in obtaining sub
scriptions, the oversubscription may
be much larger. Should the ratio of
the first responses be maintained in
replies from the other banks, the
banks and their customers alone
would offer subscriptions totaling ap
proximately $7,000,000,000.
One subscription of $20,000,000 was
received from a bank in New York.
Another was for $5,000,000. The
smallest subscription was $5,000. New
York led the list of states with sub
scriptions, aggregating approximately
$72,000,000, more than half the total
amount. Amounts subscribed by the
first banks to respond, grouped by
states, included:
California, $87,000; Colorado, 81,
100,000; Illinois, $19,895,000; Iowa,
$710,000; Kansas, $675,000; Minne

include telegrams received yesterday,
many of which contained subscrip
tions ranging from $100,000 to $1,
000,000. The subscriptions from some of the
chief cities include:
Chicago, $18,995,000; Cincinnati,

RECEIVES SAD NEWS
OF SISTER'S DEATH
W. E. Rosencrans, of this city, last
evening received the sad news of the
death of his sister, Mrs. W. S. Raker,
which occurred yesterday afternoon
at her home near Portland, Oregon.
Mrs. Raker was well known in the
vicinity of Elmwood, where she made
her home for a number of years with
the Rosencrans family, going from
there to Gretna, where she was united
in marriage to Mr. Raker, and after
a few years there they removed to
Portland, where they have since made
their home. Mr. Raker, the bereaved
husband, is a brother of Mrs. W. E.
Rosencrans. The funeral services will
be held tomorrow afternoon at Port
land and the remains laid to their last
rest there. The old friends of the de
parted lady will learn with regret of
the passing of this splendid lady and
extend to the sorrowing relatives
their deepest sympathy.

DAY SATURDAY EVE
Saturday evening the members of
the Kensington club, together with a
number of the friends and neighbors,
planned and carried out a very pleas
ant birthday surprise on Mrs. Jesse
F. Warga at her home on High School
hill. The conspirators had planned
the event with much skill and one of
the members of the party secured a
key to the Warga home and during
the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Warga
proceeded to take possession of the
house and arrange for the pleasant
event. The surprise of the guest of
honor may be imagined on returning
home and entering the darkened
rooms to find them filled with the
members of the jolly party. The
evening was spent in games of all
kinds, together with music and con
versation that served to pass the time
most delightfully. In the bean shak
ing contest Mi's. Joe Hadraba proved
the most skillful and was awarded
the highest score, while in the needle
threading contest Mrs. John Cloidt
proved the most adept. In the don
key contest Mrs. Frank Lorenz, of
Sheldon, la., was given the first prize.
The guests, mindful of the evening
of enjoyment and pleasure, had come
provided with well filled baskets of
good things, which were soon made
into a most tempting luncheon that
everyone enjoyed and the pleasure
continued until near the midnight
hour, when the guests departed
homeward. Those in attendance were
Messrs. and Mesdames Joseph War
ga, John Cloidt, John P. Sattler, W.
II. Mason. Mesdames E. C. Harris,
C. Purr, Joe Wooster, J. F. Hadraba,
