MEN PONT DEI.AT. 8T. PETERSBURG, May lB.-Wlth tho Russian May day happily passed without general disorders, the authorities breathe easier and are Inclined to regard the danger of a really serious interior crisis this spring as over. Turbulence doubtless will continue with sporadic disorders, but the plans of the social democrats ahd social revolutionists to produce disaffection among the troops and co-ordinate peasant and workmen's movements for the creation of a state of general anarchy have slg nally failed. The only place whence acute disorder was reported yesterday was Klshlneff, and that was In no sense attributable to the revo lutlonlsts. Apparently a crowd of soldiers off duty got out of hand, pillaged shops and even government buildings, and created a reign of terror among the Inhabitants until surrounded and arrested by their comrades. It Is now evident that while social demo' crats and social revolutionists made a lot of noise, they had neither organization nor real leadership behind them. Even the terrorists held uloof while waiting for bigger game. These two parties, which al leady have forfeited the sympathy of the major portion of the liberals, now stand discredited by their failure with the work' lng classes generally. Attempt at Strike Fails. The attempt to retrieve their lost pres tige in bt, Petersburg by proclaiming a general strike for today has also broken down, tho workmen refusing to follow their leadership. A period of calm is now likely to supervene, In which tho Intelligent ele ments of reform, which aro not In sym pathy with violence, will devote themselves, as they are now doing, to discussing and elaborating Ideas of the form which the promised popular representation should take and to bringing rational pressure to bear on the govamnent to meet their views. Everything now depends on Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, but cool observers are more and more convinced that the reforms of the Russian state, like all their prede cessors, will come from above and not from below. The people are not ripe for physical revolution. In the meantime re forms In all directions are being worked out, although the liberals are too Impa tient to properly appreciate the great changes which are gradually being effected. The repeal of the law prohibiting Poles from buying land will be followed by a general amelioration of the condition of the Jews, touching particularly the exten sion of the right of residence, On which the committee of ministers Is now ear nestly laboring. Bo far as ascertained, the troops have not fired on the workmen. Trouble in Ship Tarda. 3:23 p. m. There was a serious disturb a.nce this afternoon at the rsewski snip yard, In tho Schlushlburg causeway, on the left bunk of the Neva, above St. Peters burg. The Chevalier guards have Just left their barracks on Horse Guard boulevard at a gallop. The Associated Press Is In formed by telephone that the men at the shipyards walked out In a body, carrying red flags and singing revolutionary songs. When a representative of Ihe Associated Press arrived at the scene of the disturb ance pickets were posted about the works, but all was quiet. Tho presence of tho Chevalier Guards was unnecessary and they returned to their barracks, a detach ment of Cossacks having broken up the demonstration and dispersed the workmen without difficulty.

Eastern Finn Outbids Nineteen Com petitors, Koine of W hom Come from Pacific Coast. Just twenty bids were received by City Treasurer Hennlnrs yesterday afternoon for the purchase of an Issue of llno.ooo renewal funding bonds bearing Interest at 4 per cent and to run twenty years beTore matur ing, which the city Is getting out to take up an equally large funding Issue of twenty years ago that Is now falling due. In the words of City Treasurer Ilennlngs. "It was the best sale ever." The bonds went to Rhoades A Co. of New York, who will pay 5,7"0 for them. Some of the other bids ran nearly as high, and Mr. Hennlngs was well pleased and satis fied with the better offers. He says one reason why the price paid Is unusually good Is because Omaha city Vnnds are now legal Investments for savings nank and trust funds In the state of New York, this condi tion having been brought about by the action of the last New York legislature.

M. Vulllant (socialist) presented an In terpellation of the government on the ob servance of neutrality In the far east and M. DePressense (socialist) interpellated the ministry on neutrality and Morocco. Premier Rouvler in reply said the government, as recently explained, had given explicit orders to the authorities In the far east to strictly observe neutrality and this continued to be tho situation. The Interpellations were thereupon post poned and It was announced that the gov ernment had abandoned Its Intention to Issue a yellow book un the neutrality ques tion. The postponement of tno neutrality Inter pellations, which was for an Indefinite time, was adopted at the government's re quest and brought on a sharp discussion between Rouvler and M. M. Valllant and De Pressense. The premier appealed to the patriotism of the deputies to refrain from accusations affecting the good faith of the country, pointing out that a debate on the subject would not be advantageous and might lead to embarrassments. M. Valllant asserted amid an uproar that the government's orders to observe neutral ity were not executed. He said: 'Neither does the Russian fleet respect our neutrality, and It Is necessary to make It do so. It Is necessary to show our Impartial neutrality by acts Instead of words." M. De Pressense declared the country was entitled to know the exact situation so as to be able to Judge of its responsi bilities. M. Rouvler made a final statement to the effect that the word of France was not open to debate. The government's motion for an Indefi nite postponement of the Interpellations prevailed by 4!9 to M votes. Yoi Ca.iv Tell Thinks that She Threatened Yonns ttIUi PUtol and that It Was Discharged In the Sen file. NEW YORK, May 15.-Somewhat to the astonishment of those present at the monthly dinner tonight of tlu Phi Deltn Phi club, nn organization of lawyers, Justice Vernon M. Davis of the supreme court of the state of New York, who was the guest of honor, gave his opinion as to the guilt of Nan Patterson while mnking nn argu ment In defense of Assistant District At torney Rand, who hnd prosecuted the young woman at her three trials for tho murder of Caesar Young. Justice Davis, who pre sided at the first two trials of the former chorus girl, said thftt she hnd lied from beginning to end and It wns his opinion that the majority of the community now believed that Miss Patterson held the pistol by which Young was shot; that J. Morgan Smith bought the weapon nnd gave It to her, charging her at the time with tho duty of "scaring" Young. Calls Reporters Hack. In the middle of the Justice's remarks the reporters were asked to leave the room, but before they had reached the door they were called back by the speaker, who said that he left it to their discretion as to Just what purls of his speech were to be used. He continued: We have heard a greot deal In the pub lic press of late of severe criticism of Mr. Rand and his conduct of the trial. You can't prosecute a criminal without telling what you believe to be the truth. In the seond trial before me the defendant went on the stand, and It was quite obvious that she was telling falsehoods from be ginning to end. The very air seemed charged with the fact thnt she was lying. Yet she was a woman. She was young. It was natural that the public should sym pathize with her. People seemed to Know that she was not telling the truth and tho great public of New York said; "Why shouldn t she lie? Ixt her He. Let her get the beneHt of her lies." But today In the light of the last dis agreement I feel sure that most people are convinced that a majority of the peo- le believe that the pistol that killed Caesar 'oung was held by Nan Patterson, was discharged by her, was bought by J. Mor gan Smith, in an attempt to get money from Caesar Young for the support of the combined family. 1 don't mean to say that she took the pistol from the retlculo and shot him In the side, but I do believe that she had tho pistol and showed It to Caesar Young. An argument followed and he took hold of the weapon. In the con versation nnd consequent struggle the pis tol went on and tne mnn was Kiuea. I believe, moreover, that had she told the story on the witness stand as It really happened, In other words, had she told the truth thnt the second Jury would have acquitted her. NORTH OMAHA IMPROVEMENTS Clnb Has nosy Time vrlth Important Matters, Inelndlnsr Ward Bound aries and Golf Links. A big attendance and Ibts of business characterized the meeting of the North Omaha Improvement club last night. The committee on entertainment submitted the outline of a program for a social meeting In the near future, which will consist of a May party, followed by a. dance. The committee on ward boundaries re ported through Chairman Sweet that there was but little real satisfaction to be de rived from his inquiries and Investiga tions other than that the city council seems to have agreed to leaving the division of the Fifth and Sixth wards to Councllmen O'Brien and Evans, and whatever they agree to will largely govern the action of the council In the matter. Mr. Sweet was of the opinion that an active delega tion of the club should make It a point lo attend the meeting of the city council Tuesday evening, and make an effort to be heard upon the ward division propo sition. A committee from tho Omaha View club presented a proposition to the club for a federation of the six Improvement clubs now In the Sixth ward, and asked for the appointment of ft committee of three from the club to meet with Blmllar com mittees from tho different Improvement clubs of the ward to confer on vnrlous matters of Interest to the Sixth ward. The Improvement clubs of the ward are the Prospect Hill, Orchard Hill, Omaha View. Central Park, Monmouth Tark nnd North Omaha clubs. Chairman Wallaco appointed as such committee, Dr. Billiard, M. O. Hadley and C. H. Bnssler. Commissioner Craig of tho Park board spoke briefly of the petition now In cir culation relative to establishing publlo golf links In Miller park, and urged that If anything Is to be accomplished that the petitions be presented to the Park board at Its next meeting. The club Indorsed tho golf link proposition for Miller park, nnd the secretary was directed to notify the Park board of the action of the club. C. H. Bassler and other North Twenty fourth street residents urged that the club should take action to have that street surfaced, with cinders from Ames avenue to Fort street, nnd that new crosswalks be placed at the street intersections be tween these points. A special committee, consisting of C. W. Martin. M. L. Mc Carthy and C. H. Bassler was appointed to see the city council nnd urge. this mat ter, and to also take up the matter of the expediency of paving Twenty-fourth street, from Ames avenue to Fort street for yourself by a 10 days' trial whether or not it Is really true that COFFEE is the hidden cause of your troubles.

Cool weather and heavy rains all over the state covered by the Burlington have served to make spring farm work late, but at the same time these conditions have made tho ranges excellent and prospects for hay good. Grain is growing and in fact no disastrous results are apprehended because of the unusually late season. The Burlington's crop report says: The weather over the entire district has been a little cold and rattier unfavorable for spring work. 1 hero has been plenty of moisture, there having been about one Inch average ratntall. Bending Is progress ing, but has been retarded on account of cool weatner and wet condition ol the ground. The general prospects for crops and grass on the I'ange are very good at present. All kinds or small grain is in good grow ing condition; winter wheat look a gojd and is growing last. Small grains on ine Guernsey line Indicate acreage about equal to tnat ot last year, out on tne una irom Holdrege to Holyoke an Increased acreage Is looked for and everything is In line shape tor an excellent crop, bpnng grains on tne line between Seneca and rtavenna are reported being little weedy and weeds growing last. On the line between Seneca and Ravenna and other corn-growing points on the Alli ance division the weather has been unfa vorable for corp planting; ground too wet and cold. This work, however, Is being pushed on the line from Curtis to Holdrege and Curtis to Holyoke, und an Increased acreage Is looked for. Ranges and pasture s reported In good condition and grass is growing well: cattle are looking fairly good; slight loss of lambs Is reported on account of wet, cold weather. The work of potato planting is going on steadily, although the extreme mniature Is retarding this work In sections. The Indi cations point to a good acreage. A large acreage of sugar beets Is being sown be tween Sterling and Mlnto, also around Hill Rose, and about Goo acres are being iilanied on the Guernsey line. Alfalfa and other Ki-asses are reported as doing well on the Sterling division. The Om.iha Woman's club has held lit annual meeting and ndjourned for the sum mer.
