st. Petersburg, May 16.-With the
Russian May day happily passed with
out general disorders the authorities
breathe easier and are inclined to re-
gard the danger of really serious
interior crisis this spring as over. Tur-

sporadic disorders, but the plans of
the social democrats and social revo-
lutionists to produce disaffection
among the troops and co ordinate peas
ant and workmen's movements for the
creation of a state of general anarchy
have signally failed. The only place
whence acute disorder was reported
was Kishineff and that was In no sense
attributable to the revolutionists. Ap-
parently a crowd of soldiers off duty
got out of hand, pillaged shops and
even government buildings and Gre

dent that while the social democrats

noise they had neither organization

Sees Democratic Hope.

Political gossip, which has been
somewhat dormant during the heat Of
the summer, has been revived by Dem
ocratic State Committeeman Likes, Of
this city, in an interview with the cor
respondent recently. To Mr. Likes the
situation presents itself as being bright
in the extreme and he sees hope for
his party. He says: Democrats ex-
pect to see 'knockdown and drag
out among the republicans in 1908.
That is the r-ason that we democrats
are feeling p.stty good this year, for
1t is cinch that the fellows who have
been running the republican party ma
tionally for 80 years will control the
national convention in 1908. Demo-
Gratis generally think that Shaw will
be the nominee. Our information from
the south is that he will have the del
egations from all those states solid.
Cummins may defeat him in Iowa from
getting the Iowa delegation, but it
won't make any difference to the man
ayers Of the republican party if they
decide beforehand that the secretary
ought to be nominated. Now, If the
republicans nominate Shaw, represent
ing the stand-pat doctrines, the demo-
Gratis may have some chance to win
out, for they will be able then not only
to control majority of their own
strength, but perhaps the large and
growing element of progressive and in
dependent republicans.

Miller and his son John fell dead at
the first fire, while the younger Miller
and Johnson were enabled to return
the fire. So far it is not known how
many men were in the other party.
johnson was struck twice in the Sec
