CRISIS HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFULLY PASSED
And Probability of General Up.
heaval Disappears.
IN THE CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA
The Russian Government Is using
Every Means to Create that I'M
preston, but So Far Has Not Been
Successful.

st. Petersburg, July 26.-The gov
eminent is using every means at Its
, disposal to create the impression bott
at home and abroad that the crisis
has been successfully passed and that
the probability of a general upheav
al has disappeared.
The semi-oficiaI press is filed with
comforting assurances that the gov
ernment now has a firm hold of the
situation, and that the confusion and
decentralization in the counsels of the
the opposition produced by the coup
render united action impossible. More
over, the government seeks to ere
ate the impression that there has
been little response among the mass
es for a general strike plan.
The application of the old methods
the government confidently asserts
has already landed the most danger
GUS of the leaders behind the bars
and much stress is laid on the impor
tance of the capture of number OF
revolutionary ring leaders at Moscow
Among the newspapers seized the
government claims, were found plans
for a complete revolutionary move
ment. The governments sudden &C.
cess Of optimism, however, is In real.
ity traceable to the CONSERVATION over
the disastrous fall in Russian securi
ties at home and abroad. The one
thing the government cannot do with.
out is money, and whenever. the re.
spOnse to the outlawed parliament s
appeal to the people to refuse to any
longer Pay taxes, the whole future
depends on the ability of the govern
ment to contine its foreign operations.
The second installment of the big
loan negotiated prior to the assem-
bling of parliament is due Aug. 1, and
the outlook in Russia has frightened
the holders into refusing to pay in
any further cash. The situation has
evidently caused quite as much alarm
among the financiers who underworld
the loan abroad as it has among
treasury officials here.
Finance Minister KokovsOff has
been bombarded by kilograms from
French, English and German bankers,
urging on him the necessity of sup
porting the market This accounts
for the activity of the government
bankers in bidding up prices on tha
bourse here and at Moscow yesterday
as well as for the rosy view of the
future sent abroad by the Official Tel
egraph agency last night under M.
Kokovsoff's inspiration.
AS a matter of fact, the government
can hardly be blind to the evidence
under It's nose that it is living over
a volcano, and that the danger ST an
eruption is far from ended.

Ithaca, N. Y, July ga discussion
among four cripples as to which was

wounds. Spicer has sworn out

him with his own cane, charging as.
sault in the third degree. The other

burn Lee at the stake was outwitted
by the sheriff
Lees crime created unprecented ex-
c1tement throughout the eastern coun.
ties OF Maryland and for weeks che
popular fury was such that governor
Warfeld deemed it prudent to have
him confined in the Baltimore city
jail for protec-iO
The exact place of execution was
kept secret, even from those who were
to accompany the sheriff and culprit
as deputies and witnesses To carry
out this purpose Sheriff Brown ap-
peared in Baltimore Wednesday after
noon late, placed his prisoner aboard
a steamer of the Maryland oyster
navy and Immediately sailed down the
bay He took with him a gailows
which had been borrowed from Balti-
more county and also a coffin and was
prepared to hang Lee on the deck of
the vessel after reaching the waters
of Somerset county should there be
any signs of mob on shore
At an early hour Thursday morn
ing the steamer appeared off Smiths
Island, the prisoner was speedily TAX
en- ashore and the scaffold quickly
erected by a carpenter who had been
brought from Baltimore for that pur-
pose. The culprit, accompanied by
his spiritual adviser, was led up the
scaffold, the moose was adjusted and
the execution was quickly over.
