Threatened Russian
Break Is Averted.

PETROGRAD, Friday. May 3, 1890
p. m.-(Nia London, May 6, s p. m.)
delayed. )-The controversy between
the council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates and the provisional govern
ment, which for the last "a hours has
threatened such serious consequences
ir which. in fact, the fate of the ma
ton and possibly of the war were in
Volved, has been settled.
Prince Tseretelli, speaking before q
tremendous assembiage of soldiers
and workingmen, meeting to receive
the report of the executive council
declared the government had pre-
pared a new declaration concerning
its foreign policy which was in def
mite language, corresponded TO the
proclamation of April and embodied
the views of the proletariat.
Cheers for Government.
When the speaker declared the
temporary government had acquitted
itself of the charge brought against it
by explaining in concise terms what
1t meant by the vague form of yester-
days declaration, a great cheer arose
from the assembly and lasted for sew
eral minutes. 1t apparently voiced the
relief which all present felt at the So
luton of the most serious difficulty
which had confronted the country
since the revolution.
Prince Tseretelli then read the new
declaration sent the council by the
government and explained that the
trouble was over and the provisional
government would remain in power.
Democracy, he announced amid con-
tinued cheering. had won a great vic
tory. The speaker went on to explain
the principal exception which the
council had taken to the recent note
of the government was the phrase
"war to victorious conclusion"
which, he asserted. was an unfortu-
nate expression, since it was identical
with the formula so often used by the
old regime with quite different
sense.
Now that the question has been
settled here" said Prince Tseretelli
"our aims-war without annexations
appropriations or contributions-also
must be realized abroad. We must
know the attitude of the democracy
of our allies. If Il similar movement
takes place in the foreign democra-
cies this will bring peace nearer, and
we shall struggle until our views are
also the avowed aims of the democra-
cies with whom we are allied.
situation Complex.
"The situation yesterday was most
serious for the whole country. We
do not yet know what the government
meant. Conflict seemed unavoidable.
but the government realized it must
respect our determination. BY this
acknowledgment the government has
shown it deserves the trust Of the
democracy.
"The conflict is now settled and we
must go on quietly with our work.
We must inform our comrades the
trouble is over and tell them of the
new victory of democracy and that
the government is standing firmly in
its original position. The council ap-
peals to the people to unite around it."

LYNCH Law VICTIM
HELPS MOB ADJUST
MOOSE; DIES QUICK

PHOENIX. Ariz., May Star Da-
ley who. by his confessiin, killed Ray
Gibson of Tucson last Thursday night
and then assaulted Mrs. Gibson. was
hanged to death today by a mob OF
Phoenix and Florence citizens. A
coroner's jury, holding an inquest over
the body of the hanged man, de
clared Daley was "a victim of justi-
fable homicide committed by persons
unknown to the jury"
Mob Not Resisted.
Daley was taken from sheriff's
party which was attempting to flee
with him from the threatening wrath
of the crowd which was forming here.
More than one hunNred automobiles
were used by the pursuing citizens
and when the sheriff's car was caught
the deputies did not resist the mob.
After his capture by the mob Daley
told how he had found the Gibsons
camping near Mesa where they had
stopped while touring Arizona and the
southwest in an automobile. He told
how he stayed and chatted with Glib
son and his wife for an hour or more
and then how he shot Gibson to death
and of his actions subsequently. He
also confessed, said his captors, 20
other crimes.
Wanted Noosc Fixed Right.
After he had completed his story
he showed the mob leaders how he
wanted the moose to be adjusted and
urged that he be hanged so his neck
would break rather than to be
strangled to death. His executioners
recited the Lords Prayer in chorus,
then placed Daley on the top of one
of the automobiles which was driven
out from under him and he swung to
instant death.
Daley was arrested Friday on com
plant of Mrs. Gibson.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Advices
from the navy consulting board con-
cerning progress towards finding a
solution for the submarine menace,
referred to in New York yesterday by
Chairman w. l.. Saunders of the
board, to reach the navy department
were expected tomorrow. Secretary
Daniels said while no information
would be made public as to the ma
ture of experiments which have been

American ingenuity eventually would
check the undersea boats.
Mr.. Daniels spoke, however, with
out knowledge of the specific devices

Misapprcncnsion Cleared.
A telegram TO the Associated Press
from Lawrence Addcks of EliZab beth,
\. j., chairman of the special naval
problems committee of the consult
ing board. served to clear up some
what misapprehensions concerning
Mr.. Saunders statements yesterday.
The message In part follows.
II fear some of the statements in
the morning papers regarding the
naval consulting board may unwit-
tingly give wrong impressions regard

submarine menace and that conclu-
sions are likely to be drawn that the
problem has been either fully solved
or given up as hopeless.
Progress Satisfactory.
