M|LUKOFF CONVERTS
SOCIALIST RIOTERS
DANGER OF REVOLT is OVER FOR
THE PRESENT AS RESULT OF
BETTER STANDING.
Workmen and Soldiers who Had
Planned to Overturn Provisional
Government Heed Advice OF
the Foreign Minister.

Observation-Disclosures OF revolt
which might result in the downfall OF
the present government seems 10 be
over, for the present ut least.
The council of workmen's and sol
diers' delegates has accepted the gov
ernments explanation of it's May day
note by a vote of "a 10 10, und has
decided that the incident is closed.
The anti-goyernment street demonstra-
tion was completely swamped by Il
gigantic pro-government demonstra-
ton on Friday evening. There were
some clashes but no serious incidents.
The appearance of Cabinet Minis
ters Milukoff, Shingaroff and Nekra-
zon and their addresses from the steps
of the palace to the assembled crowd
at midnight, In which they explained
the meaning of the recent note, APP
peared to have the effect of abatlng
the antagonism of the rank and file
of the populace, who. during the arter-
noon. marched with banners demand
ing the resignation OF Foreign Minister
Milukofr. The words of the ministers
were roundly cheered at times and
there was almost no unfriendliness in
evidence.
Whether the conciliatory spirit de-
veloped In the secret session is pro-
within the ranks of the coun-
ell remains to be determined.
The meeting of the troops before
the Marinsky palace apparently was
the result of misunderstanding
created by agitators who used the gov
note to excite the soldiers.
A majority of the soldiers, however,
have shown that they fully understand
he best interests OF democracy and
,nly small minority has taken part |
n the i-goyernment demonstration.

AnnrecIation of Authors.

That Americans are not without APP
probation of their great authors
after the great authors are dead-was
demonstrated at sale in New York
city, where collection of 33 holograph
letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne, with
engraved portraits, brought $1,000 from
W. II. James. In the collection were
letters to Hawthorne and his family
from Emerson, Whittier, Bret Harte,
Browning. Eugene Field and Irving.
Two thousand dollars is good,
round price to pay for a few old let
tiers, even If they were written by or
to an author of the repute of Haw-
thorne. 1t is easy to imagine what
Hawthorne would have thought on the
subject II he could have foreseen this
transaction when he was writing juve-
nile classics like the "Tanglewood
Tales" and "Grandfather's Chair" for
s. G. Goodrich, and receiving in remu-
neration sometimes no more than $50
volume.
