Si. Petersburg, Russia.?The widely
heralded May Day demonstration in
*
St. Petersburg were a complete fiasco,
and reports from Moscow and the provinces
indicate that order reigned generally
throughout Russia.
Minor disorders are reported from
Reval. Kishineff, and one or two other
places, but no report of serious tumult
or loss of life has been received, and
the attempts of the Social Democrats
and Social Revolutionists to signalize
May Day by great anti-Government
demonstrations appear to have been a
thorough failure.
Dispatches from Kazan, Tiflis, Sara- ;
toff. Kronstadt, Rostoff-on-Don, Kieff,
Tomsk, and other cities say the workmen
observed the day as a holiday;
that the shops were closed, and that '
quiet was not disturbed.
In St. Petersburg the day passed in
almost perfect quiet, and happily with- ''
out a drop of blood being shed. The '
Revolutionaries found it impossible to
execute the program of demonstrations !
and bomb-throwing which they had so
widely advertised, the workingmen de.
/ dining to sacrifice themselves to advance
the propaganda of their self-con- J
stituted leaders, and the advertised 1
meetings were attended chiefly by spec- \
' tators.
Governor General Trepoff handled
the situation firmly, but with a view
to avoiding collisions. Squads of Cossacks
patroll9d the streets, reserves
being held out of sight in courtyards,
and the Guard Regiments were retained
under arms in their baracks.
A newspaper correspondent, who
rode through all sections of the city
and suburbs, found the streets perhaps
less thronged than usual. More or
Jess tension and agitation were apparent
in the industrial quarters
among workmen promenading under
the eyes of Cossacks with whips in
their hands, but otherwise the city
wore almost a normal appearance. The
, weather, which was cold and raw, perhaps
-acted as a deterrent to would-be
demonstrators, as Russians dislike
physical discomfort.

Where the principal meetings of honor 1
of }be "January martyrs,as the vie- ?
tims of the "Red Sunday" are popu- <
larly called, had been advertised, there 1
was a scanty crowd, composed largely ?
of the curious. Cossacks dispersed the
crowd, the more aggressive members t
of which sang the "Marseillaise" as
th'-y were crossing the fields. This t
defiance was met by a charge of Cos- a
sacks, who used their whiiis freely, in- i
flioang many nasty injuries.
There was a similar incident on Vas- <
sili Island, where a dozen students,
mainly girls, sang the "Marseillaise" <;
and gathered a crowd. Cossacks can- k
tered up and dispersed the crowd with
whips, seeming to take special pleasure
in slashing the girl students with their t
whips, but the girls were apparently t
nABA oo morfrne onH HoUh. i
flilAJUUff IV puoc ag uuai. ij & uuu,
erately provoked attack by singing f
revolutionary songs. s
The affair gave rise to rumors that a j
number of persons had been killed, but j
in the incident, which happened under j
the eyes of a correspondent, sabres 1
were not even drawn, and nobody was i
seriously hurt. j
The day wound up with a tumult in
one of the people's parks, where, while j
r. merrymakers were dancing Russian (
national dances, agitators scattered r
proclamations among the crowd and j
drove a scanty guard of police into a ^
shallow artificial lake. Cossacks came ?
up at a gallop wielding their whips, ^
rescued the police, and made numerous ,
arrests. It was noticeable that the j
Cossacks rode widely apart, evidently j
to minimize the effect of bombs should j
they be thrown. (
The Governor General attributes the ]
lacU of trouble largely to wholesale (
arn-sts of incendiary leaders. ,
xne presnge ot me social j_?eiuocrais ^
and Revolutionists has suffered ,
greatly by the day's failure, though J
th<\v were trying that night to retrieve j
it by issuing a manifesto attributing (
.."their inability to carry out the pro- ,
gram to the overwhelming force of (
military and proclaiming a general
strike. The leaders were so confident j
of success in advance of the event
that they prepared a number of informal
hospitals or bandaging stations
in the neighborhood of the various advertised
meeting pjaces in order to render
first aid to the victims of the ex.
pected rioting. Part of the onus of ,
their failure rests upon Father Gapon,
who sent a message from abroad to
the leaders of his old organization saying.
"Do nothing until I return." ,
The police prevented a meeting of
resident clergy who desired to pass J
resolutions of sympathy with the Met- ,
ropolitan Antonius, who bas been
transferred to the Caucasus on account ,
of bis agitation in favor of a revival ,
of the Patriarchate. When representatives
of the clergy asked an officer if
the> might hold a meeting in a church
be replied in the negative, saying that '{
bis orders were not to permit a meeting
anywhere.

east of Emporia at 2.30 in the morning,
caused by malicious persons who were
believed to be responsible for three
other attempts to wreck Santa Fe
trains near the same spot within the
last four months.
The wrecked train. No. 19, was running
about thirty-eight miles an hour
when it struck a curve on an embankment
eight feet high. Here several
rails had been loosened by the removal
of spikes and flsk plates with tools stolen
from the Howard branch section
tool house. The engine was running
so smoothly it did not leave the track,
but sped over the loosened rails as if
they were flrmly nailed to the ties.
This fact, miraculous almost in itself,
probably averted a disastrous wreck.

| OCEAN YACHT RACE BEGUN
I
Eleven Speedy Boats Start From
Sandy Hook For English Coast.
| GERMAN EMPEROR OFFERS PRIZE
! Laige Loving; Cap Valued at Five Thousand
Dollars to Ba Presented to the
Owner of the Winning Yacht?Two
British Boats and One German Are
Bntered in tbe Competition.
Sandy Hook, N. Y.?The big transAtlantic
yacht race began at 12.15
o'clock in the midst of a dense fog and
against a light northeast wind. So
thick was the weather that it was impossible
for those who were not within
at least a few hundred feet of the racers
tp see the start or even hear the
gun. The eleven yachts that are fighting
for the possession of Emperor William's
Cup were well out to sea before
the majority of sightseers were aware
that they had really left for good.
The starting gun was fired on time,
12.15 o'clock, and a few minutes after
the first yacht crossed. The Valhalla
and Utowana missed the line and had
to go back to get across.
Disappointment prevailed in all quarters
over the nastiness of the weather,
the postponement of a uay in the start.
The following eleven yachts were
entered: Ailsa, owned by H. S.
Redmond, sailed by Lem Miller;
Apache, owned by Edmund Randolph,
sailed by J. H. McDonall; Atlantic,
owned by Wilson Marshall, sailed by
Charles Barr; Endymion, owned by
George Lauder, Jr., sailed by J. A.
Loesch; FIdur de Lys, owned by Dr.
Lewis A. Stimson, sailed by Thomas
Bohlin; Hamburg (German) owned by
j a syndicate, sailed by C. Peters; Hildegarde,
owned by E. R. Coleman, sailed
by S. M.' Marstens; Sunbeam (English),
owned by Lord Brassey, sailed
by A. S. Achard; Thistle, owned and
sailed by Robert E. Tod; Utowana.
owned by Allison V. Armour, sa|led by
,T. C. Crawford: Valhalla (English),
owned by Earl of Crawford, sailed by
J. Caws.
It was chiefly through Commodore
Tod's efforts that the race was arranged.
He bad given prizes for several
long distance races and induced
Sir Thomas Lipton to offer a cup for
a race across the Atlantic. Sir Thomas
withdrew his offer when the Emperor
made his.
Promptly at 12 o'clock in the afternoon
the preparatory signal was made
from the tug Vigilant, on board of
which boat was the starting committee.
This committee was Commander
H. G. Hebbinghaus, I. G. N.; Commander
W. F. Halsey. U. S. N.; Oliver
E. Cromwell, H. de B. Parsons, Newbury
D. Lawton aud Edward H. Wales.
It was agreed by all the owners that
there should be no delay in the start,
and as the gun fired the blue peter was
hoisted. The other end of the line
was marked by the Sandy Hook Light
vessel.
Ten minutes after the preparatory
signal another gun was fired. At the
same time the blue peter was run down
o hail imicf-ori in its nlare.
This was a warning signal and told
the yachtsmen that they had five minutes
before being sent off on their long
journey.
At 12.15 o'clock a third gun gave the
signal to go. and the time9 of the
yachts were taken from that gun. The
race was then on. Sail was crowded
on each boat and trimmed to suit the
weather conditions, and the eleven
handsome yachts headed for the Fire
Island Lightship, whicli^piarked the
first part of their course. Away out
to the eastward stretched the wide expanse
of ocean and 3000 miles away
was the finishing line. There, the German
cruiser Pfeil will wait for the
yachts and make a line with the lighthouse
on the Lizard.
For days and nights the yachts will
battle with the winds and seas. In
calm or storm their crews will drive
them on, each crew endeavoring to
send his boat ahead so as to capture
the rich prize offered by the German
Emperor. This cup is worth $5000,
and for the next three boats to finish
there will be other prizes, and for
these the plucky sportsmen nave nuea
out their boats at costs varying from
$20,000 to $40,000 each, and manned
them -with big crews, provisioned them
for the long journey and braved the
unknown dangers of the deep.
There has been some figuring on the
length of time that will be taken for
the race. The Earl of Crawford, who
owns the Valhalla, thinks that if the
winds are strong and come from the
west the race may be ended in nine
days and that his boat can win. The
Valhalla under such conditions can sail
sixteen knots an hour.
Some will take the northern passage
and brave the perils of ice and fog.
Others will keep further south, preferring
not to take chances with ice, and
trust to getting fresher winds and so
make up what they will lose by keeping
to the south. For day and night
perhaps for two weeks all sail will be
carried and the boats driven on to the
finish.
The scene off Sandy Hook was a
memorable one. A big fleet of boats
was there to see the racers start, and
these racers presented a picture that
few can paint.
The race is one without restrictions.
The boats sail just as their owners
may choose. There is no time allowance.
No racing rule will bother the
skippers?only the rules of the road at
sea will govern, and the first boat in
will win.

HIRAM CRONK HONORED F
New York City Pays Homage to Vet- S
eran of War of 1812.
t
Remains of Deceased Rest in State in A
the City Hall of the
metropolis.
New York City.? In ^tribute co old
Hiram Cronk, last survivor of 1812, iC
funereal black was run around the City u
Hall, at the level of the second floor jt
cornices and the pillars of the main fl
portico fronting the park were heavily p
swathed in black wrappings. Part of p
the $3000 which the Aldermen appro- Si
priated was; spent in putting the Hall o
in half mourning. h
The ceremony of receiving the body l5(
at the City Hall was simple and im- ^
pressive until the police lines in the
park were relaxed and the rush of ai
curious persons began. U. S. Grant in
Post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, had acted w
as guard of honor on the march from d<
the Grand Central Station. A detail c?
from the post, acting as pallbearers, gi
bore the coffln from the hearse to the bi
bier in the rotunda of the building. ti
Police lines were formed, and as soon L
as the coffin "was uncovered the mem- bi
bers of the U. S. Grant Post were the fc
first to file past. They were followed w
by members of the Society of the War h;
of 1812 and delegations of women rep- d;
resenting various historical and patriotic
societies. The guard of honor o(
from the G. A. R. post was then with- ui
drawn, the police formed lines across w
the first floor of the building, and the m
public were admitted to pass the coffin 01
in a steadily moving line. si
The City Hall inside was elaborately 0f
decorated or draped. From arch, post, to
pillar and stair railing in the rotunda
hung great streamers of black cloth, nj
trimmed with purple. Huge folds of
the black cloth were draped back under ^
stairways and in dark corners, and jj,
over all the doors hung streamers of u
the mourning emblem. U1
The box of flowers was placed at the
head of the bier. The flags on the l,
building -were placed at half mast. tl
The police made ample arrangements fr
for handling the crowds while the body fv
remained in the building. Persons ja
who wished to view'th; body entered
the building in two lines through the es
main entrance on the south side. They w
passed between lines of police on either p(
side of the coffin and passed out at the jj
rear, door. No person was allowed to tj.
enter the building through the doors ^
on the north, which were used solely
for exit. , ?j.
The body, in a heavy solid oak coffin
arrived from up-State on the New York sr
Central at 7.35 o'clock i:a the morning.
Colonel Butt, commanding Grant Post, ?j'
G. A. R., -was on board the train in . or
active charge. With hiin as mourners tl]
were the immediate members of Hiram
Cronk's family, headed by his oldest
son, Philander Cronk, n man eightyone
years old. There were two other
sons, William, seventy-irwo years old, sa
and John, sixty years old; the veteran's
only surviving daughter, Mrs. Sarah ^
Rawley, seventy-one years old;. Frank gt
Cronk, a nephew, arid Dr. and Mrs. C. ^
L. Morehouse. Mrs. Morehouse is the
adopted daughter of Mrs. Rawley. The
party of relatives made, the trip from
Booneville, N. Y., as the guest of
United States Senator Chauucey M.
Depew.
The coffin remained in the baggage ,
room at the Grand Central Station 2,
until 10 o'clock. On the heavy oak .
top was a small silver plate, bearing N
the following inscription: ?
O

There were two handsome floral ?'
pieces, une naa Deen seni uy me iui;ui ?
posts of the G. A. R. and the other by
the Society of the War of 1812. g
There was a good sized crowd outside,
the Forty-second street entrance of the ^
station when the procession started j.
for the City Hall. In front went a" detail
of eight mounted policemen, heatted
by Roundsman Davis. The policemen
cleared a path down Fifth avenue for
the procession and turned all north- J
bound vehicles into the side streets.
A delegation of members of Grant
Post, G. A. R., came next, forming a t
personal escort to Colonel Butt. The b
Eighth Infantry Band, raying dead
marches, followed, and close behind ,
the band was a company of regulars ..
from Governor's Island, under Captain \
Evan N. Johnson.
The heavy hearse, draped in black
trappings and drawn by four black
horses, was flanked by double lines of
members of Grant Post, G. A. R. Then
there was a delegation of Daughters
of the War of 1812, who preceded fifty
members of the Society of the War of C
1S12.
A fifer and a drummer led six Minute
Men and two officers representing the
Army and Navy. The end of the pro- fj
cession was made up of carnages. In P

that had accompanied the body. Noth- ~
ing else could have so "well empba- 11

as the decrepitude of his wrinkled oc- w
togenarian son, Philander.
A special committee of Aldermen
filled the other carriages. They "wore |l
high hats and white gloves. The Chair- "
man of the Aldermanic committee was
John Wirth, and Lis associates were
General Daniel E. Sickles and Aldermen
Owens, Dougherty. Kenney, Cog- ^
gey and Kline.
Nearly every imaginable sort of uni- P
form, ancient, modern and in between, E
figured in the procession.

in Colombian Army as a
General.
New York City.?The smallest Amer:an
republic, Panama, dedicated her
avy to service, and for the first time
1 these waters the flag of the republic
oated from the peak of a vessel. Apropriately
enough, the smallest reubfic
has also the smallest navy, consting
of one trim little yacht, which,
n her arrival at Colon several weeks
euce, will be transformed into a gunsat
by the mounting of her armament.
It had been the original intention of
aptain T. T. ljovelace, formerly of
Kansas City, and now known in Colon
nd Panama as "El Almirante," to
lake the dedication of the havy over
hich he holds absolute command a
>uble event. The party which was to
?lebrate the event of the navy's inaujral
was to have been taken down the
ly to view the starting of the race for
le Kaiser's Cup, but when Captain
ovelace got word that the start would
i postponed, the ceremony was perirmed
at the dock of the Morse Iron
'orks, in Bay Ridge, where the vessel
is berthed since her trial run several 1
lys ago. >
The Orienta was in gala dress for the
:casion. Captain Lovelace wore the
aiform of his rank and his officers
ere also resplendent in gold lace. A
erry party that filled the tiny cabin
; the vessel had come on board, constiug
of Carlos Arosemena, Secretary
; the Panamanian Legation; Miss Vicria
Guardia, niece of the Secretary of
tate of the republic; the Misses Arias,
eces of the Minister of Foreigu Aflirs;
Francisco Arias, son of Ricardo
rias. Financial Envoy of the Repub;;
Miss Stimson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
art. and Mr. and Mrs. J. X. Aroseena.
Luncheou was served on board, Mrs.
ovelace acting as hostess, after which
le flag of the republic was brought
oin a locker where it had been carellly
stowed away by Captain Lovece
and fastened to the halyards, and
le Union Jack and the revenue flag,
specially designed by the captain,
ere respectively fastened to the fore?ak
r.ud the maintop halyards. To
rs. Arosemena and Miss Guardia fell
le honor of raising these two flags at
ie same time that the Secretary of Leltion
raised the standard of the couny.
The Panamanian flag consists of four
luares, two of white, one in the up?r
left and the other in the lower
gat nana corner, ana two squares,
ie each of red and blue. In one of
le white squares there is a single star
! blue and in the other a red s^ar.
When the crew had been called to
jarters and all the preliminaries had
;en arranged Secretary Arosemena
lid:
"In the absence of the Minister the
mor devolves upon me to raise the
andard of our country on this beautiil
little vessel and to dedicate her to
ie country's service. May she carry
ir flag into many ports on peaceful
issions and ever uphold the honor of
ir republic!"
The flags were hoisted to the peaks,
hile the big United States transports
ing near blew shrill blasts on their
histles. The Orienta was scheduled
i leave for Colon, her route being to
orfolk. Savannah, Jacksonville, Key
''est, and through the Caribbean Sea.
11 her arrival there she will be fitted
ith two three-pounder Hotchkiss guns
id two automatic Maxim rapid-firing

NEW YORK STATE CENSUS
? '
Enumeration of People in the Me
tropolis and Other Citi'S.
Comparison of New York With Oilier
Large Cities of the TVorld?
Crowing Rapidly.
New York City.?All preliminary arrangements
for taking the 1905 census
of New York, city and State, have been
perfected, although the actual work
of counting noses will not begin
until June 1. Thomas Edwin Brows.
Jr., Supervisor for New York County,
has opened offices at No. 150 Nassau
street. This census will be taken in
quicker time and at less cost than any
previous one.
Estimating on the figures of the last
census, it is believed that New York
will show a population of nearly four
millions. Of these a little less than
two millions are housed on the island
of Manhattan: Brooklvn will be cred
ited with about 1,370,000, the Bronx
with 324,000, Queens with about 200,000
and Richmond with about 76,000.
Amazing as it may seem, it has been
figured out that New York City's population
increases at the rate of three
per cent, a year, adding more than 100,000
souls in every twelve months,
equivalent to the absorption of a city
as big as Scranton, Pa. It is rapidiy
overtaking London, England, which, in
the census of 1901 had 4,537,000 persons,
and in the course of no very long
time Manhattan Borough alone will
pass Paris, France, which in that year
had 2,714,000.
As for American cities, it is so far
ahead that none of them can possibly
catch up. Allowing to Chicago, 111.,
and Philadelphia, Pa., the same rate
of growth New York City has enjoyed,
the former will count only 2.000,000
this year and Philadelphia 1,500,000.
Under a statute passed last March,
the entire work of this year's State
census will be in charge of the Secretary
of State, but the actual work will
be under the control of W. C. Hunt,
head of the population division of the
Federal Census Bureau, who has been
loaned to the State by the National
Government. A supervisor has been
appointed for each of the counties, and
Mr. Brown has the work of this one.
Mr. Brown will have twelve assistants,
chosen from the Senatorial dis
tricts, and each of these assistants will
have'charge of one-twelfth of the city.
These, in turn, will have direction of
the enumerators, on the basis of one
for every election district, numbering
nearly 900 in all.
This year the cost will be unusually
small, only $300,000 having been appropriated
for the whole State. That
is why the Secretary of State has ordered
that the work shall begin on
June 1 and be finished in two weeks,
although the statute permits all of
May and June. Each enumerator will
receive $2 a day and one cent for every
name he records. These men are chosen
from the election districts, but fitness
is made a first requisite.
No attempt will be made to gather
industrial figures in the census. The
main duty will be to find out just 1
many persons live in New York, and
upon the findings will depend the reapportionment
of the State into Senatorial
and Assembly distriots.
Veiled murderess dies.
Henrietta Robinson, Long a Prisoner,
Never Told Her Name.
Newburg, N. Y.?Henrietta Robinson,
who was known as the "veiled murderess,"
and whose name was assumed,
died at the Matteawan State Hospital
the other morning.
According to the only clue she ever j
gave to her identity she belonged to
one of the English titled families. This
much of her secret was gleaned by hospital
physicians about a year ago.
Securely sewed in her needle case 1
the authorities found, after her death,
a locket and a worn piece of newspaper
upon which was written:
"When first I saw this world of joy
and pain,
Assailed by doubt that ever will remain,
I wondered what it meant to live to
die?
The question oft I pondered, but in
vain."
Of late years she had been visited by
no person but her attorney, who saw
her once in about five years. She received
a box at Christmas from a Philadelphia
woman, whose identity the
hospital authorities refuse to divulge.
As no one claimed the body she was
UUJL'ieU ill UiC vvu?v?iva^ i
When it was apparent she was going
to die, she was urged to reveal her
identity, but refused. She said she had
kept the secret during the half century
she had been in prison and it would
die with her.
Mrs. Robinson was arrested for the
murder of Timothy Lanagan and Catherine
Lubee in Troy, N. Y.. in 1853.
She insisted upon wearing a veil during
her trial," though urged to remove
it by the Judge and Martin I. Townsend.
her attorney. She was convicted,
sentenced to be hanged and sent to
Sing Sing in 1855. Her sentence was
commuted and in 1873 she was sent to
Auburn. About fifteen years ago she
was removed to the Matteawan Hospipal
for the Criminal Insane.
She was a quiet prisoner, and of late
years had spent her time in making
lace, which she wore. The hospital
records show that she was seventyeight
years old, but on her last birthday
anniversary she said she was
eighty-nine.
Thinks There Was No Foul Play.
Richard Croker. Jr.. at Kansas City,
Mo., declared that he was confident
that his brother's death was not due
to foul play.
