Vice President Fairbanks, who is rated as a millionaire, claims an interest in Ohio because lie was there, Indiana because he votes there, and Illinois because he lives there a part of the time on his “big farm.’’ It is possible that he filed liens on other states. As a candidate Mr. Fairbanks is terribly in earnest. It is said that Indiana republican leaders view with alarm the “stand-pat” policy adopted by President Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon and members of the Congressional Committee at Oyster Bay Monday, and say they will not be bound by the Oyster Bay manifesto. The leaders at Indianapolis realize that there is a general demand in this state for tariff revision, and a canvass of the wholesale district of the capital city revealed that nearly every merchant is favorable to a revision of the tariff at the earliest possible moment. Postmaster Walkup is the leader of one Republican faction in | Crawfordsville and Walter Break is prominent the other faction, which is known as the “anti-ring” 1 faction Walkup and Break met upon the street, each recalled the other’s politcal treachery and each told the other that he was a liar and doubtless offered to prove it. Then they began to pummel each other with their fists, to the great scandal of the decent citizens of the Hoosier Athens. These republican fights are as numerous as they are disgraceful. Usually they grow out of quarrels over offices, which do not belong to them at all, but to the people, Isn’t it about time for the people to reclaim their own?

The New York Press, strongly republican, thinks George B, Cortelyou, Mr. Roosevelt’s postmaster general, should resign the chairmanship of the republican national committee. The Press declares that the insurance money contributed to the Republican campaign fund in 1904 was stolen from the policy holders and their dependents. and that its acceptance by the committee was morally the receiving of stolen goods. Mr. Oortelyou has often spoken of resigning, but be still bolds on. President Roosevelt ought to enjoy life pretty well. The wolf has never growled at his door, whatever the bobcats may have done. He has gone where he pleased and as he pleased. He has talked and written to his heart’s content (perhaps), has held offices to his taste and never has had any trouble locating the spotlight. And now that he has retired to bis summer home at Oyster Bay he has ordered a great naval display in view of his front yard for the entertainment of his family and neighbors. Much powder will be burned to the great profit of the powder trust, which gets from the government 75 cents a pound for powder which should not cost more than 35 cents. All of which is a good thing for the powder trust. As for the people, they only foot the bill.

DUMA WAS IN THE WAY

Seems To Be the View of the Case Taken by Premier Stolypin. REFORMS ARE TO BE REALIZED Parliament’s Tendency Was to Pre* vent Their Peaceful Development Body Was Also Lawless —So Declare Statements Issued by the Prime Minister—Another Officer Assassinated. New York. July 26.—The Associated Press has received the following dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated July 25: “Answering your telegram ad dressed to the prime minister I am directed to say that the Central Tress administration informs us that St. Petersburg and the provinces received the news of the dissolution of the duma calmly. Th eemperor firmly intends realizing the reforms proclaimed in his manifesto of Oct. 30. The dissolution of the duma was indispensable. as the first body of delegates pursued tendencies which threatened to prevent the peaceful development of reforms in the empire.” The cable is signed “Bellegnrde." Duma Lawless from tbe Start. St. Petersburg, July 26.—The official St. Petersburg agency Is authorized by Premier Stolypin to issue the following statement to the foreign press: “From the very first days of its existence the lower house of parliament overstepped nl! the limits of law. In its reply to the speech from the throne modification of the fundamental law was demanded in the shape of the suppression of the council of tbe empire and the creation of a responsible cabinet. By its agrarian programme, based on the expropriation of land, the house raised hopes that could not l>e realized, and weakened the respect for property of ethers already enfeebled. Discredited the Government. “In the speeches of its members the house consistently discredited the government, which it ever accused of orgatdzfng pogroms and disorders. By sending a deputation to Bialystok It openly aspired to usurp executive power. Fourteen deputies appealed to the people, inciting disorders, a step which called forth no expression of disapprobation from the house. Provoker of Disorders. Tn the last moment of its existence : the house declared that the government had acted Illegally In explaining ! to the population the nature of the agrarian project proposed by itself, and ■ decided to address a manifesto to the I people persuading them not to believe in the government regarding the ques- ! tion, but to await its settlement by : parliament. Several members also unI dertook journeys to the interior of I Russia with the object of supporting I agitation, their appearance being followed by renewed disorders, pogroms and strikes. All these causes necessitated, the decision to dissolve the house.” 5 REVIEW OF THE SITUATION Reds Are Inclined to Wait Before Beto liaise Cain. St. Petersburg, July 26.—Though it is difficult to obtain a true picture of the conditious in the interior, owing to the embargo that has been put upon

press dispatches, all indications point more and more to the postponement of the threatened general strike until the government shall be less and the country more prepared for such an event; until the harvest is finished and the revolutionary < movement devejopn spontaneously among the idle peasantry. y The rothnant of the Constitutional Democratic deputies, many of whom —after having collected the arrears of salary and mileage due them have started homeward, are caucusing industriously; but their importance has gone, neither the government nor the revolutionists paying much attention to the former dominant party in the lower house of parliament. The most urgent problem before the government in case an immediate outbreak is postponed is the relief of the distress in the interior. The cabinet meeting Tuesday evening was devoted to consideration of this subject and it was voted to extend relief works in the famine districts. Premier Stolypin has announced to the council of the empire that he has obtained from Emperor Nicholas special powers for Admiral Skrydloff in restoring and maintaining order and discipline in the Black sea fleet. The admiral, who has departed for Bebastopol. told the Associated Press that his first task would be to investigate the arrests of sailors of the fleet and liberate those who were unjustly sent to prison. lie intimated that he considered the officers largely to blame for the mutinous spirit o*f the various crews. The latest assassination by the reds is that of Colonel Salamotoff, at Warsaw, who was stabbed to death by two men in the street, the assassins walking away unhindered by the spectators. Salamotoff was assistant chief of gen d'arme at Warsaw. Count Heyden, Prince Lvoff and H. Satkovich, three members of parliament who refused to sign the address to the country issued at Viborg, Issued a separate address appealing to the people to submit quietly to the imperia] decree dissolving parliament and to prepare for the election of members to the new durna. The address points out that the emperor acted within his constitutional rights under the fundamental law. “The government.” the address adds, “is compelled to maintain the integrity of the state and the safety of the citizens at any price.”

“REVOLUTION!” SAY DEPUTIES Address Tells tbe Russian People Not to Pay Any More Taxes. Viborg, Finland, July 24.—The curtain has dropped on the final act of the drama qf Russia's first parliament. Under the spur of the threat of Governor Recbanberg to use military force to end the session, and with troops already converging on the Hotel Belvedere, where the meeting was held, the assembled members of the lower house, 186 In number, hurriedly adopted and signed an address to the people which is thoroughly revolutionary in its nature, elected a perpetual executive committee headed by Prince Paul Dolgoroukoff, vice president , of the house, to carry on the work of liberation, and adjourned amidst characteristic Russian embracing and kissing. With the exception of Count Heyden, Michael Stakovlteh and the Polish delegates every member present signed the address, the Polish delegate stating that they had no credentials to advise the Polish nation as to future tactics, and that they ’cannot participate in directing the Russian people, but that all their sympathies were on the side of Russian revolution. The address, which bears a remarkable similarity to the manifesto framed by the council of workmen last November, which landed its authors and the editors of eight St. Petersburg newspapers in cells of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, declares that the administration and not parliament is responsible for tbe delay in the settlement of the agrarian question, and proclaims a cessation of payment of taxes and of military service, and repudiation of future loans.

NEGRO HANGED AFTER SEA TRIP

Officials Prevent Lynching by Spirit* ing Away Prisoner in Ship, Then Execute Him. Baltimore, Md., July 26.—A negro died on the gallows after a trip at sea with the sheriff of Somerset county, who sailed from port with the negro and a gallows. At daylight the sheriff anchored at a lonely spot on Smith island, erected the gallows on the shore, and hanged the negro. The negro was William Lee. convicted and sentenced to death for an attack on two women in Princess Anne county.. To prevent him from being lynched, he had been kept In the Baltimore jail until the day of his* execution. The governor fixed the time for the negro’s execution, but the people of Princess Anno county believed hanging was too mild and threatened to tear him to pieces when brought back for execution. To outwit tbe mob the sheriff spirited the negro out of Jail, put him on I ward the state fishery steamer, and made the unique preparations for a daylight execution. Only his assistants and the legal number of witnesses were present. *

RUSSELL SAGE'S CAREER CLOSED

Celebrated New York Financier Is Gathered in by Death. WAS NEARLY NINETY YEARS OLD His Final Decline Was Rapid, Owing to the Infirmities of Old Age. Some Points in the Career of the Famous Money Maker—Norcross’ Attempt to Kill Him with Dynamite. New York, July 24.—Russell Sage Is dead at his summer home in Lawrence, L. I. Enfeebled for the last few years by the infirmities of old

RUSSELL SAGE.

age. he passed away after a rapid final decline of several weeks. He was preparing with great pleasure for the celebration of his 90th birthday on Aug. 4, an event which ■was made memorable each year by the visits of the old residents of Lawrence and other intimate friemte, to whom the aged fiancler was always known as “Uncle Russell.” Never a Popular Man. While interest will be expressed here Mr. Sage's death, this city will show little regret. Sage was not a popular man; he was not even widely Respected. Perhaps there never has been a better summary made of Mr. Sage's status in the eyes of bls fellow citizens than that voiced some years ago by one of his enemies, who said: “He is feared by many, respected by some, admired by few, envied by none and loved by his wife.” The reason that Sage did not make any appeal to tbe sympathy or affection of bis fellow men was to be found in the fact that he was too much of a money-making machine and too little of a human being. He was like some remarkable bit of mechanism, constituted for the sole purjiose of scheming ways to make money and of putting them into effect, with little of average human warmth of heart, generosity of feeling or kindness of spirit. Points About the Financier. Here are some of the points about Sage and his career which will give a better understanding of the man: He was worth between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000. He would argue about the price of two apples or quarrel about the cost of a haircut. He was saved from bankruptcy by Jay Gould. He returned tbe compliment by saving Gould from financial ruin. He narrowly escaped Imprisonment for usury. He began money making at tbe age of 19. He had made $75,000 when he was 25. He served in congress between 1852 and 1856. Early tn his career he was a rum seller. His word was as good as most men’s bonds. He went to church every Sunday. He gaVe scarcely anything for public or charitable purposes. He appeared almost absolutely to lack nerves. He wore tbe cheapest of clothes and his tastes were of the plainest. Attempt on Sage’s Life. On Dec. 4, 1891, a stranger called at his office and presented a letter purporting to be from one of the Rockefellers. In reality It was a demand for $1,200,000. It stated that in case the demand was refused the stranger would drop the black bng he had In his hand, and presently an explosion that should annihilate the financier would take place. Sage refused, and the bag was dropped. The explosion occurred, and the office was wrecked. By some chance Sage was not killed. The stranger was, however. His head alone was not destroyed and later served to Identify him as a Bostontan named Norcross. Russell Sage was ft total abstainer most of his life and always of extremely temperate habits. He never smoked but once. In religion he was a Presbyterian. New York, July 26. The World says: “Every dollar of Russell Sage’s great fortune Is left to Mrs. Sage by a will made in 1901 except an insignificant t>equest made to Mrs. Fannie Chapin, of Oneida. N. Y., an only sister, who died two years ago.
