ST. PETERSBURG, July 26.-(New York
World Cablegram-special Telegram.)-A
Russian and three sons started lately to
make a sledge journey from Archangel to a
village about $50 miles along the coast Of
the White sea. They took a considerable
supply Of ammunition, but a rainstorm SO
dampened 1t that 1t became useless. About
halfway on their journey hundreds Of wolves
appeared. The travellers, seeing that II they
remained together they would all fall vic
Tins to the ravenous beasts, decided TO cast
lots as to which should FIRST leave the sledge
and face them. The heroic sons refused to
permit their father to draw lot. The first
lot fell on the youngest and he jumped out,
knife in hand. but the delay was only short.
Again n lot was cast and the second son
jumped out. About forty wolves continued
the chase and, imploring his father 10 drive
quickly, the remaining devoted son jumped.
The three delays saved the father.

LONDON, July 26.-(New York World
Cablesram-special Telegram. )-There was
an extremely touching scene today when
Mrs. John w. Mackay met her son, Clar-
ence II. Mackay, at his arrival from New
York at her London residence, s Carleton
House Terrace. Mrs. Mackay, who had

III that at the time Of this writing it is
probable that the conveying Of her hus-

postponed until she is stronger. But the
decision lies with Clarence Mackay
The ballroom, in which the body now

nuns II is covered with beautiful fow-
ers, the perfume Of which is almost over
powering. Mrs. Mackays friends in many
instances send fresh flowers every day.
Under a special dlspensation, telegraphed
by the pope, mass has been celebrated in
the room every morning since the death.
His holiness also sent a sypathetic mes
sage TO the family. There will be a mass
for Mrs. Mnckay in the house simulta-
neously with the requiem in st. Mary $
church, Cadogan street, on Tuesday. The
body will not be removed to the church

Among the constant .nquirers since Mrs.
Mackay's bereavement has been Princess
Louise, King Edwards sister, who was
present at the Mackays' last party and
who wrote a most affeetionate letter to
the widow. Prince and Princess Chris

1t is understood that Mrs. Mackay has
inherited half Of her husbands entire for

the question as to whether the estate will
be liable to pay an estate duty of per
! cent to the British government. Thomas
Gibson Bowles, M. p, the foremost par

IRISH QUESTION UP AGAIN
Closing Days of Parliament Devoted
TO Hot Debates on the
Old Topic.

LONDON, July 2e.--The closing days Of
the session Of Parliament are witnessing
heated discussions Of tie ever-recurring
Irish questions. This week was especially
notable fer the nerceness OF the ACCUSE :
tions and recrimination banded across the
narrow forum Of the House OF Commons.
The resentment Of the Irish members was
stirred tn an unusual degree by the dlscov-
cry Of alleged secret documents OF the land
trust, organized by the landlords for. the
ayowed pgpose Of resisting threatening
combinations Of tenants and suppressing
the boycotting and intimidation instigated
by the United Irish league or otherwise.
The Irish leaders point out that Lord
Clonbrook and Lord Barrymore Of Barry
more (better known as Arthur Hugh
Smith Barry, chairman OF the National
Union of Conservative associations, who
are among the prime movers Of the trust
signed the same week, as privy councillors,
a proclamation from Dublin castle enforc-
ing the coercion act over half Of ireland.
All the trustees OF the trust the duke
of Abercorn, Lord Waterford, Lord Ash
town, Lord Clonbrook, Lord Barrymore and
two others, are privy councillors The
trust has long list of subscribers and
ample funds for fighting the tenants and
the league which is behind them.

Redmond, chairman OF the United Irish

of, Mr.. Redmond replied:

secure suficient strength to defeat the pur'
poses OF the government concerning Ire

On one important measure. however, th'

members often sided with the opposition
but on the final action they will not aban

will not vote for the separation OF re
