New York, March 27.-At the meet

Sage will, by courtesy, remain a mem

decision to discontinue his connection
with the executive committee marks
his retirement from business.
Mr.. Sage will be 90 years old this
spring and, while his faculties remain
remarkably Clear his physical health
is not such as to permit him to enter
into the details Of the management Of
the railroad properties IN which he is
g large stockholder. He will retire

which he has been associated over a

Mr.. Sage has not been at his office
for more than a month. He came down
during the winter, when money rates
were hovering around l25, and those
who dickered with him for loans say
that he exhibited. his .old-time shrewd-
ness. The excitement of these trips,
however, weakened him, and his Wis

Wright s Mission to Toxic Is Said
to Be with Transfer of
Islands in View.
journal Special Service,


ii Washington, March 27.-Altho Sec
rotary Taft saw fit recently to deny the
report shat Japan had made overtures
to the United States for the acquisition
Of the Philippines, corroborative evil
dence is at hand that the Japanese gov
eminent has been DESTROYS of opening
negotiations to that end and when for
mer Governor Wright Of the Philippines
goes to Japan as the first American am
bassador to that country, he will be
empowered by this government to en-
ter upon further consideration Of that
proposition.
: In fact, it is said on what ought to
be unimpeaohable authority, that the
selection of Governor Wrigh to repre-
sent the Roosevelt administration at the
Japanese emperor's court was clearly
caused by this situation.
President Roosevelt, according to re-
port. desires to dispose Of the Philip
pines problem before the end Of his

our ownership Of the Islands as "pos-
Sessions, not parts, +" Of the United
States, is not acceptable to the Amer
lean people and will eventually mean
much larger expenditures upon our
home government than have been made
even thus far.
It is not understood, however, that
the administration at present contem-
plates going to the extent of selling the
Philippines for so much money Amer
leans recently returned from the orient
say that there is no doubt on the other
hand that Japan is extremely anxious
to gain acquisition of the Philippines,
and has made representations to the
United States that an amicable agree
ment could be formulated by the terms
of which Japan would. become the
sponsor for the integrity of the Phil
torate exercised by the United States,
Great Britain and Japan. Just what
form the negotiations would, OF may
assume, is conjecture. and these steps,
it is understood, are to be left in the
hands of Ambassador Wright. 8.

CASTELLANE DIVORCE
DELAYED BY POLITICS.

Paris, March 27.-The adjourned
hearing of the Castellane divorce pro-
ceedings, set for March 81, has been
postponed until April %, owing to the
absence of the Countess Anna at Bar
ritz and to the fact that Count Boni
is engaged in an electoral campaign.
The delay is really due more to the de-
sire of the parties to decide upon the
business and domestic phases of the
case before the court proceeds with the
