that dictatorship must come soon.
Douna Members Flee.
After hurried secret conference of
opposition members of the douma 1t
was decided on account of the posi-
bility that the meeting of the house
here might be broken up and the MEM
bers arrested to go Immediately to Fin
land and decide upon the future course
to be pursued. Small parties of mem
bers left by train.
The Tauride palace, where the house
of representatives has met, was closed
and guarded by police, who refused
admission except to the president and
vice president of the house.
Two hundred members of Russias
outlaw parliament gathered at the
Hotel Belvedere, Yiborg, Finland,
awaiting prominent members of the

which will be adopted a manifesto
that the people be summoned and that

Among the members at Viborg are NJ
Muromtseff, president of the house;
fessor Grodeskul, its vice presidents,
and other officers.
Parties to Get Together.
The meeting will be called to order
as a regular session of parliament.
The dining room of the hotel, where
the members are assembled, is in great
contrast to the imposing surroundings
of the Tauride palace. 1t is crowded
to suffocation with excited and per-
spring deputies, who are gathered ac-
cording to party affiliations and in
formally caucusing and debating tao
tics and discussing the text Of their
appeal, for which a general drafting
commission is now being chosen.
There Is a strong possibility that all
parties will come to an agreement on
the appeal, as the Radicals are not
disposed to insist on an overviolent
manifesto demanding the immediate
summoning of a constituent assembly

Mr.. Sage was married twice, first
in 1S4l to Miss Maria Winnie daughter
of Moses L. Winnie of Troy. His wife
died in New York city in 1867, and two
years later he was married to Marga-

Many Reports of Death.
1t is generally believed that Mr.
Sage's vast interests will not be seri-
ously affected by his death. Several
times within the past few years ru-
mors have been set afoat of Mr..
Sage's death. On one such occasion,
In June, 1899, Mr. Sage said, 81 sup

The fortune of Russell Sage has been
variously estimated, but no one knows
its exact proportions, as it is not so in
vested as to be within the view of out
siders. 1t will undoubtedly exceed
$100,000,000, but those in the best posi-
ton to estimate 1t say that it will not
go far either way from that figure and
will be found to lie chiefly in cash,
bonds and gilt edged securities.
Russell Sage had no children, and
his relatives have never been led to
believe that at his death they would
share In the distribution Of his great
fortune. He has never personally done
any notable charities nor contributed
to an appreciable extent TO charitable,
educational or philanthropic purposes.
But each year he set aside large
sum, which his wife dispensed along
those lines

RIO MEETING OPENS
Conference of American Repub-
lies Is Begun In the Brazil
ian Capital.
TO DISCUSS DRAGo DOCTRINE

Declaration That No Nation May Use
Force to Collect Debts to Receive At
tention at PanAmerican Gathering.
Will Attempt to Secure Arbitration
Agreement.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, July 23.-The
third conference of American repub-
lies and the most important one yet
has opened in this city. Seventeen
American republics, including the
United States. are represented
All the delegates from the United
States are here except Secretary of
State Root, who is expected Thursday.
Several momentous questions will be
discussed by the conference, but the
one which is the weightiest of all is
what is known as the Drago doctrine,
so named after its exponent, DIR. Luis
M. Drago, a learned publicist Of Ar
gentina
Reduced to its simplest terms, this
doctrine is a declaration that no nation
has right forcibly to undertake to
collect debts due to its citizens by an
other nation
The proposition before the pan
American conference, which it is asked
to submit to the great Hague tribunal.
is to what extent, if at all, the use of
force is justifable in the collecting of
such debts.
Question of Vital Interest.
Naturally the question thus pro-
pounded is of the most vital interest to
every debtor nation and most of all to
the practically defenseless republics. of
South and Central America.
The Drago doctrine is said by pub
licists to be merely an expansion of
the Calvo doctrine, dear to the hearts
of Latin-Amerlcans but never engraft-
ed upon international law. In its es-
sence that doctrine was a declaration
that any claim against a nation by a
foreign citizen or even a foreign gov
ernment must be adjudicated by its
own courts and under no circumstances
can be a proper subject of diplomatic
representation or negotiation
Reorganization of the bureau Of
American republics so as to greatly en-
large the usefulness of that institution
Is the very first article Of the pro-
gramme. 1t is proposed to erect a
magnificent building in Washington
for its accommodation.
To Secure Peace Pact.
A strong effort is to be made to bring
about unanimous action of the Ameri-
can republics to agree to settle by ar
bitration all future disputes arising
between them and to endeavor to have
the approaching Hague conference ap-
ply this principle generally to the ma
tions of the world
With only six weeks of life before 1t,
for it is specially provided in the pro
gramme that the conference must ter
inmate not later than Sept l next, it
is also limited to thirty meetings, and
it is probable that not even this num-
Der will be held, because the delega-
tions must have time to deliberate pri-
vately over projects that are of special
interest to them.
