CHEERS FOR The RUSSIANS.
CONFERENCE OF THE iNTERPAR.
LIAMENTARY UNION MEETS
IN LONDON.

London, July 24-The fourteenth
conference of the Interparliamentary
union was opened in the royal gallery
of the palace of Westminster during
the day. Five hundred adherents Of
international peace from all the par
liaments OF Europe, as we'll as sew
eral of those Of the Western hem
isphere, were present. The American
representation was headed by Con-
gressman Richard Bartholdt, while
William J. Bryan occupied a seat on
the platform
Lord Weardale opened the congress,
his preliminary sentences of welcome
being specially addressed to the Rus
sian delegates, whereupon the dele
gates rose in a body and, turning to-
ward the delegation of the late parlia-
ment, cheered them to the echo.
Premier Campbell-Bannerma in re-
ply, especially greeted the members of
the Russian parliament present and
also paid tribute to Emperor Mich
Olas, who had done so much towards
the enhancement of ideas of peace. 1t
could, he thought, be safely assert ed
that the Russian parliament, although
dissolved, was sure to again come into
existence. Then the premier, in a
sudden excess of enthusiasm, shouted: i:
Long Live the Duma.
LA duma est morte! Vive Ia duma.'
(The Russian parliament is dead.
long live the Russian parliament).
The delegates rose to their feet and
storm of cheering continued for a
couple of minutes.
In conclusion the premier said he
hoped that at the next peace confer.
ence at The Hague a general act
would be drawn up providing for the
submission of all questions of dispute
without restrictions to The Hague
tribunal for the universal good of hu-
manity.
Then came the most dramatic mo-
ment of the opening of the session.
Professor Kovalevsky, member of
the Russian lower house, in a voice
somewhat broken with emotion an.
nounced the necessity for the with
drawal of the members of the Russian
parliament. The announcement was
met with a storm Of protests and
shouts of NO. NO." and attempts on
every side to induce the Russians to
remain, but the latter insisted that
they no longer had any Official status
and must leave England for Russia at
once and return to the battlefield"
The Russian delegates then left the
hall and the conference settled down
to business. But the incidents at
tending the dissolution Of the Russian
parliament were for some time dis
cussed farzmore eagerly than the busi-
ness Of the conference

Fire at 2 o'clock this afternoon
totally destroyed two ware
houses, on the sidetrack Of the
Great Northern railway, together
with their contents, enta,ling a

house belonging to Major Bros,
wherein was stored two carloads
of baled hay, which had in some
unknown manner caught fire.
An alarm was turned in and the
members OF the fire department
responded promptly but the fire
had gained much headway and
rapidly spread to the adjoining

a mass of flames.

DEATH NOT UNEXPECTED.
Russell Sage Had Been Failing for
Several Months.

Russell Sage Had Been Failing for
Several Months.
New York, July 24.-The death of
Russell Sage, the veteran financier,
which occurred at his summer home
at Lawrence, L. l., Sunday afternoon,
was not surprise to those in close
touch with the family. Mr.. Sage had
been failing for long time. He was
very feeble all the spring and Mrs.
Sage and others tried to get him to
leave the city and 60 to his summer
home as soon as winter disappeared,
but he preferred the city. He was
finally taken to Lawrence on July 8 In
an automobile by DR.. Edward Janeway
and the latter's son, DR.. Theodore C.
Janeway.
For the last three weeks Mr.. Sage
had several sinking spells. It was
thought that he would die on Friday
night. Both Doctors Janeway were
sent for. Oxygen was administered
and Mr.. Sage's life was thus pro-
longed. All Saturday his condition
was critical, with occasional moments
of unconsciousness. Sunday morning
he frightened up considerably. He
was propped up in his bed on the sec
ond floor of the house and gazed out
on the ocean. About 1880 p. m. he
grew faint and sank back in bed. In
a twinkling he was unconscious. DIR.
J. Carl Schmuck, the local physician
attending Mr.. Sage, sent hurry call
to this city for DR.. Theodore Janeway,
who went to Lawrence as fast as his
automobile could travel He reached
the house some time before Mr. Sage.
expired at 4:SO O'Clock.
Although Mrs. Sage was at her huss
bands bedside when he passed away
there were no farewell words spoken,
for Mr.. Sage did not know he was
dying. He closed his eyes as he had
done many times before when he was
weary and sank slowly to sleep.

ADOPT ADDRESS TO PEOPLE
MEMBERS OF RUSSIAN LOWER
HOUSE HOLD A Meeting AT
VlBORG, FINLAND.

Viborg, Finland, July 24.-Several
hundred members of the lower house
of the Russian parliament met here
and after prolonged debate adopted
a manifesto in reply to the czar's ac-
tion dissolving parliament. The text
of the address is not yet available,
but enough Is known to warrant the
assertion that it amounts to an appeal
to the nation to seize the liberty which
the government has denied. It con.
tains a protest against the illegal dis
solution of parliament and appeals to
the people to refuse to pay taxes, re:
cruit the army or to recognize the
issue of a government loan.
Just prior to the adoption of the
address the governor of -Viborg ar
rived at the Hotel Belvidere and an
nOunced that he had been ordered by
the governor general of Finland i'm
mediately to close the meeting of the
members of parliament and to use
military force if necessary to disperse
them. He informed M. MourOmtself
that such meetings would not be al
lowed to be held anywhere in Fin
land
At the last moment the Constitu-
tional Democrats, under the influence
of the threat of martial law, swung
into line with the radicals and the
address to the country was adopted
with practical unanimity. The Poles
will adopt a. separate statement
