BRYAN AT LONDON.

NebrAskan's Text, "A Noble Life Bet.
 ter Than Death on RattlenelA."
 LONDON, July 26.-William J. Bry- an made magnificent speech at the luncheon given by Lord Weardales' reception committee to the delegates to the 1nterparliamentary union in the refreshment room of the house of lords.
 The lord chancellor presided at the luncheon, and many distinguished statesmen and diplomats were pres ent.
 Mir. Bryan chose as his text "A No ble Life Is Better Than Death on the Battlefield' and described the glories of peace as far greater than those of war. He was in fine voice, and pro- longed applause greeted him when he sat down.
 Among those present at the lunch con besides delegates of the union were Mir. Reid, American ambassador; M. Cambon, French ambassador; M. Benkendorff, Russian ambassador, and others of the diplomatic corps; Speak CT Lowther of the house of commons, Secretary Gladstone. Irish Secretary Bryce and Prince Hilkof of Russia.
 The union finished its work by adopt ing the following resolution after . long debate:
 "The Interparliamentary union, now assembled in London, expresses the view that the second Hague confer ence should:
 "First.-By treaty define contraband of war as being restricted to arms, mu- nitions of war and explosives.
 "Hecond.-Reassert and confirm the principle that neither a ship carrying contraband of war nor other goods aboard such ship not being contraband of war may be destroyed.
 "Third.-Aff1rm that even between belligerents private property should be as immune at sea as 1t is on land."
 The conference also adopted reso- lution in favor of the discussion by The Hague conference of means to cut down the 'fntolerable expenditure on armaments."

RUSSELL SAGE BURIED.

Body of Great Money Lender Laid Away In 0akwood Cemetery. TROY, N. Y., July 28.-The body of Russell Sage. fnancier and multimil- lionaire, was consigned to Mother Earth in Oakwood cemetery. The same simplicity that characterized the de- ceased's life was apparent in the trans. ter of the body to Its last resting place. The body arrived in this city on the Saratoga special at 13O o'clock and was taken in charge by J. w. Burns Sons. The body reposed in a Santo Domingo copper coffin and was car ried to Troy in private car attached to the train. Another private coach of the train contained the mourners and members of the funeral party, number ing twenty.
 The funeral cortege proceeded from the Union station to Oakwood, where large number of persons had gather ed at the Sage family lot After brief service read by Rev. pr. Andrew Hageman of New York the body was committed to the ghoul proof vault of chilled steel ready for its reception. The grave Is beside that.of MEy Sages first wife. The words which are to be engraved on the Sage monument are, "I have done the best that I could by the light of the day"
 It will be difficult. should any band of criminals make the attempt, to steal the body of Russell Sage, as that of A. T. Stewart was stolen years ago. Incased in dramatically sealed cop per envelope. the coffin was placed in chilled steel case four inches thick, riveted with steel bolts and locked with lock which can never be opened.
 This steel case weighs three tons and Is seven feet eleven inches in length, two feet six inches In depth and three feet six inches in width. Twenty men found it task to-lift 1t.
 The cost of this steel shroud Is said to have been $22 900.

She hugs the knowledge to her heart and 1t consoles her though a thousand ob- stacles-even death itself-intervene to separate them. But to feel she has wasted the treasure of her life in re- turn for cool friendship. is agony. Oh. 1t was cruel-cruel!" she repeated.

Story of Present Mrs. Thaw's old
 Friend-Accussd Acted Like
 Fiend, She Says.
 NEW YORK, July 26.-A story oi i'll treatment by Harry Thaw of Eve. lyn Nesbit in Paris, given by mas. seuse, Anna Crane, to Assistant Dis trict Attorney Turnbull, has caused sensation here.
 Miss Crane says that she was sent by Stanford White to Paris in 1904 to bring Evelyn Nesbit home, and 1t was then she saw her practically a prisoner in her apartments, black and blue from bruises Inflicted by Thaw.
 Evelyn Nesbit was locked up in a room in fear of her life while he kept company with other women in the French capital, she declares.
 Miss Crane, who has known Evelyn Nesbit for years and used to call her Florence, says that White was very kind to her, but that her troubles be- gan as soon as she met Thaw.
 When I reached Paris,' declaras Miss Crane, '.there had been dread ful row between Thaw and Miss Nes- bit Florence begged me not to leave her, saying, Harry will kill me- He gave her the very worst of treatment and was a perfect monster. be- lieve him to be a lunatic and 50 did Florence. She showed me the bruises on her arms, and saw him try to choke her. He left the marks of his fingers on her throat.
 He turned on me when interfer- ed and. although I was comparative ly old woman, showered blows on me-"
 While on the way back to the Unit ed States" said Miss Crane, Evelyn made up her mind to bring suit for breach of promise and assault. Whites automobile was at the pier for her, and few days later Abe Hummel was consulted"
 Mrs. William Thaw has thus far failed utterly in her efforts to per suade her son to conform to her ad- vice and withdraw his opposition to plea of insanity.
