WILL. FIGHT SAGE WILL.
Nephew, Dissatisfied With Legacy, to
Make Contest.


Make Contest.
Troy, N. Y, Aug. 1-James H. Sage.
a nephew of the late Russell Sage, is
authority for the statement that the
will of the deceased millionaire will be
contested. He made the following
statement
Il have made up my mind to get
that to which as a blood relative of
Russell Sage | am entitled, and If /
don't get 1t it will be because there is
no legal way of doing SO. There is no
truth In the report that a test case will
be instituted by one Of the heirs and
that In case of failure the remaining
heirs will make up the loss which
would necessarily ensue In accordance
with that clause of the will which di-
reefs that In case of contest the party
concerned shall forfeit his or her be-
quest. Such a course would be Illegal
Il am Of the opinion that during
Russell Sage's last few years there
was undue influence brought to bear
upon him, which caused him to leave
the bulk of his fortune to his wife. If
Russell had left any children and the
money had been bequeathed to them
none of the heirs would have even
thought of getting more than the $685.
600. but as 1t is for one shall make
an attempt to get what l ought to
have. I do not know what the other
heirs intend doing nor do I care

stroyers lying in the harbor opened fire
on the barracks. This fire was answer
ed from the third story window of the
barracks with machine guns and rifles
The torpedo boats and the destroyers,
which were lying close to the shore,
were subjected to such hot fire from
the barracks that their crews were
driven below decks. They finally
steamed out and joined in the bonn
bardment with the cruisers This sea
attack was in cooperation with at
tacks by Cossaeks and infantry from
the land side, which continued an entire
day.

History of Svsabore.
The Sveaborg fortress is on one of
group of seven islands southwest of
Helsingfors The fortress was laid out
in 1T49 by the Swedish admiral, Count
Whrenwerd, whose body is buried in
side the walls. All the islands are con-
nected by pontoon bridges, and there
is an iron bridge leading into the Fin
nish capital itself. The Skatudden
fortress covers an island one-half mile
long and a quarter mile wide. The is
land is linked to the mainland by a
stone bridge. Skatudden is three miles
from Sveaborg. Both fortresses form
the main defense of Helsingfors and
are always strongly garrisoned. Svea-
borg was bombarded by combined
French and British fleet in the Crimean
war.
The government excuse for the mu-
tiny is that the men became enraged
because brandy was denied them. But
the reyolutionists assert that the real
cause is dissatisfaction with the gov
ernment itself.

HEARST TO MAKE RUN
viii Try For New York Governor
ship on the independence
League Ticket.
NOT WAITING ON DEMOCRATS

Contest to Be Made Without Regard
to Party,s Action on Endorsement.
State Committee Issues Call For Con-
vention to Meet In New York City
on Sept. IL.
New York, Aug. lone thing was
settled beyond question, it is believed,
by the meeting Of the state committee
Of the Independence league held In the
Gilsey House-that is, that William
r. Hearst will run for the office of
governor this fall and his candidacy
will not depend in any degree what
ever on the action of the regular Demo
cratic state convention. That conven-
ton may indorse him or it may refuse
to fndorse him, but if he be alive on
that day Mr. Hearst will be voted for
on Nov. 6 next.
Committee Calls on Hearst
That Mr.. Hearst would run as an in
dependent nominee without respect to
the attitude of the Democratic conven-
ton is what had been believed all
along by those persons who had paid
attention to the trend of the Hearst
sentiment in this state. The proceed
ings IN the leagues meeting left no
room for any one to doubt that such
would be the policy followed The
state committee Of the independence
league formulated an address to Mr..
Hearst demanding that he put himself
at the head of the independent move
ment and issued call for a state con-
vention to meet in this city on Tuesday,
Sept. IL. A full state ticket will be
put in the field at that time.
Say Hearst Will Accept.
AS to Mr.. Hearst's acceptance of an
independent nomination no question
is raised in any quarter. Leaders in
the Independence league, who are In
position to know his views, say posi-
lively that he will run. They are
equally positive in declaring that re-
fusal by the regular Democratic state
convention to tndorse him Will not
affect his plans in the least The fact
Is the whole programme Of the Hearst
leaders has been framed along inde-
pendent lines-on the supposition that
Mr.. Hearst, as the leagues candidate
for governor, would have to .'go it
alone" Many, If not a majority, of the
leaders seem inclined to believe that he
will be stronger with the voters run
ming thus than he would be If indorsed
by the Democratic convention
