Thought Due to Money Troubles.

Financial troubles are believed to have
been the cause of Lorimer's suicide, as he
told the housekeeper three weeks ago
when he engaged his present apartment,
that he had been out of work for some
time. Two days ago Lorimer dismissed
his valet. q
Wright Lorimer was born in Dana.
Mass, and was educated at Colgate Uni
versity, after which he went to England
and took q course in English literature
at oxford University. On his return to
this country he decided to go on the stage
and became a member of the Dearborn
Stock Company in Chicago as utility man.
Lorimer first became widely known in
the production of "The Shepherd King,
and in recent years has appeared in sew
eral other plays. He was member OF
the Players' and Lambs clubs.

NEW YORK, December 2.-Wright
Lorimer.- the well known actor, commit

was thirty-eight years of age. and be-
gan his stage career in Chicago several
years ago. He was best known in the
production of '"The Shepherd King"
which he wrote with Arnold Reeves.
Lorimer had made a careful plan to
commit suicide, as his body was found
lying on the kitchen floor with the head
stuffed in an open gas oven and pressed
against the open gas jets The gas jets
in the room also were turned on. Pre-
cautions had been taken to prevent the
escape of gas into the hall or through
the windows. The actor had been dead
an hour when found.
LOrimer left three letters, two of which
were addressed to business associates.
and the third one addressed to Friends -
which was suppressed by the police until
the coroner had taken charge of the
body.

Holds View Unfounded.

There cannot be any doubt that this
view is unfounded. The Russian gov
ernment and its representatives abroad
cannot but fulfill the requirements of the
Russian law contained i'm paragraphs 21:;
to 2;55 of the passport statute, and para
graph Sl3 and the following ones of the
law on social rights, as long as these re-
main in force On the other hand, the
question of the admission or non-admis
sion into Russia of categories Of foreign
ers belongs to the province of internal
legislation upon the general principles OF
International law as well as on the
strength OF article L of the treaty of 1852.
Thus the United States has enacted
very strict regulations seriously limiting
the right of entry of foreigners, and there
is no doubt that the federal government
would ward off any attempt to dispute
the legality of those regulations from an
International point of view.

HEAVY INCREASE IN DUTIES

CATION OF 1882 has been introduced into

other signers representing the octobrist
and nationalist parties, which control the
majority of the duma.
Ine Dill proposes to raise existing Rus
sian duties by 100 per cent and also TO
impose duty of 100 per cent on articles
which are admitted free under the pres

sinons, the bill proposes also to levy dou-

tonnage tax.
Increase in Tonnage Tax.
Should the present American tonnage
tax be raised to the disfavor OF the Rus
sian vessels. then the Russian tonnage
tax will be correspondingly increased.
1t is said that the schedules are to
be applicable to all countries which do
not grant to Russia the most favored
CATION.
The proposal will be submitted to =
financial commission.
| The necessity for the proposed leeisla-
tion is explained in an accompanying
declaration, in which it is stated that
the regular American tariff schedules
| which will he applicable to Russian
goods at the expiration of the treaty
of commerce and navigation of 1882
will be so high as to have a prohibitive
character. and that they greatly exceed
the Russian normal tariff and naviga-
| ton taxes, which would be naturally
applicable to American goods in the
absence of the treaty.
Influences Foreign Affairs.
The province Of foreign affairs lies out
side the competence of the duma, and
| treaties are not subject to its approval nor
is the minister for foreign affairs answer
able to the duma on the state of foreign
relations. Nevertheless the duma exer-
| cises through the budget an influence on
foreign affairs and relations.

formal steps taken by the President of

The abrogation of the treaty between
Russia and america has d direct connec-
ton with the anti-Russian agitation which
