search of the steamer Hiawatha for the bodies members of the families of ex-Judge Dillon of New York and John Perry of Kansna City, drowned from In Bourgogne, has so far proved unavailing.

The Hiawatha, therefore, put into Canso. Before the fog shut down the Hiawatha discovered thirty-seven bodies, but of those for which she was searching. A large quantity of wreckage was found.

Only a very few of the bodies could be identifled with certainty, tho majority bearing only some article of wearing apparel or jowelry that may or may not serve as a means of identifleation. The steamer put into Canso to-day with George Clay, the manager, on board. He rofuses to impart information further than that given, and he has pledged all the ship's company to similar secrecy. W.

Ho says the Hiawatha will be despatched to sea again to-morrow to continue hor search, and that when it is concluded sho will return to Halifax, when a report, which will be carefully prepared, will be made publio.

RUSSELL SAGE EIGHTY- TWO. He Celebrates His Birthday by Hard Work at His Office. George Brown, a driver, 18 years old. of 216 East Forty-seventh stroet, has been ill with pneumonia since last Tuesday. It was decided last night to send him to a hospital, and an ambulance was called from Flower Hospital.

Dr. 8. N. Pallister WaS in charge. As the medical ward at Flower is undergoing repairs and cannot receive patienta.

Dr. Pallister took the man to Bellevue. On arriving there Dr. Pallister left the patient's name and history on a slip and started out of the off. Night Captain McHale followed him and asked for details, which Dr.

Pallister says were unnecessary and which he was unable to give. Thereupon, Dr. Pallister says. Halo refused to admit the case. Brown was again placed in the Flower ambulance.

Rowls and Barber responded. At the police station the two Bellevue doctors saw the Flower Hospital ambulance with Brown inside. While they were explaining the situation to Sergeant Quigley, Dr.

Pallister and his driver tried to put Brown in the Bellevue ambulance. Driver Stone objected. Sergeant Quigley was in a dilemma at this of authority and telephoned Deputy Superintendent Rickard at Bellevue to know what he should do. The answer came buck that under the circumstances Bellevue would not take the case. Drs.

Rowls and Barber got back into the ambulance and returned to the hospital. A few minutes elapsed when another call came to Bellevue from the same station horse. This time it was found that the doctor from Flower Hospital had left his, patient lying on the floor in the back room of the station. The floor had only recently been scrubbed and Was still damp. This time Brown was taken to Bellevue.

His condition was serious last night. Dr. Pallister says that on July 19 Flower Hospital received a letter from the Secretary of the Department of Charities saying that Bellevue would not receive patients from other hospitals without a history of the patient's case. Brown's case, the doctor eaya, does not come under this rule, as he was taken from his home direct to Bellevue. Dr.

Pallister also says that when Bellevue refused to admit Brown he telephoned Dr. Hornby, the Superintendent of Flower. asking for inatructions, and that Dr. Hornby told him to take the patient to the nearest police station and leave him. He says that the slip he handed the Bellevue, authorities gave the patient's name, age, residence, occupation, disease and the other information usually re- Russell Sage celebrated his eighty-second birthday yesterday.

He arrived at his office in the Bank of Commerce building a little earlier than usual and stayed there a little later than he does ordinarily, and did perhaps more work than ho does usually.

Mr. Sage is now living at Lawrence, L.

where he has his summer home. He drives daily to and from the railroad station behind two fine black colta, which he raised himself. These colte and two Maltese kittens are special pets of his. Mr. Sage does not believe in spending money when he doos not think it a matter of real necessity, and he refused recently to subscribe to the road -sprinkling service of his neighbors at Lawrence.

Test of the Consciences of Several Members of the Produce Exchange. A uniformed policeman went to the Produce Exchange yesterday with a summons in a civil proceeding for a member who did not happen to be on the floor. He decided to wait in the space just outside the gate. This gave jokers an opportunity. Selecting a victim, one of them would quietly give the tip to him that 'a policeman wanted him at the gate." The members "tipped" acted in various ways.

Most of them tried to appear unconcerned. though they got red in the face. A After apparently going over mentally all the sins they might be aceused of. they summoned their nerve and went to the gate. so preoccupied as to be scious of the grins of the jokers.

Do you want me they asked of the policeman. When this had happened half a dozen times, the policeman. who had been kept busy assuring anxious members that he didn't want them," discovered that he was assisting in a practical joke and departed. One member who was notified didn't gO to policeman at all. but was noticed leaving the floor by the back way.

WE WILL GET ALONG WITHOUT MEAT. An Artificial Means of Producing Albumen Said to Have Been Discovered. Special Cable. Despatch to THE SUN. LONDON, Aug.

despatch to the Chronicle from Vienna says that Dr. Leo Lillienfeld of that city has demonstrated to the Chemical Congress, in session in that city, the discovery of 8 method of producing artificial albumen, which is absolutely identical with natural albumen, which hitherto, it has been believed, could ouly be produced by organic means.

despatch to the Standard from Moscow, referring to the decrease ordered in the Russian naval exponditure, says that it is connected with tho British naval vote and the successes of the United States. Russia already has a number of ironclads building in American yards, and belief in the Anglo-American understanding still prevails in Russia. Under the circumstances it is conceivable that Russia is unwilling to carry too many eggs in one basket. It is probable that the orders for Russian battleships which it was intended to place in America will now be placed in France. It appears, however, that nothing defnite has yet been done.

When I'd say, Dexter, look, out for your he would jump the bit and I would have to steady him. The children all over the Heights, along the Harlem River and in the Park all knew him. They would shout out. 'Hello.

Vermont, always wanted to see that horse. and contemplated taking the team of six-inhand up to Vermont in the fall. I was going to bring my family along and meant to drive through the Berkshire Hills and the Green Mountains of Vermont. had planned to stop at every large town and show them Dexter. When I left my native State fifty -four years ago the Morgan horses were the most noted in the country.

Vermont at that time was noted for her fine horses, maple sugar, handsome women and well-proportioned men. Kentucky and California, robbed Vermont's horses of little of their glory, and I was anxious to gO back with Dexter to show him to the Vermonters. Twenty years AgO I owned the sire of Dexter, who was the sire of three others of my team. He was called Fuller Wilkes. and was sired by old George Wilkes.

Then made up my mind to send him to Vermont to cross him with the Morgan horses, saying to myself. I'll have a dozen horses that will beat the It took me twenty years, but I recovered all the glory the Vermont horses ever lost. Now. I challenge the world to produce six horses to beat the record of mine. I never knew Dexter to do a mean thing.

I never knew him to attempt to kill a chicken. I know of hundreds of women who will miss him. I think the person who will miss him most will be a lady who is 82 years old, and who has been thousands of miles behind that horse. He will be missed. yes he'll be missed.

If there is a horse heaven, he'llgo there. He was good. He died an ensy. death. It was about 9 o'clock when I started out with Dexter and his mate.

Wilkes. My man was with me. We were about half way over the bridge when Dexter threw his head up two or three times and then fell. I jumped from the wagon and patted hint on the neck. I talked kindly to him.

He raised his head up and looking me square in the eyes, whinnied. just as it he said, Good-by, old Poor follow. I felt like crying over him right there. My man turned his head away and wiped his eyes. Dexter's body was taken away by the city authorities.

4. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue to-day made ruling great interest to the beet sugar manufacturers of the West, in that it practically exempts them from taxation under the section of the War Revenue act imposing a tax of one-quarter of 1 per cent. on gross receipts in excess of $250,000 per year of corporations engaged in the business of refning sugar. He decides that Every person, firm, corporation, or company carrying on or doing business of refining sugar" applies only to those buying the raw sugar and refining it, and not to those who manufacture raw sugar and also refine it. Thus the beet sugar corporations, which produce refined sugar from beets, and some, factories in Louisiana which make a low grade of refined sugar from cane, are under this decision exempt from the tax, even though their yearly gross recoipta are in excess of $250.000.

This decision iN somewhat at variance with the Jong-established rulings by the department with regard to closely related commercial occupations, but the diMeulty in drawing the dividing line between manufacturers of raw sugar and those who turned out both raw and refined sugars was an important factor in its determination.
