opinion was divided on the subject and
that he had no instructions regarding
1t. In his personal opinion, the ques-
ton was outside the scope of the con-
ference.
M. Bourgeois, head of the French
delegation, and Captain Scheme, OF the
Russian delegation, announced that in
the absence of instructions they could
not vote.
The resolution was her put and car
ried without opposition, but with reser-
vations on the part OF Great Britain,
France>and Russia.
The committee also adopted a resolu-
ton that the question of the determin-
alton of the rights and duties OF nel-
trail states should be placed upon the
programme of the future conference.
The plenary conference assembled
subsequently and accepted all the rec
concentrations of the committee.
The American delegation Is much
gratiied at the result. The delegates
could not have anticipated a practical
issue at this time. The maximum sue
cess possible was a full and free oppor-
tunity of placing the American view Ga
record and of continuing unbroken the
tradition of a century Of American pro-
test in behalf of progressive ideas in
international law.
This result, which at one time APP
peared impossible, owing to the almost
insuperable difficulties, is now triumph
antly attained.

WORLDS GREATEST |NF|DEL
Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll Passed
Away Suddenly.
A VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE
The End Came without warning, the
Only Person Present at the Time Be-
ing His Wire-His Last Words.

New York, July "a. Colonel Robert
@. Ingersoll died at his home, Walston-
on-Hudson, near Dobb's Ferry, today,
His death was sudden and unexpected,
and resulted from heart disease, from
which he had suffered since 1896. In
that year, during the republican ma
ional convention, he was taken i'll and
had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack of heart dis
ease, and was under the care OF physi.
clans constantly.
For the last three days, Mr.. Ingersoll
had not been feeling we'll. Last night
he was in better health and spent
portion of the evening playing billiards
with Walston H. Brown, his son-in.
law, and @. P. Farrell, his brother-in'
law and private secretary. He seemed
to be in better health and spirits when
he retired than he had been for several
davs.
This morning he rose at the usual
hour and joined the family at break
fast. He then said he had spent bad
night, but felt better. He had been
suffering from abdominal pains and
tightness about the chest. He did not
think his condition at all dangerous.
After breakfast he telephoned to DR..
Smith, his physician, who is at Bell
Haven. and told him of his experience
during the night. DR.. Smith told him
to continue the use of nitro. glycerine,
and that he would see him during the
day. Colonel lngersoll spent the morn
ing swinging in hammock and sitting
on the veranda with the members OF
his family. He said he was better and
had no pain.
AT 1880 he started to 60 up stairs.
On reaching the head of the stairs, Col.
onel lngesroll turned into his wife's
room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there. To-
gether they discussed what they would
have for luncheon, and Colonel Inger.
soil said he had better not eat much,
owing to the trouble with his stomach.
he seemed in good spirits then.
After talking for few minutes, Col.
onel lngersoll crossed the room and sat
down in a rocking chair. Mrs. Inger.
soil asked him how he was feeling, and
he replied "Oh. better" These
were his last words. A second after
they were uttred he was dead. The
only sign noticed by Mrs. Ingersoll was
that the whites of his eyes suddenly
showed. There vas not even sigh or
a groan as death came Doctors were
hastily called, but their verdict war
that death had come instantly.

Brings Sick Soldiers From Philippine
Regiments.
San Francisco, July 24.-The Uni
ted States transport Indiana arrived to-
day from Manila, the journey occupy
ing 80 days. The vessel was sent to
quarantine. The Indiana has 35S sick
soldiers on board and number of Red
Cross nurses. The sick soldiers were
taken from the various regiments, and
great many of them are suffering
from wounds received in battle.
Private Edward Crawford, Twenty
third infantry, jumped overheard while
insane, and was drowned. Among the
bodies brought back form the Philip
pines was that of Major Diggles, of the
Thirteenth Minnesota. Captain W.
Van Patent, assistant surgeon, First
Washington. and Second Lieutenant
Richards, First Montana, are among the
passengers.
After the quarantine officers had sat-
isfied themselves that there was no in
feCtious disease. on the Indiana, she
anchored off the Harrison street wharf.
The steamer has on board party OF
Filipino men and women for the Oma-
ha and other Eastern expositions, but
it Is possible that they may not be al
lowed to land. The crew OF the Indi.
ana is mostly composed of Filipinos,
among them being two graduates OF
the Manila university.
Among those who returned on the In.
diana was DR.. Day Wait, OF San Fran
cisco. According to him, Filipino
wounded in battle is insensible to pain.
One man had his eyes torn out by a
bullet and his jaw shattered. When
the wound was dressed he tore the
bandages off, and two or three days
later was breaking in horse, as though
there was no gaping wound in his
head. The doctor cites other similar
cases.
A bandit named Rias is giving the
soldiers at lilo llo great deal of trou.

native policemen were sent to confer
with him. Five of them were brutally
murdered, and one returned more dead

fornia boys made forced march OF 25
miles, hoping to capture the bandit,
but he escaped and was still carrying
on his depredations when the Indiana
sailed.
