The Philadelphia.

VALLEJO, July S.-Work on the
flagship Philadelphia at Mare Island
has been practically suspended and
workmen are now replacing parts
which were torn out to prepare for the
of the new electric ammu-
milton hoists. The cause of this sud-
den change of plan is not known, the
orders from Washington having sim
ply had the effect noted. There were
several rumors on the yard concern
ing the matter. though they could not
be authenticated. One was to- the eff
feet that the Philadelphia was to- be
put out of commission. but this is be-
lieved to be erroneous. Another ru-
NOR stated the cause to be n conflict
of authority between the construction
and equipment bureaus in Washing
ton. This probably grows out OF the
fact that the electrical plant in war
vessels has been under the control of
the equipment bureau, and the con-
struction bureau has had charge OF
other matters, including the maya
zines and ammunition hoists. The diff
ference is trivial, and will not cause
much delay. if, in fact, il makes any
trouble whatever.

Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll recently died
at his home. Walston- on Hudson, near
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted from heart
disease, from which he had suffered since
1896. In that year, during the Republi-
can national 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 physicians
constantly.
Robert Green Ingersoll was born in
Dresden, N. Y, August IL, 1888. His
father was Congregational clergyman of
such broad views as to cause dissepsion
between himself and his parish. The sons
boyhood was spent in Wisconsin and Hin

After studying law he opened an office
in Shawneetown, ILL.,, with his brother
Eben, who was subsequently member OF
congress. Both engaged in politics, but

in 1857 they removed to Peoria. In 1860
Robert was a Democratic candidate for
congress but was defeated. In 1862 he be-
came colonel of the Eleventh Illinois cav
airy, and year and half later united
with the Republican party. In 1896 he

fused the post of minister to Germany.
He took part in numerous noted law suits
in all parts of the country, and was coun-
sci of the so-called star-route conspirators,
whose trial ended in acquittal in 1883. He
was well known by his books, pamphlets
and speeches directed against the Chris
