CHICAGO. July 20-No friction de.
cratic National Committee to-day,
and the silver men who made such
beligereut assertions last night fail
ed to make them good to-day. Not
siugle warlike note was sounded
and NJ defiances were uttered either
by the men who demand that "l6 to
|" shall be the rallying cry in the
next campaign or by those who op-
pose it's adoption.
The only move made by the silver
men looking toward recognition by
the National Committee was during
the afternoon, when the Ohio Vallev
Bimetallic League was admitted to
the committee room, and a represen-
tatIve from Kentucky, acting as
spokesman, read the resolutions
adopted by the committee at their
meeting early in the day at the
Palmer House. These resolutions
demanded that planks be inserted in
the next Democratic national plat
form opposing trusts, opposing i'm
perialism,n - and adhering to the sill
yer ratio of 1a to l.
No action was taken other than to
extend a vote of thanks for the
leagues offer of assistance. Several
changes in rules were made and
campaign plans were generally dis
cussed. Seven States, including
Texas and West Virginia, were not
represented. The meeting adjourned
sine die.

ROBERT G.
INGERSOLL DEAD.
Passes Away at His New
York Home.
A VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE.
He Died as He Wished to. Painlessly and
without Warning-In "a Moment, Exis-
tence stopped and His Life Was Gone.

New YORK, July 21.-Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll died at his home, Walls
ton on Hudson, near Dobbs Ferry,
to-day. His death was sudden and
unexpected, and resulted from heart
disease, from which he had suffered
since 1896. In that year, during the
Republican National Convention, he
was taken i'll and had to return home.
He never fully recovered from the
attack, and was under the care of
physicians constantly.
For the last three days Mr. Inger.
soil had not been feeling well.
Last night he seemed to be in sbetter
health and spirits when he retired
than he had been for several days.
This morning he rose at the usual
hour and joined the family at break
fast. lie 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 tele
phOned to DR. Smith, his physician,
who is at Belle Haven, and told him
of his experience during the night.
DR.. Smith told him, he said, to con
tinue the use of nitro glycerine, and
that he would see him during the
day.
Col. Ingarsoll spent the morning
swinging in hammock, and sitting
on the veranda with the members Of
the family. He said he was better
and had no pain. At i2:30 O'Clock
he started to go upstairs.
On reaching the head of the stairs
Col. Ingersoll turned to his wife's
room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there, and
together they discussed what they
would have for luncheon. Col. Ing
ersoll said he had better not eat
much, owing to the trouble with his
stomach. He seemed in good spirits
then. After talking for few min
utes Col. Ingersoll crossed the room
and sat down in a rocking chair.
He leaned his head upon his hand,
which rested upon the back of the
chair. Mrs. Lngersoll asked him
how he was feeling, and he replied ;
"Oh, better"
These were his last words. A
second after they were uttered he
was dead. The only sign noticed by
Mrs. Ingersoll was that the whites
of his eyes suddenly showed. There
was not even a sigh or groan as
death came. Doctors were hastily
called, but their verdict was that
death had come instantly.
Death came to him as he had re-
Gently expressed a desire it should.
He often, in old times, said he wish
ed to die slowly with a full con
sciousness, so that he might tell
those about him how it felt. Recent
ly he expressed a change of desire
to die painlessly and without warn
ing.

CHICAGO, July 20.-Four thousand
people crowded into the Auditorium
Tonight, despite the sweltering heat,
to attend the political meeting given
under the auspices of the Chicago
platform Democrats.
1t was from first to last a silver
meeting, an antitrust and anLi-eX-
pansion meeting. All of the speak
ers save ex-Gov. Stone, of Missouri,
who was i'll and talked less than two
minutes, declared in favor of Is to |
and against the war in the Philip
pine Islands. The speech of Mr..
Bryan evoked great enthusiasm
among his hearers, especially when
he declared that the American Gov
ment should pursue in Luzon the
same policy as was pursued in
Cuba. The Philippines, he said,
came into our hands by accident of
war, and, being there, they should
have been treated on an American
principle and not on those practiced
by European Governments. The
policy of the United States, he
claimed, should have been to create
a republic in the Philippines and
say to all the world: Hands of
and let that republic live" His au-
dience was in sympathy with his
suggestions reg trding the Philip
pines and punctuated his speech
with cheers.

WOULD QUIT THE ISLANDS.
Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith on the
Philippine Question.

Philippine Question.
NEW YORK, July PA special to
the Times from Washington says:
Elk Secretary Hoke Smith was in
terviewed on the subject of the
campaign in the Philippines and
said:
Mine tenths of the people in our
section are opposed 10 continuing
the war. The sentiment all over the
South, [ believe, is overwhelming
against trying to retain the islands.
The Filipinos are fighting for lib
erty in the same way that we did a
hundred years ago and the American
people are already sick and tired of
the slaughter going on there.
II am not in favor of having our
troops leave the islands with an
armed force lined up against them,
but that would not be necessary. If
we would avow our intention of
leaving the islands to the natives
and abandoning our attempt at
sovereignty, the fighting would stop
at once. Then after we had assisted
in establishing a Government, if the
natives so wished, our troops could
properly be withdrawn. If the next
presidential campaign were to be
waged solely on the issue Of con-
tinuing the war, the opposing can.
didate would carry the country"
1t was suggested that the insur-
rection might be put down in the
meantime. The word "insurrection'
seemed to displease Mr.. Smith, who
replied:
There is no insurrectior. There
is simply an invading army trying
to conquer spirited people, and it
will be impossible, as | believe and
hope, 80 put them down. We will
no sooner think we have done il
than there will be another outbreak
President Mckinley entirely mis-
understood the sentiment of ouI
people on the question when he Wis
tied the South. He made a speech
in Atlanta before great tlrong, in
which he asked the citizens if they
wanted to see our soldiers turn tn ell
backs on the American flag in the
East and they answered no. What
else could they say when the ques'
tion was put in that way? We can
leave the Philippines without leav
ing the flag or running from al
enemy. am opposed to spreading

Virtue.
Beware of virtue which a man
boasts is his.-Eschenbach.
Virtue is like the polar star, which

Virtue does not consist in the alb

That virtue which requires to be

Goldsmith.
He who talks much about virtue
in the abstract, begins to be sus-

where there is great preaching there
will be little almsgiving.-Carlyle.

He Died Poor.

Regarding Col. Ingersoll's estate,
his brotber-in law and private sec
retary, G. p. Farrell, said:
"If he left will [ do not know
of it. Col. Ingersoll died poor. He
was a great money Garner, but a
poor money saver. For years and
years, perhaps thirty years, his in
come was immense. [ cannot recall
any lawyer who is his equal at earn
ing dollars. Others have made
larger fees at times, but no lawyers
fees that | know of have run SO high

He has not left any estate worth

law and lecturing. What he did
not spend on his loved ones he gave
