GENERALS DEGRADED.
De GaIIifet Takes Action Against
 Antf-Dreyfusar ardn.


 Anti-Dreyfusards.
 Paris, July 26.-The ministerial coun- ell has decided to dismiss General de Ne
 grier from the offices of army inspector
 and member of the superior council of
 war, thus reducing him to the mere rank of general of division. The motive for
 this exceptional measure as so far made public is that General de Negrier public ly used language incompatible with dis cipline. The anti-Dreyf yfusard journal.
 the Soir, attributes it to spite on the part of General de Gallifet because General de Negrier refused to attend the minis
 terial dinner party.
 The reason that General de Negrier was deprived of his high offices in the | army is that in the course of one of his tours of inspection he criticised the ac- | ton of the government and instructed the generals whom he was addressing to | tell the officers under them that this state of things could not last; that the Rennes l trial must be allowed to finish, but when that question was settled the superior council of war would call upon the gov ernment to protect the army against at tacks, and if the government didn't act the council of war would see to it. The minister of war, General de Galli- | fet announces that General d'Alstein has been appointed to the military com | mand of Paris, vice General Pellieux, who has been appointed to the command of the Forty fourth brigade, located at Quimper, department of Finistere. The | minister also states that Captain Villa neuve, who recently wrote a letter sym pathizing with the anti-Dreyfus Pro sessc- Syyeton- had been placed under rigorous arrest for 6G oAsE.

It will stand forth as an example of the self sacrifice and public consecrstion which have ever characterized the American soldier, In recognition thereof I shall recommend to congress that special medal of honor be given to the officers and soldiers of the Eighth army corps who performed this great duty voluntarily and snthusi- astically for their country"

CANAL INVESTIGATION.
No Prosecution of Superintendent
 AIdridge.

No criminal prosecutions can lie against former State Superintendent of Public Works Aldridge or State Engineer and Surveyor Adams or any other state employee based on the testimony taken by the canal improvement Investigating commission appointed by former Govern or Black. This is the conclusion of Wal lace Macfarlane and Austin G. Fox of New York city, who were appointed by Governor Roosevelt, and of Benjamin J.. Shove of Syracuse, who was appointed by former Attorney General Hancock to examine the testimony of the canal im- provement Investigating commission.
 The report of Messrs. Macfarlane and Fox, two Democratic attorneys, and the report of Mir. Shove, a Republican and former district attorney of Onondaga, were made public Wednesday, and both agree that there is nothing in the testi- mony of the Investigating commission which would warrent the commencement of prosecutions against any one. Judge Edwin Counts<man of Albany, who was appointed by former Governor Black to pass similar judgment upon that testi- mony, reported generally that prosecu- tions could lie against both Mir. Al dridge and Mir. Adams, though he did not specify in what direction.

 General Otis, in a dispatch under date of July 20, says that the press corre- spondents demanded permission to cable that official reports sent misrepresented conditions. This was denied.
 "They demanded the privilege to send without reservation facts found by them and their opinions. This was granted if public interests were not imperiled. The answer was not satisfactory, and they therefore sent by mail to Hongkong.
 General Otis says he is not conscious of sending misrepresentations, but thinks that his dispatches at times have been too conservative"

ROBERT @. INGERSOIL DEAD.
Famous InndeI Stricken With Apo t.- pIexy.

fnmous 1nndel strtcEen with Apo p1exy.
 Robert c. Ingersoll died suddenly of apoplexy at his summer house in Dobbs Ferry on Friday.
 The funeral took place Tuesday after noon from Walston-on- Hudson.
 No clergyman was present to conduct the services. There was no music, and there were no pallbearers. The body lay on a cot in the room where he died. It was enshrouded in white, just one red rose being placed on the breast. About the cot were banks of floral tributes sent by friends, wreaths and punches of bios soms.
 Mrs. Ingersoll sat beside her dead, and with her were her daughters, Mrs. Wal ston H. Brown and Miss Maud Ingersoll. They were very much agitated and wept almost continuously. Mir. and Mrs. c. F. Farrell were present, and Charles Broad way Rouss, Colonel Ingersoll's oldest friend, occupied a chair by the side of the bier. There were some 40 others present, and they remained standing throughout.
 John Clark Ridpath, historian and pro lessor, friend of the agnostic, but a Christian, read the poem which Colonel Ingersoll had regarded as the best ex- pression of his life endeavors.
 Major OrlSndo J. Smith, who for nine years was one of Colonel Ingersolrs clos est friends, read another of his poems, My Religion" which has become the acknowledged expression of agnosticism.
 Dr. John Elliott of New York read the funeral oration delivered by Colonel In gersoll over his brothers dead body. This concluded the short and simple services.
 MT. IngersUl was born in Dresden, N. Y., Aug. II, 1883, and was the son of a Congregational minister. It is stated that the Rev. MT. Ingersoll was somewhat lib- eral in his views and that this liberality antagonized the more orthodox members of his congregation. The son naturally agreed with his father. but even before he had passed out of boyhood he had gone much further upon the liberal road than Ingersoll senior ever dreamed of.
 MT. Ingersoll never denied that there was God. He used to say that the Bi- bic was a beautiful book and that he would give all he had if he could believe its promises. Upon the death of his broth CT he delivered a brief eulogy which was quoted by many as an indication that he was about to embrace Christianity, but this was not true.

THE ALASKA DISPUTE.
Hay Says a Modus Vivendi Is
 Practically Arranged.
CONCESSIONS BY UNITED STATES

| Canadians to Be Permitted to Import Good. Through a Port on the Lynn Canal - Will Retain Sovereignty. Renewing the Negotiations. Washington, July 26.-The acuteness
 of the Alaskan boundary situation has been so much relieved as a result of the
 conferences between Secretary Hay and
 the British charge, Mir. Tower, that those
 who have taken most active part in the
 negotiations feel they can leave the city for a summer vacation.
 One of the effects of renewing direct
 negotiations in Washington is to estab-
 fish that the Anglo American commission
 cannot reassemble in Quebec on Aug. 2. That date is only a week off, and as yet Great Britain has not named eommis-
 sioner to take the place of the late Lord Herschell. The purpose now is to secure
 some mode of settling the boundary ques- ton and thus clear the way for meet ing of the commission late in the fall. The strong language used by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Charles Tupper has not found expression in the official negotia- tions, which are proceeding with every outward evidence of good will. Secretary of State Hay has given the president and the other members of the cabinet to understand that an agreement upon a modus vivendi pending a perma- nent settlement is now practically as- sured.
 The basis of this modus vivendi is un- derstood to be the granting by the United States to Canada of the right of free en- try through port on the Lynn canal, the port to remain under the sovereignty of the United States.
 Much Brighter Prospects. Prospects for speedy amicable settle ment of the controversy are now believ- ed to be particularly bright, for it is un- derstood that the proposition for free port comes from Great Britain. This proposition was originally submit ted during the sessions of the high joint commission by the representatives of the United States. It was then acceptable to the British government, but was re- jected by the Canadians. That it is now brought forward by Great Britain is re- garded as signifying desire on her part to settle the whole matter without fur the, dcssy and without giving rise to any more friGtion between the Canadian au- thorities and the United States. It Is not known here outside the circle of diplomats engaged in the negotiations whether Canada has yielded and now consents to the free port arrangement, or whether Great Britain has decided the
 time has come when the colonial authori-
 ties shall no longer be permitted to stand
 in the way of a reasonable settlement of
 the long pending controversy.

Acceptable to Canada.

Ottawa, July 26.-What is now sug- gested as a basis of settlement of the Alaska boundary dificulty-the cession to Canada of a free port on the Lynn canal-would probably prove acceptable to the Dominion government. While the boundary question was before the joint high commission in Washington the nego- tiations narrowed down to this very prop osition, which was at first accepted by the American commissioners, but subse- quently they refused to agree to it, and pourparlers were not resumed on those lines
