of Col. IngersOlIs Rody.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Walston, the home
at Dobbs Ferry where Robert G. Ingersoll
died. was a quiet place to-day. The body
of the dead agnostic lay on the flower COW

sat near. all the others kept away. Three
hundred letters were receivd to-day from
all over the country, most Of them from
intimate friends. Among those who sent
letters were ]. H. Manley. of Maine; Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who wrote a beau
tiful letter of hope and sympathy; Octave

cloth-covered coffin without ornament or
handles of any kind, and without even
name plate. 1t Is simply a box in which
the dead may lie at rest during the journey
to the crematory. The body Of the dead
agnostic will be transferred from the bier
to the coffin at a. m. Whenever the widow
is ready, the hearse will start down the
long hill that has been the joke Of Colonel

from thousand of George Grey Barnard,
the sculptor, and the dead mans friend.
This Is only temporary, but 1t will satisfy
Mrs. Ingerson until a finer one can be made.
She is determined that the ashes shall, not
be away from her a single moment.
Whatever was written by Colonel Inger-
soil before his death, and is still unpub-
lished. will not be printed.

New York. were at the Department Of JUS
tice to-day and had a conference with At
torney General Griggs in regard to the
status Of the Porto Rico Railroad. This road
was constructed under an agreement with the
Spanish government. which guaranteed
dividend of per cent. on the cost Of the
road on a basis of $4,000 mile for con-
struction. One hundred and thirty-two miles
Of the road has been constructed, leaving
fifty-fve miles yet TO be built. The attorney
general expressed the opinion that the Sec
rotary of war, as the head Of the military
government of Porto Rico. had no authority
to pay the guarantee assured by Spain, or
to take any action which could in any way
bind this government beyond the time Of
military occupation. The conclusion was
reached that Congress alone has authority
to act in the premises.

Newsboys, Parade Postponed.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The parade OF
striking newsboys, which was to have taken
place tonight, was postponed until to-mor-
row night. The reason, Morris Cohen. the
new president of the Newsboys Union. says
is that Chief Devery did not sign the per-
nit that Mayor Van Wyck granted. The
chief claimed the six hours notice which
under the law he is entitled to. This the
boys did not give him. and he did not con-
slider that he had sufficient time to make
the necessary police arrangements. The
parade is to be headed by band and car
riages, and it is expected that several thou
sand boys will parade. Five thousand at

Hon. b. I. Salinger of Carroll will be
a candidate for grand chancellor before
the grand lodge knights of Pytnias,
which meets at Davenport in August.
For number of years Mr.. Salinger has
been an active and influential member
of the order. He has been prominent
in the grand lodge of late years, and as
chairman of the judicial committee has
rendered valuable services. The laws
in that time have been revised and
coditied till now the order has one of
the finest fraternal code of laws in ex-
istence. AS speaker before the grand
lodge he has standing that no other
man has attained. His acquaintance
among the X. P's of Iowa is extensive.
and wherever he is known he has en-
thusiastic followers among the bretb-
rem. He would make a grand chan
cellor that the order would have coca
sion to be proud of, and If the present
situation continues till the meeting of
the grand lodge he will be triumphantly
elected. The friends who have known
him longest are the most enthusiastic
in his behalf. We hope to see Brother
Salinger the next grand chancellor
