AS INGERSOlL WISHED
No CeremOniAs of Amy Character at His
Funeral and Music Omitted.

No CerelnoniAs of Any Character at His
Funeral and Music Omitted.
New YORK, July 26.-The funeral Of
the late Robert G. Ingersoll took place
yesterday afternoon from Walston,
Dobbs Ferry, where he died Friday last.
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 enshrcuded in white and just
one red o. placed on the breast. About
the cot were banks Of floral tributes
sent by friends and thousands of
punches of blossoms.
The services were held at 4 o'clock.
Mrs. Ingersoll sat beside her dead, and
beside her were her daughters, Mrs.
Walston H. Brown and Miss Maud In
gersoll. They were very much agitated
and wept almost continuously. Mr..
and Mrs. G. P. Farrell were present and
Charles Broadway Rouse, Colonel In
gersoll's Oldest friend, occupied a chair
by the side of the bier. There were
some 40 others present and they re-
manned standing throughout. The in
tense silence was then broken by DR..
John Clark Ridpath, who in a voice
full of emotion said:
"My friends, it is my very sad duty
to read in the presence Of the dead the
last poem written by Colonel Ingersoll,
entitled Declaration of the Free This
poem Colonel Ingersoll had altered in
some of it's parts only a few hours before
he was stricken down."
Major O. J. Smith, who resides in
Dobbs Ferry and who was a close per-
sonal friend of Colonel Ingersoll, then,
without preliminary words, read an
other extract from Colonel Ingersoll's
writings, entitled "My Religion"
DR.. John Elliott Of New York read the
funeral Grafton delivered by Colonel
Ingersoll over his brothers dead body.
This concluded the short and simple
service. All present then took q part
ing look at the dead and then passed
out.
After they had gone, MI. Rouse arose
from his chair and, as hei is totally blind,
passed his hand over the face of his de.
parted friend, saying: "Perhaps he is
better now" Mrs. Ingersoll said to
him: "The colonel wanted you to put
your hand on his heart" and ~suiting
the action to the words, she directed his
hand to the left breast of the deceased,
Mr.. Rouse asked what she was going
to do with the remains. II can't give
him up" she said. II can't put him
in the ground. 1 can't bear to think
Of it. We're going to bring him back
home"
The body will probably be taken tc
Freshpond, L. l., Thursday for crema'
ton, but this arrangement is subject tc
change. During the morning there
were many visitors to look upon the
face of the dead. Among them were
several old colored servants of the fam
lily. Many additional kilograms Of sym
pathy We're received, one being from
General Miles. A photograph of the
body was taken just as it lay surrounded
with flowers.

CORN NEEDING RAIN.
Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana In
Want of Showers.
CROP IS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT YET.

According to the Government Report Da-
kota's Spring Wheat Has Suffered From
Heat-A Fair Winter Wheat Harvest,
Nebraska's Oats Fall short.
WASHINGTON; July 26.-Following is
the weather bureaus summary of crop
conditions:
Corn would be benefited by rain in
Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana, but us vet
the crop is lot suffering seriously in
those states. and as a rule has done well.
In the other great corn states of the
central valleys the crop has made favor
able progress.
Winter wheat harvest is about fin
lshed in the districts east of the Rocky
mountains and continues in Oregon,
where a fair crop is being secured. In
eastern Washington hot dry winds have
caused premature ripening.
The harvesting of spring wheat has
begun over the southern portion of the
spring wheat region. Over the western
portion OF the Dakotas very high tenn
peratures-l00 degrees and above
proved decidedly u%nfavorable to spring
wheat. In Minnesota the outlook for
spring wheat is generally good and har-
Vestlng will begin this week. The oat
harvest is nearly completed in the CEN
trail valleys and middle Atlantic states.
In Nebraska the crop generally is not as
good as was anticipated.

FRANCE NOT PLEASED.
Her Political Journal C%riticises
the New Treaty.
CALLS IT AN ENORMOUS BLUNDER.

French Industry and Agriculture De-
United Observation-Disclosures Views the
Treaty as Equitable and of Value to Both.
PARIS, July 26.-The Republique
Franchise referring to the reciprocity
treaty between France and the United
States signed at Washington yesterday,
says:
Washington dispatches announce the
contamination Of tho Franco-American
treaty. An enormous blunder against
which WI ~endcavored to put the govern
ment on its guard has then been consuln-
mated and NM. Millerand and Delcasse
have betrayed French industry and agri-
culture to the United States, and in these
two branches of u national production
ruins will be heaped on ruins. True. the
treaty has not yet been ratified, and we
affirm that it will not be without discus
sion. Industrial and agricultural associ-
ations on every side are becoming agitated
and manifold protests are being made,
and when the chamber reassemblcs the
government will find itself face to face
with an opposition formidably equipped
with arguments and which will energet-
ically lay bare the fatal consequences of
the convention, whose cruelty bctrays
French interests.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The signing
of the Franco-American reciprocity
treaty is accepted in official quarters,
governmental and diplomatic, as not
only a desirable trade arrangement, but
a1sn annthop nyf1ocpo Nf fhn fr;rn11r
political ties between the two countries.
1t is understood President Mckinley in
particular was DESTROYS that there should
be no failure in a negotiation which
promised to establish another friendly
bond between the countries,
In a personal way it is regarded as q
noteworthy achievement Of the French
ambassador, who in his comparatively
brief service here has made a reciprocity
agreement. a reciprocity treaty and has
acted as a peacemaker between the
United States and Spain. The officials
on both sides are refraining from any
expression Of triumph over the results,
as they say each side has secured a fair
equivalent for what it has given and
that the tradeO OF both countries will be
benefited.
The shipments Of the United States
to France are considerably more than
those coming from France. Last year
our exports to France exceeded 500. 000,-
900 francs, while the trade from France
amounted to about $50, 600, 600 francs,
More than half of this traffic will be in
luenced by the rates established in the
new treaty. In the case Of the French
shipments, goods worth 90, 900
francs are on the free list, while another
so, 000, 900 francs Of goods are not infu-
enced by the treaty, leaving shipments
valued at $50, 900, 900 francs to be directly
affected by the new rates. The value
of American goods affected would be
even greater than this, owing to the
larger amount Of American exports.
