It It Iletween the United Sti'e and France and 1 the Meet Important On Yet Coiulng Under Ilie l'rovlalou of tha Dlngley Tariff Mill Concraalon Made Ily Both fJoTernmrnta. WASHINGTON, July 23.-The long pending reciprocity, treaty negotiations between the United States and France were brought to a successful close at the state department, when Ambassador Cambon In behalf of France, and Com missioner Kasson, in behalf of the United States, attlxed their signatures to the reciprocity treaty. It Is by far the most Important treaty concluded un der the reciprocity provisions of the Dingley law and the only one affect ing the trade with a large commercial nation. The negotiations were marked by rather sharp and long continued dis cussions, which continued up 'to the time the signatures were placed on the document. In the end, a spirit of com promise prevailed and each side yield ed something. As a whole both sides express satisfaction with the general results secured, for while the treaty necessitated some minor sacrifices the general effect of the treaty will en courage commerce between the two countries. - The cencessions granted by France embraced most of the articles In what is known as the French minimum tar iff. This comprises 644 heads, the rates being on an average about 20 per cent below those in the general tariff in France. It was found neces sary, however, owing to protests from French agrarian Interests to except from this minimum list about 24 ar ticles, chiefly agricultural products. The French ministry was obliged to pay heed to this sentiment and In turn M. Cambon made the exceptions a condition of closing this treaty. It was on this point that the negotiations were In doubt for several days, and It was only by compromising on the ex tent of the exceptions that an agree ment was made possible. As first pre sented the exceptions numbered' 12, but some of these were classes includ ing a number of distinct items, so that in all there were a large number of ex ceptions. As finally determined upon, these exceptions were narrowed down to 24, and outside of them the United States gets the benefit of all the re ductions on the French minimum list. Besides the reduction given to this country, the treaty Is Important In continuing a number of minimum rates which would have been abolished If the treaty had not been concluded. The most important of these articles are petroleum and mineral oils. At pres sent these oils enter France on the minimum rate, but had this treaty failed a rate would have been imposed making a difference of duty amount ing to about $r,000,0)0. The same is true as to cotton, which Is one of the chief articles of shipment from the United State to France and enters duty free. The same Is true of copper, rubber and many classes of machinery. Fiance secures Important conces sions on over 100 of the chief products sent by France to this country. The Dingley law allows not to exceed 20 per cent reduction 11 a basis of reciproci ty, but the full 20 per cent Is not al lowed on all the articles covered by the treaty. On some of them the reduction is 5 per cent, on others 10, on others 13 and up to 20 per cent. The list would have been laryer, and the percentage of reduction greater In some cases had it not been for the reluctance of Com missioner Kawon to permit exceptions from the French minimum list. This wits the main cause leading to the omlsnion of champagne from the list of Important French products Includ ed in the treaty. While quite desirous of securing a reduction of duty on this class of wines the French authorities were not ready to grant the large num ber of reductions asked for as an off set for the proposed reduction on this particular article. As a result the reg ular rates will be maintained on spark ling wintw coming to this country. ' The treaty will result In placing the products of the United States on the same basis in France as products of Great Britain and Germany. At pres ent these countries have the minimum French rate, while the American goods with few exceptions have had to pay the maximum rate. Ambassador Cambon will leave for Paris In about a week carrying with him the French draft of the treaty. The French treaty Is the last of the Instru ments of this kln1 and the treaty work under the Dingley act Is now brought to a close. Six treaties have been made, all save that with France relating to British West Indies. VERY SERIOUS MATTER. The Lynching of Italian! In Loolnlana May Came War. WASHINGTON, July 24. The lynch ing of five Italians at Tallulah. La., Is viewed with concern In official cir cles on account of the effect it may have on the relations between Italy and the United States. Officials re called that a similar affair, the lynch ing of men of the same nationality In the same state during the administra tion of President Harrison, nearly caused a war between this country and Italy, and did result in the withdrawal from Washington of the Italian minis ter. The affair at Tallulah Is the third of Its kind involving the relations be yeen the Italian government und that of the United States. Or.ly shoit time ago this government paid indem nity to Italy for killing by a mob of some Italian subjects In Colorado. It Is believed hem that the least that will result from the lynching at Tallulah will be the payment of heavy Indemnity to Italy. Zinc Miner Idle. WEBB CITY, Mo..

Kllhn Root of New York Appointed Secretary of War. NEW YORK, July 25. Elihu Root, the noted New York lawyer, who haa been selected as secretary of war to succeed Russell A. Alger, resigned, FI.IIIT7 ROOT. called on the president Monday after noon and spent the night at the White House in consultation with the presi dent upon the important duties which will devolve upon him as the new head of the war department. The entire co lonial policy wa gone over at the con ference, hut Cuba, contrary to expecta tions, received more attention than the war in the Philippines. Of course Mr. Root as the new sec retary of war will have a voice in all matters relating to the conduct of the war, but the president desires him to give particular attention to the civil administration of the war department and the many complicated legal ques tions Involved In the transition of the military to the civil control of the de pendencies. The president will continue as he has in the past to give close personal attention with the assistance of Ad jutant General Corbln, to the purely military work connected with the au tumn campaign In the Philippines. The question of the future of Cuba will receive the immediate attention of Mr. Root. The president believes the time has come when steps should be taken to give the Cubans a trial at self-government, and he wants Mr. Root to take hold of this matter and formulate laws whereby the Cubans will have an opportunity to establish some kind of government which this country can recognize. It Is this class of work, Involving a knowledse of constitutional nnd Inter national laws, which Inlluenced the president In the determination to have a lawyer Instead of a soldier at the head of th? department. Eventually it Is the presidents ex pectation that this will be a new de partment of the government, to have direct control of all affairs pertaining to the colo.iles. Mr. Root will be ex pected to do the work of a colonial sec retary rather than a war secretary, pending the establishment by congress of the proposed new department. Prob ably in the future he may be trans ferred to the control of tho new repay ment when It Is authorized. Mr. Root, of course, will have much to do with the Philippine war, but the' president will naturally depend more upon hl advice for substituting a civil for a military government In the Phil ippines when the time comes for such action thun he will upon his assistance in connection with the autumn military campaign.

Very Sudden Demise of the Great Agnostic. rhe Knd Cam to Him as He Had Re cently Exprewed a Dealre It Should, Tain lely and Without Warning Mr. In geraoll Wa the Only I'eraon la the Kooin at the Time. NEW YORK, July 22. Robert G. Ingersoll died at his home, Walston-on-Hudson, near Dobbs Ferry, a few minutes after noon. His death was sudden and unexpected and resulted from heart trouble from which ha had been troubled since 1S96. In that year during the Republican national con vention, he was taken ill and had to return home. He never fully recovered from the attack of heart disease. For the last three days. Mr. Inger soll had not beer, feeling well. He had some stomach troubles, but It was not considered serious. Mr. Ingersoll spent the morning In a hammock and sitting on the veranda with members of the family. He said ha was better and had no pain. At 12:03 he started upstairs and as he was going he told Mr. Farrell that when he came down hc would play a game of billiards with him. On reaching the head of the stairs. Colonel Ingersoll turned Into his wife's room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there. To gether they discussed what they should have for luncheon. He seemed In good spirits then. After talking for a few minutes Colonel Ingersoll en ssed the room and sat down in a rocking chair. He leaned his head upon his hand, which rested on the back of the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll asked him how ho was feeling, and he replied: "Oh. better." These were his last words. A sec- ROBERT G. INGERSOLL. ond after they were uttered he wai dead. There was not even a sigh or a groan as death came. Those present In the house at the, time of the death were his daughters, Miss Maud Ingersoll, and Mrs. W. H. Brown; Mrs. Brown, Mrs. D. W. Tarker, mother of Mrs. Ingersoll, and Mrs. C. F. Farrell and daughter. Mrs. Ingersoll was the only person Ir the room with him when he died. Death came to him as he had recently ex pressed a desire it should, painlessly and without warning. He often in old times said he wished to die slowly with a full consciousness so he might teli those about him how It felt. Recently he experienced a change of desire, and he died suddenly, painlessly and with out warning. Robert G. Ingersoll was best known be cause of his views on religious topics, but his introduction to the country at large was by reason of a political and not an agnostic address. It was In 1 STfi when he made the address nominating James (1. Blaine for the presidency. It was In this speech that Mr. Blaine was first al luded to as the "Plumed Knight." Ingersoll was born In Dresden, N. Y., Aug. It, ISM, and was the son of a Con-, gregatlonal minister. It Is stated that the Rev. Mr. Ingersoll was somewhat lib eral In his views and that (his liberality antagnlzed the more orthodox members of his congregation. The son naturally agreed with his father, but even before he had passed out of boyhood he hud gone much further upon the liberal road than Ingersoll, Sr., had ever dreamed of. Early In Ihe forties the Ingersolls re moved to Wisconsin and a little later to Southern Illinois. Bob Ingersoll's boy hood and early manhood were passed In that state. At 18 he entered the office of his elder brother, Ebon C. Ingersoll, when of age was admitted to the Illinois bar and wltn his brother opened a law office at Shawneetown. Both were Dem ocrats and prominent In local politics. Ebon C. became congressman, and at that time It was Robert's highest ambi tion to be himself sent to the house of representatives from his home district In 1S57 he removed to Peoria, where ht devoted much of his time to political speaking and acquired considerable local fame. In 1MU he was offered the Demo cratic nomination in a district that wat overwhelmingly Republican. He ac cepted and was beaten so badly that he never ran for office again. He settled down to the practice of law, but upon the breaking out of the civil war en tered the I'nlon army after 0rg.1nlr.lng a regiment nf cavalry, the Eleventh Illi nois, of which hc was made colonel, lie made a reputation as u soldier for per sonal daring and dash. Most of his ser vice was In Tennessee. When his term of service expired he returned to Illinois. In politics, he be came Republican and his rise In the legal profession was rapid. In lS'it he was ap pointed attorney general of Illinois which post he rilled for several years. Ten years later. In ISTfl. he became a delegate to the national Republican con vention, and his nominating speech wai the sensation of that occasion. Before the people had done talking uboul the "Plumed Knight'' speech hi; made his anous "Indianapolis sieecti." This memorable address began: "The past rises before me like a dieam " It lee trilled the soldiers before whom it was delivered. It was not until after this speech th.it the came to know lngcrsnll's vifwl OQ religion. He was offered large lumi by lecture bureaus to speak nn ny topic lie chose throughout the coun try and he selected the Bible as his theme. Host people remember the lect ure he delivered. Perhaps, his "Mis takes of M"es" was the most famous, or infamous, as one may look at It. In 177 Ingersoll was offered the posi tion of 1'nlled Hlates minister to (Jir many, but refused It, and a short time after that removed to New York, where he took up the practice of law and be came one of the niasl successful Ksl light of the metropolis. , JUDGE TO RESIGN. The Rnpreme Court T t.nrv In 1 f mi nt Wan m Nt I I HARRJ.SBUKG, July 21. Judge 8. Leslie Mestrezat. Democratic nominee for the supreme court bench, has ad vised Governor Stone that he will re sign as presiding Judge of the Fayette Judicial district on Aug. 5. It has been practically agreed that It will be ac cepted at once, so that the Judge's suc cessor ran be elect :d next November. Governor Stone spent an hour In Philadelphia on his way to Atlantic City. The arrival of Judge Mestrezat on the same train gave rise to a ru mor that during the journey to Phila flelphia Governor Stone and Judge Mestrezat had met and discussed the latter's probable appointment to the supreme bench to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Will lams. This, however, could not be sub stantiated, for the reason that neither Governor Stone nor Judge Mestrezat would discuss It. It has been generally understood, however, that the governor will appoint the nominee of the Repub. llcan convention, which meets next month, to fill that vacancy. CUT DOWN THE GROVE.
