lie Pasvert Awaj Brief Blo(rapbleal Sketch of Hla Ulstorle Career. East Las Vegas, N. Aug. 17. John James Ingalls, of Kansas, died yesterday morning at 2:30 the Montezuma hotel at Las Vegas Hot Springs.
About nine o'clock Wednesday 'night he grew suddenly worse and the doctor informed tbe. attend ants that he was not liicely to live until morning. He talked with his wife and son, Sheffield, who had just arrived from Kansas, until about half an hour before he died, daring- which time, with Ingalls, he. repeated the Lord's" prayer. The end came peacefully and quietly" after- about a half hour of unconsciousness, from which he did not rail'.
Sheffield Ingalls said yesterday morning: father was taken suddenly worse a little after nine o'clock Wednesday evening" and Dr. Perkins, medical director of the hotel, informed U3 that my father was not likely to live until morning. I left his Bide at midnight and retired to my room for a short rest. My mother, whom he desired leave him, came to my door about two o'clock yesterday morning and told me that the end was near. Soon after, he lost consciousness and passed peacefully away.
He talked to us up to a half hour before he died and repeated the Lord's prayer with my mother some time before he lost consciousness. His conduct all through his illness has been one of great fortitude. He loved his family and was beloved by them, and it was veally in his home life that his noble qualities in his heart and mind 'were shown. He was devoted, kind and indulgent. He was anxious for the end to come, r.s he had felt for the last six months that his life work and career of usefulness was over." The direct cause of his death was bronchitis.
He had been gradually growing weaker for some time from inability to assimilate his food. His heart was also affected. Up to last night Senator Ingalls' condition had not changed since Saturday. His weakness at linies was alarming, but it was thought that he would be able to stand the journey to his home in Atchison, where he had ex pressed a desire to be wheu the end came.

Condition of IC.nnns Corn Crop.
New York, Aug. 20. A director of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad said Saturday: "No holder of Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe stock should feel alarmed for a moment be- cause of the reports of damages to the corn crop of Kansas. Our divi- sion which covers the state of Kansas, carries about 4Vi per cent, of corn. The wheat crop of Kansas has yielded over 78,000,000 bushels and is the largest, in the bistorv of the state This in itself means an immense ton- aage for our system and for all other roads enterinsr the state.
It is true damage has been done to the corn crop of Kansas and that from pres- ent indications the yield will be about 57 per cent, of the first estimate, The corn acreage of Kansas was larp-e- iv increased over Inst, ve.ir and tho yielfl per acre was expected to be ex. ceptionally large, in other words, 'a bumper' crop of corn was anticipated, A8 it is Kansas farmers will receive higher prices for their corn, and had this been a 'bumper' crop, prices would have been so low as not to have paid SOME FAMOUS BARDS.

Bains Bombarded by tho Allied Forces. Washington, Aug. 20. From Gen. Chaffee yesterday the war department received official confirmation of the fall of Pekin and the rescue of the besieged legationers.
The dispatch the American commander was not long and contained but few details, Lut the unconcealed satisfaction with Vhich it was received by officials of the administration indicated clearly the anxiety that, had been engendered his prolonged silence. The explanation, of his silence is suggested advices by- the navy department ram Admiral llemey, who, telegraphing from Taku on the 18th, says the telegraph line between that point and Pekin is interrupted. The cablegram from Admiral Ee- mey contains some important infor mation not mentioned by Gen. Chaffee. He makes the startling state ment, on Japanese authority, that the inner city of Pekin was being bom barded by allied forces.
Admiral Remey says, also, that the dowager empress is detained in the inner city by Prince Yungedo. Following is the text of the dispatch from Gen. Chaffee, dated the 15th, as made public by the war department: "We entered legations grounds at five o'clock last night with Fourteenth and light battery. Eight wounded during day's fighting; otherwise all well. It will be noted that the dispatch indicates that the American troops entered the legation grounds at five o'clock on the evening of the.
14th in- slant. By the Washington officials and by several legation officials to whom it was shown, the date of Gen, Chaffee's communication is regarded lis an error of transmission. It is be lieved that the word "15th" should be "16th. Admiral Eemey's dispatch, dated the ISth, which contains much in teresting information in a few words, is as follows: "Telegraph line td Pekin interrupted. Information Japanese sources; empress dowager detained by Prince Yungedo, inner city, which is being bombarded by allies.
ChaiTefe reports entered lega tion grounds evening 14th. Eight wounded during day's fighting; otherwise all well. The startling feature of the dis patch is that fighting within the city of Pekin was continuing, according to the advices of Admiral Remey The inner, or, as it is popularly known, the Forbidden City, evidently had not been taken. It is surrounded. by a massive wall of solid masonry, more than 20 feet high, and it is not regarded as surprising that the Chi nese should make their final stand within its shadows.
Trior to the re ceipt of the dispatch it was accepted generally as a fact that the dowager empress, in company with the em peror and a large suite, had left Pekin. While nothing is said in Admiral llemey's advices as to the whereabouts of the emperor, it is deemed scarcely probable that he left the city without the empress dowager. Arm tlc Mir He Washington, Aug. 20. Now that the primary object for which the allied armies marched upon Pekin, the rescue of the besieged legation, ers, has been accomplished, the drift of the discussion in official and dip lomatic circles reverts to the next step to be taken.
Necessarily many of the predictions as to what this will be are purely conjectural, as it is realizetl that complete and definite information regarding the condition of affairs in Pekin must be awaited before any positive action can be taken bythe governments whose interests have suffered as a result of the Chinese troubles. The presumption here is that the next move will be an agreement for armistice, This may be under taken by the commanders of the Chi army and those of the allies on the spot where the fighting, accord to the latest reports from Pekin, appears still to be in progress. This accomplished, the question of the withdrawal of the foreign armies, tha payment of indemnities and many otner proDiems may De leit to com missions duly appointed to adjudi- eate them. Li Hung Chang has al ready been appointed a plempcten tiaTT by his government to negotiate terms ot peace and this capacity he made an inefteetual attempt to stop the progress of the' allies in their march on Pekin.
