Collis P. Huntington died at his summer home, Pine Knot Camp, Date Mohican, in the Adirondacks, at 5:10 o'clock tbi3 morning. His death was the result of heart failure. Mr. Huntington went to Pice Knot last Thursday and was en tertaining a party of men friends. He was in excellent health and spirits when he went into the woods and had remarked that he had never appreciated the woods so much as he had this season. He was in good spirits last night and did not complain of feeling ill. He retired at 11 o'clock. At 5 o'clock this morning bis groans awakened the household . Ten minutes later he was dead. The estimated wealth of Collis P. Hnntington is as follows: Southern Pacific $45,000,000 Newport News Ship Yard.,10,000,000 Bockaway Beach Property. 1,000,000 Hotels Del Monte, Del Norte, Castle Crag and Arcadia 10,000,000 New York City estate. . 5,000,000 San Francisco estate. 4,000,000 Pacific Improvement Company 7,000,000 Total.. .$82,000,000 i PEKIN CAPTURED Washington, Aug. 17 The al lied armies have captured and en tered Pekin in the face of obsti nate resistance, and the members of the foreign legations are safe.

Reports from the Visayus Islands show that there has been increased ac tivity among the insurgents there during the last six weeks. The American losses in the island of Panay last month were greater than in any month since January last. General Mojica, in Leyte, and General Lucban, in Lamar, are harassing the garrisons, shoot- in c intn th tnwtm durinff t.h night and ambu9hing amaiipar. tieSf firing and then retreating upcm tne iargar bodies. The reb- els possess an ample supply of ammunition and are organized to a considerable degree. The Americans have garrisoned three towns on Samar island, two of which shelter a tent of the in habitants, who suffer from the continual "sniping" of the reb- els from the surrounding hills. The third is without any native inhabitants, the rebel outposts, a mile away, preventing their re turn to their j homes. General Lucban punishes the islanders who have any relations with the Americans. Cebu is likewise dis turbed. Barring those who have taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, the rebels are imprisoned in Manila. When am nesty was proclaimed it practi cally was without effect, and the expectation that the proclama tion would accomplish mucn in the unexpired tima is daily dim inishing- The banks, under government pressure, have restored the ex change rate of two Mexican sil ver dollars. General MacArthur has ordered the acceptance of American money for all public dues at the above rate. General Wright, Major Maus and others have returned from a trip to Benguet Provincer-v?here they recommend the immediate establishment of a convalescent hospital: B9nguet is tranquil.

Washington, Auaut 16. -As General Caaffee and the relief col umn draw near to Pekin tha offi- cials of the State, vVar and Navy the dispatche3 received from our diplomatic, military and naval rep- resentasives in China. Toe dis patch received from MinisterCen- ger yesterday has not been made public ond apparently will not be. This emphasizes at once the im- portance of the dispatch in ques- Not only will the officials m question not give out a dispatch whose publicity might have an unfortunate effect, but they eay they might receive dispatches of so grave a character from Mr. Conger, General Chaffee or Ad- miral Remey, that the mere pub- improper. Iodeed, Acting Sec- retary of State Adee says that mischief might be done uncon- eciously f t om speculations as to the contents of dispatches known to have been received, but which had not been made public. For this reasoc he regards it as proper arid necessary to withhold - even the knowledge of the reception of some dispatches. Military men expect the next news from General Ctiaffte to come from either Turg Chow or Pekin. They recognize now, as they have f rum the beginning, that the r?al problem of the cam- paign will be reached only when the relief column reaches Pekin. The walls of that city are 8aid to . , . t , , be proof against field artillery, and tbe relief column has no siege artillerv with it. It may be pos sible to take the city by assault, though tha task of scaling walls fifty feet high may easily prove impossible. It is poes ble a breach may be made by undermining the Walla and blowing them up. Meantime, how about the lega tioners? Their danger, always great, will become scute from the moment the relief column is sight ed by sentinels upon tha walls of Pekin. The hope is that those in authority ia Pekin will be able to restrain the murderous throngs in that city and get the Iegaioners I safelv in the hands of the relief j c3iunQ0 News from Pekin is Again awaited with the same fearful anx I iety that marked the dajs of July , A Wonderful Discovery I "Not onlv cures, but' it keeps 'well.

Ex-Senator Ingalls. The career of one of the most unique, Drilliant aua-uutobio fi- ures in American politics was enJed yesterday by the death of Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kansas. Mr. legal Is was a keen- witted, hardheaded, self-reliant New England yOUtb, trans- planted to TKansas in time to participate in framing the Con stitution of the embryo State, and by force of native ability re- dust-y he easily forged to the front and became a leader in the politics and public affairs of his adopted State. Botp. lawyer and journalist by profession he came early to tbe United States Senate, in which during a servioa extending over eighteen years he was easily one of the members in the front rank, serving a goodly term as Presi ilcnf i-ii-r form rv F that Hrtrl tt TT o in? as th maatr in the use of biting satire in speech or debate, a gift that contributed not a little to his political downfaU, for every sting inflicted by his keen sarcasm mad9 hiai an enemy, and a man in public life needs friends more than he needs enemies. His reiirement from the Sen- ate in 1891 to make way ;for the whiskered Populist, William. A. Peffer, was a misfortune to the public service of the country in general, and to Kansas in par ticular. Kansas has found no real successor in force, ability and intergrity to Ingalls, and is not likely to for a long time to come, for men of the Ingalls cal ibre are few and far between in any age or country. After his retirement from the Senate he engaged chiefly in literary and j jurnalistic work, with marked success and newspapers and magazine reaaers win regret sincerely his death while still in the height of his ' intellectual powers. - Keen your blood rich and red by taking Roberts' Tasteless Chill Toiuc. 25c.
