An opinion ren dered by Assistant Attorney General Boyd was sent over from the Department of Jus tlco today to the sccrelary of war , Involving the appointment of officers In volunteer reg- ments still In the service. The facts are that under the call of the president the First regiment of Minnesota National Guards was mustered Into the volunteer untoer army of the United States as nn or ganized body on May 7 , 1898 , and was desig nated as the Thirteenth regiment ol Minnesota seta vounteer Infantry. At the time the reg iment , went Into the federal service It had three command majors , this being the num ber authorized 'by the laws of Minnesota Since then the regiment has been In eervlce In the Philippines , and ono of the major- ships became vacant , and the question arose as towhether the governor of Minnesota could flll this vacancy , the regular army act in force at the time the regiment went Into service only authorizing two majors. The assistant .attorney general holds that the governor of Minnesota has the right to commission the third major to fill the va cancy existing in the Tdiirtcoqth Minnesota Infantry and that It is the duty of the War department to recognize the governor's ap- polnteo as of that grade.

Ingersoll died at his home , Walston-on-the- Hudson , near Dobbs' Ferry , today. His death was sudden and unexpected and resulted from the heart disease from which he suf fered since 1896. In that > ear , during1 the republican national convention , he was taken 111 nnd had to be taken home. Ho novcr fully recovered from this Illness , and had to be under the care of physicians almost constantly. For the last three days'Mr. Ingersoll has not been feelingwell. . Last night ho was In better health nnd spo t a portion of the night playing billiards with his son-in-law , and ( " . l\ Farrell , his brother-in-law , and private secretary. He seemed to be In bet ter health and spirits when he retired than ho had been for several days. This morning he arose at the usual hour and joined his family at breakfast. He then said he had spent a bad night , but felt bet ter. Ho had been suffering from abdominal pains and tightness about the chest. He did not think his condition at all dangerous. After breakfast ho telephoned to Dr. Smith , his physician , who Is at Belle Haven , and told him of his experience during the night. Dr. Smith told him , he said , to continue the use of nltro-glycerlne and he would see him during the day. Colonel Ingersoll spent the morning swinging In a hammock and sitting on the veranda with the members of the family. .He said he was better and had no pain. At 12:36 he started to go up stairs. On reaching the head of the stairs Colonel Inger. ell turned Into his wife's room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there. Together they dis cussed what they would have for luncheon nnd Colonel Ingorsoll said that ho had not better cat much owing to the trouble with his stomach. Ho seemed In good eplrlts then. After tojklng for a few' minutes Colonel Ingorsoll crossed the room and sat down In a rocking-chair. Ho leaned his head on his hand which rested on the back of the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll asked him how ho was feeling and he replied : "Oh , better. " Hips Without n AVonl. These were hl last words , a. second after they were uttered he was dead. The only sign noticed by Mrs. Ingersoll was that the whites of hla eyes suddenly ehowcd. There was not even a sigh or a groan us death came. Doctors were hastily summoned , but their verdict was that death had come In stantly. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral , but It will probably take place on Monday at the house and Interment will bo In Sloppy Hollow cemetery at Garry- town. These present In the house at the time of death were his daughter , Miss Maud In gersoll , his daughter , Mrs. \ \ \ H. Ilrown , Mr. Drown , Mrs. D. W. Parker , mother of Mrs. Jngcrsoll , and Mrs. C.P. . Farrell and daughter. i Mrs. Ingersoll 'was the only person In the room with him when he died. Death came to him as he had recently expressed a desire It should. Ho often In old times said he wished to die. slowly with a full itfrfnjijousnoss , so tua " he n il itb'i thoeo ftioffCohlra how he felt.- . Recently ? SS expressed a change of desire to die paln- lesbly and without warning. Monriilnir nt 1'oorln. PEOniA , 111. , July 21.-The death of Rob ert G. Ingcrsoll was received here with pro found sorrow. Ills early life was spent In this county and Itwas here that he estab lished his reputation as a public man. Im mediately on the receipt of the news of In- gorsoll's death the nag on the court house was swung at half mast and arrangements were started for holding a memorial meet ing. llevleiv of IiiKprxnll'N lIfr. Colonel nobert G. Ingersoll , generally conceded to be the greatest of nil agnostics , was the son of a Presbyterian minister of the strictest scot , and by many nt least his views on the bible are thought to be the re vulsion of feeling duo to the severity of re ligious discipline In his boyhood days. He was n youth of tender years wtyen hla father was Installed as pastor of a church at Ash- tabula , 0. , In 1811. Here he spent several years , removing to MadisonO. , nnd later to Illinois. It is somewhat strange that his first fame as an orator should have been won at a Sunday school picnic In Illinois , where ho was put In as a makeshift on ac count of the speakers who had been ex pected falling to appear. Later ho studied law and was admitted to the bar. He scrvea in nn Illinois reeiment during the war , where ho earned the title ot colonel. He also served In congress from Illinois. Ho first , sprang Into national fame as an orator by his speech nominating Dlnlno for the presidency Inthe Cincinnati convention , wherein bo portrayed him ns a plumed knight In the political arena , ready to meet xnd vanquish any aspiring opponents. Long before this every man , woman and child In Peorla , III. , his home , was familiar with hla powers as an orator and with his keen wit. Thomas Cratty , the very opposite of Inger sell In personal appearance small , wrinkled. Toced nnd sour looking was his only rival. When It was known that these two were to , ry a lawsuit It mattered not what the case , the court room was sure to be crowded. There was certain to bo a clashing of wit , logic and eloquence such as Is worth any man's whllo to listen to. Later , when ho became more of a national figure , Tie removed to Now York , -where by lecturing nnd In the practice of his profes sion he earned largo sums of money , though jy reason of his generosity and free spending of money ho accumulated little in proportion tion to his opportunities. Personally he was a most genial man and In hln family , us with others , he was liberal to the point of. prodigality. Every man , woman and child In Peorla knew him and his kindly heart and purse were always open to thp cry of distress. Whatever else In his creed there may have been to condemn , the people who knew him could not help but ndmlre these traits of his character , AVIIIInm T , , Ilciir.l. Tli a funeral of William L.
