The whereabouts OF Colonel ]. Hampton
Hoge is still a matter Of conjecture. for
neither his friends In this city nor the
State Department have heard word
from him since the President dispatched
his message OF recall. The latest re-
port from San Francisco says that be-
fore the steamer sailed Colonel Hoge
was registered and assigned to room
No p, bat just before the vessel left
the dock, the Captain stated that ne
was not In his stateroom. although the
report intimates that he may have been
somewhere else about the ship. Some OF
the people here are disposed to think
ttat after the reception OF the Presl-
dents teiegram. Colonel Hoge concluded
to sail anyhow and depend upon his
friends TO untaugle the intricate web
which was being woven about him.
Others suggest that he may not have
received the telegram and sailed IN tho
happy ignorance Of the furore he had
created in the Department at Washington.
Another, and more likely. rumOr Is that
he received the recall, and is stil In san
and Is not yet Inclined 60 come 60 the
city, and will not do so until even the
Prohibition wife 0f Governor Hughes
could not find fault with his appearance
and conduct. The only facts are that he
had registered on the ship, which Is nov
at sea, and left the hotel before she
sailed, and nobody has seen or heard
from him since, although his friends
here have been expecting udings for
five days, and have looked for him I'M
person stree Monday night but up 60
this hour no news has come 20 them
from any source. No new charges have
been sent as far as anyone can learn
1 If they have been sent they went directly
TO the President. who has charge OF all
the papers IN the case and will look after
them personally.

There were crowds last night about

A report says this morning that Mass
achusetts goes Republican because the
mill workers hold the Democrats respOu-
slhie for the hard times This is tho
idle talk OF ignorance or the palayer
Of maliciOusness. for this administration
has as yet had no time 10 put any
policy into execution, and It's only
achievement. the repeal OF the Sherman
law, was as much sought by these mill
owners Of the East. as by anybody

employees by ridiculous stories Of u

the returning boards last night, and al
though each OF them predicted good
wholesome Democratic majority there
were shouts OF applause at each bulletin
that proclaimed additional triumph. Nir-
ginia had too much at stake 10 waver a
moment. and an who knew the temper of

well. A number of compliments were be-
slowed among the Virginia contingent

careful and intelligent conduct Of the cam-
palgn was one Of rs surest features of
success.
