STEPHEN J. FIELD.
The United States Supreme Justice
Critically Ill.

SAN FRANCICCO, July 1.-THE Ven
erable and distinguished jurist, Stephen
j. Field, Associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, is
critically i'll. So serious is his condition
that it was yesterday decided to be i'm
Ieratively necessary that he be brought

the hope that the change might be of
benefit to him.
1t is realized by Justice Fields friends
that the best of medical attention is
necessary to preserve the life of the aged
sufferer. A special train was dispatched
to PasO RobleS this afternoon with
physicians, nurses, etc. and if the con-
dition of the noted patient will permit
of his being moved, he will brought back
to San Francisco tomorrow morning.
1t is possible that careful nursing and
absolute rest may restore the Justice to
health, but those best acquainted with
his condition say there is little hope of
Eis recovery.

has been sadly undermined and that he

HIS BIRTHPLACE.
The Old House Where Garret A. Hobart
Was Born.
Few Changes in the Old Homestead,
Which Was Built Before
the Revolution.

The birthplace of Garret A. Hobart,
who was nominated by the ST. Louis
Republican Convention for the office of
ice-President, is now the center of at
traction for the hundreds of cottagerS
who summer on the Atlantic Coast, says
the New York Herald" A few days
since it was passed by unnoticed. but
since Mr.. Hobaa't's nomination curios-
ity seekers can be seen about the old
farmhouse from early morn until late at
night. Scores of handsome turnouts can
be seen vending their way up the old
Eatontown turnpike to catch a glimpse
Of the old house.
Gus Hobart's birthplace has a his
tory. 1t was built long before the Rev
oIutionary War for Jacob Slocum. The
old Turtle mill house, which was rid
died with bullets by Colonel Simcoe at
the time he was raiding Monmouth
County, lies only a few hundred yards
to the west. The original house con-
tanned four rooms-a kitchen and din
ing-room on the first floor and two bed
rooms on the second floor. An old fash
ioned fireplace occupied the south end of
the house.
Mr.. Slocum sold the farmhouse early
in the forties to William Chasey, whose
daughter, Mrs. Harriet Edwards, with
her two sons, William and James Ed
wards, now occupies the premises. In
1S41 Mr.. Chasey rented the house to Ad-
olson Hobart, who taught school in
Long Branch for eight years. Two of
Mr.. Hobart's children-"Gus' and Da-
vid-were born at the old farmhouse
The third son-Erasmus, the eldest
was born at Marlboro, near Freehold
The old farmhouse has been entirely
remodeled during the last two score
years. The farmhouse is now two sto-

As Soon as the Rainy Season is Over
and Circumstances Permit.
Two Cubans and Four Americans Re-
ported to Have Been Captured on
the Northwest Coast of Cuba
Two Battles, One Resulting in a
Spanish Victory and the Other in
Favor of the Insurgents.

HAVANA, July 17.-Maximo Gomez,
COmmander-in-Chi of the Cuban
army, is preparing a grand coup, to be
made as soon as the rainy season is
over and circumstances Will permit. 1t
is believed that simultaneous attack
upon the cities of Havana and Santiago
de Cuba is contemplated. The attack
would have been made during the rainy
season, but for the fact that the Cubans
lack the necessary ammunition for such
a formidable undertaking. Gomez, dis
satisfied with the failure of the Junta
in New York City to keep him properly
supplied, sent Colonel Carlos Aguirre to
wake them up.
Colonel Aguirre, in accordance with
Gomez's instructions, has already set
about organizing a mammoth expedi-
ton that is to eclipse anything OF the
kind ever attempted. 1t will consist OF
six large, speedy and heavily armed
freight steamers. 1t is said that the
vessels will probably be fitted to carry
guns. Extensive orders for arms and
ammunition have been placed with sew
eral concerns whose factories are work
ing night and day. Balloons will also
be among the accessories. 1t is under
stood that Roloff Carlos, Aguirre and
DR.. Castillo will take charge of the ex-
petition, which will be fitted out in the
South, and that they will take with
them a strong force of American gun
ners and dynamite experts.
FOUR AMERICANS CAPTURED.
HAVANA, July lit is reported to-
day that a boat with six men had been
captured on the northwest coast of the
island. The party was in the act of
landing twelve boxes. 1t is feared that
the men arrested are Senior Jardinas,
his Secretary, Moret, and four Ameri-
cans. If this be the case they will un-
questionably be shot, as Jardinas took
with him two war balloons and a large
quantity of dynamite. The balloons
were small but navigable and it was in
tended to use them for dropping high
explosives into the fortresses and towns
occupied by the Spaniards.
General Weyler has ordered the pa
TENTS to be removed from the Santa
Isabel Charity Hospital at Matanzas,
SO that the place may be devoted to the
sick and wounded of the Spanish army.
TWO BATTLES FOUGHT.
HAVANA, July 17.-Major Fonde-
viela, who has become noted for his ac-
tivity during the present campaign, re-
ports from Campo Florida that he met
a body of rebels, led by Mirabel, and
routed and dispersed them after hot
fight. Ten rebels We're killed and many
wounded. The Spaniards sustained no
losses.
On July 9TH the Spanish Lieutenant
Colonel Brualla, with % men, attacked
the patriots position at Jocajtra, near
Bolondron, Matanzas province. He was
repulsed with heavy losses. On the
next day the Spaniards, under Colonel
Molina, made new attempt to dislodge
the patriots and had to retreat after
fight of more than nine hours.

Chairman of the State Committee a
manifesto to the Democracy of the

The fact cannot be disguised that the
action of the Chicago convention was a
serious disappointment to the Democ-
racy of New York, and has aroused
widespread and increasing opposition
Under the circumstance, recommend
after consultation with many leading
Democrats of the State, that no definite

Gratis until the assembling of the State

Of Mr.. Hobart, said: "'Gus' Hobart
was a jolly boy. He was an apt pupil
and always attended Sunday school I
remember one day of getting a sound
thrashing from the hands of Mr.. Ho-
bart's father. Gus myself and the
third party, a New York lad, whose
name l cannot now recall, were made to
toe chalk line and each in turn stood
up and received his medicine. In ex-
planning how it happened that Mr. Ho-
bart whipped his own son, Gus said:
I suppose father didn't want to show
any partiality''
During his stay here young Hobart
assisted in the store of Morford & Van
Derveer, and obtained thorough
knowledge of the business before re-
moving, with his father, to Marlboro,
where the latter opened grocery store.
Mr. Hobart, finding that there was not
business enough at the old store to sup
port himself and two brothers, concll1d-
ed to leave home. In the course of time
he landed at Paterson, where he gradu-
ally rose to fame as Republican
leader.
Mr. Hobart was named after his un-
Gle, the late Garret A. Van Derveer
who was one of the best known farmers
in Monmouth County.

LONDON'S POPULATION.
The Provinces Are Increasing Faster
Than the Metropolis.

The result of the recent census shows
that during the last five years the pop
ulation has increased somewhat less
rapidly than it did in the previous ten
-1SS1 1891. The number of people
turned out to be some $4,000 below the
estimate formed on the basis of 1891.
The difference is small, but important,
as it shows that the previous fall in
the rate of increase is maintained. The
population is growing at a less rapid
pace. AT the beginning of the century
il used to increase by more than 20
per cent. in the ten years between sue
cessive censuses; in 1SS1-1S91 that rate
had fallen to 1O.4 per cent, the lowest
on record; and now it is still less. This
movement is not part of a general de-
cline; it is peculiar to London, and
seems to indicate that the huge over
growth of the metropolis has begun to
cure itself. The wen has passed it's
zenith in relation to the rest of the
country, and now represents a dimin-
ishing proportion Of the whole popula-
ton. Hitherto-that is, up to 1851
although London was growing at a less
rapid pace than it had once done, it
nevertheless kept continuously ahead of
the rest of the country and decade
after decade claimed a larger share of
the total population. Thus in the year
1901, out of every 100 persons in Eng
land and Wales, 1918 lived in London:
in 1881, out of every 100, no fewer than
I4-b9 lived in London; the proportion
had risen steadily with every successive
census. But by 1891 the corner had
been turned, and for the first time on
record the London share showed a fall.
slight but significant. The provinces
are now increasing faster than the
metropolis.

d1ence to true demographic law or
whether it is due to accidental causes.
we have not sufficient data to deter
mine; but there are reasons for think
ing that the present point has been
reached by a continuous and regular
process OF very long duration, and that
1t was automatically certain that

the general poulation would overtake
that of the metropolis. No town can go

to continue at the same rate He
