PATERSON, n j., Nov GO a. m.-
Everything is quiet at the Hobart res
idence. There is no change whatever in the
vice presidents condition.
PATTERSON, N. j., Nov. 5.-There was no
Improvement in the condition Of Vice Pres
ident Hobart today. Messages of sympathy
were received from President Mckinley, Sec
retary of State Hay and Mrs. Hay and Cen
eral Wesley Merritt. Among the callers at
the Hobart residence was Attorney General
Griggs
DR.. Newton, who has been rather silent
about the condition of his patient, consented
to talk yesterday.
HE is resting comfortably" said DR..
Newton.
"Do you think Mr.. Hobart has chance to
recover?" he was asked.
II can only compare his case with others
OF this kind
"Did the others you refer to ever get
better?'
II am sorry to say they did not" said the
physician,
Dr. Newton said he would not give an
opinion as to how long the patient might
live. He might drop off at any moment
and he might go for three or four days, so
remarkable has been his vitality all through
his serious illness.

MOSCOW, Idaho Nov. 5.-The jury today
returned a verdict Of guilty In the case
of ten and not guilty in the case Of three
of the Coeur d'Alene miners Who have been
on trial here in the United States court
on o charge OF conspiracy and stopping a
United States mail train at Wallace on April
20 last, the day on which the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mill was blown up at Ward
ne;. The convicted men are; Dennis
O'Rourke, Arthur Wallace, Ienry Maron,
John Lucinetti, C. r. Burressi Francis But
Ter, Ed Abinota, p. f. oDonnell, Mike NAL
vey and Louis Salla. Those acquitted are:
F. w. Garrett Fred Shaw ard w. V. Bun
dron.
Tomorrow at 3 o'clock the convicted men
will be brought into court and will receive
their sentence. Under the statutes the PEN
atty for conspiracy against the United
States and delay Of the mails is fine
of not less than $1,000 nor more than &c.,

mens, or both fine and imprisonment.
Garrett, Shaw and Bundren We're released

arc all single with the exception OF Salla,
an Italian, while thoee acquitted are mar
ried men. The defense will carry the case
to the circuit court of appeals.
The labor troubles in the Occur D'Alene
mining district have continued with partial
abatements since 1892; in the meantime sew
eral mills have been blown zip with dyna-
mite, persons assaulted and martial law in
voked. The cause of the trial which ended
in the above verdict was the seizing of a
railroad train on April 20. this year, by
striking miners, on which they rode to
Wardner and afterwards blew up the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mills, killing several men.
The managers of these properties refused
to discharge the non union employees. United
States troops were sent to the scene and
martial law was declared. A number of min
ers were arrested and charged with con-
spiracy and delaying the mails.

MISSOURI MINERS OPEN FIRE
Body of Negroes Break Through the
Stockadc and Drive Citizens
from Their Homes.

MACON Mo-, Nov. SIN spite of the
vigilance OF Superintendent Vail body of
negroes got out OF the stockade at Mine No,
6l this morning and again started toward
town. On arriving near Mine No. they
stationed themselves in railroad cut and
began firing into houses over the hill. David
CANDLES residence was riddled with bull
lets and the family had to lay Nat on the
floor to escape the fusillade. o. l.. Trollard' $
house was also attacked in similar manner
and several others had to evacuate their
homes.
Sheriff Glenn came home last night and
the negroes took advantage of his absence
to resume their outrages. He returned to
Bevier today and Immediately went to Mine
No. 81 and will endeavor to locate the guilty
parties and arrest them.
This second uprising has thoroughly
aroused the people of Bevier and they are
determined 1t shall be the last. Several
parties came to Macon today in quest OF
rifles and ammunition and a request was
made of Prof. Clendennin for the guns OF
the Military academy, but they had no cart
ridges for them. A show of force is neces-
sary before the negroes will consent to be
disarmed and peace is not expected until this
is accomplished. There is no lack OF volun-
teers to assist the sheriff, and wholesale ar
rests are looked for tonight.

BRITISH CLAIMS IN HAWAII
Local Government at Honolulu Sends
for Further Information on
Griggs' Opinion.

HONOLULU, Oct. 27.-(Via San Francisco,
Nov 5.)-The Hawaiian government has sent
by the steamer China a request for certain
other information regarding the letter and
opinion of Attorney General briggs respect
ing British claims in connection with the
1895 revolution here.
In referring the matter back to the Ha-
waiian government the letter states that
they are resubmitted for Consideration and
settlement"
President Dole thinks this places the mat
ter entirely in the hands Of the local gov
ernment to do as 1t pleases about it, the
United States holding to It's former policy OF
having absolutely nothing to do with the
questions. There are others, however, who
think that following annexation they become
matters between Washington and London.
Marshal Browns petition for a writ OF
mandamus against the collector of general
customs to compel the registration of the
Falls of Clyde will go before the supreme
court, despite the proclamation of President
Mckinley forbidding the further registra-
tlon of vessels under the Hawaiian flag.
The recent decision of the circuit court
gave to the petitioner the right prayed for.
At that moment the presidents proclamation
came in. The collector general is now be-
tween the judgment OF the court and the
presidents proclamation.

HARRISON HOME FROM PARIS
Former President Has Talk with
Kaiser and Describes other Fea-
lures of His Trip Abroad.

NEW YORK, Nov 5.-Ex-f President Har-
rison, who went to Paris in May as counsel
for Venezuela before the Anglo Venezuelan
arbitration commission, was 4 passenger on
the American Line steamship St. Paul,
which arrived here today. With him We're
Mrs. Harrison and the baby The passage
across the Atlantic was q rather stormy
one and Mrs. Harrison was sick much of
the time.
Mr.. Harrison, who says he Is not in the
best of health, declared, however, that he
had not missed a meal through sickness.
II have enjoyed the trip" ne said. After
leaving Paris I spent some little time in
Germany and while there l saw the kaiser.
talked with him for short time and
found him very agreeable man. When
you ask me what he said, ! shall have to
answer as l did in Germany when one OF
the reporters there asked ae hat question
You will have to ask the kali r. l stopped
for a short time in London before sailing
to this country. The weather. was thick
when was there and / CO dssht a bad cold
il the sog. I attended d -siii.i-e. - the
London Chamber of Commerce just before
sailing. 1t was private. No reporters
were present and / made little speech"
Mr.. Harrison's attention was called to the
fact that 1t had been reported here that
are as friendly as ever. I think he Is a
good man for the place and he is doing
good work there for the government"
When asked about the Venezuelan arbi-
tration question he said: ~ do not call
the decision of the commission a victory. Ii
was a compromise. / cannot say anything
On that subject without deliberation and
for that reason l will not at this time dis
cuss the affair.
"As to the war in the Transvaal, / dc
not care to have anything to say on the
subject. l was in England only a short
time and was not in a position to study the
sentiment there. There may be an under
current against the war over there, but
was not situated so that I could ascertain
it."
When asked about the war in the Phil
ippines and the political Situation, Mr. Har-
rson refused to talk.

B0ERs WAITING FOR GUNS
NonpIussed at Arrival of Naval Guns
and Regret Lost Op-
portuDity.

LONDON Nov G.-The general belief in
London is that the Beers are now waiting
for more guns from Pretoria before attack
ing Ladysmith. The fact that Sir Redvers
Butler appears to have ordered retirement
from Stormberg and perhaps from other
places, relieves to some extent the public
mind, which otherwise would have been FUR
Their alarmed. Confidence is felt in any
measures that General Butler may deem de-
sirable. The knowledge that the pigeon post
is working has also come as relief to the
great anxiety previously felt
The third-class cruiser Pelorus has been
ordered from Gibraltar to Durham and the
third class cruiser Fearless from Port Said
to the same point.
Dispatches from Capetown and other CEN
ters in Cape Colony indicate that the Cape
Dutch are becoming very restless in con-
sequence of the Boer successes.
The Morning Posts Iadysmlth cores
pondent, telegraphing November 1, says:
I'VE cannot understand the Boer tactics. 1t
is incomprehensible that they should have
refrained from using their big guns this
morning"
Commenting upon this dispatch, the Morn
ing Post observes:
ut Is easy to guess the reason why the
Beers have been nonplussed by the arrival
Of the naval guns at Ladysmith. They are
now regretting a lost opportunity, as they
might have cut the railway and thus pre-
vented the appearance of those guns on the
scene"
The Times, in careful editorial on the
relations of the United States to the war in
South Africa, says:
when the continent rings with denuncia-
tions of England it is very cheering and re-
freshlng for the English people to note the
sympathy and intelligent comprehension
manifested in the United States. We should
prize American sympathy in any case, bui
it becomes doubly grateful when manifestly
based upon a deliberate and well-informed
! Judgment OF the essential merits OF the quar-
rel as well as upon reciprccation OF the
kindly feelings with which Englishmen re-
gard American aims and enterprises.
1.-The American people are not blinded b!
the accident that the Transvaal calls itsel1
republic They know that every essentla
attribute OF a republic Is wanting, and the!
know also that England stands for equal
laws, individual freedom and the energetic
progress which together make up the repup-
! lican ideal of the Americans. AS England
| n1umped for the United States, so the
United States now plump for England with
out regard to the finedrawn technicallties

The situation is still unchanged along the
southern frontier of the Orange Free State,

vance is Increasing and the news of the
action of October so at Ladysmlth, the Brit

It is reported they are destroying the rail-

BIG FLEET LEAVES MANILA
Most Important Military Expedition Of the
Autumn Campaign,
GENERAL MACARTHUR TAKES MAGkLANG
American Troops Occupy Position SIX
Miles Northeast of AnEcles-Eleven
of MncArthur's Men wounded
in the Engagement.

MANILA, Nov. So p m.-Thie evening
a feet of transports and gunboats left Ma
Mia for the most important expedition OF
the autumn campaign. Its destination is sup
posed to be Dagupan or some other northern
port.
General Wheaton commands with a brigade
consisting of the Thirteenth infantry, the
Thirty-firs infantry, two guns Of the Sixth
artillery and two Gatlngs. The transports
Sheridan, Francisco de Reyes and Aztec
carry the troops, with the gunboat Helena
as escort.
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to ar
range a rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and the other warships
that are patrolling the north coast of Lu-
zon.
The landing will be made under cover OF
the guns of the fleet. 1t Is assumed here
that the purpose Of the expedition Is to
move down the Dagupan Manila railroad
toward Tarlac or to prevent Aguinaldo's S
forces making another base farther north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strongholds
CT the insurgents in the north and 1t IS sup
posed are the points where most OF the fill
clustering parties land.
Since 1.-The beginning Of hostilities 1t
has been the unanimous opinion of military
experts here that Dagupan should be made
base Of operations, but sufficient troops have
heretofore been lacking. With Generals
Wheaton, Macarthur and Lawton moving
upon Tarlac from three directions and the
mountains hemming in the other side the
insurgent capital will soon become unten-
able.
Aguinaldo may attempt to shift his head
quarters to the rich tobacco country at
Sta Of q Possibly
he may slide around General Lawton's front
to the southern provinces; but as Mac
Arthur's and Lawtons troops are spread
across the country from Angeles to Caban-
atuan, 1t will be difficult for the insurgents
| to escape
Should the concerted operations succeed,
organized insurrection, on a large scale,
should be at an end early next spring, al
| though guerrilla warfare is likely to con-
| tinue for long time. No one anticipates
that the insurgents will make many hard
battles. The program is to move the troops
about the country to maintain transporta-
tion and hold the territory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival Of a large
American army is calculated to sar
Aguinaldo's strength by desertions and
through loss OF hope among the sup
porters of the revolutionary movement.
Macarthur Takes MaEa1nnE.
1915 a. m.-Two columns of General Mac
Arthur's division yesterday took Magalang
about six miles northeast Of Angeles Colonel
| Smith, with two battalons of the Seven
teenth infantry, two guns of the First ar
| tillery and a body of engineers advanced
| from Angeles.
Major O'Brien, with a battalion Of the
! Seventeenth infantry and two troops of the
Fourth cavalry, moved from Calulet.
Colonel Smith killed eleven insurgents
wounded 12S and captured fifty, as well as
taking lot of insurgent transportation.
! Major O'Brien killed forty nine insurgents
wounded many and took twenty eight pris-
oners.

occasions insisted on the urgency Of i'm

Di. Won Holleben will soon return to the
United States to resume his duties at Wash

The recent reciprocity treaty between the
United States and France has startled Ger

SOLDIERS SUE FOR BOUNTY
ChicaSonns Who Enlisted In Missis-
sippi ReFiments Discover an Old
Statute Allowing Bounty.

CHICAGO, Nov, 5.-More than 800 former
members OF the Second and Third Mississippi
volunteers, who enlisted from Chicago, held
meeting today in the Unity building. A
law firm OF this city claims TO have discov-
cred an old statute of Mississippi which
grants bounty OF $50 to every soldier who
recruits in it's regiments and who is not
a resident of the state. Accordingly the
volunteers have organized for the purpose
OF instttutlng proceedings against the state
for the payment of the money alleged to be
due them. II is said that 700 Chicagoans
volunteered to fill up Mississippi's quota,
and were in service from July, 1898, to April,
1899. Colonel j. +. Powers, secretary OF the
state OF Mississippi, has declared in a letter
to the attorneys who are handling the case
that the claims are unfounded and will not
be paid. As soon as the necessary papers
can be prepared, a formal demand will be
made and II that is not granted. suit will
be brought
