The San Francisco call., 1899-03-09
FOR A SURVEY OF
THE CANAL ROUTES

NEW YORK. March S.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: If President
Mckinley adopts the advice of a number
of Senators and members of his Cabinet
he will appoint an entirely new commits
sion to investigate the Nicaraguan and
Panama canal routes in accordance with
recent legislation. The matter was con-
sidered at a Cabinet meeting yesterday.
1t is the belief of some Cabinet mem
bers that owing to its experience the
Walker Commission is especially fit to
continue the work under the new pro-
visions. The President is undecided on
the subject, thinking it may have been the
purpose of Congress to have a new COM
mission named, the members of which
have not participated in Sny previous sur
vey, and will therefore submit an impair
tial report. Suggestions are made also
that the. President enlarge the Walker
Commission by appointing several civilian
engineers. A decision is probable In few
days.

HIS LIFE EBBING AWAY.
THE v1CE-PRESIDENT STEADILY GROW
ING WEAKER

Paterson. N. j.. Nov. > (Spec!aD.-Although
Nice-Presdent Hobart appeared more cheerful
to-day than at any time since his illness became
critical. II was noticed by those who saw him
that he was steadily growing weaker and Il is
evident that his death is only question OF a
short time. His constitution is too feeble TO with
stand another severe attack. He will probably
linGer in his present condition until his vitality
is exhausted.
Mr.. Hobart awoke al o'clock this morning.
after enjoying a refreshing sleep that had con-
tinued almost without interruption from the
previous evening. Mrs. Hobart stated that IT
was the most comfortable night that the Vice
President had spent in two weeks.
The first bulletin issued by DR.. Newton was
to the effect that Mr.. Hobart had passed a rest
ful night and had required no medical attend
ance. 1t daylight when the family physl-
clan visited Carroll Hall 1t was apparent that
the patient was growing weaker and there was
q possibility that he might die in peaceful
sumber
The bulletin issued at II o'clock stated that
the Vice President was resting comfortably. HIS
pulse was stronger and he showed signs OF
pain or distress.
Albert A. Wilcox Mr.. Hobarts law partner
and a close personal friend. stated that the pa
tient was aware that his life was fast epolhs
awav and his chief concern was TO make those
about him as cheerful possible. Mr.. wilcox
added that a change might occur tonight. The
Musicians were unable to tell when 1t would
come.
Mrs Hobart is bearing UP remarkably well
under the strain. she is almost constantly ny

TICKET SPECTATORS SEEK LEGISLATION
AGAINST TICKET SPECIALIZING

AGAINST TICKET SPECrLATING
without doubt the theatregoers OF this town
nave suffered much from ticket spectators Some
managers have now and then tried remedies usual
~ with little or no success. Sometimes they have
sought legal remedies. always with no success
ana now al last it appears that there is prospect
VI q Mite relief, and that, too from the source
whence 1t would he least expected-the ticket specu-
laiors themselves. They have seen that their own
business may be overdone and It is not good for
them that 4 should be So
The trouble arose when the Knickerbocker Thea
tire began TO sell tickets for the engagement OF Sir
Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry The New
YORK ticket spectators arrived on the ground for
the plying Of their trade. and found that there
were Others on 1t already. These we're men from
Boston. Philadelphia and elsewhere who had
come and paid the small license fee OF $50 feeling
that they could surely make much moro than
that IN the three weeks OF the Irving engage

or at least some Of them. were A cut below them.
They insulted people. the NewYork say;
they did conduct the business IN the gentle
and deferential style for which the New-York
spectators justly famous. and they
brought down the dignity of the trade In New
York. n dignity which cannot afford much OF a
fall.
Therefore, on Wednesday the Ticket Spectators
Association Of this city held meeting and re-
solved that II would appeal 20 the General Assem-
