FRENCH CONSPIRACY CASES.
M. Guerin Examined by the Senate,
Sitting as a High Court

PARIS. Nov. 21.-The Senate. sitting
as a High Court for the trial of the con-
spracy cases, resumed to-day the ex-
animation of NJ Guerin, who insisted
that the Anti-Semitic League had not
meddled with politics, but had merely
defended the working class against
the power of the Jews" and said that
it had no connection with the Royal
lists.
M. Guerin also insisted that he had
never plotted against the Government
Adverting to the Fort Chabrol Incl
dent. NJ. Guerin expatiated upon the
sufferings of the besieged, and denied
that he had ever fired ball cartridges
at the police.
NJ. Du Buc, President of the League
of Anti-Semitic Youth, was next ex-
amined. He declared the demonstra-
tions of its members were directed
purely against the revision of the
Dreyfus case.
Counsel for NJ. Du Buc said he wished
for an explanation of certain charges
against his client.
The Public Prosecutor refused to give
the required information, which led to
violent protests from the Right Sena-
tors. whereupon NJ. Fallieries, Presi-
dent Of the Senate. adjourned the pro-
ceedings until tomorrow.
The record-union., 1899-11-22

He remained in that condition until his
death.
Before Mr.. Hobart became uncon-
scious he was able to converse with
Mrs. Hobart about some private af-
fairs. He was very patient, and show
ed his remarkable will power to the
last.
At 7:30 this morning the Vice Pres
ident's Private Secretary, Mr.. Evans,
called up the White House by tele-
phone and notified President Mckinley
that Mr.. Hobart was dying. At .
o'clock Mr.. Evans communicated again
with the President, notifying him of
the Vice Presidents death. President
Mckinley sent word that he would en-
deavor to have a talk with Mrs. Hobart
over the telephone this afternoon.
During the forenoon many of the
Vice Presidents intimate friends and
neighbors called at Carroll Hall and
left their cards.
Soon after the news of Mr.. Hobart's
death was announced kilograms of con-
dolence began to arrive at Carroll Hall.
Among the first to send words of SYM
pathy and coincidence to Mrs. Hobart
were President and Mrs. Mckinley.
Nearly all of the representatives of
foreign nations in this country have
sent messages of sympathy to Mrs.
Hobart.
The flags on public buildings were
half masted. Flags on many private
buildings and dwellings We're also hung
at half-mast The bell on the City
Hall was tolled at intervals during the
forenoon.
The Passaic County Court adjourned
in token of respect to the dead Vice
President.
The business houses and public build
ings in Paterson are being draped
The Vice Presidents private offices
in the city were closed as soon as his
death was announced.
Although the Vice Presidents death
had been expected at any time, there
was still faint hope up to the last
among his personal friends in Pater-
son that he would survive for some
time to come, and they were deeply af-
fected by his death.

physician. gave out the following state

a company of the Ninth United States
Cavalry (colored), garrisoning the fort,
and several hundred citizens who at

Three thousand shots were said to have
been fired during the fight, but the

Passes Peacefully Away at His Home at
Paterson, New Jersey.
Though His Death Was Not Unex-
pected, His Taking Off Cast a
Shadow Of Gloom Throughout
the Nation-Many Expressions
of Regret From Senators of
Both Political Parties.

NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-Garret A.
Hobart, Vice President of the United
States, died at his home in Paterson.
N. j., at $50 this morning. At his
bedside were Mrs. Hobart and his son,
Carrot A. Hobart, Jr., together with
DR.. William K. Newton and his wife
and Private Secretary Evans.
Mr.. Hobart's death had been expected
for some hours. The beginning of the
end began yesterday afternoon, when
there was sudden failure of the heart,
and from this attack Mr. Hobart never
rallied. He had been sick for long
time, and had suffered frequently from
heart failure, and his strength had
been undermined. Gradually the fail
ure of the hearts action became more
apparent and soon after midnight last
night Mr.. Hobart became unconscious.

morning. surrounded by his family,
physician and nurse, during an attack
of angina pectoris. AT the time of
his death he was unconscious and free
from pain, as he had been since mid
night He had previous attack at
80 D. m. Monday. He recovered, but
the heart continued crippled, and never
responded to treatment.
'eW. K. NEWTON
Mr.. Hobart's illness first attracted
public attention when he. went to Long
Branch last summer. He spent a portion
of the summer there, and during that
time had a number of weak spells 1t
was not admitted then by his physicians
or family that he was seriously i'll. AL
though he continued in failing health,
he was able to drive out and attend the
Long Branch horse show. Near the
end of the Long Branch season Mr.. Ho-
bart went to Paterson, in company with
Mrs Hobart, his son and Secretary.
About a month ago Mr.. Hobart's ILL
ness took a decided change for the
worse and shortly after that notice
was issued by Mr.. Hobart's family to
the public admitting that the Vice
Presidents condition was very critical,
and that little hope of his recovery was
entertained The announcement was
also made that he certainly would never
again appear in public life.
Mr. Hobart's family, friends and po-
litical associates have since been re-
signed to the inevitable, although there
were times in the last days of the Vice
Presidents illness that he was brighter
and appeared to be growing stronger.
Mayor Hinchcliffe has issued a proc
lamation recommending that upon the
day of the obsequfes of our late Vice
President the public schools, offices and
all places of business be closed; that
business buildings and private resi-
dences be suitably draped; that the
people refrain from their usual avoca-
tons, and assemble in their accustomed
places of worship, there to engage in
ceremonies BETTING the solemn occa-
sion, and that all bells of the city be
tolled between the hours of 3 a. IN. and
II a. m. and l p. m. and p. m. on that
day.
The City Council at a special meeting
adopted resolutions expressing sorrow
BETTING the solemn occasion, and that

for the death of the Vice President;
extending sympathy to the Vice Presi-
dents family; offering the use of the
| City Hall in order to permit Mr.. Ho-
| bart's body to lie in state, so that it
may be viewed by the residents of
Paterson; directing that the City Hall
be draped in mourning for thirty days,
out of respect to the memory Of the
Vice President and recommending that
all church bells in the city be tolled one
hour in the morning and one in the
afternoon of the day of the funeral,
and requesting that all places of bust
ness be closed on that day.
President Mckinley talked to Mr..
Evans, the Private Secretary, over the
long distance telephone this afternoon.
Among the messages of coincidence re-
ceived, in addition to those already
mentioned, were kilograms from Sena-
; tor Elkins, General Russell A. Alger,
who announced his intention of attend
| ing the funeral; Pension Commissioner
r. Clay Evans, Assistant Secretary of
War Meiklejohn, General James S.
Clarkson, Senator Mark Hanna. Senator
J. B. Foraker. Senator Fairbanks and
Chairman Franklin Murphy of the New
Jersey Republican Committee.
Owing to the prostration of Mrs. Ho-
bart, the funeral arrangements will not
be completed until tomorrow. The only
step decided upon is that the services
shall be held in the Church of the
Redeemer at Paterson. and the inter-
ment in the family plat at Cedar Lawn,
where the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Hobart was buried six years ago.
Rev. DIR. Magee will preach the ser
mon. The church can accommodate not
more than 800 persons, and as thous-
ands will be eager to attend the ser
vices, it was suggested that they be
held in the armory, which will acorn
| modate 10000 persons. It is known,
however, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the
funeral to be as quiet as possible, and
there is little likelihood that the pro-
gram will be changed
The Mayor and Aldermen of Pater-
son have suggested that the body lie
| in state at the City Hall on Friday
or Saturday morning, and this sugges-
ton will probably be carried out.
The pallbearers have been selected,
but their names will be withheld until

Governor Savers was in receipt of
telegram from the commanding officer
of the United States troops at San An
tonic conveying the information that
there had been race riot at Rio
Grande City last night between the
Federal troops stationed there and cit
liens of that town. About the same
time another telegram came from the
County Judge at that place, and they
are somewhat confusing. The military
commander at San Antonio, General
McKibben, telegraphs that the report
he received from the commander at
Fort RinggOld near Rio Grande CITY
states that all rhe troops were in the
garrison last night at O'Clock. when
the citizens of that town advanced on

guard returned the fire, and the entire
garrison was at once called to arms
The citizens continued their firing Upon
the fort, the soldiers returned the fire
and finally had to bring their Gali,ng
guns into play to dispense the attackers
The commander states that he fears
further trouble, and asks for more
troops.
A telegram from the County Judge
states that the negro soldiers in the
fort there depioyed in rarine on the
edge of the town and fired into the
town for about an hour and hale
