 At Carroll hall this evening the remains of Vice-President Hobart lay in state and the public had an opportunity to view them.
 Fully five thousand persons were in the streets Lines were formed by a squad of police, but the force entirely too small to maintain any semblance of order. Wo- men were largely in the majority. They included all classes, and all had the same opportunity to take a last look at the face OI MT. t1ODdrl | ne HfSt peISou lO SSo ehS remains after they had been removed from the room where Vice-President Hobart died was Attorney General Griggs.

 He shook his head as he noticed the change in the face of the dead, and as he stepped aside from the room very much affected he remarked: "He has suffered much-more than any one will know
 As throngs filed into the hall leading to the library excitement appeared and Wo- men tainted on the porch and at one time half a dozen ladies were insensible on the lawn, but were revived. At the coffin there was fainting scene. A woman about 2o years old, after gazing on the face of the dead vice-president, stood at the coffin as though transfixed, then she screamed ana fell forward into the arms of policeman. She was placed in a chair and revived. It was estimated that fully 12,00O persons saw the remains in the four hours they were exposed to view. Thousands more would have seen him if the time would have per- mitted.
 It was remarked by those who had known the yice-president that the face had lost it's pleasant roundness and was very thin, showing that he had suffered much His meek had also tnimned considerably and his hair and moustache were gray. He was sadly changed from the day he was sworn into the office of vice-president of the United States, but there was a peaceful ex- pression as though be had dropped into a sleep,

Another Description

London, November 25.-The Daily Mail publishes the following dispatch from Bel mont describing the battle:
 ''The Boers held a position which British troops would hold against almost any force. The British victory is complete. The Brit ish victory Is complete. My estimate of the Boer losses is fifty killed and 15O wounded. The Boers are ignorant, dirty and wretch ed. They say that half their commanders are tired of the war and will refuse further service.
 ''The whole force of the fearful fight was borne by the infantry, who were obliged to climb 300 feet straight into terrific stream of missiles. The Ninth Lancers pur- sued the enemy with great vigor; but the Boers well mounted and familiar with the hills, melted away before them. Possibly however. our victory would have been even more decisive had we possessed more cavalry"

Miller, head of the Franklin syndicate which has accepted the deposits of thousands of persons in Brooklyn under promise of paying dividends of 10 per cent. or 25O per cent. annually and Cecil Leslie, his secretary, were indicted by the Kings county grand jury today. Bench warrants were issued for the arrest of these two men but up to a late hour tonight neither had been found, the police saying that they had disappeared in the afternoon. Tonight the police raided the premises occupied by the syndicate in Floyd street. There was a great crowd of people around the building and the police surrounded it.
 Inspector Brennan arrested Louis Miller, brother of the head of the syndicate and the cashier of the concern, and took posses sion of s15.9OO in cash. There were forty employees engaged at work in the offices, and these were allowed to go. Dhe charge upon which Miller was indicted was that of conspiring to defraud
 Miller had been engaged for the past two years or so in offering his glittering induce ments to the people to invest their money for him to make use of, but it has been only within the last month that by exten- sive advertising in one way or another he has managed to attract to his office hund- reds of people daily who gathered in a long line or fought with each other for the op portunty to hand out their savings.

 'We did not realize what our navy meant" said the speaker, "until we saw it taking away small police detachment of sixty-six thousand men, with mules, horses and hundreds of tons of stores to get at some people who have interferred with our ideas of right and wrong, at a distance of six thousand miles,"

Caupht Boers in a Trap

lCapetown November 24.-Unconfirmed re- ports continue to arrive here ito the effect That General White recently caught the Boers in a trap at Ladysmith, including detachmerts of the beleagured force, to venture into the open country, when sorte parties from the British camp captured them.
 1s is difficult, however, to believe that news of such importance would not have teen officially announced, and 1t is held that the affair described will probably turn out to be the sortie reported from the Boer headquarters on November 22. The squadron of African light horse are mak- ing northward
 Late arrivals from Pretoria estimate the Boer casualties at 1000 men, half of whom were killed. They also say the race course is being prepared for a laager in the event of siege, and the guns of the fort are trained on it in case the prisoners attempt to escape. A Maxim is placed at the gate of the race course
 From President Kruger down. every one is in favor of fighting. They believe they will succeed in annexing all the leagured towns. The flag of the United Republic now already bears the Orange Cross. The Boers expect the war to last from four to six months, when they will possess South Africa.
 Commandant Albrecht and Lieutenant Eloff have started with a thousand follow CTS to capture Buluwayo.
 Sending Shell in Isrii ish Camp
 Mooi River, Natal, November A.-The Boers have only sent an occasional shell into the British camp since this morning The range of the British guns is not sufn- cient for them to be effective
 An official native runner corroborates the report that heavy firing has occurred northward The runner, who is from Est court, says he was captured by the Boers, who infest the heights ,northward. He adds that they searched him, but failed to dis cover the dispatches.
 The Boers are in strong force under cover of a hill on w'1,h are two guns. When the British opened fire the runner escaped in the confusion. The same runner was at Ladysmith last week. He reiterates that heavy fighting oc- cured there. The Boers, he claims, made several attempts to capture the British camp, but were repulsed with heavy loss. The native explained the failure of the as- saults by saying that every time the Boers approached the British set the whole country ablaze, killing every one within reach.

DRY DOCK AT MANILA.
one Is Greatly Needed--ConRress
viii he Asked 20 Make an
Appropriation.

Secretary Long will in ell probability
recommend to congress the building of
a floating dry dock at Cavite, Philippine
islands, TO be used in repairing the war
ships of the Asiatic squadron. The adj
visibility of the construction of such
a dock is now being discussed by naval
officials and 1t is looked on with great
favor. At present the vessels of Ad-
miral Watson's feet must be sent to
Hong-Kong, 600 miles away, to be
docked, and the expense ranges from
$4,000 to $4,000 for each ship.
A floating dock could be built in this
country and sent in sections to Manila,
where the parts could be assembled and
put together. Some years ago this
method was adopted in the case of the
monitor Comanche, which was built on
the Atlantic coast, taken apart and
shipped to San Francisco on a sailing
vessel. The cost of a frst-class dry
dock would be about $1,000,000, exclu-
sive of transportation. If the con-
struction of the dock is authorized by
congress it win probably be followed
by the erection at Cavite of shops and
appliances for all sorts of naval repair
work, and in time this government will
have thoroughly equipped naval sta
ton at Manila,

WILL TEST A BRITISH GUN.
Shipped from England TO
United states

Lieut.. j. c. Colwell, naval attache of
the United States embassy in London,
recently shipped to the United States a
new model siX-ihch rapid-fre, center
pivot gun on amount made for the navy
by Vickers, Sons & Maxim, limited.
The United States has secured the right
to manufacture the gan and it will be
tested in this country. The British ad-
miralty ordered many of the new weap-
ons, but these will be wire wound. The
same gun, with the exception of the
wire-wound arrangement, will be made
in the United States if the tests are
satisfactory. Statistics here, says
Lieut.. Colwell, are proving equal results
and being obtained by guns that are
not wire bound. Special features of
this latest weapon are a new breech
mechanism and the nonuse of a. car
fridge SHE'LL thus avoiding the old
time delay in election and possible jam
ming. Cordite used in the tests there
gave $500 feet initial velocity.
