In response to a large number of tele-
graphic inquiries the Treasury Department
desires it stated that the offices of all col
lectors of customs and collectors of internal
revenue stamp deputies and other officials
will be closed on next Saturday, the day of
the funeral of Vice President Hobart.
At the request of Attorney General
Griggs, the secretary of war has directed
that two hundred regular troops be sent to
Paterson, n. j., on the day of the funeral
of Vice President Hobart These troops will
be on police duty in the vicinity of and
around the residence.
The British jack over the embassy was at
hafmast to-day as a mark of respect for
the late Vice President Hobart. Lord
Pauncefote and the members of his staff
left their cards at the White House as
further evidence of respect. The halfmast-
ing of the embassy flag attracted consider
able attention, and was regarded as an un-
usual mark Of consideration to an Ameri-
can official.
Orders have been sent to General Otis,
General Brooke and General Davis to have
| flags at all garrisons halfmasted on Satur-
| day, the day of the funeral
Unless present intentions are altered
neither Mrs. Mckinley nor the ladies of
| the Cabinet and the Supreme Court will at
| tend the funeral Of the Vice President.
| While they are anxious to show their re-
| spect to the memory of the distinguished
| dead, ii is felt that the long journey to
| and from Paterson would prove too trying,
especially for Mrs. Mckinley, and the de-
| cision has been reached to confine the party
| to gentlemen.
| The members of the House Of Representa-
| tives, about forty-two in number, who will
attend will leave here in special train
| early Saturday morning and return to the
| city late in the evening.
