Senator Hoar said the argument had peeh ad-
vanced that the United States should De near
AT hand 10 take part in the predicted PARTITION
of China and asserted that the argument inol-
Gated a disposition 10 grasp even more leIII'o.y

said he had not advocated any participation ny
the United States in the Acknowledgement or
China. but had only alluded to It's probability,
and had said merely that the United states
should be on hand to protect its own interests

the condition OF Mr.. Hobart was seri-
Gus, he was better than at any time
within the previous "a hours AT l0.3O
D. m. news came from the sick room
that the vice president was conscious
and able to recognize those about the
bedside. It was stated that no early
change for the worse need be eX-
pected.
Vice President Hobart has been i'll
ever since the close of the last con-
gress. DR.. w. L. Newton says that
between II o'clock Sunday night and
2 o'clock yesterday morning Mr.. Ho-
bort's condition was more critical than
it had been at any time during the
eight months he has been i'll. After
the passing of the critical period he
rested easily until daylight, when he
began to gain strength again, and dur
ing the day he was in good spirits and
improved some. During the day he
had been able to sit up in bed, and he
was able to talk with Mrs. Hobart and
their son, Garrett. Jr.
DR.. Newton refused to make any
definite statement as to the cause Of
Mr.. Hobart's illness. He said, how
ever, that the report that Mr.. Hobart S
mind was in any way affected by the
illness was untrue. This statement
was also made by members OF the fam
lily and by Hobart Tuttle, the vice
presidents secretary. DR.. Newton said
he might make a formal statement
relative to the illness of Mr.. Hobart
within a few days.
No one is admitted to the Hobart
house. All callers, even the neighbors
are referred to DR.. Newton, and only
Mrs. Hobart and her son are allowed
to see the sick man.
A. A. Wilson, Mr.. Hobarts lifelong
friend and law partner, said he feared
the vice president had not long tC
live. He refused to enter into detail.
relative to the malady from which the
patient suffers. but his idea was that
it was necessarily fatal, although not
Immediately so.
Senator William p. Frye, Of Maine
is now president pro TEN. OF the sen.
ate, and in the event of the death Of
Mr.. Hobart will call the senate to order
when it meets in December next.
At l:05 a. m. Dr. Newton, his wifi,
and Hobart A. Tuttle were summoned
to the residence of Vice President Ho
| bort No word came from the sicl
chamber, but the summoning of thes,

! indication.

Popular Entertainment Course.

The course Of popular entertainments
which is to begin at Ksier's opera house next
Saturday evening will be something new to
the people of this region. and something that
will undoubtedly jump into general public
favor. All the entertainments will be first
class aud any one will be fully worth the
price that is asked for the entire course on
subscription. 1t is for this reason that people
who do not subscribe for the course will be
obliged to pay 80 or rs cents for each enter
tainment. The subscription list is now opsn
at p. w. Houcks Shenandoah Drug Store

course ticket entities the holder to seat, but

THEATRICAL.


Last evening Mitchells All-Star Players
opened weeks engagement at Ferguson 8
theatre and we're greeted by an audience
that filled the theatre TO the doors. While it

toi e company Mr.. Mitchell has got together
a well balanced aggregation. The play last
night was Government Acceptance" and
