HIS CONDITION UNCHANGED
Vice President Hobart Spent Comfortable
Night and is Resting Quietly.
Taking n Lively Interest in Politics
and the War Between Great
Britain and the Beers.

PATERSON. N. j., November 6.-The
condition of Vice President Hobart was but
little changed today, except that he was
slightly weaker. He spent fairly COM
Portable night and slept a good part of the
night.
DR.. Newton again spent the night at Car
rol Hall. and said at s o'clock this morn
ing that Mr.. Hobart rested as well as
could be expected under the circumstances.
He denied emphatically the statement pub
lished in morning paper to the effect that
Mr.. Hobart was suffering from cancer of
the stomach. He said that the statement
given out by him several days ago, with
the consent of the family, entirely covered
the malady of the Vice President, and add
ed that there had been no new develop
ment of the disease His official morning
bulletin contained nothing beyond the above
statements.
Many letters and kilograms Of sympathy
have been received, and President and MRS.
Mckinley daily send a telegram and box
of roses and violets to Carol Hall.
DR.. Newton said today that Mr.. Hobart
took lively interest in questions of the
day. extending to the Boer situation an1
the coming election; but that he Or. New
tom and the members of the family dis
couraged such discussions as likely to I'M
duly excite him.
Mr.. Hobart takes no solid food, and COM
vitality, upon which he is living, is remark
able and his cheerfuness is a strong factor
in sustaining the members of the family IN
their affliction. He fully realizes that his
end is near Unless Mr.. Hobart's condi-
ton changes materially, DIR. Newton will
not issue another bulletin until the after
noon. to be followed by another at night.
Vice President Hobart resting quietly
this afternoon. During the day he partOok
of some chicken broth.
The New York World of today says:
Notwithstanding the statement that Vice
President Hobart is suffering from heart
disease. the World learned yesterday from
an undeniable authority that the distin-
guished invalid also is suffering from can
GER of the stomach.
The attending and consulting physicians
made this diagnosis some time ago, but at
the request of the family kept the fact a
secret. and n the recent statement to the
public mentioned only the fact that Mr.
Hobart was afflicted with heart disease.
1t is now one week since Mr.. HObartS i'll
ness became so critical that his death was
momentarly expected. The strain has been
a severe one for Mrs. Hobart, but she is
bearing up bravely.
y friend of the Vice Presidents asked Dr.
Newton yesterday:
is there the slightest hope Of Mr. Ho-
bart's ultimate recovery"
An we can do replied the doctor, ''is to
compare the case with others of a similar
nature. Many people have suffered from
the disease
Have there been any recoveries?'
Unfortunately not"
Mr. Hobart is still cheerful, nOtwith-
standing that he recognizes his end is near.
He suffers no pain whatever and when he
awakes from slumber he chats pleasantly
with those about him. and seems to be free
from care and worry.

head, killing him instantly. The affair
caused the widest excitement The sher-

sons whom he had deputized refused to
assist. AT last he sent a small boy to the
house to tell Shaver to come out and give
himself up, which he did. He is now in

STREET SALE OF FLOWERS.
When Properly Conducted Dealers
viii Not De Intcrfered With.


A man VINO has been in the habit of sell
ing flowers at the corner OF 18th and F
streets several days ago formally applied
to the District Commissioners for a permit
to do so. He explained that upon applying
to police headquarters he was Informed that
no objection would be made by the police,
provided he obtained permission from the
Commissioners. The applicant promised not
to obstruct the sidewalk and said he would
otherwise conduct his business in proper
manner. He also stated that he merely de-
sired to enjoy privileges which have been
granted to three others at the same point.
The matter was referred to the chief of
police for a statement as to by what au-
thority the parties in question occupy the
corner.
Persons who sell flowers on the street"
said Maj. Sylvester, in the course of his
reply, do not have permission to occupy
public space, but so far as l have been able
to observe they carry their goods you may
call them such) on trays or in baskets, en-
abling them TO move from place to place, or
in and about corners where there Is no OBJ
lection on the part of the Immediate resi-
dents or owners. 1t is matter largely con-
trolled by circumstances, and the lieuten-
ants have generally been allowed TO use
their discretion in the premises. with the
Idea that they would do what was right and
proper In keeping offensive persons and
others from engaging in business when they
should not be permitted to do So" He rec
commended that in such cases there should
be no interference by the police.
Commissioner Wight, after considering
the report of the chief OF police, has recon-
mended to his associates that the applicant
be Informed that the Commissioners have
no authority to grant him a permit for
stand at the corner mentioned. or at any
other place, for the sale of his flowers. but
that there is no objection to his selling flow
erS from a tray carried in the hands, and
provided he does not obstruct the sidewalk.
Mr. Wight also recommended that the po-
lice department be instructed accordingly,
