Family Will Not Believe He Cannot
Recover.
PATTERSON, N. j., Nov 10.-There was
another change for the better in Vice
President Hohart's condition today He
was able to sit UP in chair in his room
and picked up a newspaper and examined
it, eventually turning to Mrs. Hobart and
asking her to read for him. The patient
was evidently stronger today and took
more nourishment than at any time since
his bad attack of nearly two weeks ago
Despite the statements of attending ply
sicians the family still have hopes of his
ultimate recovery. They were much en-
couraged today by the fact that he was
able to sit up such long period O: time
and by the way in which he apparently
relished his food.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-A lively skirmish
for the minority leadership in the house
of representatives of the next congress
is looked for when members of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Democratic ma
tional committee, together with leading
Democrats Of the Western and Central
states, meet in Chicago Nov. 20 to dis
cuss the leadership, and plan for the
presidential campaign. Friends of Con-
gresham D. A Dearmond, of Missouri
will be here in large numbers to urge
the selection of their favorite and the
claims of James D. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, and Congressman Bankhead, of
Alabama, will also be urged. Much de-
pends upon the action of Congressman
Bailey, of Texas, the present minority
leader. Doubt has been expressed as to
his contest for the senatorship In Texas
will care to again assume the leadership
Manager Sam B. Cook, of the Demo-
cratic ways and means committee, has
invited Congressman Bailey to be pres
ent at the meeting Nov. 20, and the lat
ter's position is expected to be defined
at that time. The Chicago meeting will
be foFlowed by caucus at Washington,
and should Congressman Bailey decide
to resign the leadership in the house the
Washington meeting will decide upon
whose shoulders the Texans mantle shall
fall In the meantime friends of the 9TH

there were five absentees Assembly
Valentine of Los Angeles acted as chair
man and Assemblyman Crowder of San

oughly in touch yith the weather, as 1t

ject debated was that of patronage. There
are sixty-seven places at the disposal of
the Assembly under the Belshaw law and
there are fifty-nine Republican Assembly
men to claim them.
Southern California members are not at
all slow about claiming everything they
can get, and the object of the caucus this
afternoon was to form a Southern Cali
fornia combination by mutual agreement
to get all possible representation on the
patronage rolls for that section of the
State. But the Southern Californians had
a hard time agreeing among themselves
Finally, though, after considerable bick-
ering and debating 1t was decided that
each Republican member from the south
should have one appointment. Then the
caucus adjourned, to meet subject to call.
For the eight places over and above the
fifty-nine needed to go around once there
is going to be a grand scramble, and these
eight places were the bone OF contention

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO Jan. 1.-The hotel offices, lob
bies and bars have proven the most invit-
ing places in town to-day to the Senators,
Assemblymen, place-hunters and mem
bers of the third house. The lower floors
of the big hotels have been congested all
day. but little if anything has been ac-
complished in the way of formulating leg
islation or Strengthening out the chaotic
condition of the Senatorial contest
. In fact, the San Francisco contingent
appeared to be about the only ones who
seemed to derive any real pleasure in dis
cussing the political situation. The coun-
try members, whether from the noun
tains or valleys, were much more deeply
engrossed in the rain, which has fallen
with scarcely a minutes intermission all
day. They seemed almost to strive to
count the drops. Anxious inquiries went
up all day as to whether the downpour
extended to all parts of the State. Mines,
wheat Lelds, orchards and vineyards were
vastly more interesting topics of con-
versation than the prospects of this or
that candidate for Senator or the passage
of some measure Miners talked jubi-
lantly of full ditches speedy resumption

rooms, anxious to extend to him the COM
pliments of the season, at least. But there
were those who unhesitatingly pledged
their support to General Barnes, promls-
ing to stand by him to the last. General
Barnes had a pleasant word and cordial
handshake for everybody, and apparently
was the least interested in the big fight
of any man present.

show. l will not tire my friends out, but
as long as there is an honest hghtlng
chance for me 1 shall remain right here
on the field. When [ am convinced that l

And I want to say right here that do
not believe any man has this fight won
yet. I consider the field is still open to

restored in the party.

an open one. AS to where l look for

the production in Ohio has decreased

OPPOSITION
To the Compromise on the Army Re-
organization Bill.--Senator German
Offered an Important Amendment.

Washington, February 25.-After
two hours devoted to the consideration
of bills on the calendar to-day, the
Senate at one o'clock began the con-
sideration of the compromise army re-
organization bill. which had been
agreed upon by the members of the
militia affairs committee. Until a short
time before the measure was taken up
it was supposed that it would be passed
to-day without serious difficulty, but
when it was learned by some Senators
that the bill provided for a permanent
increase in the standing army, objec-
lions were heard and it became evident
that the measure would have to run
the gauntlet of sharp criticism.
Mr. German (Dem., Md, desired that
no authorization of permanent in
crease in the army should be given and
prepared an amendment as follows:
That each and every provision of
this act shall continue in force until
July /, 1901, and on and after this date
the officers and men, including general
officers and staff officers. shall be re-
stored to rank and numbers as pro-
vided for by law prior to April l, 1898,
except the cadets appointed prior TO
July l, 1901, and except as provided
for in the act to authorize two addition
al regiments of artillery, approved
March 8, 1885,"
Speeches in support of the bill were
delivered by Mr. Hawley Comm, Mr.
Cockrell (Mo.), Mr.. Carter (Mont.), and
Mr. Smith IN. j., and against it by Mr..
German (Md), and Mr.. Allen (Neb.) J.
The speeches of Mr. German, Mr.. Car
ter and Mr.. Cockren were particularly
notable.
