Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1-Deplorable as
it is, Admiral Dewey now stands before
the people of this vicinity as fallen idol.
Probably it would be impossible for the
country at large to CLEAN from any report
an adequate idea Of the real hostility which
is exhibited toward him by the very peo-
pie who exhausted every opportunity only
a few weeks ago to do him honor. The
transfer of his house to his new wife has
caused it all, and there can be no doubt
that the admiral wishes now that the man
who first proposed giving him the house
was at the bottom Of the sea. Subsequent
developments have not changed the situa-
ton. AT several theaters last night when
the admiraps name was mentioned storms
of sibilant manifestations greeted 1t, show
ing that the feeling against him is general.
at least in Washington. This morning, when
the admiral made his appearance on the
street, he was permitted to pass in silence,
but his ears must have burned at the COM
ment which followed him.
The local papers are again full Of COM
munications from irate citizens and con-
tributors, and it is said on good authority
that Secretary Crawford is kept busy open
ing and destroying letters which exhibit the
utmost candor of the writer's in telling the
admiral just what the writers think of him.
Most of these personal letters are from
contributors. Some Of them are demanding
that their money be refunded. The polt-
ical fellows who make business to spring
presidential booms and who have been ex-
pecting to spring Dewey's name on the
country, are saying that if Dewey has been
annoyed by mention of his name in con-
nection with the presidency he will not be
worried that way. any longer, since 1t is
not likely that he could muster up a cor
porars guard in any precinct in the coun-
try. AS startling as all this may seem it
is not a misstatement to say that it is al
most impossible to exaggerate the feeling
Of wrath and Indignation which has taken
possession of the whole community
Mrs. Dewey's transfer of the property to
young George Dewey this afternoon, which
was announced to-day, and the statement
of the admiral that ii was the original in.
tention of himself and Mrs. Dewey to give
the house to the young man, only bring
forth peals Of derisive laughter from the
groups who are discussing the transfer. II
is construed as surrender of the admiral
and his wife to public opinion. Why a house
given to the admiral by the people Should
even be given to young George Dewey OF
to anybody else during the admiraPs life
time is not susceptible Of reasonable ex.
planation 10 Washingtonians The whole
business is considered to be a mistake or
the part Of the admiral, and one which
has forfeited the esteem and respect OF
people who would have gone to any length
to honor him.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-The general
missionary committee OF the Methodist

THE general missionary committee of the
Methodist Episcopal Church hereby ex-
presses its unqualified disapproval of the

my, the House of Representatives cannot
permit the said Brigham II. Roberts to
sanctioning the practice Of polygamy;
therefore, We most respectfully and
most eaEnsestly call on every represenntatiye n

dying man. Now and again the patient rail-
lied and in these moments spoke TO his
wife and son. What he said is known only
TO them. Shortly before u o'clock the Vice
President was again stricken with an at
tack OF angina pectoris, and following this
he lapsed into a state of unconscious from
which he never again emerged.
During the early hours of this morning
Mr.. Hobart seemed to suffer, but during

Hobart spoke to him. He did not recog-

The Vice Presidents death was a great
shock to the people of all New Jersey and
New York. and expressions Of profound re-
gret were heard when the sad news was re-
peated.
Flags were lowered to half-mast on all
the public buildings and stores and many
citizens put out flags at half-mast as a
mark of respect to the memory of the emf
