| been In communication with the vice presi-
dents private secretary during the greater
part OF the day, but at noon the hour for the
funeral had not been definitely fixed. 1t was
stated however, that the interment would
certainly take place at Paterson and Ii was
believed that 1t would occur Saturday after
noon. When the time is definitely fixed ar
rangements will be made for the proper rep
resentation Of the senate at the ceremony.
The flags over the public buildings were
half masted early in the day. Beyond this
there we're no outward evidences Of mourn
ing and no drapings as law of congress
has put an end to the former practice of
draping the public buildings on the death of
an executive officer. All the executive de-
partments will be closed on the day of the
funeral.
Attorney General Griggs left this after
noon for Paterson. He goes as the personal
representative of the president and cabinet
and will arrange with the family OF Mr.. Ho
bart for the funeral The entire matter is
left in his hands so far as the official features
of the ceremony are concerned.
Proclamation by the President.
After the cabinet meeting the president
issued the following proclamation:
To the People of the United states-Gar-
ret Augustus Hobart, vice president of the
United States died at his home in Pater-
son, N. j., at $3.50 o'clock this morning. In
him the nation has lost one of its most
illustrlous citizens and one of its most faith
full servants. His participation In the busi-
ness life and the law-making body of his
native state was marked by answering
fidelity and by high order of talents and
attainments, and his too brief career as vice
president of the United States and presi-
dent. of the senate exhibited the loftiest
qualities of upright and sagacious states
manship. In the world of affairs he had
few equals among his contemporaries. His
private character was gentle and noble. He
will Ions be mourned by his friends as a
man of singular purity and attractiveness
hearts, while his elevated purposes, his un-
bending integrity and whole-hearted devo-
tion to the public good deserved and ac-
qured universal respect and esteem.
In sorrowing testimony of the loss which
has fallen upon the country, | direct that
on the day of the funeral the executive
offices of the United States shall be closed
display the national flag at half-mast and
that the representatives of the United
States In foreign countries shall pay appro-
PIRATE tribute to the illustrious dead for a
period of thirty days.
In witness whereof, I have set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Seal: Done at the city. of Washington
this twenty-first day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand, eighteen
hundred and ninety-nne, and of the Inde
pendence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty-fourth.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-(New York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram.) - Intelli-
geuce of the death of Vice President Hobart
reached London this afternoon, exciting no
interest or comment, as his personality is
utterly unknown here. An interesting ques-
tion arose, whether in view of the vice presi-
dents death Ambassador Choate should at
tend the state banquet at Windsor castle
in honor of the. kaiser / understand that
the view taken at the American embassy
was that as the banquet is purely a state
affair in which the ambassador represented
the American administration it was his duty
to attend it, despite the vice presidents
death.

South Omann Men VIII WrestIe.

Emil Klank and Michael Crow, we'll
known wrestlers of South Omaha, will meet
at Koutskys hall in South Omaha next
Monday night, for $50 a side. Each con-
testant has numerous supporters, who are
putting up considerable money on the out
come. Klank and Crow are expert wrest-
lers, the former, perhaps, having some
advantage in the fact that he has been
in the business longer and has been en-
gagged in numerous contests, several in
South Omaha and a number in Chicago
where he resided prior to coming to South
Omaha. Crow, however. is believed by
local sportsmen to be by no means out
classed. He is heavy and has been train
ing for some time. His bout with Dan
Baldwin a short time ago showed him
to be a clever wrestler, and although de-
feated by Baldwin, it was accomplished
only by hard work on the part of the
victor.

Judge Day Expresses Regret.

CANTON, o., Nov 21.-Judge William r.
Day of the United States circuit court of
appeals, the former secretary Of state, today
said: II am very sorry to hear of the
death of Vice President Hobart. 1t is a
great loss to the country. Mr.. Hobart was
in every way capable and popular official.
He was always a close friend and valued
adviser of the president and was thoroughly
in touch with the administration. He was
a man of such sound judgment that l know
his counsel was very highly valued by the
president.
Probably no vice president ever filled
that Office more ably and more acceptably
than Mr.. Hobart. His loss will be very
keenly felt in political and social circles"
