should they assume the position thai
after the president the vice presiden,
was the second official parsonage of the
land?
Through all this controversy the vice
president and Mrs. Hobart maintained
a dignified silence, completely ignoring
the whole matter. and at the same time
the dignity Of the vice presidential Of
flee demanded that the vice president
should rank Immediately after the pres
ident.
All doubts on this vexed question
were promptly put at rest, however,
when the president gave state dinner,
to which the diplomatic corps and other
celebrities were invited.
That night the president took Mrs.
Hobart out to dinner and the vice presi-
dent escorted Mrs. Mckinley.
That settled the question of prece-
dence forever, and it will not crop up
again in Washington society to bother
hosts and hostesses. 1t was, indeed, a
grateful recognition of the high office
which Mr. Hobart held by the suffrage
of the people.

General Lawton foresaw that the

Last night a number of the Inde-

contained Respondent valedictory en-
titled "Adieu." The article showed
that the writer considered the game
played out. He said: '"Obliged by cir

Smallpox Patient Leaves the Pest Hou

Smallpox Patient Leaves the Pest House
and Exposes Many People.
There may be a further spread of
smallpox as the result of the highly
culpable conduct last evening of James
Lynn, the barber who has been confined
to the pesthouse with smallpox. Lynn
is rapidly recovering, but was not
ready to be discharged. He slipped
away from the pesthouse last evening
and came to town and got drunk. He
then went back to the pesthouse, in
suited DR.. Sullivan and raised a wild
disturbance generally. He finally went
to bed, but after the house was still
got up and started to sneak out again.
H. A. Green, the day guard heard him
and tried to stop him. Lynn picked up
a stick of cordwood and knocked Green
down and made good his escape. The
day guard procured assistance and 20
Gated Lynn in one of the railroad
depots. After struggle they succeed
ed in getting him back to the pest
house. 1t is not known how many peo-
pie he exposed, but as his condition is
such that he would be very likely TO
spread the disease any one who came in
contact with him is likely to be taken.

General Lawton's Soldiers Are Sick,

Aguinaldo Escapes Between
Young and Wheaton.

Manila. Nov. 21.--The gunboat Hell
ena arrived at Camaguin during the
night of Nov. u. Watchers on the
wrecked cruiser Charleston saw her
lights and thought there was fire upon
nearby island, whereupon they be-
gan to take steps to help those endan-
gered. but as the searchlights of the
Helena communicated her presence,
the village where the men Of the
Charleston We're located rang with
cheers A party from the Helena and
the Charleston visited the stranded
vessel on Nov. Is. 1t was found that
her bows were clear and that her aft
bridge was submerged. making it
doubtful whether anything can be sal
vaged.
The Zambalese coast is carefully pa
trolled by warships in order to pre-
vent the escape of Agunaldo. 1t is
believed the Baltimore has proceeded
north to receive American prisoners
from the Filipinos.
The whereabouts of Lawton and
Young are becoming as mysterious as
Aguinaldo's. The belief is beginning
to grow at Manila that Lawton has
struck the trail Of the insurgent gov
eminent" and is pursuing the minis
tiers into the Byqua mountains. 1t
has been his ambition to capture the
Filipino leader and he and Young be-
lieve that a cavalry brigade, living
on the country, could run them down
on any part of the island.
One vague report brought in by
Spanish prisoners is that Aguinaldo
and others were nearly surrounded by
Americans soon after the insurgent
chief left Tarlac, but he escaped
through the lines in PEASANTS clothes.
Officers and soldiers arriving at Ca
balanum from among Lawton's force
describe the campaign as one of great
hardships. Many men dropping out
sick were left at various towns with
out adequate supplies and attendance.
Some Of them made their way back
across terrible roads. A number of
horses were dying and many soldiers,
and even some of the officers, were
marching on, half naked, their clothes
having been torn to pieces in getting
through the jungles. Some of them
were reduced almost to breech clouts
and hundreds were barefooted, their

English literature, and when he was
graduated he won the distinction of de-
ivering the English salutatory.
His chief recrea ton in those days was
| baseball. He never lost his fondness for
| the game and several times he attend
! ed the professional contests in WASH
| ington.
During the first year of his occupancy
| of the office, the vice president was
! overwhelmed with all sorts of requests
| from demand for a bicycle to a re-
quest for musical education
| One letter that amused him i'm
| mensely requested him to send the
anxious writer money enough to buy
wig to replace one the wind had
blown away.
Another correspondent wanted set
| of false teeth and a. third contribution
| large enough to buy hen house.
Once for his own entertainment Mr.
Hobart made an estimate of what it
would cost him to satisfy the pecuniary
demands of his army of correspondents.
The amount was somewhere near $780,
900 per annum.
"They seem to forget" he said that
my salary is only $4,000 a year. An
other thing I notice is that all these
petitioners insist that they voted for
me. Perhaps that will, in measure,
account for the large vote Major Nc
kinley and I received"
Another thing that gave him great
pleasure was the naming of babies
after him, and his enjoyment was par
| ticularly acute when twins came
| along named after the president and
| himself.
In almost every instance the an
nouncement that the baby was to be
named after him was accompanied
with a photograph Of the fortunate in

So many of these photographs accu-

and named after Mckinley, Hobart and
| Hanna. More than once this distin-
guished trio had a hearty laugh over
the counterfeit presentiment Of their
little namesakes.
One of the most striking manifesto

ton Of the vice president recalls an
episode Of international dimensions.
| Sir Julian (now Lord) Pauncefote had

and some Of his fellow ambassadors
proposed to assume the position that
| inasmuch as they We're the direct rep
| resentatives of the persons of their re-
| spective rulers, they must take prece-
| dence Immediately after the president
himself, thereby surprising in rank the
| vice president
The contention was one which created
more than a nine days wonder in the
| diplomatic and social circles of Wash
| ington. Anxious hostesses, desiring to
do the proper thing, were at their wits
end to know how to arrange their dis
| tinguished guests at their tables.
