New York. Nov. n.-Garrett A. Hobart.
Vice President of the United States, died
at his home in Paterson, N. j., at $3.50
o'clock this morning.
Al his bedside were Mrs. Hobart and his
son, Garrett A. Hobart, Jr., together with
DR.. William X. Newton and his wife, and
Private Secretary Evans.
Mr.. Hobart's death had been expected
for some hours. The beginning of the end
came yesterday afternoon, when there was
sudden failure of the heart, and from
This attack Mr.. Hobart never rallied. He
had been sick for a long time, and had
suffered frequently from heart failure,
and his strength had been undermined.
Gradually the failure of the hearts ac-
tion became more apparent, and soon after
midnight, last night. Mr.. Hobart became
unconscious. He remained in that con-
dition until mis- death.
Mr. Hobart's death was due directly TO
angina pectoris, complicating myocarditis.
His Last Attack.
The last change for the worse in the
Vice Presidents illness was observed yes
terday afternoon, when he was seized with
a weak spell. He had battled through
several similar attacks, and it was thought
for time he would come out of this one.
He did, but he was very weak, and it was
plain to be seen that he was sinking. He
rallied again, however and tried to be
cheerful. but toward midnight, his condl-
ton was beyond hope.
Shortly before 12 o'clock the Vice Pres
ident was again stricken with an attack
of angina pectoris, and following this he

NEWS HEARD IN WASHINGTON.
How the Succession Is Provided for
by the Hoar Law.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Although Vice
President Hobart's death was not entirely
unexpected, when the announcement
reached here this morning that he had
passed away, there was general sorrow
throughout the city.
During his brief official career in WASH
ington' he endeared himself to his asso-
ciates in the Senate and to the country
universally by the impartiality and
promptness of his rulings, while presiding
over the Senate.
Not only was he beloved and respected
officially. but socially. He was probably
the most popular occupant of the Vice
Presidents chair during the past genera
tion.
His close friendly relations with the
President contrasted strongly with the re-
lationshlp existing between former Presl-
dents and Vice Presidents. Usually those
two officials were hated rivals and thel
Vice President seemed to conduct himself
as If he expected presidential lightning to
strike him. with Mr.. Hobart It was diff
ferent. He was without presidential as
pirations and was the real 'chum" of
President Mckinley.
With Southern senators and representa-
tlves Mr.. Hobart was generally beloved,
and they We're as frequent guests at his
hospltable home as Republicans. Except
when party contests were In progress in
the Senate, he often invited Democratic
sena tors to preside during his absence
from the chamber 1t was delicate COM
pliment, which every senator appreciated.
VIII BE No Embarrassment.
Fortunately the rules of the Senate and
law of succession relieves the Senate from
any official embarrassment by the death
of Vice President Hobart. Notwithstand-
ing the explicitness of the law on the sub
ject, many persons are not familiar with
the conditions surrounding the office Of
Vice President made vacant by the death

is elected. In this connection II win be re-

from which he never again emerged.
Owing to the prostraton of Mrs. Hobart
the funeral arrangements will not be COM
pleted until tomorrow. The only step de-
cided upon is that the services shall be
held In the Church of the Redeemer at
Paterson and the interment in the family

six years ago. Rev. DR.. Magee Will
preach the sermon.
VIII he Quiet Funeral.
The church can accommodate not more
than 500 persons, and as thousands will
be eager to attend the services, it was
suggested that they be held in the arm
ory, which will accommodate 10000 per-
sons. II is known, however that Mrs. Ho-
bart wishes the funeral to be as quiet as
possible, and there is little likelihood that
the programme win be changed.
The Mayor and aldermen Of Paterson
have suggested that the body lie In state
at the city hall on Friday or Saturday
morning, and this suggestion viii proba-
bly, be carried out.
The pall-bearers have been selected, but
their names win be withheld until after

GOES TO THE ADMIRAL's SON.
Mrs. Dewey Has Transferred the
Washington Home to Him.


Washington Home to Him.
Washington Nov. 2l-George Goodwin
Dewey, Admiral Dewey's only son, Is now
the owner of the residence presented to
the Admiral by the American people,
Papers were prepared and signed early
to-day by which Mrs. Mildred Mclean
Dewey transfers all rights and titles to the
property known as 1741 Rhode Island ave
nue., this city, to George Goodwin Dewey.
This is the property which yesterday Ad-
miral Dewey transferred to Mrs. Dewey.
The papers making the new transfer
probably will be placed on file tomorrow
morning.
In explanation of the transactions prac-
tically completed to-day, a relative of the
Dewey family made the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have trans
ferred to the formers son, George Good
win Dewey, the title of the house present
e1 to the Admiral by the people of this
country. That will continue to be the home
of the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey as long
as they may live.
1T may be desirable now to say that Il
was the wish of both the Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey to provide for a proper sue
cesslon of the property. The transfer of
to-day completes the transaction begun
yesterday, and is the carrying out of the
original intention of both Admiral and
Mrs Dewey. By all those interested in
the matter, the method of transfer adopted
was considered the best and safest that
could have been adopted. 1t is to be con-
sidered naturally that the transfer was to
be the act of Mrs Dewey as we'll as that
of the Admiral. It was her desire that she
should release any claim she might have to
the property through her marriage to the.
Admiral and to do this the transfer was
made through her to the AdmiraPs son so
soon as was practical. Through the meth
cd adopted, no dispute ever can arise over
the disposition of the property."

transferred TO HIS son.
Washington Nov. 21-To-day's develop
ments in the Dewey real estate transac-
tion show that the hero Of Manila has
been moved to reverse his action in trans
fe1ring to his new wife the house which
the citizens of the nation presented to
him.
Public indignation at his act in giving
the house to his wife in the first stages
of his second honeymoon, is so universal
that the Admiral instead of avoiding the
newspa per, is this evening seeking the
leading newspapers to inform their rep
resentatives that Mrs. Dewey has trans
ferred the countrys gift to her distin-
guished husband, to the latter's son,
George. This the Admiral wishes to be un-
derstood is but the third step in what was
originally contemplated. He intimates
that the public might have waited with
their adverse criticism until the transact
tlon was completed, before condemning
him.
This explanation is hardly acceptable to
the general public, for the transfer from
Mrs. Dewey to the AdmiraPs son George

In this connection IL is reported that Mr..

criticisms being showered upon the

that the Boer officials have decided that
the representations originating with the
Boer government, bearing on the subject
