Condition Improves Slightly
During the Day.

NEBRASKA CITY. Neb., Nov. 26.-(Spe-
cial Telegram) Senator Hayward had an
other bad night and when morning dawned
his condition was not so good as on the
previous evening. This has been the course
that hiS case has taken during the last few
days and is regarded as anything but a
favorable symptom. In fact, DR.. Whitten
was considerably discouraged at the CON
dition of his patient this morning The
senator is gradually growing weaker his
pulse is accelerating and 1t is thought by
these best acquainted with the case that
he cannot survive a great while longer.
While Mr. Hayward's condition is worse In
the morning. yet during the day the symp-
toms show somewhat better condition, but
this cannot be regarded as anything per-
manent. At o'clock this morning DR.. Whit
ten issued tho following bulletin:
Senator Hayward passed a restless night
At this hour his temperature is 80 5-S;
pulse, 90; respiration, 20. and Intermittent
His mental condition remains the same
Paralysis unchanged. Acccleration of pulse
and temperature considered unfavorable."
At p. m. the following bulletin was ie-
sued by DR.. Whitten:
Senator Hayward passed a comparatively
comfortable day. He took some food and
rested and slept some, Temperature at /

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 26-There Is nothing
uncertain in thc course Hon. j. w. Bailey
will pursue regarding the minority leader
ship of the coming congress. He will sup
port Barkhead of Alabama as long as that
gentleman remains in the race. He is in
clined TO the belief that there may be a
deadlock between the candidates remaining
after Bankhead withdraws, in which event
he will propose Hon. S. w. T. Lanham, who
is his second choice believing that the
gentleman from the Eighth Texas district
will prove acceptable to the different fac

SPANISH PAPERS PROTESTING
Cuban Veterans Also Strongly Op-
posed to Civil Governorship
i'm Any Form.

HAVANA, Nov. 26.-Some 1000 people at.
tended the meeting of the delegates of the
Cuban league and national party today It.
was expected the questions of the civil gov
erncrship and the appointment of the new
bishop of Havana would be discussed. AS it
turned out these matters were only lightly
touched upon.
From every part of the islands communi-
cations are received by the local papers pro-
testing against civil governor general AL
most without exception every paper pub
lished in Spanish has objected. The ma
jority condemn the project utterly. The
minority think that any change to be made
should be by way of reducing the number of
American troops in the island. In any event
in the management of the minority subgov-
ernors should be Cubans and not subject to
any local military commanders.
The veterans who constitute the body from
which trouble would be most likely to arise
are very pronounced against a civil governor
ship IN any form. The various centers are
making their objections and passing resolu-
tions which call upon the United States con-
grees to grant absolute independence to
Cuba. La Lucha says that the veterans do
not represent Cuba. To this charge they
reply, although not representing financial
they certainly do represent the
element upon whose stability the future
form of government will largely depend for
its success.
Senior Capote, secretary of the government,
has issued an order to the civil governors
them to enforce the acceptance of
Spanish silver coin during the reign OF
Queen Isabella II.
Lieutenant Colonel Sanger, director of
census, will soon start on tour around the
island on the ingalls,, General Brooke's dis

delay Of the courts in decding customs cases
after they have passed from the jurisdiction
Of the board, 1t Is suggested that It would be
almost the most desirable consummation If
a more speedy disposition Of these cases
could be made in the circuit courts and
especially in that for the southern district
OF New York. Five-siXths OF all of the ap-
peals taken in customs cases go to this court,
where less than two months and more fire.
quently not any more than six weeks in
year are devoted to consideration Of them.
In view of this situation the board suggests
that the secretary Of the treasury recommend
to congress the enactment of law authoriz-
ing the appointment of a special circuit Judge
whose special duty shall be to hear and
decide customs cases. In addition to these
appeals there are nearly 5000 appeals known
as Jury cases. arising under the tariff act
of 1883 and prior acts, now pending and un-
decided, in the circuit court for the Southern
district of New York alone In 1889 these
cases numbered about 1000, having been re-
duced to 5000 in the interN ening ten years
The number of protests tiled by importers
for the year ending October !, 1899. under
the act of March 2, 1897, regulating the i'm
portation of teas, was 27 per cent less than
during the preceding year These cases were
all promptly decided. the board, under the
provisions of the law, avaiiing itself of the
expert services of individual members of the
tea trade in comparing the tea importation

CROWDS VISIT THE CEMETERY
Special Detail of Police Necessary
Around Receiving Vault Contain
ing Hobart's Remains

NEW YORK, Nov. 26-There was a big
crowd of visitors to Paterson, N. j., today.
The street in front of Carroll Hall, the
Hobart home, was crowded all day The
greatest crowd, however, gathered at Cedar
Lawn cemetery. There a special detail Of
police had to be maintained to keep the peo-
pie from trampling about the graves and
the receiving vault. 1t is not
likely Vice President Hobart's body will be
placed in the ground. 1t is the intention OF
the family to erect tomb upon the plot of
land where Miss Fannie Hobart lies and be-
side whose body, it is generally supposed,
the body of Mr.. Hobart would be placed
The work will probably be commenced be-
fore long so it is doubtful if the body Of the
vice president will be removed from its pres
ent resting place until the tomb of the
family is erected
