The Vice-President.

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 31.-The fol-
lowing statement of the origin and de.
velopment of the illness OF Vice-Presi-
dent Hob lrt is authorized by his family
and by the physicians who have attend
ed him:
"There are several reasons why the exact
nature Of Vice-President Hobart's malady
has been withheld from the public. In the
first place. the family has desired to reserve
to itself the privilege Of retaining such facts
as were of a private nature, at the same
time recognizing the right Of the public to
accurate Information in the case Of an in
valid holding high public office. More
over, there were reasons connected with
the Vice Presidents relations with the gov
eminent which prompted a similar policy
This was done, however, not for the pur-
pose of secrecy, bat TO avoid embarrass
ment
The illness OF the vice president may be
said to date from the fall of 1898, prior to
his return TO Washington in November. At
that time his physicians observed symp-
toms of embarrassed respiration, with fire.
quent attacks of angina pectoris. This re-
sponded readily to treatment, and when
the vice president went to Washington in
the latter part of November he was in good
health. He stood remarkably we'll the
strain and excitement incidental 10 the
opening of Congress, and he was making
