Vice President Hobart has been i'll
ever since the close of the last Con
gress. DR.. w. E. Newton says that be-
tween IL o'clock last night and 2
o'clock this morning Mr.. Hobart's con-
dition was more critical than it has
been at any time during the six
months he has been i'll. After passing
the critical period at 2 o'clock, he
rested easy until daylight, when he be-
gan to gain strength again, and dur
ing the day he was in good spirits, and
improved some. During the day he has
been able to sit up in bed, and ne was
able to talk with Mrs. Hobart and
their son, Garret Jr.
Dr. Newton refused to make any
definite statement as to the cause IF
Mr.. Hobart's illness. He said, how
ever, that the report that Mr. Hobarts
mind was in any way affected by the
illness was quite untrue. This state
ment was also made by members of the
family and by Hobart Tuttle, the Vice
Presidents Secretary. Dr.. Newton
said he might make a formal state
ment relative to the illness of Mr.. Ho-
bart within a few days.
No one is admitted to the Hobart
mousse. All even Tile l1DOI -

Mrs Hobart and her son are allowed
to see the sick man.

bart's condition was not critical this
evening, although he admitted the case
had taken a. serious turn last night. Mr.
Tuttle was kept busy replying to tele-
grams of inquiry during the day.
A A. Wilson, Mr.. Hobart's lifelong
friend and law partner, said that he
did not think Mr.. Hobart would die
tonight, but that he feared that the
Vice President had not long to live. He
refused to enter into details relative to
the malady from which the patient suf-
fered, bat his idea was that it was nee
essarily fatal, although not Immediately
so.
Dr. Newton called at the Hobart res
idence tonight at o'clock, and re-
manned but a short time. Just before
