heard moving last night In Ladysmith.
Our outposts observed the British endsav-
o.ipg to scrtie toward Lonbard's kop
and Bulwama hill, where our Maxims
opsned fire. The range was too great and
therefore our artilliry began shelling
which drove the British back.
About day brsak tie British batteries

Garrett A. Hobart.

The following statements was given out
at the Hobart residence by Private Secre-
tary Evans tonight:
"The funeral services over the body OF
the late Vice President will be held at
the Church Of the Redeemer, Paterson.
N. j., ON Saturday, November s5th at
g. 80 p. m.
"Inssmuch as the seating sooommoda-
tion of the church Is entirely inadequate.
It will be necessary that seats be reserved
for the various national, state and local
officials. representatives Of the organiza-
tions with whic.. Mr.. Hobart was con-
necteo and intimate personal friends Of
the family. II is therefore impossible to
provide for the general public until vari-
GUS officials. representatives and friends
have bsen accommodated.
'Prevlous to the public exercises on
Saturday afternoon, brief service will
be held at the Hobart mansion only for
the family, the President and his cabinet
and intimate personal friends. The inter-
msnt will be at the convenience of the
family at Cedar Lawn cemetery"
Four companies Of regulars from
Governors Island Will take part In the
funeral ceremony and will probably act
rs an escort from ths late residence Of the
Vice President to the church. The mill
tary will also aot az an escort to Presi-
dent Mckinley and his party.
1t is expected that President Mckinley
and his cabinet. the Supreme court
justices and other officials from Washing
ton, will arrive before noon on Saturday
DIR. Newton, the vioe President
physician today filed the oertifi cate OF
death, giving the cause Of death AZ
"dilation OF the heart due to myocar'
ditis."
Mr.. Hobart was member OF the order
Of Free and Accepted Masons OF high
rank, q SD degree Scottish rite Mason
and night Templar. In reply to In
quiries of representatives of various Ma
sonic bodies 1t has b,sn explained to
them that the family deemed IL best not
to have Masonic funeral.
President Mckinley and cabinet will
leave Paterson Immediately after ths In
tsrment Of the remnins Of Vice President
Hobart In Cedar Lawn cemetery, and the
Unitsd States Senators will return on
the same train with him. The services In
the house will probably be conducted by
the Rev. DIR. Magic. of Paterson, the

The musical part Of the programme
will be In charge of the Orpheus club oj

at from 5000. 900 to 100000. 1t is a
character difficult to estimate as the

THEY CAN'T CROSS.
The Board Of Public Works yesterday
refused TO permit the Street Railway

The case was before the board about

that as the Norfolk county Circuit Court
had issued an order restraining the
Portsmouth company from occupying the
street on the side opposite the point at
which a crossing was asked, there was
no need Of granting the order. The case
may be fought further elsewhere, but II
is ended so far a. the Board Of Public
Works is concerned.
