HIS HEART BROKEN

Lieutenant Hobson Quoted as Saying that this
is The Result Of the Sampson

(By the Associated Press J

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 22.-During his pres
ent visit to his home in Alabama Lieu
tenant Richard p Hobson has been quo
ted as saying that Admiral Sampson is
dying of broken heart, owing to the
Sampson Schley controversy which was
the outcome of the naval battle OF San
tiago. He is quoted as follows:
when last Saturday October 18th, l
saw in the papers that Admiral Sampson
was i'll / took the next train to Boston
and spent Sunday with him. His health
is declining. His physicians are baf
fled by his malady. His organs are right,
but his health does not improve.
I'VE touched on one or two subjects.
For a little while he could not speak.
Soon he had to be carried to his room and
l did not see him again. Mrs. Sampson
told me that this great man was brooding,
was breaking his heart at the thought
that his fellow countrymen were SO un-
kind
Il said to Mrs. Sampson: When 1 visit
my Southland if the opportunity offers
itself l wish to try to tell them some
| thing of this majestic character She re-
piled: You dare not. Your Southland
| was quick and vigorous to resent what
was thought to be an attempt to take
away the laurels of one of it's great
| men,
| Il came by Washington and saw the
| Secretary of the Navy and the President.
| To them l also stated my intention and
| they both gave their consent, warn
ing me however, of what l might ex-
! pect.'
Mr.. Hobson in his speech at a public
reception here today said Admiral Samp-
son had not received simple justice at
| the hands of the American public. He
Z said:
| 'It has been sought to place him in
a despicable light before the world. To
make him an incompetent, narrow minded
man, and jealous of the fame of his con-
| temporaries-particula of one illust-
rious naval chief. AS his junior officer
| serving Under him | express the delib-
crate opinion that Admiral Sampson is
| the colossal figure of the Spanish Ameri-
| can War-the genius of the naval vic
| tory OF Santiago.
HE is unmatched today as the di-
| recting mind of war squadron on the
| seas.
| Il say this much for him because he
! is silent man. In the clamor of calumny
and detraction he holds his peace, though
| his great heart be rent with this un-
| kind cut. He suffers.

efforts of Senator Sherman and Secretary

gress. He introduced refunding act in
1867, which was adopted in 1870, but
without the resumption clause. In 1874
a committee of nine was appointed by a
Republican caucus to secure a concur
renee of action. They agreed upon a
bill fixing a time for the resumption of
specie payents at the first of January,
1879. The bill was passed, leaving it's
execution dependent upon the will of the
Secretary of the Treasury for the time
being.
In 1880 Mr.. Sherman was an avowed
candidate for the Presidential nomina-
tion and his name was presented to the
National Convention by James A. Garfield.
He returned to the Senate in 1881 and
on the expiration of his term in 1887 he
was reelected to serve until 1893, and

ate, resigning his seat in 1897 to accept

THEY WAIT ON THE OPERATORS.
The Strike Will End When AL Guarantee the
Advance Till April.
(By the Associated Press.)

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 22.-President Mitch
ell in an Interview tonight practically
admitted that the anthracite coal miners
strike would end as soon as all the oper
ators posted notice guaranteeing the
payment of ten per cent advance in
wages until April 1st. President Mitchell
said
'"The prospect of an early settlement
of the coal strike is becoming brighter
Some of the operators have not yet posted
notices, signifying their willingness to
fall in line either with the Reading Com
pany or with the proposition made by the
Lehigh Valley Company in the Hazleton
region. If all of them notify their en-
ployes by posting notices or otherwise
that an actual advance of ten per cent
will be paid each mine employe and guar
antee it's continuance until April 1st, to-
gether with the abolition of the sliding
scale l believe that the terms would be
accepted by the mine workers. The re-
duction in powder from $2.75 to 1.50 has
confused the minds of the operators,
but some of the operators have so fully
explained how contract miners would re-
ceive the full advance of ten per cent
as we'll as all other employees that l be-
come"
Although as President Mitchell says
the outlook for an early settlement of the
strike is bright, it is difficult to make
prediction as to when the end will
come. Some of the coal companies are
showing a disposition not to issue notice
guaranteeing the payment of the ten per
cent increase in wages until April. Among

the officials OF which companies are re-
ported to have declined to issue supple
mental notice. The labor leaders, how
ever, hope that the companies will in
some way make known that. they will
guarantee the payment of the increase
until April 1st.
President Mitchell appeared quite
cheerful tonight when he made the an
nounccment as above and his manner in
dicated that the time is near at hand
when all the anthracite miners now on
strike shall return to the mines. AS soon
as all the notices guaranteeing the pay
ment of the advance until April 1st are
posted. President Mitchell will call a
meeting of the National Executive Board
at which it is believed the strike will
be declared off.
The largest labor demonstration ever
held in this city took place today when
nearly seven thousand miners paraded the
streets In Il carriage at their head rode
President Mitchell VINO received an en-
thusastic ovation all along the line of
march.
President Mitchell reviewed the parade
at the end of the route, after which a
mass meeting was held, at which Pres-
dent Mitchell was the principal speaker.
He said the strike was in such a peculiar
position that it was hard to outline just
what the result would be. He believed
the time was not far distant, however

SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES.

II sweethearts were sweethearts always,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half so pleasant
In the minglng draught Of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and bushes
When the wife has frowns and signs,
And the wife's have wrathful glitter
For the glow of the sweetheart's eyes.
If lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for fortune of Eden
The Joys of this checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And cares on the anxious brow
Oft replace the sunshine that perished
At the words cf the marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
If wife and sweetheart still
Whose voice, as OF old, can charm;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill.
Who has plucked the rose, to find ever
lis beauty and fragrance increase,
AS the flush OF passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace.
Who sees in the step a llghtness:
Who finds in the form grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face.
Undimmed and unchanged. All! happy
/ Is he. crowned with such life,
Who drinks the wife, pledging the sweet
heart,
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife.
