When he died the whois country grisved,
not because tho Vice. President was dead,
but because Carrot Hobart had gone, who
had In . time only too brief impressed
himself upon them as worthy holder Of
great Office and as o distinguished
public man.
: 1t may bs that We shall drift back into
the old and false iuea which has grown
up about the Vice. Presidency. II may he
that again 1t will be treated as an oflice
for some one about to retire from pubic
life as consolation prize to defeated
faction, but should this happen cannot
believe that IL will last. and there will
certainly be no excuse for 10 now because
Mr.. Hobart demonstrated platniy to all
men the real greatues - and Importance of
the Office, and has shown that 1t ought
to he one OF the great prizes Of political
lie to be desired b. our most ambitious
men and TO be regarded not only for Its
intrinsic Importance but as stepping
stone to bisher honors. That q msn IN
two years could do this Ia the strong st
evidence Of an unusual force OF character
and of abilities Of no common order.
Mr.. Cafferty of Louisiana paid brief
tut, as he said, sincere tribute to Mr.
Hobart's memory. He had known the
Vice President slightly, bot through his
official connection with him be was az
snred OF his greatness. he regarded him
rs an ideal presiding officer. absolutely
impartial and animated only BY the
highest motives.
Mr.. Allen Of Nebraska, said 1t afforded
him a mournful pleasure nOtwithstand-
ing political differences, to testify TO his

as honest, faithful and OF eminent char
acter. He was typical American ana
In all respects thoroughly American. He
was q man of supreme oourags and at
all times dealt with members Of the Ssn =
ate justly aid impartially.
The concluding address OF the day was
dell yersd ~ MIR. kesn of New Jersey,
who said Mr.. Hobart had not only the
desire to be useful, but he knew how to
be SO by the shortest course. Loyalty was
one OF his strongest char acteristios and to
his country and to his friends he gave
his time and best ability. No question
was ever raised as to his honesty and
dednitsness of purpose.

FIGHTS ARE FAKES.

New York, Jaanuary lob. B.

he added. sit should never have been
passed and the sooner 1t 10 repealed, the
better"
In reply to the question: "Have you
become convinced that these so-cailed
toxlne bouts are brutai?' MIR. Odell
exclaimed: BRUTAL, no they are fakes.
That Is why l think the Horton law
should he repealed. The fights are fixed
before hand and the spectators are hum.
rugged. Take for instance the MoGov-
era Dixon fight at the Broadway Athletic
club last night. went down to the club
to see the light and l found 1t was fake
all through. Dixon could have won
easily, but the betting was arranged the
ether way and Dixon tried his best to let
himself get hit at every opportunity.
az never saw such farce. There was
not a stage of the game at which the
negro could not have gone In and I'm
ished his man. 1 was disgust with the
whole business. 1t was fake all
through and when left the club was
satisfied that the Horton law should be
repealed Immediately
Sporting men generally do not agree
with. Chairman O'dsll in the opinion
that the fight last night vas a fake. They
are to q man of the opinion that the tighi
between Ac6overn and Dixon was one o.
the best contests seen in this city.
Honest John" Kelley, who has fol
lowed fights for years. said today that In
all his experience he had nsv er seen
much punishment delivered by feather

SHIP OWNERS HEARD.

Washington, January 10 1.-The repre-
sentativss of the shipping and shipbuild-
ing interests were given a hearing today
by the House committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, on the measure
generally known as the shipping bill and
entitled "sIbili to promote the commerce.
and increase the foreign trade OF the
United states, and to provide auxiliary
cruissrs. transports and seamen for gov
ernmsnt use when necessary"
Ex-senator Edmunds who appeared In
behalf Of the shipping interests submitted
u g,neral argument in favor of the meas
urs. MIR. Edmunds said that one OF the
great and fundamental principles OF the
bill was that 1t gave no scope for combi-
nations or syndioates Of ship owners and
no field for trusts, as Its operations were
open to all alike and the advantages CON-
fsrred were as free as the ocean itself.
He explained the measure section by
section, urging that II we are in earnest
as to the extension of American com =
merce as every one seems TO concede
some broad measure of this character
oolld bsst aid In bringing about that
end.
