SENATOR HOAR DIES
A Great Statesman of an
 Earlier Generation
Death Had so Long Been WithstoOd After the First Assault That Hope Began to Be Entertained.

Worcester, Mass. Sept. 3O.-deorge Frisbie Hoar. senator of the United States from Massachusetts, died at his home in this city at 1:35 o'clock this morning. s The end followed period of unconsciousness that had lasted since Tuesday and came so gently that only the attending physicians were aware of the exact moment of his end ing.
 The attending physicians despaired of the senator's life six weeks ago but such was the vitality exhibited by their distinguished patient that even they were surprised and the public was at times led to cherish a hope of his ul- innate recovery.
 On Sunday last, however, all hope was abandoned after a last unsuccess- ful attempt to administer, medicine and nourishment. Brief lucid intervals were followed by longer durations of inconsistencies until on Tuesday morning when the statesman sunk into a state of coma from which all ef- forts to rouse him proved futile.

 In this connection conspicuous among those who have visited the candidate today were John Girdner, who has been the host Of w. J. Bryan whenever he same to New York and Alexander Troop of New Haven, who served as chairman of the Connecticut state com mittee and conducted an enthusiastic campaign for Bryan four years ago.
 The incident that has created the most notable comment was the meeting between Senators German and Ray ner of Maryland, accompanied by an announcement from their close pOliti- cal associates that whatever differences heretofore existed between the Mary land leaders have been dissipated, at least so far as the present camuaign is concerned.

A Variety of Reports From
 the Far East
ONE IS NOTHING DOING
It Is Apprehended That the Russians Will Make no Serious Defense of Hukden-Port Arthur Can Hold Out for Three Months.

There continues a dearth of news from the armies in the far east. Re ports from Russian sources tell of ter rible ravages by disease in the Japan csc armies. The Liao river is said to have been damned abreast of Liao Yang in order that the flooded coun- try may protect the lief. flank of the Japanese army threatening Mukden. %
 In St. Petersburg it seems to be the expectation that KurOpatkin will not make a stubborn fight for the posses sion of NIukden.
 VladivOstok has heard that the Port Arthur garrison is confident of being able to hold out at least three months longer.
 Another stroke of i'll fortune has be- fallen the Russian navy in an accident to the cruiser Oleg which was ordered to be ready about this time for the sea with ether vessels of the Baltic squad ron. Repairs to the Oleg win prob . ably detain her six weeks.

THE RUSSIANS LEFT IT.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-NeWs~ re- ceived here from Mukden says that the Japanese assumed offensive and have captured Da pass. This is not confirm ed but the general stan thinks it is cor rect. The Russians, it is added, evacu- ated the pass without serious resistS ance.
 Da pass or Ia pass, meaning great pass, is situated about forty-fve miles southeast of Mukden, and about the same distance northeast of Liao Yang It is about 25 miles south of .hc Hun river. The Japanese attacked Da pass on Sept. 24, but according to dispatches from Harbin, were repuIsed.
