PASSING IS PEACEFUL SILENT REAPER REACHED HOBART HOME EARLY YESTERDAY. Death Had Been Expected for Some Hours—Due Directly to Angina Pectoris, Complicating Myocart ditis—Became Unconscious Soon After Midnight and Died at 8:30— Funeral on Saturday. f WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Vice Pres+ ident Hobart’s funeral on Saturday will be attended by the president and his cabinet, the supreme court, the senate in a body and a large committee from the house of representatives, be- sides many other high dignitaries of the government who will journey to Paterson to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of the vice pres- ident. Every senator has been invited to be present and the senate will meet at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York Saturday at 11 o’clock and then travel! in a body to Paterson. Sergeant at Arms Bright has en- gaged a special train to convey the president and his cabinet and the United States supreme court to Pater- son. The train will leave Washington over the Pennsylvania railroad at 7 o’clock Saturday morning and will ar- rive on the return at 11 p. m. Chief Justice Fuller was not in the city today and in his absence no one could say whether the court would at- tend the funeral in a body, but the of- ficials of that tribunal generally ex- pressed themselves as very confident that it would do so. Owing to the fact that the house of representatives is without a speaker, no arrangements with reference to the house committee were made today. Gen. Henderson, who will be the next speaker, telegraphed to Major Mc- Dowell, the clerk of the house, at his home at Sharon, Pa., and Major Mc- Dowell is expected here tonight. Upon his arrival he will consult General Henderson and other representatives who are in the city and a committee will be appointed to attend the funeral. The death of Vice President Hobart naturally recalls the death of Vice President Hendricks, who expired sud- denly of paralysis of the heart Nov. 25, 1885. At the time the question of the succession to the presidency had not been settled by law, ajthough Sen- ator Hoar’s bill providing for the presidential succession through the cabinet had been submitted on Dec. 4, 1883, and had remained unacted on. The news of Mr. Hendrick’s death was received in Washington late in the afternoon of Nov. 25. President Cleveland was at dinner when the news was brought to him by Secretary Lamont. Notices were sent at once to all the members of the cabinet and a special cabinet meeting was held that night. President Cleveland’s first act was to dispatch a telegram of con- dolence to Mrs. Hendricks, after which a proclamation was prepared making an official announcement of the vice president’s death to the public estab- lishing a usage which was followed to- day by President McKinley. On the morning following Mr. Hen- drick’s death meetings of such mem- bers of the house and senate as were in town were held at the capitol and committees from both _ legislative branches were appointed to attend the funeral services which were held in Indianapolis on the Tuesday following. Nineteen members were appointed on the house committee and the rather unusual number of thirteen from the senate. President Cleveland at first expressed his intention of attending the funeral but there was an immediate protest from all his advisers seconded by the press of both parties against his sub- jecting himself to even the slightest possibility of an accident incident to travel at a time when there was no provision for a successor in his office and when his death might have en- tailed serious consequences. After gome days the president deferred to the advice of his friends and remained in Washington. The cabinet, however, attended the funeral in a body and the supreme court adjourned over until after the services. Pending the presi- dent’s decision not to go to Indianap- olis the most elaborate preparations were made by the railway officials for the safeguarding of his train in case a journey should be mage, special trackwalkers, pilot engines and the like being detailed to insure the safety of the whole route. The vice president was in Indianap- olis at the time of his death and through a singular set of circum- stances no one wag in the room with him when he expired. The law applicable to the vice pres- idency was enacted Jan. 19, 1886, by the forty-ninth congress, first session. The main features are as follows: “Be it enacted, etc., that in case of removal, death or resignation or ina~ pility of both the president and vice * president of the United States the sec- retary of state or.....-..secretary of the treasury Or...- ...-Secretary of war aeeeees attorney general, or........post- master general of.. -secretary of the navy orF.. -secretary of the interior shall agt as pres- ident until the disability of the pres- ident or vice president is removed or a president shajl be elected.” The law further provides that when of the above cabinet officers suc- ‘@ special session of congress. A pro- vision limits the succession to those who would be eligible to the presidency under the terms of the constitution and who have been appointed with the ad- ceeds to the presidency he shall call vice and consent of the senate. The effect of the law is not to pro- vide a succession to the vice presi- dency, but merely to ensure a succes- sion to the presidency. By the death of Mr. Hobart, Sen- ator William P. Frye, of Maine, be- comes president pro tem of the senate and will discharge all the duties of the vice president as presiding officer of that body. The senate rules specifi- cally provide that no election is neces- sary at the beginning of the session. Senator Frye, accordingly, will con- tinue as presiding officer until the end of President McKinley’s adminis- tration unless he chooses to resign or the senate wishes to elect another sen- ator to the office. A curious coincidence of the death of Vice President Hobart is found in the fact that of the six vice presidents who have died in office, four died within a few days of the same day of the month in the year of their deaths, the death of Mr. Hobart being the 2ist of Nov. 1899; that of Mr. Wilson on the 22nd of Nov. 1875; that of Elbridge Gerry Nov. 23, 1814, and that of Hen- dricks Nov. 24, 1885. The other two vice presidents who died in office were April 20, 1812, and the latter April 17, 1853. H UNABLE TO RALLY Failure of The Heart Came Yesterday In the Afternoon. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Garrett A. Hobart, vice president of the United States, died at his home in Paterson, N. J., at 8:30 o’clock this morning. At his bedside were Mrs. Hobart and his son, Garrett A. Hobart, Jr., together with Dr. William K. Newton and wife and Private Secretary Evans. Mr. Hobart’s death had been expect- ed for some hours. The beginning of the end came yesterday afternoon, when there was a sudden failure of the heart, and from this attack Mr. Hobart never rallied. He had been sick for a long time and had suffered frequently from heart failure and his strength had been undermined. Gradually the failure of the heart’s action became more apparent and soon after mid- night last night Mr. Hobart became unconscious. He remained in that con- dition until his death. Mr. Hobart’s death was due directly to angina pectoris, complicated with myocarditis. Owing to the prostration of Mrs. Ho- bart the funeral arrangements will not be completed until tomorrow. The only step decided upon is that the services shall be held in the Church of the Re- deemer at Paterson and the interment in the family plot at Cedar Lawn, where the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hobart was buried six years ago. Rev. Dr. Magee will preach the ser- mon. The church can accommodate not more than 800 persons and as thou- sands will be eager to attend the ser- vices it was suggested that they be held in the armory, which will accom- modate 3,000 persons. It is known, how- ever, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the fun- eral to be as quiet as possible, and there is little likelihood that the pro- gram will be changed. The mayor and aldermen of Paterson have suggested that the body lie in state at the city hall on Friday or Saturday morning and this suggestion will probably be carried out. The pall bearers have been selected but the names will be withheld until they have been notified and have ac cepted. Nearly all the representatives of for- eign nations in this country have sent messages of sympathy to Mrs. Hobart. One of the first to express his sorrow at the death of the vice president was President McKinley, who had been no- tified by telephone by Private Secre- tary Evans. Attorney General Griggs, who was in Washington, telegraphed that he would return to Paterson at the earliest possible moment and be is expected to ‘take charge of all the de- tails of the funeral. Among o‘hers who sent messages of condolence were Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas- sador; Count G. de Lichtervelde, en- voy extraordinary and minister pleni- potentiary of Belgium; Count Cassini, Russian ambassador; Former Vice President Stevenson, Admiral Schley, Governor Voorhees of New Jersey; Senator Hanna, of Ohio, Genera] Rus- sell A. Alger, Senators Foraker and Fairbanks, General Castillo, civil gov- ernor of Santiago, and Assistant Sec- retary of War Meikeljohn. In all about 500 messages of sym- pathy were received by Mrs. Hobart. Although many regarded Mr. Ho- bart’s illness in the early and later part of the year as serious, it was not until late in October that his family and friends began to despair of his life. Mr. Hobart was then in- formed of the fatal character of his malady—dilated right heart duct myo- cardis—and he remarked: “Well, if it must be that I am to go I may as well be resigned to my fate.” On the morning of Oct. 31, it was thought that the end had come, but the patient rallied and for more than a week continued to improve and to eat solid food with a relish. Three days ago, however, his appetite failed and he gradually grew weaker and weaker. He realized a few hours be- fore he became unconscious that he was near to death and he said to those about him: “I know that my time is nearly up, but death is wel- come to me.” Mrs. Hobart remained in the room to the end and at her husband’s death bed until she and her son, who who was with her, were taken away by friends. The vice president’s death was a great shock to the people of all New Jersey and New York and expressions of profound regret were heard when the sad news was repeated. Flags were lowered to half mast on all the public buildings and stores and many citizens put out flags at half mast as a mark of respect to the memory of the eminent Jerseyman.- (Continued from page 4) THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT Court—vistrict of Minnesota.—fifth Division.
