HOBART. EW YORK, April 10.—Albert F. Wilcox, law partner and business associate of Garret A. Hobart, has just returned from Washington, and to-day made an authoritative statement as to the health of the Vice President. A few days ago a report was current that Mr. Ho- bart’s illness was of no moment, and that he was attending to business at his Washington home. Mr. Wilcox, at his office in Paterson, gave dif- ferent information “Aside from the doctors and nurses and Mrs. Hobart,” Mr. Wilcox said, “I was the first person to be allowed to see Mr. Hobart. As it was, I was only allowed to see him on condition that I would not remain in his room more than five minutes and would not mention business. Even President McKinley is not allowed to see the Vice President. The great trouble is that when Mr. Hobart talks even a little, a violent paroxysm of coughing follows, cuntinuing until he is completely exhausted, and sleep becomes impossible. Until this sickness, Mr. Hobart, no matter what the excitement of the day may have been, never knew what it was not to be able to sleep. No mail matter is allowed to reach him and his wife and physicians are devotedly working to protect him from his friends.” EONCHOEOROEON PRESIDENT 10 PROCLATM PEACE T0-DAY | Ratifications of the Paris direction of | Coytlayed on Second Page. 4 pucceeded here by, Rev.

NEW YORK, April 10.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Peace will prevail between the United States and Spain after 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. At that hour the formal ex- change of ratifications of the treaty of Paris will occur at the White House. In anticipation of such exchange. the State Department is preparing a formal proclamation, which will be issued im- mediately after the ceremony. nouncing to the world that peace once more exists between the Madrid and Washington Governments. Telegraphic dispatches announcing the fact will be sent to the American diplomatic repre- sentatives abroad, but no formal state- ment will be communicated to the dip- lomatic corps here, the members of which will receive their information from the proclamation of the President. Unlike many ceremonies of a similar nature which have taken place abroad, the proceedings to-morrow will be de- void of ostentation. None of the mem- bers of the diplomatic corps, Embassador Cambon, First Secretary Thiebaut and Chancellor Boeufve, com- prising the French Embassy, will be present, and the President will be sur- rounded by Secretary Hay and othe officials of the State Department, s. eral members of his Cabinet and the Executive Mansion staff. In anticipation of the return of peace consideration is being given by the President and Secretary Hay to the ap- pointment of a Minister to Spain and reappointment of Consuls in that coun- try. It is the understanding of the of- ficlals that Spain will designate the Duc d’Arcos as Minister to this coun- try, and the best information obtain- able shows that the President will probably direct the transfer of Law- rence Townsend, now Minister to Por- tugal, to Madrid.

The funeral of Stephen J. Fleld will occur Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The remains will be placed in a vault in Oak Hill Cemetery until Mrs. Field decides whether to have the body interred in California or in Massachu- setts. Her disposition at this time is to have the remains taken to Call- fornia, but Mr. Field’s brother {8 de- sirous that the ex-Justice be laid be- side his father and brothers at Stock- bridge, Mass. Rev. Henry M. Field, the brother, ar- rived in this city late last night and went immediately to the Field resi- dence. He is the only surviving mem- ber of the famous Fleld famliiy, and un- til lately was editor of the New York | Evangelist. Telegrams and messages of respect have been recelved all day at the late home of Justice Fleld. Early this morning a handsome floral plece was received from the White House bear- | ing the cards of President and Mrs. | McKinley, with kindly sympathetic messages of regrets. A number of other floral tributes have also been re- | ceived from members of the bar in this city and from out of town. Among the telegrams received by Mrs. Field was one from Embassador The members of the Supreme Court called at the Field residence in a_body to-day. The serviced here on Thursday will be held in Epiphany Church and will be private. It was the intention to give the emi- nent jurist a public funeral in the Su- preme Court chamber, but in accord- ance with the wishes of the family this plan has been abandoned and the serv- ices will be as simple and as private in their character as the ritual of the Episcopal church will permit.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, April 10— The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: For- mal objection to the installation of Malietoa Tanu as King of Sa- moa by the American and Brit- ish officials at Apia was regis- tered to-day at the State De- partment by Embassador von Holleben. | Similar action is understood | to have been taken by the Ger- | man Embassador in London. | The German Government feels that in the enthronement of Malietoa Tanu the United States and Great Britain have violated | the terms of the treaty of Berlin, which enjoins the installation of either Mataafa or Malietoa Tanu as King. The Washing- ton and London Governments should have waited for the re- port and findings of the commis- sion which is to be appointed to investigate the entire Samoan | question. Malietoa Tanu installed, Germany thinks that in justice to herself the two Goy- ernments should return the situ- ation in Samoa to that which ex- isted prior to his installation. It is not believed that the officials propose to take any such action. Germany has been informed, however, that the United States is quite willing that the commis- sion shall consider the Kingship question, and this is the farthest this Government will probably go. The German Government has also objected to the course of Rear Admiral Kautz in the mat- ter of the dissolution of the pro- visional government and the shelling of Mataafa’s forces, and is inclined to support Herr Rose. POECEOBCECECECECECRORON ONES OF ARKANSAS VERY ILL Must Resign as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 10.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Sena- tor James K. Jones of Arkansas, chair- man of the Democratic National Com- | mittee, who has been ill at his resi- dence in Washington for the last two months, is in such a serious condition that it is impossible that he will be able to take any active part in the work of the committee again. His heart is affected in such a way that the least excitement is dangerous for him, and his physician insists that he shall be kept as qulet as possible. It is therefore probable that he will re- sign before any of the active prelimin- ary work of the campalgn is under- taken. If he does so his successor to serve until the convention of the party in 1900 will be selected by the present Na- tional Committee.

Special Dispatch to The Call. PANA, IIL, April 10.—A deadly riot, the most serious disturbance that has occurred here since the union miners instigated the strike in April, 1898, was enacted to-day, resulting in seven per- sons being shot to death and nine wounded as follows: THE DEAD. FRANK COBURN, citizen. XAVIER LECOCQ, Frenchman, union miner. FOUR NEGRO MEN. ONE NEGRO WOMAN. THE WOUNDED. Frank Landsworth, shotin head; Mrs. Henriot, shot in the left arm; Will Kuhn, laundryman, shot in legs and hand; Cyrus Stickler, shot in back; Al- bert Vickers, shot in hand; George Kimball, shot in right arm; Henry Stevens, negro, shot six times; Cass Proffitt, shot in foot; Carrie Felix, shot in breast The situation quieted down at night- fall and no more trouble was losked for. Adjutant General Reece, Colonel 5. E. Culver and three companies of in fantry arrived at 6 o’clock this evening oun special trains, gnd perfect order was maintained throughout the town from that t.me on. The troops now here are Company H from Decatur, under Captain Castle; Company C. from Springfield, under First Lieutenant Bauman, and Com- pany B from Taylorville, under Captain B Fearish. The soldiers immediately began patrolling the streets throughout the entire town. Miners stood about in groups talking, but there was noc out- ward manifestation of excitement, al- tnough it was evident that great in- dignation existed, especially among the tcwnspeople, over the shooting of the ciiizens and women. Henry Stevens, a negro miner, who has long been considered a leader among his assoclates, is declared to have been the direct cause of the riot. It is said he was also (hes letade'll; of the riot that oc- st September. cuSrLree\qfllg has plong cherished hatred for Sheriff Downey and has openly made threats that he would kill him on sight. Yesterday he was on the streets with a revolver, saying he was looking for Sher- iff Downey. He continued this to-day and Sheriff Downey came upon him in Lo- cust street. The Sheriff commanded Ste- vens to deliver the revolver and told him he was under arrest for carrying con- cealed weapons. Stevens without a word instantly leveled his weapon and fired at the Sheriff, but the bullet went wild. The Sheriff {mmediately opened fire on the negro. Deputy Sheriff Cheney, hearing the shooting, rushed to join Sheriff Dow- ney. gtevens succeeded in gaining Penwell's general store in Locust street, the prin- Cigal thoroughfare, two blocks distant, and took his stand in the entrance. He hesitated there an instant and then stepped to the pavement, leveled his re- volver down the street toward his ap- proaching pursuer and fired. The bullet missed the deputy and struck Xavier Le- cocq, a Frenchman who was standing in the entrance of a nearby saloon, square- 1y in the forehead, killing him instantly. gtevens then turned and ran into the Penwell store and sought refuge behind a counter. By this time the streets were rapidly filling with men, all of whom bore weapons. Downey dashed into the store, followed by Deputy Joe Mullen and sev- eral citizens. fusi..ade of bullets was poured into the store and Stevens emptied Continued on Fourth Page, S N D S A A e o e e e e e : CARDINAL JAMES GIBBONS OF BALTIMORE, ¢ L I D R O R O o e S e . ] MYSTERY [N DREYES CASE IS INCREASED Private Secretary of Colonel Henry Follows His Master to a Suicide’s Grave. Special Dispatch to The Call. D R e PARIS, April. 11.—M. Louillier, who was private secretary to the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who committed suicide at Mont Valerien Fortress last August after confessing to hav- ing forged a letter largely in- strumental in delaying the Dreyfus revision, killed ‘himself last evening. Louillier was a re- tired sergeant-major of artillery and had been in ill health. After Henry's suicide he lived at Saint Quentin in Isna, where he com- mitted suicide on receipt of a telegram summoning him to Paris. P T e aeaey B e e LR o S o FARIS, April 11.—The Figaro this moruning publishes the evidence given tefore the Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus case by General Gallifet, ex- President Casimir-Perier;" General La Roche, under whom Freystaetter serv- ed in Madagascar; Professor Ocagne of the Polytechnic School; Lonquety, the witness referred to by General Roget as having seen Dreyfus in Brussels; Professor Painlove and M. Hadamara, Dreyfus’ cousin. General Gallifet said he knew nothing about the confession said to have been made by Dreyfus. Only Darras, who was the commander on the occasion of Dreyfus' degrada- tion, went to General Gallifet that aft- ernoon to express his pain over the in- cident. He said that Dreyfus had never ceased to protest his innocence. Gen- eral Gallifet did not know of the drum- rolling incident. Asked his opinion re- specting Colonel Picquart, General Gal- lifet replied: “He served five years under me and earned the profoundest esteem of Generals Brault, Darras, Bailloud and Millet. He was loved and respected. It was with the greatest pleasure that I gave evidence in behalf of Colonel Picquart.” General Zurlinden sent a message to General Gallifet to say that his evi- dence had produced the best effect. General Zurlinden promised to ask for the lightest disciplinary punishment in consideration of Picquart's preliminary punishment at Mont Valerien. Hence the witness was astonished when Gen- eral Zurlinden a month later inflicted the heaviest punishment. General Gal- lifet was asked to intercede in Pic- quart’s behalf, but formally refused to do so, though, he added, he had never withdrawn his affection for him. Gen- eral Gallifet declared that when it be- came known that he was to give evi- dence he was solicited by the generals not to appear. They were persuaded that Esterhazy was innocent and Pic- quart guilty. Marquis de Gallifet testified that the re- lations of Comte Esterhazy with the for- Continued on Second Page. L CARDINAL GIBBONS TALKS OF THE PAPACY & ALTIMORE, Md., April 10.—In anticipation of the probable early demise of the Pontiff, who, while reported to be in no immediate danger, is nevertheless not likely to live many days by reason of his ad- vanced age and feebleness, The Call's correspondent came here to have an audience with his Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons. Though having attalned the eminence of a Cardinal he, like the Pope, cele- brates m: regularly and is, as well, a father confessor. He was in the con- fessional of the cathedral when The Call’s ‘representative was received at the residence. Cardinal James Gibbons received his red cap at Rome in 1886. He is sixty- five years of age, but appears much younger. His figure is slight; he s something below the average height. His" features are clear-cut, and keen gray eyes brighten with a most kindly expression while he talks. “Your Eminence, the San Francisco Call has asked me to visit you and ask you to tell its readers something about the condition of the Pope, his possible successor in case of his demise and the manner of electing a Pope in the Sacred College.” Cardinal Gibbons replied: “I thank you for your visit and thank the San Francisco C for its interest. There is not much that I can tell you concerning the physical condition of his Holiness. The press dispatches keep me better advised than private re- ports from Rome. While we all hope | and pray that he may live yet for many d; he is a very old man. '‘As to the selection of his successor, we shall not discuss that to-day. As to the manner of his election by the Sacred College it is well known that the Cardinals perform this duty in the Vatican at Romé. I understand that the Rev. Peter A. Bart, a most able man and formerly resident of Balti- more, is the author of a little volume giving an account of this most interest- ing and impressive ceremony, and I could not do better than recommend that you examine it.” The Call representative suggested that his Eminence had been mentioned, especially in Paris, as a most worthy successor to Pope Leo XITL Cardinal Gibbons smiled in depreca- tion of this suggestion, ané shook his head sadly. “No, I would rather stay at home,” said he An article recently published, giving an account of a ceremony attendant upon the death of a Pope, was called to his notice. “Yes,"" satd~he, “at-the death of the Pontiff it has been the custom for near- 1y two thousand years to attest his dis- solution by tapping the forehead with a silver mallet, after which the fact of his demise is formally promulgated. There is, from time to time, a deviation from these ceremonies, but I believe the one you mention has been changed little, if any.” Pope Sixtus V fixed the number of Cardinals at seventy, but at the present time there are only fifty-seven.
