V DISTINGUISHED GATHERING AT HOBART'S FUNERAL Pagantry Carefully Avoided Twenty Five Thousand People Lined the Route of the Cortege. Paterson, Nov. 25. With entire r,::n plicity and in the presence of a dis tinguished gathering? of public men ever seen in this country the last hon ors were paid to Vice President Ho bart today. In accordance with the wishes of the family all pomp and pageantry was carefully avoided. There was no long cortege nor military display other thlan was necessary to hold back the crowds, and no! bands playing funeral music. Each of the three services, 'at the house, the church and grave, was simple las could be Business was entirely suspended dur ing the services. The services at the ihouse were at tended only by the president, members of congrss, justices of the supreme court and members of the family. Af ter the brief prayer by Rev. Dr. M Gie, which concluded the services, the coffin) was borne from the house to the (hearse and a detachment of soldiers formed a guard around it. The presi dent and cabinet went out of a side door and got into carriages waiting, and were driven to the church, where they arrived laheadi of the funeral The crowds raised a cheer which was was quickly suppressed.

Twenty-five thousand people lin the route of the cortege. The church was beautifully festooned with flow ers and palms, not a speck of mourn ing being in sight. The" coffin was borne ino the church to the solemn strains of Chopin's fuenral mardh. iNo more notable congregation ever sat in a church. The eye rested ev ry where on men of national reputation. McKinley and Hay sat in the front pew and others were seated according to rank. Rev. Mr. Shaw read the psalm, and this was followed by a prayer and the singing of the bymn, "Nearer My God to Thee."

Prospects of Terrible Fight- ing in Natal. CAPE DUTCH JOIN BOERS Fears of a General Movement in Favor of the Transvaal. INDIGNATION AROUSED BY THT: xxvAiiiiiuuiS USB OP THE WHITE FLAG BY THE BOERS SHARPSHOOTERS UNABLE TO FULFILL INSTRUCTIONS AT BELMONT.. , London, Nov. 25. A majority of the British public still fail to realize the immense gravity of the situation1 in South Africa. Jubilation over General Methuen's considerable but still limit ed success at Belmont causes the aver age Englishman to ignore the former important stragetical advantages gained by the Boers in Natal, while news of a serious revolt of the Dutch In Northern Cape Colony attracts no attention. The press is chiefly respon sible for this, by-misleading the pop ular idea of the day as to the progress of the campaign. Most of the journals continue to mag nify the British successes and to min imize and obscure all news favorable the Boers. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the confident public belief that, the tide has now turned, that General Methilen will march almost unopposed to Kim'berly, that General Gitacre will soon dTive the Orange Free Staters across the Orange river toward Bloomfontein., and that General Buller will start wkithin a few days with an invincible force to the speedy relief of Estcourt and Lady Smith. HARD TIMES AHEAD. Opposed to this senseless optimism is the most sanguine military view of the situation namely, that General Me thuen must fight a far heavier battle at Modder river than he fought at Bel mont and even then the relief of Kim berly will n'ot be assured; that General Gitacre must prosecute a difficult cam paign against Stormburg and other strongholds before he can force th? Boers back and he must employ a large portion of his force to subdue the re bellious Cape Colonists. THE PROBLEMS IN NATAL. But General Methuen's and Gitacre'a tasks aTe easy compared to that which confronts the British in Natal. Bloody work is 'ahead in difficult passes of that section and appalling slaughter is in store for the British troops if the enemy behaves as it has thus far dur ing the war. In the light of all available facts it is eeneral'iy admitted by all whose opinions are valuable that England must prepare herself for some trying hours and sad sacrifices before she can hope for better news and the final tri umph of her arms. THE WOUNDED FROM BELMONT. Orange River, Cape Colony, Nov. 2i. Tn all 107 wounded, including several Boers arrived here from. Belmont. One of the Boers, a boy of seventeen, was rwm;np.nprl to take ut arms with his father who is a prisoner. The wound ed Boer said twenty men were select?d from, each Boer section to pick off British Officers. But, he added, on the advance of the British force, the Boer marksmen were so bewildered as to make it impossible to distinguish the officers -who wore the same equipment as the men . The marksmen were al so unable to make out the sergeants and othen non-commissioned officers whose stripes had been removed. CAPE DUCH JOIN. London, Nov. 25. The gravest news from Cape Town' today oomes from the northern part of the colony where it is evident numbers of DutcbJ farmers have risen and joined the invading Free State forces in Herschell and Barkley, east districts. A despatch from Queenstowmi, Cape Cottony, Gen eral Gitacre's headquarters, announces "four hundred colonial rebels including an ex-magistrate of Barkley, east, have joined the enemy" at the latter place and that the whole force is re ported marching on. Dordrecht whence it can operate and possibly intercept Gemeral Gitacre's advance to reoocupy Stormberg Junction a stratege tic point. Another dispatch says refugees arriv ing from Queenstowrii assert that La dy Grey is occupied by the colonial farmers and it Is feared there is a gen eral movement in favor of the Boers. TREACHEROUS USE OF WHITE FLAG. A further despatch says that the con firmation Of the treacherous use of the white nag- by the Boers is arousing- in dignation. The troops engaged are bit- terly complaining and it is feared, the result will be a refusal to give the Boers quarter.. An incident similar to this one occurred at the battle of Gien coe, when an officer shot by a wounded Boer, reported by the London Times correspondent at Belmont who says Lieutenant Blundell of the Grenadier Guards, was shot by a wounded Boer whom he was tending Such statements appear incredible but are now confirm ed officially the protest by Methuen, who sent the message to the Boer com mander saying: "I must ask you to warn your wounded not to shoot our officers. I must warn you not to use dum dum bullets or use a flag of truce treacherously. Such action is cowardly in the extreme and I cannot counten ance it." LIEUT. WILL WILLIAMS DIED YESTERDAY MORNING Death of Youn? Officer Regretted hy Entire Community. Lleutenmt Will H. Williams died y. s terday in the Phildelphta hospital where he had gone to undergo an op eration to remove from his head a bui Tet received while participating In the battle with the Filipinos on the 16th of August. The information came in a telegram to Dr. Swope and was receiv ed throughout the community with the keenest regret. "The mother aad s'ster of the young officer were with him at the time of his death. They are ex pected to arrive in Asheville this after noon accompanied by Dr. Battle, who will meet them at Salisbury, and the funeral arrangements Willi them be made. The sudden change for the worse in the illness of Lieutenant Williams, which was recorded in the Gazette yesterday came in the nature of a shock to his relatives and friends, as there was a strong hope of his recov ery when he 'left for Philadelphia last Monday. He had borne up remarka bly well under a trying hospital ex perience in Manila and the long joiir ney to .his home. Before leaving he expressed the belief to his father Dr. John Hey Williams, that he would speedily recover after the operation. Lieutenant Williams was 27 years of age. He left for Manila last Febru ary. Laffan Bureau Despatch. Philadelphia, Nov. 25. Lieutenant Williams, of Asheville, N. C, died in hospital this morning from the effects or an operation) Tor tne removal oi a bullet from his neck, which he recoiv ed from a Mauser rifle, while leading a charge outside of Manila. The ball struck him beneath the right eye, shat tering his jaw bone and penetrating to the back of the head. Several doctors in the Philippines declined to attempt to remove the bullet because of the network of veins in the neck and he was brought to this city. THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Yale's Judgment and Generalship Could Not Save Them. OUTPLAYED IN BOTH HALVES A SUPERB DROP KICK BY YALE'S HALF BACK BROWN TACKLED A HARD CRISIS TO SAVE THE DAY BUT FAILED. New Haven, Nov. 25. With about fifty seconds to play, the score ten to six in Yale's favor, and the Princeton eleven hopelessly beaten and composed chiefly of subs, Poe, of Princeton, im mortalized himself this afternoon by kicking a superb goal frtam the 35-yard line whjch won one of the most sensa tional games on record for Princeton. It was a magnificent achievement. The ball sailed over the goal .posts straight as though fired from a cannon. The crotvd for a moment were dazed. Then a 9cene followed seldom witnessed on the foot-ball field. Poe was hugged and kissed until almost smothered. Even some of the Yale men joined In the praise bestowed upon him. THE YALE ACHIEVEMENT. Strange to say, while Poe's field goal won the game, it was ""a" superb drop kick by Yale's half back in the first half that made Princetonvs victory look slim. From the 45-yard line Sharp kicked one of the finest goals even seen, at a time when Princeton had six to five advantage. That made the score ten to-six and it hung there in the balance until Poe's toe did the work. Had Brown of Yale kicked the goal from'McBride's touchdown the final score would have been a tie, eleven to eleveni. Brown's failure was excusa ble as the kick was from a different angle. Princeton's first six points were due to a touchdown by Reiter, from which Wheeler kicked a goal. YALE OUTPLAYED. In straight way football Yale was outplayed in both halves. Yale's ends were so vulnerable Princeton's backs were made the best gains around them. Yale's judgment and generalship was superb, but the Tigers had the ballon Yale's territory the greater part of the time. Yale never put the Princeton men to their hardest defense except in ' rm i-ncitninrp and then Yale lost the ? 1 1 rm downs. MUCH SLUGGING. Yale excelled in physical condition, and was therefore enabled to mike a great fight. But two changes were made in Yale's line-up, whereas the Tigers went to pieces in the1 second half and several men had to be retir ed. The game was replete with sen sational plays and at some periods there was no little slugging. The final score was: Princeton, 11; Yafe, 10. Twenty thousand persons witnessei the game.
