The Urdaneta had been patroling

HOBART JO QUIT .POLITICS.
Vice President's Health
Bequires !
Betirement.
New York, September 26. The
Press says:
"It is possible that Vice-President
Hobart mayTae unable to be I presi
dent of the next session of the United
States-Senate. 1 . " ' " 3. ' '
. More than that is now recognized
as a serious probability that he will
not be in a physical condition to ac
cept the nomination as the running
mate, of President McKinley in the
next campaign. ;
"The disease from which Hobart
suffers is a kidney trouble, not acute
but of a form requiring absolute rest
for along time.- The fact has been
known to his friends, but this is the
first announcement that his illness
is so serious as to threaten an actual
withdrawal from the duties of his
public position. The illness began
with an attack of the grip in Georgia
last spring. He returned thence' to
Washington, where he suffered a
relapse, being confined to his house
for several weeks. Then he went to
Long Branch and recovered suffi
ciently to join his ; friends and the
Presideno during a, part of his out
ing at Lake Champlain.
"Since his return last Tuesday to
his home in Patterson, Carroll Hall,
the vice president has not visited his
office in the'Savings Bank building.
It is said that he can make no effort
without exhaustion. His private
secretary jays 2r.-u ; t
" 'The trouble with Mr. Hobart is
that as soon as he feels strong enough
to work he pitches in so hard that he
makes himself ill agair.
"It is now nearly six months since
the vice president, despite the long
period of rests has been able to devote
time continuouslv to business."

; - Lokdok, Sept. - 25. The text of
two dispatches sent to British High
Commissioner Milner in South Af -rica
early after adjournment of the
cabinet Friday have - been pub
lished. ,
The first expresses regret at the
refusal of the Transvaal to accept
the moderate and i conciliatory offer,
of England, and says that England
has not asserted any rights of inter
ference in the internal affairs of the
Transvall other than those derived
from the conventions between the.
conventions between the two coun
tries, but has been compelled by the
action of the Trarisvaal, in asserting
right to be a sovereign international
State, to absolutely repudiate this
claim. The note goes oh to say that
the object England had in view in
the recent negotiations was to secure
the nghts which the Transvaal had
promised to accord Uitlanders, and
which Et gland secured for them
when she granted the privilege of
self government to the Transvaal. I
declares that the refusal of the
Transvaal to accept England's offer
makes it useless to' further pursue
the disctt6sion;and England - is com
pelled to consider .the situation
afresh and formulate' her own pro
posals for the settlement of the is
sues, which will be communicated
later. .
The second not repudiates the
charge of bad faith, insinuated in
the letter from the secretary of the
state of the Transvall again&t Milner.
It refers to proposals made by the
secretary of the state of Trannsval in
regard to a joint inquiry and the
alternative proposals of England, and
says that the. British government is
unable to see any;grounds for mis
apprehension as to its answer in re
gard to non- interference, and suzer
ainity With regardto the :use of the
English language in the; Transvaal
Yolksraad, the. note says that it seems
to the English government as reason
able a proposi tio n as , to allow- D u tch
members to nse their own language.
Itiexpresses ; astonishment that; the
Transvaal hould! characterize the
tiHJthevgH
Uitlander members as unnecessary.
