EDWARD R." Off For the Funeral. Newbury, N..H., Special. A special r?in bearing the body of Secretary of it ate John Hay left Newbury Sunday f,,r Cleveland, O., where the interment will take place. The funeral party consisted of Mrs. Hay, the widow; Clarence Hay; Dr. Charles L. Scudder, of Boston, who at tended Secretary Hay during his last iilness; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mather, f Cleveland, the latter a sister of Mrs. IJay, and S. A. Raymond, "also a rela tive ot Mrs. Hay. to Renowned Diplomat Statesman Sunapee this season. Mrs. Payne Whitney, another daughter. Is on her way to Europe. Mr. Hay died at 12.25 o'clock morn ing. The last moments of the states man were peaceable and the end came almost without a struggle. ( The suddenness of it all was stag gering, 'i no secretary Friday had passed the most comfortable day since ni3 illness began, a week ago. He was to sit up Friday. The patient had bidden his wife and physicians good night at 10 o'clock. An hour lat er he was sleeping quietly. Almost at the stroke of 12, the Secretary was seized with a turn. Ho called feebly and a nurse responded. The sick man was breathing with great difficulty. Dr. Scudder was speedily summoned and it required but a glance for him to determine that the end was but minutes away. The household was aroused. Tho wife reached her hus band as he was breathing his last. The son, Clarence Hay, hurried into the sick room, but was too late. PULMONARY EMBOLISM. Death was caused by plumonary em bolism; according to Dr. Scudder. The patient did not suffer greatly in his last moments. Aside from great diffi culty in breathing, there was no strug gle. Stimulants were ineffective. The HAY. Secretary lapsed into unconsci ousness and seemed to fall asleep at last. The consternation of the household was complete, and it remained for Dr. Scudder to assume charge of affairs. After two hours the physician was driven to the village, where half a dozen telegrams were dispatched. The first went to President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay. The second was address ed to the State Department at Wash ington. The others were sent to friends of the family. Dr. Scudder re turned to "The Fells" 1C0 Escape. Libau, By Cable. A hundred mu tineers who refused to surrender with their comrades escaped to the forests where they are still at large. The party attacked and robbed an old man in the suburbs. During the mutiny three men were killed and six were wounded. All is quiet at the commercial port, which is situated a short distance from the war spot. The reports that navigation is interrupted here are untrue. No Effort to Capture Insurgents. St. Petersburg, By Cable. The un precedented spectacle of a powerful modern battleship cruising around in the Black Sea in the hands of a crew who, under the rules of international law, cannot be regarded as other than pirates, and of the admiral-in com mand of the rest of the Euxine fleet frankly confessing his inability to cope with the situation, and ordering the fire of his wrarships to be drawn, has stupefied Jthe Russian Admiralty. The whereabouts of the errant bat tleship Kniaz Potemkine is unknown here; no plans for capturing her have been made, and the policy of non-interference seems to be at present in vogue. Conductor Killed in Freight Wreck at Franklinton. Raleigh, Special. In a head-on collis ion of , two freight trains at Frank linton, on the Seaboard Air Line, Fri day night, Conductor Hudson, of -Wel-don, was killed.

His death, a crushing sorrow to his friends. Is to the President of this country a nat ional bereavement, and in addition it is a serious loss to mankind, for to him it was given to stand cs a leader in the effort to better world conditions by striving to advance the cause of international peace and justice. "He entered the public servhe as the trusted and intimate companion of Abraham Lincoln, and for well night forty years he served his country with loyal devotion and high ability in many positions of honor and trust; and finally he crowned his life work by serving as Secretary of State with such farsightedness of the future and such loyalty to lofty ideas, as to con fer lasting benefits not only upon our own country, but upon all the nations of the earth. As a suitable expression of national mourning, I direct that the diplomatic representatives of the United States in all foreign countries display the flags over their embas sies and legations at half-mast for ten days; that for a like period the- flag of the United States be displayed at half-mast at all forts and military posts and at all naval stations and on all vessels of the United States.

Price, Acting Secretary of State." President Announces Peace Commis sioners; Oyster Bay, N. Y., Special. Official announcement was. made by President Roosevelt of the names of the Russian and Japanese envoys to the Washing ton peace conference. The character and ability of the men selected by both bel ligerents is an earnest of the desire of their respective government to con clude, if possible, the tragedy enacted in the far East. The plenipotentiaries are: Russian, Ambassador Muravieff, for merly Minister of Justice and now am bassador to Italy, and Baron Rosen, recently appointed as ambassador to the United States to succeed Count Cassini. Japanese, Baron Komura, Minister Foreign Affairs, and Kogoro Takahira, minister to the United States.

The two Russian plenipotentiaries are Ambas sador Muravieff, formerly Minister, of Justice and now ambassador at Rome, and Ambassador Rosen. The Japanese plenipotentiaries are Baron Komura, now Minister of Foieign Affairs, and Minister Takahira. "It is possible .that each side may send one or more additional represen tatives. The plenipotentiaries of both Russia and Japan will be entrusted with full power to negotiate and con clude a treaty of peace, subject, of course, to ratification by their respect ive home governments." . Stories Exagerated. Nagales, Ariz., Special. The stories sent out from this place regarding the attack by Yaqui Indians upon the Buenos Ayres ranch in Sonora lsst Sunday in which over twenty Yaquis and several settlers and their families were said to hav been slain are the grossest exaggerations. - The only foundation for the reports was a fight occurring at the ranch in which two Indians were killed and Luis Caranza was wounded. There was no attempt at a massacre, and no troops were aent out is reported. A Mysterious Corpse. Branchville, Special. The body of a negro, who had evidently been dead for several months, was found in a swamp about two miles from here. The body was almost entirely decomposed and could not be identified, but the man had evidently been murdered, as the body when found was partly bur ied. As soon as notified of the find Acting Coroner Dukes empaneled a jury to hold the inquest, the verdict of the jury being that a party unknown had come to his death by means unknown to them. ' : ; ; Cruiser Collides With Liner. Ferrol, Spain, Special The British cruiser Carnarvon ran down the North German Lloyd steamer Coblenz in a dense fog at 4 o'clock Sunday morn ing off Cape Prior (on the northwest coast of Spain, ten miles from Ferro.) The Coblenz was badly damaged and sprung a leak. The passengers were transferred to the cruiser, which tow ed the liner here. The injury to the cruiser was trifling, but the Coblenz will have to go into dry dock. TO SINK REBEL SHIP Litest More With Ecfercnce to the fosstan loser jeals DESTROYER'S PERILOUS ERRAND Desperate Expedient Seixed Upon by the Rus-.ian Authorities to Clear the Black Sea of Mutineers and Prevent International Complications St. Petersburg, By Cable. A dispstih from Odessas states that the destroyt-r UmetilVy has left that pnrt witit the in tention of seeking out and Fin lug the Kniaz Potemkine. Vith Kusteaji anJ other unprotect ed ports of Roumania. Bulgaria anJ Turkey are at the mercy of tfce battle ship's gun3 and with the inability of Vive Admiral Kruger's squairon to Interfere with her caieer tacitly ad mitted by reti;ing them Iron com mission, this desfciate exr;elient was seized upon to pi event international complications and to rid the Bl.-ck Se. of mutineeis. This problem for a single destroyer, which is difficult and dangerous enoiTgh at best, as she will have to encuunter both the Kniaz Potemkin and it attendant torpedo boat, is now com plicated by the departure of tfce "nrUtle ship from Kustenji and ignorance as to where she will next turn up; but the dispatch from Kustenji throws a beam of hope on the dark situation by intimating that a considerable number of her crew are anxious to desert their leaders and to escape the consequent 03 of their mutinous actions. The Admiralty, however, it should be stated, does not admit that the Smetil vy has gone on such an errand, though the officials say frankly that the Knnz Potemkine must in law be regarded as a pirate. Bucharest Roumania. By Cable. The Russian tropedo boat No. 2t7, accom panied the crew of the Kniaz Potem kine to enter the port of Kustenji. Th? Roumania cruiser Elisabetha fired on the torpedo boat, but failed to hit her. The torpedo boat then retired. The incident followed the refusal cf the crew of the Kniaz Potemkine to accept the government's offer," male through the captain of the port, v,1ij positively announced that the muti neers would not be allowed to receive provisions unless they came ashore un armed and delivered up the battleship and torpedo boat to the captain of the, port. If these conditions were fulfilled, the mutineers would be given liberty to go where they pleased. The rebellious sailors conferred together, then refused the government's demands and renew ed their demand for provisions. This was again positively denied by the cap tain of the port, whereupon the Russ'an torpedo boat attempted to enter the port, but on being fired upon by the Elisabetha and evidently awed by the firm stand taken by the authorities, s-he decided to retire. Cotton Crop Letter. Messrs. W. F. Klumpp & Co. issue the following cotton crop letter: Since our crop letter cf the 1st ulto., the conditions have improved materially, and farmers have had good weather to cultivate the crops, which were very backward in a great many sections. In Mississippi, Tennessee. Texas and the Territories, the plant with the exception of being late, is healthy and making rapid growth, but thc-ro are still complaints from Louisana and Arkansas, of some fields being grassy, in Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas the crop is well cultivated and making good progress. The crop over the entire belt, is now making good progress, and we believe the Government Bureau Re port to be issued on the 3rd inst will show an average condtion of about 82. against 88 last year, and 77.1, in ICOj, however, it is too early to form an opinion as to what the final outcome will be as the crop has to piss tnrough the most trying period during late July and August, and much also depends upon the weather conditions during the picking season. The undertone in cotton shows tess strength, and with good weather coadi tions, prices are likely to seek a bw er level in the near future. Long Voyage in Row Boat. Petersburg, Special. S. C. Hurt.'W. H. Hunt and T. H. Doss, of Lynchburg, have arrived here after a long voyage in an open rowboat.

Marvin Hart, of Loulsrille, knocked out "Jack" Root, of Chicago, in the twelfth round of a fight for the heavy-weight championship. The betting odds were 3 to 1 in favor of Root. The punch which encompassed the downfall of the Chicagoan was a short, powerful jolt of the right arm to the body. The. blow was delivered with terrific force and it caught Root while he was coming up. Root reeled, tottered and fell in a heap. GOVE1S0B GUM 0.1 BOND IUTTEI Governor Glenn, in Reply to an Open Letter, Makes Public an Open Letter In Which He Discusses a M o ted Question for the Benefit of the Peo ple. Raleigh, Special. Governor Glena has made public the following corTes poadnc: Mr. EL It. Wilson, of Winston, wrote him: "The recent w-ttleroent mad by the State of the South Dakota bond suit and the bonds held by Schafer and others met with the general approval through this section and our people are gratified to know that through your great efforts and Intelligent manage ment of this matter a proper compro mise was arranged. There nojr springs op another matter, which, it seems, was not considered at the time of the settlement. As I understand, certain brokers or financial agents in New York are collecting what are called special tax bomls, and propose to make the State pay them. I learn there are a very lare number of these bonds outstanding and the State will be put to a very great expense should It be made to pay them, even by compro mise. As this is a matter of much interest to our people in this section, I would be glad if you would let me know your opinion in regard to the difference, if any exists, between the Schafer bonds and the special tax bonds, and if the latter can bo en forced against the State of North Car olina." The Governor's reply ia in thesa words: "Replying to your letter, which in terms Is very similar to a great many others that I have received from many sections of the State, I deem it best to reach all inquirers and set at rest their fears in regard to suits against our State by persons holding certain State bonds. There is a vast diffier ence between the bonds referred to ir. your letter as the Schafer Brothers and South Dakota bonds, and those desig nated as the 'special tax bonds.' In 1879 the Legislature of the State, com posed of some of our ablest and most patriotic men, appointed a joint com mittee, or rather commission, to fully consider the question of the State's in debtedness, and report what debts we legally owed and what were unjust and fraudulent, to the end that a bill might be enacted in accordance with theit findings. This commission consisted of wise, honest and fair-minded men, Who after a most searching and impartial investigation, reported that our bonded indebtedness should be divided into four classes. "First cla&s. Bonds issued before the 20th of May, 1861, upon which we should pay 40 per cent of the princi pal. "Second class. Bonds issued by vir tue of acts of 18C5, chapter 3; 1867, chapter 228; 1860 and 1861, chapter 142, upon which ve should pay 25 per cent of the principal. "Third class. Bonds issued by vir tue of the funding acts of March 10, 1856, and August 20, 1868, upon which we should pay 15 per cent of the prin cipal. "Fourth class. All bonds known as 'special tax bonds' they recommended should not be paid at any price. This report was enacted into law, as will be seen by reference to chapters 98 and 268 of the acts of 1879. Under the first act our creditors, recognizing our will ingness to pay all honest debts, not withstanding our poverty, brought on by the war and days of reconstruction, with a few exceptions came in and cheerfully settled upon the terms sug gested, taking new bonds instead of the old. Under the second act the question as to whether we should pay the frau dlent special bonds was submitted to a vote of the people, and by a major ty of one hundred and eleven thousand nine hundred and thirty the people de cided these bonds should never be paid and made their decision article 1, sec tion 6 of our State Constitution. "Thus we see that not only the Leg islature but the people refused to rec ognize these bonds, and so no Gover nor, or not even the General Assembly, could order their payment, as long as tho above article of the constitution remains in force. Schafer Brothers and a few others, refused to accept the compromise in 1879, and $10,000 of the bonds included in the second class were donated to South Dakota by Schafer Brothers, and a suit was brought in the Supreme Court of the United States, and by a divided court of five to four the court held that as North Carolina had always recognizel the validity and honesty of these bonds, which were also secured by a mortgage on the State's stock in North Carolina Railroad Company, the same could be collected, at least to the amount of the security. In view of their decision, actins under the ad vice of the Governor, the council of state and a joint committee of the Sen ate and House of Representatives, the last General Assembly, compromised the Schafer indebtedness by paying 25 per cent, on the principal (the amount offered in 1879 , with interest on same till the present time. While these bonds did not bring par when sold, still we regarded team as hon est, and were therefore willing to pay what the commissioners of 1879 found the State realized from their sale, with interest on the amount. The special tax bonds, however, issued by the Leg islature of 186S-'69, are on an entirely different basis, and not being honest, but fraudulent, should for the follow ing reasons never be collected: First, they were issued by a Legislature not legally organized or constituted; sec ond, they were part of a conspiracy and plot to defraud the Stale; third, they were placed on the market, sold for a mere bagatelle, ana the State nevsr received any value for thera; fourth, they are now past due, the ori ginal purchasers knew of their frau dulent character; they have been re pudiAted by both the Legislature and the people, and anyone now buying them would take them with notice, and could not claim to be an innocent purchaser for value. Conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity,' neither in law nor good conscience should these bonds ever be paid, and acting' under the authority vested in'ineVl would oppose their collection, if at tempted, to the utmost limit of the law.

No Hurry to Face Rebels. St. Petersburg, By Cable. A dis patch which arrived here early Thurs day morning from Scbastopol an nounced that a squadron of battle ships, the Tri Siatitelia, Slnopc and Rostlslav, with a cruiser and several torpedo boats, only started for Odessa at 8 o'clock last evening. This explains the non-appearance of the squadron at Odessa, but it is diffi cult to conjecture the reasons for de laying tho departure two days at so critical a Juncture. NF.'JY GLEANINGS.
