I Promise of Early Recovery -At
Midnight the Summons Came- and
: Death Followed in 25 Minutes
? 'Ncwhury, X. II., July 1 John Hay,
ecr.(;tary of state, 'died today at his
t5i;;nnier home, The Falls, on the, shore
of Lake Sunapce. The hour of his
passing away was 12:23 o'clock -this
Viorning. The last moments of the
.'statesman were, peaceful, and the end
'eame almost without a struggle.'
I The suddenness of it all was, stag
goring. At the hour of 12 a. m. he
was quiet. In another moment nurses
and physicians found themselves sum--monedto
the bedside. There had been
'a coilaDse. Twenty-five minutes later
;all, was over. So swiftly had the end-J
"come'that the dying man passed. away
unattended by any member of his
-'family save his wife. The others, a
Von and 'a daughter, were summoned,
but they reached the bedside only to
find their distinguished parent dead.
;'' The .secretary yesterday had passed
tho must comfortable day since his
''l:i, ss began a week .ago. He- was
'.o sit up today.' The patient had bia-i
flea his wife and physicians good night
ht 10 o'clock last night. An hour later
! so was sleeping quietly. Almost at the
jitroke of 12 the secretary was seized
fsith a turn. He called feebly and a
Ritse. responded. The sick man was
; ireathing with' great difficulty. Dr.
' ; Jcudder was speedily summoned, and
t required but a glance for him to
let ermine that the end was but
ninutes away. The household was
uoused. The-. wife reached her hus
jand as he was breathing1 his last. The
ion, Clarence Hay, and the daughter,
' drs. James A. Wadsworth of Genesee,
C. Y., hurried into the sick room, but
;hcy were too late.
Death"'. was caused by pulmonary em
bolism, ' according to Dr. Scudder,
which is a form of heart disease. The
patient did not suffer greatly in his
Inf.t moments. Aside from great dif
ficulty in breathing there was no strug
gle. Stimulants were ineffective. The
secretary lapsed into unconsciousness
and seemed To fall asleep at last. Two
hours later the physician was driven
to the village, where half a, dozen tele
grams were dispatched. ' The first went
to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
The second was addressed to the state
department at Washington. The others
xrre sent to friends of, the family. Dr.
Dr. Scudder returned A!q The Falls.
At four o'clock this i morning the
. liouse was closed and it was announced
' that noone could be seen until after
o'clock. . '
The bulletin announcing thedeathH
rcid as follows: - " " --
"Secretary of State John Hay died at
12:25 o'clock this morning. The signs
'mitiediately proceeding his death were
those of pulmonary . embolism. Mr.
Hay's condition during all of Friday
had been entirely satisfactory.

Mr. Hay's Last Illness
The illness- which" so weakened Mr.
Hay's physical, powers as to .finally
bring about - death made itself ap
parent noticeably about last March.
Tired and" worn from the strain of over
work, he was ordered by his physician
to. take a' trip abroad, in order to ob
tain special treatment and a complete
rest. Some indication of the secre
tary's condition was to b-3 found, in
his collapse on the steamship pier in
NTew York city just as he wa-j' about
lo board the White Star Liner Cretic,
ound ' f or the Mediterranean. Secre
tary Hay;, however, was determined to
continue his trip, and he was carried
jn board to his cabin. !
The. return from Europe was made
about a fornight ago. Secretary Hay
yisited hi3 daughter's residence at Bay
side, L. I., and a few' days later he
tvent to Washington to take up for a
brief period his duties as secretary of
state. Last Saturday evening he ar
rived at his summer home here ac
companied by his son Clarence. Mrs.
Bay had preceded him.
' The journey fatigued the secretary,
however, and . furthermore, while
ravelling he contracted a slight cold.
A'hen Mr. Hay suddenly collapsed on
Jie afternoon of the following day his
'vlfe and son became greatly alarmed,
.'or the secretary seemed to remain in
. i dazed) condition -and not to respond!
lo their .effort to revive him. Spe
:ialist(s - from Boston were summoned
. ind came by special train.
Witlj the "administration of power
ful medicines some relief came, and
It was soon found that an operation
sould'be avoided. Medicinal and" other
.methods of treatment were continued
Hi
and the patient continued to respond
favorably to them." By Monday the
doctors were able to announce that
Mr. Hay's condition was not at all
serious and that with a few days' ab
solute rest he would undoubtedly again
take up out door life. Yesterday the
secretary cf state passed his best
day. . ... -: ..... .
At , midnight, and in a moment of
time, this Was all changed. Mr. Hay.
awoke with breathing labored and
ouick. In tones choked and feeble, so
unlike. those of a few hours before that
the nurse, could scarcely believe Mr.
Hay was speaking, the4 sick smaii mur
mured, almost in a whisper, "Come."
.The trained eye of the nurse detect
ed alarming symptoms. She hurried
for Dr. Scudder, who was in the next
room. The doctor's glance confirmed
the nurse's fears." Heroic remedies
were applied. Thej' were futile. Thon
a summons went to Mrs. Hay. The
wife was' soon .at her husband's bed
side. She gently clasped his hand.
The patient's eyes were dull. It was
seen that he was unconscious. The
.moment of- dissolution arrived so
quickly that the son and daughter
had not time to' reach the room.
Th8 Physician's Statement
Dr. Scudder then gave out the fol
lowing official statement:
"Mr. Hay's recent illness was occa
sioned by acute retention of urine,
caused by enlargement of the postrate
gland. This retention was relieved.
No operation was performed. In view
of Mr. Ray's -previous general .condi
tion, he - was most carefully watched
,eDi any complications should, arise. It
was determined that his heart and
kidneys were doing their normal work.
He responded well to the local condi
tions. Everything was apparently
progressing satisfactory-. Friday was
the most comfortable day ho had had
during Wis illness. At 10 o'clock in the
evening he was examined by the at
tending physician and hi3 condition
was found to be good. He said he felt
as if he" would have a comfortable
night. At 11 o'clock Mr. Hay was
sleeping quietly and naturally. The
nurse -lay down on a couch near the
bed. At about a quarter past 12 Mr.
Hay called the nurse because he was
having difficulty in breathing. She
summoned the doctor, but their efforts
were of no avail. Mrs. Hay was called
and reached the bedside before Mr.
Hay died. Death was due to pulmonary
embolishment."
It has been decided by the family
that Mr. Hay's funeral will be in
Cleveland. O., the home of Mrs. Hay.
It had been arranged also that the j
bods' of the secretary would be re
moved tomorrow from Newbury to
Cleveland or: a special train. During
the forenoon Mrs.' Hay received a large
number ' of . telegrams, including one
from President Roosevelt.

LET WALLACE ALONE
No Further Attention Will Be Paid
to the Canal Engineer !
Washington, July 1. The adminis
tration will make no reply to the state
ment of John F. Wallace,, published
today, in which the former chief en
gineer of the isthmian canal, defends
his course in leaving the work. Gov
ernment officials say that a3 far as the
canal commission is concerned Mr.
Wallace will not be considered in any
way.
It became known today that on June
26, the day following Mr. Taft's re
quest for Mr. Wallace's resignation, to.
which a prompt response was given,
Mr. Wallace wrote the commission say
ing that he hoped he might bb retained
by that body "in an advisory" capacity.
In view of Secretary Taft's attitude
Mr. Wallace's relations r-ith the com
mission and with the canal work ar2
severed for good. ' In this letter Mr.
Wallaca said i that it was his belief
that any member of the commission
would, under similar circumstances
have taken the same course that ne
did. He indicates' his opinion that they
would consider such a course perfectly
proper. ' ' ; t
At a meeting of -the canal commis
sion today the recommendation of , it3
engineering committee, : that all bids
relative to the dredging of Colon har
bor be rejected, -was .-approved.
The commission also confirmed the
purchase of the steamers Havana and
Mexico,' at a total cost of $1,300,000.
At the conclusion of their current
work the canal commission met in joint
meeting with General Davis, chairman
of the international board, and mem
bers of that body, in consideration of
the final plans for the canal and in
preparaion for the meeting of the in
ternational board, which- has been
called by the president for Septem

Probable Fate of the Kniaz
Potemkin Mutineers
OTHER SHIPS
The Governor of Odessa Master of
the Situation A Telegram From
Private Sources Says tne Crew of
Another Ship Has Mutinied and
the Situation Still Critical
London, July 1. A news agency dis
patch from Odessa says that the mu
tinous sailors of the Kniaz Potemkin
have been transferred to other vessel
of the Black Sea fleet. The governor
of Odessa is now master of the situa
tion in the city.
The Central News says that the crew
of the Kniaz Potemkin surrendered
after a fruitless demand for amnesty.
It is stated that of her thirty-one offi
cers nine were found alive and well,
but manacled. The mutineers, have
been distributed among the squadron.
It is believed the whole lot of them
will be shot. ' .
A private telegram dated 10 a. m. to
day states that the crew cjf a second
battleship has mutinied. The sender of
the telegram says that he sees no pos
sibility of an early resumption of work
and that the situationi' is undoubtedly
critical. j
A news agency dispatch, dated Odes
sa last night, says:
"Today the Kniaz Potemkin changed
her position and bore down upon ths
Langron quarter. At this moment five
battleships and nine other -vessels, in
cluding a torpedo boat ' and a trans
port, approached. The ships exchanged
signals with flags for some; time, then
theKniaz Potemkin entered a. circle
formed by; the warships. After an hbur
the ships departed and jtiB-Kn'az Po
temkin resumed her original position."
Fleet Returns to Sebastopol
St. Petersburg, July 1. The Black
Sea fleet .has returned to : Sebastopol.
Its action at Odessa ife unknown. The
British steamship Thistleton waited at
Odessa until this morning for the pur
pose of embarking neutrals! who might
wish to leave in case of a bombard
ment. '
M. Bompard, the French ambassador
to Russia, has received , a telegram
from the French consul at Odessa stat
ing that the Kniaz Potemkin Taverit
chesky has surrendered.
Red Flag Lowered
Paris, July 1. The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo de , Paris
says that the admiralty received yes
terday from Vice Admiral' Kruger an
intimation that his squadron had sur
rounded the Kniaz Potemkin and had
summoned her to surrender; that her
red flag had been lowered and that he
thought she would surrender before
long.
All Kinds of Conflicting Reports
London, July 1. No clear view is at
yet obtainable as to the - actual situa
tion at Odessa for the past twenty
fcur hours. Direct dispatches . have
Decn imposed on au telegrams, xi io
still impossible to verify the report
that the crew-of another battleship has
mutined" or to state definitely what ac
tion Admiral Kruker has taken.
The latest. from Odessa, says that the
battleships' Kniaz Potemkin aid the
Georgi Pobiedonostseff were still an
chored in the roads this afternoon and
that the crew of the latter had joined
the mutineers. It is possible, however,
fthatt the correspondents have been
misled by the fact that Admiral Kru
ger, who has returned with a portion
of his squadron to Sebastopol, left a
battleship at-Odessa app'arently for the
purpose of escorting the Kniaz Potem
kin to Sebastopol, where she was ex
pected to arrive this afternoon.
The "most conflicting reports of the
situation are received from St. Peters
burg. One is to the effect that the
Kniaz Potemkin surrendered, while at
the same time there is another report
that two other battleships on board of
which mutinies occurred are outside
the port.
Regarding the situation ashore, dis
patches from Odessa, sent this after
noon, state that the town is quiet and
orderly and the conditions are expected
to become normal in a few days. The
night passed .without outward incident,

Charlotte, N. C, July 1. SpeciaL
Because Hugh A. Murrill, president and
manager of the company, served notice
that the plant of the Queen City Print
ing Company would be- operated as an
"open shop" hereafter, the members of
the typographical union employed Jn
the office walked out this morning. Two
men threw up their Jobs, two others
ihaving left before the trouble, which
has been brewing fcr some tirre, came
to a head. v
Today Murrill has a non-union man in
charge of his office and a non-union
linotype operator at work.' He says he
will have his full .quota of men, em
ployed in a few days. The, trouble
grew originally out of the employment
of 'a non-union printer in the shop. The
strike will not affect otheir local shops.

engineer across the' yards. At a con
venient point hei jumped, from the
locomotive with the intention of re
turning to the round house office.
Another engine which was backing into

SAVING THE COUNTRY
How the Japanese Are Working for
the Regeneration of Manchuria
Chicago, July 1. The . Daily News
correspondent with General Nogi's
army cables as follows: - ;
General Nogi's Headquarters, Man
churia, via Fusan, July' 1. Among
other measures for the, regeneration of
Manchuria adopted by Oyama is the
quartering of Japanese soldiers in
almost evry native house throughout
the thousands of square miles of ter
ritory now held by the Mikado's men.
These soldiers set the population an
example of personal' cleanliness. The
opportunity for' personal observation of
this new manner of life is already ben
efitting the Chinese, who are begin
ning to copy the habits of their guests.
Hygienic methods have' been irltro
duced into the villages, the streets are
cleaned, regularly, public amusements
have been inaugurated, public gardens
and parks have been established, and
those already existing Improved. Large
numbers of Manchurians have been
taken into the service of the postal de
partments and mails are now regularly
distributed. - This latter innovation is
a marked social development of Man
churia. Peary's Arctic Ship

FATEFUL

Storm of Revolution in

WHAT OF THE FUTURE!
The Present Order of Things May

Spirit of Rebellion Pervades the
Army and Has Reached the Doora
of the Czar'3 Palace
London, July 1. Stronger and strong
er grows the conviction that the fate
ful hour for Russia is about to strike.
Tho revolution can not come by shrwi
stages. The moment the disaffection
of the naval and military forces be
comes general the storm will break, it
may still be held in check. The nowa
now " coming through is too confused
and too contradictory to permit- any
reliable estimate as to bow widespread
the Insurrectionary movement amongr
the troops may be. It seems to ba
confined to the reserves instead of the'
regular troops in most places. ;
The spirit of rebellion, however1, has
reached the czar's doors, at Tsarskoe
Selo. The reservists have arms, .and
the regular soldiers, except the Cos-'
sacks who might be induced to fire on;;
the general populace, can not be -relied. t
upon to attack their brothers in unU '
form.
The question of the hour Is, how can '
the Russian people be rescued from'
tyranny without an indiscriminate

suitable ror the Russian people. It is
scarcely practicable to set up a new
dynasty. A liberal constitution will
assuredly be established, and; it is said,
a representative regency will be a

nority of the czar's son.
The correspondent of the Jjaff an
Press at St, Petersburg asked a promi
nent man there who suggested this
expedient, what in that event will be
come of Emperor Nicholas? The only,
answer was a shake of the "head. It
was said in the somewhat" cryptic dis
patches in yesterday's Morning Post
that peace with Japan would not be
made by the present Russian govern
ment. This is interpreted bv the Euro
pean press', which widely discusses- the
telegram, as a mere prophecy that the
present regime will be overthrown be
fore the negotiations are finished. .
Deputation Prepares a Manifesto
St. Petersburg, July 1. The members;
of the deputation which the czar re
ceived at Peterhof have-prepared a '
manifesto at Moscow for circulation,"
among zemstvos and other bodies
throughout the country which they rep
resented. In this manifesto they de
scribe the system for an imperial dTima, '
which. M. Boulyguihe prepared and
which "the council of ministers amcnd-
ed and confirmed, as a perpetuation ofv
the present bureaucratic system. They
also tell of the refusal of all the essen
tial claims which Prince Troubetskot
and, their friends presented to the czar, j
The manifesto announces tf.at M.j
Boulyguine's scheme makes ne im-'
perial duma subordinate not only to
the council of the empire, tu limits ita
scope to that of sectional 'chnlcal
committees, which ore sutord-natc- to
each existing ministry. The duma can
not originate or prevent the adoption
of any, measure. Its proceedings ar
closed f to the public and the only re
ports which are permitted to be pub
lished are official ones, censored by a
president whom th'e czar nominates and!
who has power to close the duma when
he thinks it der'rable. The. deputation
points out that it was a breach of -faith,
to transmit the P.o'ulygulne project
from the council of ministers to the
council of the empire, as has been done, ,
instead of to the czar direct.
The action of the reform leaders so,
early in denouncing throughout the em
pire the insincerity of the promises of ai
national assembly has given deep of
fense at Peterhof.. '
The Moscow RuskI Viedomostl, thu
leading organ of the national liberals
ivrints 'to siens of an economic strika

of tax payers to rurnisn tne wnn.;
withal to continue its existence unless
a constitutionally elected assembly 1
made a permanent controlling element
of the government. It is maintained
that Japan would offer a more advan
tageous peace if it were ratified and
secured by representatives of the pco-
1 pie than if she accepted a treaty frout
! a conscienceless bureaucracy.
