HAY WILL REMAIN.

President Urges the Secretary Not
to Resign, and Not in Vain.
Washington, Dec. 22.-In view OF the
repeated publications of late to the
general effect that Secretary Hay is
about to retire from the cabinet, a
statement is given with full authority
that Secretary Hay does not now con-
template retirement. This statement
applies not only to the present, but to
that indefinite period fixed by the con-
clusion of the negotiations necessary
to the construction of an. isthmian
canal. Also it is stated with equal
positiveness and authority that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has in the strongest
terms expressed to Secretary Hay his
earnest desire that he shall remain In
the cabinet, Of which he forms one OF
the principal props. Thus. according
to the statement, the secretary's in
clination and the presidents desires
run together ard there is no foundation
for the reports that Secretary Hay Is
to leave his post.
