Condolences From Kings.

(OQQ0leQCGS IOIu A1uXS.
The telegraph wires running into the
executive offices from the outside world
were loaded with messages of sympathy
as soon as the news of the Secretary's
death became generally known through
out the United States and Europe
Among the first of the foreign mes
sages TO be received was one from King
Edward VII. A large number of others
from foreign potentates and prominent
personages in various walks of life
were received and may be made public
tomorrow or on Monday.
AS soon as the President was inform
ed of Secretary Hays death by a news
paper man who reached Sycamore Hill
before any one in the Roosevelt home
awoke. he wrote a telegram of condol-
ence to Mrs. Hay. at Newbury, n. H.
and announced that no matter where
The funeral was held, he would make it
point 20 attend in person.
Cabinet Members Pallbearers.
It was also announced that the mem
bers of the Cabinet would act as hon
orary palibearers.
Although no definite word on this
subject had been received from the
Secretary's family. 1t is understood the
funeral will be held at Cleveland. II
is thought that Wednesday or Thurs
day will be selected as the day. If the
latter day is decided upon, the President
will postpone his proposed visit to Ocean
Grove. N j., next week from Friday
until Saturday.
Speculation over Secretary Hays sue
cessor is, of course. the order of the
day. although neither the President mol
anyone else will discuss the matter until
aftea the deceased is laid away. Secre.
fary rr.aft is generally believed to be the
Presidents choice for the vacancy.
Reasons Against Appointment
There are only two considerations
which would seem TO weigh agains
his transfer to the post, the first 1.
that the Panama Canal project NIGH
possibly suffer in the event of his quit
ting the War Department.; and the sec
ond is that Secretary Taft is wrapped
UP in the study OF conditions in tn,
Philippines. His elevation to the Stat,
Department would divorce him from
these two important works.
The State Department would prof
greatly by the Indictment of Tafts viril
~ and sagacity into its fossil-like sys
tenn. Dry rot is evident IN a great man,
OF the bureaus. II he took hold of TIL
department. Mr.. Taft would be likel,
to work q number of important reyoIu
lions in the ancient manner of don,
things.
Secretary Taft left last night for Sal
Francisco en- route to the Philippines
II was at first thought that the dealt
OF Mr.. Hay might at least postpone til
trip. but 1t may be definitely stated tina
Secretary Taft viii carry out his origi
nal plan.
In the meantime Assistant Secretar
A. A. Adee will probably be designate
as acting Secretary of State.

Edward VII Feels Loss
Of a Personal Friend

~ LONDON, July 1.-The deepest regret
= expressed in London and throughout
all England over the death of John Hay,
American Secretary of State. In social
and official circles where Mr. Hay was
we'll known, only words OF sorrow at the
loss Of the great Secretary were 10 be
heard.
The same expression of sorrow was
heard at Buckingham Palace. King
Edward authorized the following state
ment TO be issued.
King Edwards Tribute.
The King is deeply grieved to hear
OF the death Of Mr. Hay. especially as he
had seen him SO recently, when he came
to the palace during his stay in Lon
don last month. His majesty looks upon
his death as that OF a personal friend,
which will be a great loss not only TO
Mr.. Hays own country. but to the An
gIo-American sptente''
The King like wise wrote personal tel
egram to President Roosevelt as soon
as he heard of Mr. Hays death. He sign
ed the message himself, 50 none OF the
palace officials know its contents.
All the evening papers print long bio
graphical accounts of Mr.. Hav and ex-
press their regret over his death in edi-
torial paragraphs.
Press Comments Strong.
The Globe says his loss will be fell
throughout the civilized world. and es
pecially in England. because, while al
times he was not easy to deal with. ane
pressed the interests of his country al

Potentates Regret
Death of John Hay

OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 1.-The
death of Secretary Hay has cast {.
gloom over Sycamore Hill and the
entire village of Oyster Bay.
Although Mr.. Hay had not been
frequent visitor to the town, he had
called upon several occasions to see the
President. This fact, coupled with his
close Identification with 'Neighbor
Roosevelt" made the townpeople feel
personal interest in the man and his
career
Many villagers called at the executive
offices during the day to inquire for
details of the sad event. All informa-

Synopsis of Preceding CHAPTERS

KARL GRIER, though an English boy of aver
N age health and sturdinesS, was gifted with a
sixth sense, which the author termed teLegnOmy
or far-knowing The first evidence of his extra
ordinary power was recorded when he was four
years old He fell and was hurt, and translated
to himself without difficulty the exclamations of
the persons about him. though the remarks were
given in German, French, Scottish dialect and
Indian. He understood the languages of all ami
mails we'll
One day, when living in India, he described 10
his father plot to murder neghbor, which he
perceived distinctly, though the plotters were
miles away. The plot was frustrated and the
ruffians captured solely on his information.
At ten years of age he taken TO England.
strange knowledge For instance, he discerned
the moons of the planet Jupiter, and then in the
evening Armenian commercial man fell over
board. Though il in darkness, the boy
guided the ships boat TO the man in the water,
where Karl could see him distinctly mile away.
This man, Paul Constantine, conceived an eX-
travagant affection for Karl. The young "teleg-
nomist was sent to school, where he puzzled
the teacher with his psychic feats
Grown to young manhood, Grier one night felt
a desire to recall Maggie Hutchinson, girl he
had known in India, and distinctly saw her eating
dinner with Constantine at a New-NOrk seaside
resort, although he Grier, was in England. He
called in Frank Hooper, American, the next
evening to verify his impressions OF New Ork,
which he never had seen, and TO the visitors
astonishment translated the shrieks of cat in
the courtyard. Upon Hooper's suggestion he
again sought to find Maggie Hutchinson, and
called up an Atlantic liner outward bound from
New York. The next evening he was mentally
transported to New-York again He awoke with
an exclamation about the villainy of a dramatic
man named Steindal.

But Constantine only toyed with the
banquet, and his nervous state of pre-
occupation only increased as the cham
pagne rose TO his head.
Il believe that girl will bring me bad
luck, was the first connected phrase he
uttered which Karl could associate with
Maggie Hutchinson's personality, granted
that she was the unseen attraction draw
ing him across the Atlantic. How well
he remembered the Armenian's voice.
though a decade had passed since the
last time he had heard 1t on board the
p. & O. steamship Ganges, in Tilbury
Dock, when Constantine gave him gold
watch and chain The watch was ticking
IN his waistcoat pocket at the moment,
but the chain, being of size that pro-
voked caustic undergraduate humor, lay
in a drawer.

This new voice was that of an unctu-
Gus devil. Grier, with his finely tuned
ear for vocal effects, fancied that a boa
constructor might speak with such voice.
1t was the oil in the 1nan-olive that gave
speech its smoothness.
Steindal laughed softly at his own cheap
Wit, but Constantine was not amused.
Il tell you, Steindal," he said, you
do not understand the nature of girl
brought up in the home atmosphere which
surrounded Maggie Hutchinson. Con-
found it, man, it is that sanctity OF hers
that renders her attractive to mel What
