DepIored in St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, July 1.-The death of Secretary Hay caused the deepest inn pression here where his statesman-like qualities were highly appreciated.

He immediately wired his coincidence and ordered the flag to be half-masted over the embassy build ing and his residence, the Kleimmichael palace.
