CLEN BLAND. O., July 3.-Ine Iu- neral train bearing the body of Secre- tary of State John Hay arrived here to- day. It was Mrs. Hays wish that the funeral services be private and very simple, and her wishes will be follow ed as far as possible. although the sec -etary's son said that the arrange ments may be changed because of the general public desire to pay tribute commensurate with the diplomats fame and his services to his country. 1t is probable that the city of Cleve- and will ask permission to honor Sec -etary Hay with public funeral and hat the family may be requested to permit the body to lie in state tomor- .ow.
 At the depot the funeraH train was uet by committee of twelve of the prominent citizens of Cleveland, head .d by Mayor Tom L. Johnson. The es- .ort was furnished by Troop of the Ohio national guard. of which Secre- ary Hay was a charter member. The ,asket was carried by four sergeants ,f Troop A to the funeral car and .aiken to the Chamber of Commerce. The casket was placed in the audi ;orium of the Chamber of Commerce in he identical spA where the remains of he late Senator Hanna lay in state. In accordance with the expressed wishes of Mrs. Hay the body of Sec .etary Hay did not lie in state. nor will the public be admitted to view the remains. A guard of four members of Troop A is posted around the casket md will he maintained constantly un- il the casket is taken from the Cham per of Commerce on Wednesday morn Ing. so-st.,-
