Anarchy has reigned for 48 hours.

houses. The streets all night were filled
with frenzied workmen fighting the
troops. The warehouses, quays and

DISTINGUISHED Career.

John Hay was born in Salem, Ind,
October 6, 1893 He was graduated at
Brown University in 1853 and studied
law in Springfield, Ill.,; was admitted
to practice before the Supreme Court OF
Illinois in 1861. but soon went to Wash
ington as Assistant Secretary to Prcsi-
dent Lincoln, remaining with him I'M
til his death.
Mr.. Hay acted also at President Lin
coins Adiutant and Aide de- Camp
served under Generals Hunter and Gill
more and was brevetted colonel. He
was appointed Secretary of Legation TO
France March ~. 1865, and retired
March IS, 1867. In 1867 he was ap-
pointed Secretary of Legation TO Aus
tria- Hungary, where he acted as Charge
d'Affaires until August IL, 1868.
He was appointed Secretary OF Lega-
ton to Spain June 20, 1869, and re-
tired October 1, 1870.
As all editorial writer on the New
York Tribune he was we'll known, re-
manning five years, during seven months
of which he was editor-in-chlef. lie re-
moved to Cleveland in 1875 and took an
active part in the Prudential canvasses
of 1876. 1880 and 1884. Mr.. Hay was
appointed Assistant Secretary of State

tired on September 10, 1893. to become
Secretary of State, which office he had
held since. He succeeded Judge Will

With this varied experience in public
affairs at home and abroad Mr.. Hay
was exceptionally qualified for the i'm
portant tasks which President McKin-
ley committed TO his charge, first as
Ambassador at London and later as
Secretary of State and head OF the Cabi-
net.
When Mr. Mckinley close him for
his Secretary of State it was not be-
cause of pressure; on the contrary, MIR.
Hay shrank from the responsibility. Mr..
Mckinley turned to him because he
believed him to be upright, capable,
courageous and devoted to him as his
chief without thought of any private
end
Some of Mr.. Hays notable diplomatic
triumphs were the peace negotiations
with Spain, the negotiations following
the Boxer outbreak in China and his
outlining the war zone in the Russo
Japanese War.
Mr. Hay has been called the greatest
Of American Secretaries of State, and
by some the greatest living diplomatist.
In literature Mr.. Hay attained high
place by his hstor of Lincoln and other
works. His poetical and humorous
works are of high order.
His eulogy of President Mckinley
marked him as an orator of the first
rank, and Congress passed a vote OF
thanks to him on that occasion.

Another Jump Ia Cotton.

New York Especially An active and
exciting advance took place in the cot
ton market, carrying prices to a new
high level for the season. Final quota
tons were within 3 or 4 points of the
top and firm at gain of 81 to 81 points
for the day. The advance was chiefly
due to reports of crop damage from
heavy rains in the Southwest and active
covering and aggressive bull support.
Sales for the day were estimated at Co.,
600 bales.

GAINS BY THE DISPUTE
A Better Feeling Between France and
Germany Produced.
COMPLETE AGREEMENT IS EXPECTED.
Through the Exchange Of Notes Germany
Has Been Advised Of the Anglo'Freuch
and Anglo.Spanish Understanding Affect
log Neutrality-suspicious. on Both Slices
Have Been Removed.

Paris (By Cable).-The Franco
German complications have been so TAR
overcome that complete agreement IS
considered only matter OF time. Inc
Improvement in the situation was fur
Their manifested in official and dlplo-
matte quarters, and the Bourse again
showed a marked advance in rentes and
a general firmness throughout. Inc
nervous public sentiment has entirely
disappeared and there is no further talk
of the possibility of rupture with Ger
many.
The officials say that the negotiations
now are largely question of formali-
ties and the framing of an understand
ing within the limits of the two notes
and the attendant conversations already
exchanged.
Therefore, it is not likely that France
will send another note, as her position
was fully defined in the first communi-
cation to which Germany has fully re-
piled. The tone of these notes clearly
indicates that the final understanding
will be on the basis of holding a con-
ference
The officials call attention to the fact
that Premier Rouvier's first note did not
decline conference, but on the con-
trary accepted it in principle, seeking
onlv to have its limits defined While
Germany has not been disposed to de-
fine the limits yet, verbal exchanges
have entirely removed the apprehension;
which officials previously entertained
concerning Interior designs behind the
conference.
Thus the sharp diplomatic controversy
has had the effect of producing better
general state of feeling between France
and Germany, as the preceding relations
had been more or less matter OF SuS-
picion on both sides for the past two
years. 1t is considered notable gain
for France that during the negotiations
Germany has been fully advised con-
corning the Anglo-French and Anglo
Spanish understanding affecting Moroc-
20 and had not directly dissented there
from, although contending that they do
not affect her position.
While not acquiscing in them, she has
aot openly brought them into question.
This is regarded as materially strength
ming the French position. The German
officials say an accord has practically
been completed, as there only remains
% decide the wording and go through
he protocolar formalities.

SECRETARY OF STATE

The Secretary Was Thought 10 Be on the
Road to Speedy Recovery and Was Sleeping
Ouletly at Eleven o'Ciock-At Midnight He
Called the Nurse and 10 Halt An Hour
He Was Dead.

Newbury, N. H. Especially .-Secre-
tary Of State John Hay died at I2.25
Saturday morning The signs immedi-
ately preceding his death were those of
pulmonary embolism. MIR. Hays condi-
ton during all of Friday had been en-
tirely satisfactory.

clan and two specialists who had come
from Boston by special train, and il
was expected that the Secretary would
soon be in his usual health.
The attack, which was similar to 9TH
ers experienced by Secretary Hay dur
ing recent years, was attributed TO a
cold contracted on his journey from
Washington to Newberry last Saturday

dition continued apparently to improve
and no danger was apprehended as late
as early Friday evening.
Mrs. Hay and Drs. Scudder and Muir
phv were at the Secretary's bedside
when the end came. The Secretary
bade good night to his wife and to his
attending physicians about 10 o'clock
at the close of one of the best days he
had had since his illness. The loca
trouble was clearing up satisfactory, ac-
cording to DR.. Scudder.
The Secretary suffered none OF the
old pains in his chest which character
lied his earlier illness. He had been
perfectly comfortable all day and happy
in the anticipation of leaving his bed
for the greater freedom and comfort OF
a couch.
AT II o'clock he was sleeping quietly
A few minutes after IL he called the
nurse, who at once summoned DR.. Scud-
der.
Both DR.. Scudder and DR.. Murphy
fastened to the bedside. The Secretary
was breathing with difficulty, and ex-
pircd almost Immediately aftcrward, at

Leesburg, Va. (SpeciaD.-Miss Mar,
Rogers, who mystcriously disappeared al
Saranac Lake, N. Y, last week, was
born in this city about thirty-four year:
ago. She is the daughter of Alexander
Rogers. Her mother, before her mar.
rage to Mr. Rogers, was Miss julia
Clagett, of Leesburg. For many years
Miss Rogers was engaged to marry Will
loughby N. Smith, an attorney OF Baltr
more, but would not consent to the
marriage during the lifetime of hei
mother. On account of her mother':
age, large part of the care and man.
agement of the family estate, Wood
burn, near here, devolved upon Miss
Rogers.
After her mothers death, in Febru'
airy, 1903, the estate was sold and Mis-;
Rogers moved to Leesburg, making hei
home with her sister, Mrs. R. B. Fish
burn. 1t was not long after this, how
ever, that Miss Rogers developed tuber'
culosis, and upon the advice of her ply
sician she went to Saranac Lake, &C.
companied by trained nurse and Will
loughby N. Smith. She was exception
ally popular in this community. At nc
time while in Leesburg did she appear
to suffer from melancholia or any other
disease of the mind.
Miss Rogers was not person OF great
wealth, as has been generally reported
though she had independent means. The
bulk OF her property came from legacy
of $4,000 in life insurance left by her
brother, Oden Rogers, who died in 1904
1t is believed here that she invested thi;
sum on the advice of Smith, but it is
not thought that she suffered financial
losses or that they contributed to the
cause of her melanchoia.
