RUSSIA APPRECI4TED HAY.
Knew Hin Well for His Policy OF Preserving
(hina's Integrity

Special cable Despatch 10 THE SUN
ST. PETERSBURG, July THE announce
ment of the death OF Secretary of State
HAY came AZ surprise to the political
world Of Russia. where His position as the
originator of the internationally adopted
policy of the maintenance of the integrity
of China ma de him more widely known in
Asian affairs than any other foreign states
man.
The absence OF biographical estimates to-
day in the leading st Petersburg papers
can he ascribed largely to the difficulty
OF Immediately narrating Mr., Hays record
In foreign policy without trespassing upon
the delicate situation surrounding the
peace negotiations. 1t is now clear that
the policy which Mr. Hay unswervingly
maintained il in principle that which Japan
Ia about to ask Russia to accept.
The personality Of the American Secretary
of State was, however, held in the greatest
regard in political circles here, Foreign
Minister Lamsdorf who yesterday tee-
graphed to Ambassador Cassini to convey
his deep condolences to President Roosevelt,
repeated his expressions of sympathy to-
day to Mr.. Meyer, the American Ambassa-
dor, during visit Of the latter to the Min
istry OF Foreign Affairs in connection with
the preliminaries Of the Washington con-
ference.
To another visitor Count Lamsdorf OBJ
served that Mr.. Hay was a man Of great
eminence, who at all times upheld the in
terests OF his country. He was states
man Of sagacity and sayoir faire Without
expressing an opinion on the policies Of
the two countries in Asia or asking whether
the standpoint Of the American Depart
ment Of State was different from Russia =,
the latter had always recognized that MIR.
Hay devoted himself wholly and with high
dat to the interests OF his country.
His policy was not Russias. but his own
national policy.
At the American Embassy. where the
American flag was tied with craze bow
Mr.. Meyer said 1t came ~ a shock to him
to learn Of Mr.. Hays death. II was a great
personal loss to President Roosevelt and
the country. From the important part Mr..
Hay had taken in great affairs his death
would not only cause grief to the United
States hut was an International loss.

MY father died Just three months ago,
and up to the time OF his death he always
kept up his old friendship for John Hay
and his father. Back East we always we're

is spelled entirely different. But | am

DARLING NOT APPOINTED.
So Says Taft Remarks on Report That
He VIII Succeed Hay.

OMAHA, Neb. July 2.-Secretary Taft and
party, en- route to the Philippines, passed
through Omaha this morning on their
special train. Although it was O'Clock
when the special arrived, Miss Alice Roose-
welt and most of the other members of the
party were yet ahed.
Secretary Taft was routed out Of his
berth by number Of army officers who
called to pay respects to the commander
aud newspaper men who wished to interview
Mr.. Taft denied that Darling had Leen
appointed to Stevens position to construct
the Philippine railroads. saving: "There
ia no hurry in selecting Mr.. Stevens's sue
cessor. There is no Use for a successor
until some time in November"
When II was suggested that the next time
he was in Omaha he might be addressed as
aMr. President" the Secretary laughed
and said: "Now. don't be 30 hard on q man
az to put the Presidential bee In his bonnet"
Concerning the report that he may succeed
Hay, he said: "The President wired for us
to continue our journey. Draw your own
conclusions.'
The Hon Serene Payne, Republican
leader of the House, said Secretary
Taft absolutely promised me that there
will lie no extra session Of Congress until
after our return from this trip, 1t was
on this condition alone that accepted the
invitation, and as we will not return until
October there will Re no session Of Con-
gress until after that date.

List, and n tho Magistrate Then 40
cepts Hin, the Responsibility Placed.
A list containing the names and addresses
OF $50 straw bondsmen was sent from the
District Attorneys Office yesterday to all
OF the police courts. The length Of the list
was matter Of surprise to the court clerks.
and indicated great competition among
professional bondsmen. Not all profess
sional bondsmen. however, are Of the STRAW
kind. Some really own property and can be
made to pay when they fail to produce
prisoner when wanted.
The straw bondsmen are usually we'll
known In the courts. Sometimes the bonds
man produces an alleged deed to property
when going security for prisoner. The
Magistrate glances at the deed and accepts
the man as bondsman, although he has
heard i'll reports Of the man.
1t il one OF the tricks Of the trade for the
bondslnan to show the deed OF a piece OF
property that has long since passed from
his possession. Fictitious deeds, 1t Ia re-
ported in the courts, have been produced In
court for the Magistrates inspection.
Accompanying the list of $50 names sent
out Yesterday was a letter from President
structed to look over the list every time
bondsman Offers himself in court and see
II his name il on the list. II the name Is
there, the clerk il ordered to point out that
fact to the Magistrate. In this way the
responsibility is PVT up to the Magistlate e..
tBate's attention to the name on the List,
then charges Of neglect OF duty will be made
against the clerk, photographer or inter-
prefer who draws up the bail bond,

PITTsBuH0, July 2.-Oyama is the name

year has been an honored occupant OF the
nineteenth floor OF the Frick Building
All the stenographers and Office boys give
him choice bits out of their lunch baskets

Oyama has always taken a great interest
in the elevators. He has heard people

concocted a little meow Of his own. which
sounds Just like the request to be taken
down Yesterday afternoon he was alone
on the floor. He stood in front h Of the ele-
stopped about ak inches above the floor

descent and he didn't stop until he reached

Solicit Or Penneld Refers q the Two Boldest
Conceptions OF His Diplomacy.


WASHINGTON, July William l.. Pen
field of Indiana, Solicitor for the State
Department who was one Of the most
trusted advisers of the late Secretary Hay
and who was closely associated with him
in the diplomatic work incident TO the
Boxer uprising, said to-day;
"His tact and skill were displayed during
the exciting days of the Boxer movement
In China While other Governments were
preparing to send troops to Pekin the
United States Government was embarrassed
by legal difficulties, but under the fiction
that there was no public war United States
troops were sent for the protection of the
legation against attacks Of lawless violence.
Secretary Hay used his influence when the
settlement came to moderate the demands
which were made on the Chinese Govern
ment for indemnites.
.lhe diplomatic steps taken by him were
successful in this respect and resulted In
the end in strengt henng the friendly re-
lations ! etween China and the United
States.
"The two loldest conceptions OF his
diplomacy undoubtedly were the open
door in China and the international agree
ment for the limitation of the area OF hos
tilities between Russia and Japan. His
communications to the Powers on these
sui jects are masterpieces Of foresight
and diplomatic fnesse. The success Of
these policies appeared for consider

Referring to the reported fears that

saying that to be associated with John
Hay was an education in statesmanship

can whose death would he more generally
or more sincerely deplored than that of
