sighted twenty-five miles off that
port. .,a..... b..
Odessa, July 5.-Comparative order
has been restored here and work is
being resumed in the harbor.

Odessa, owing to the troubles at the

The proclamation says the Kniaz
Potemkine will respect neutral terri

quested that the proclamation be for
warded to the powers.
Odessa, July 5.-It is reported per
sistently in army and naval circles
that the Kniaz Potemkine is being
stalked and pursued by several tor
pedo boats which intend to sink her
The crews of these boats consist of
officers who volunteered as stokers,
so there is no danger of their refusal
to obey orders and destroy the rene
gade ship. The Kniaz Potemkine's
hours are declared to be numbered.
Regret is expressed at the destruc-
tion of such splendid and powerful
battleship and at the loss of life, but
this is thought to be preferable to the
continued dishonor of her presence
in the Black sea, commanded by mu-
tineers. Several torpedo boats were
reported to be off Odessa last night
There are other signs of activity
among the torpedo fleet. The where
abouts of the Kniaz Potemkine is not
known here, but she is reported to
have left Kastendji.

FUNERAL Of
JOHN HAY

Cleveland, Ohio. July 6.--At almost
exactly noon yesterday the body Of
John Hay was laid to rest in Lakeview
cemetery. Around the open grave at
the last moment stood with bowed
heads the president and the vice presi-
dent of the United States and men,
bers of the present cabinet and men
who had in former years served with
the late secretary of state and also in
the official family of President Nc
Kinley There were many others
who would willingly have paid trib-
ute of honor and respect to Mr.. Hay.
but it was the wish of his family that
the funeral should be conducted for
John Hay-the man they knew and
loved in private life, and not for the
brilliant and forceful premier whose
name is honOred wherever clean and
successful craftsmanship is esteemed
among men.

his countrymen, who appreciated his
character and achievements, stood
aside at his familys wish, to take hos
tage of the future for the endurance
Of his name.
The drive to the cemetery from the
Chamber of Commerce, where the
body had laid in state, occupied the
greater part of an hour, and it was
almost IL o'clock when the cavalry
halted at the side of the Wade chapel.
Forming a line on one side of the
roadway the horsemen stood with pre-
scented sabres while the casket was
carried into the little chapel followed
by the family and the president and
the members of the cabinet. The serv.
ices were strictly private, and indeed,
the chapel is so small that it was diff

ed persons to find room within it's
walls.

TRUST STATUTES
ARE KNOCKED OUT

Des Moines, July 2.-Holding that
the Iowa statute under which Messrs
Wilcox, Howell, Hopkins and Skin
ner were arrested on testimony given
by B. F. Loose is unconstitutional,
Judge McVey yesterday ordered the
release OF the four insurance men I'M
der their writ of habeas corpus.
The opinion of Judge McVey, which
is lengthy one, holds that under the
constitution of the United States the
statute cannot hold, and he regards
it as his duty to declare the statute
invalid He finds that the penalty for
an infraction OF the statute for COM
panies having a large capitalization is
greater than for companies having a
small capital stock.
The case lad it's beginning in the
justice court of F. E. Duncan, where
proceedings were instituted by B. F..
Loose. The four men waived their
preliminary hearing, and were ar
rested by Sheriff Lopez. They I'M
mediately commenced habeas corpus
proceedings, and were released on
their own recogniZances.
County Attorney Miller says he
will carry the matter to the higher
courts for final decision.
