.SALUTED AGAIN.
Given the American Second Squadron Now After
 Body of Paul .Joees.

Cherbourg, France, July 1.-The second division of the northern squad ron composed of the battleship- Bouvines, flying the flag of Admiral Leygues and the battleships Trehou- art and Henri w arrived here to-day to assist in the honOrs to be accorded to the visiting American squadron. As the French ships entered the inner harbor the guns of the American and French squadrons exchanged salutes and soon afterwards Rear Admiral Sigsbee and Admiral Leygues each accompanied by brilliant staff ex- changed visits on their respective flag ships. The beautiful weather added to the brilliancy of the naval picture. Within the harbor the French leviath- ans had been anchored alternately be tween the American ships thus neigh tening the comparison of the ponder ousness of the French types with the trim lines of the American cruisers.
 The harbor front was beautifully decorated. The French officers are or ganizing many complimentary enter tainments and concerts.

contest. Chevrolet, in the race. low cred the worlds mile record from 0:53 to 0:52 4-5 in his huge 90-horsepower machine. On June 16 he also defeated Oldfield in two heats at a meet at Hartford, Conn. According to these performances Chevrolet has the best right to claim the honor.
 Barney Oldneld, by his admission. is taking no chances nowadays. Oldfeld has engagements now closed which will net him $15,00o. and he has al- ready made that much money this year. With Oldfield racing is busi- nsss, pure and simple, and he has ar ranged matters nicely to save trouble and time. His racing and touring car are carried through the country in a special baggage car. which may be shipped as freight or express. He car ries with him two mechanics. and thinks nothing of thousand-mile trip to ride in one race. As indicating the money which may be made by man of Oldfield's prominence. his bonus of D2,00o for driving two days at St. Paul Is cited. Oldneld rarely appears that he does not receive, win or lose. from $500 to q. 900 day. His expenses are largely borne by the makers. and much of this is profit. Hereafter nearly all will be profit. as oldheld has dispensed with his manager. Ernie Moross. and Is now booking his own dates Pro- viding he goes through this season sue cessfuliy. it is probable that South Africa and Australia will see Americas most prominent driver next winter.

It is consider ed possible here that this may have given rise to the story denying the surrender of the Knlaz Potemkine.

THE NEWS IN LONDON.

London, July 1.-The death of Sec retary of State John Hay called out many evidences of the affectiopate es- teem in which he was held in this country. Immediately after the news was conveyed to the American em- bassy the flag was half-masted and so soon as the secretary's death became known to the public a steady stream of diplomats, officials and personal friends of the secretary of state called there to leave their cards. The papers all pay tributes to MT Hay as 'an American patriot and friend of Eng land by whose death society, politics and literature are sensibly poorer" The long obituary notices contain nothing but glowing tributes to the conspicuous ability which the deceased statesman showed in all the fields of his activity and special references to his untiring promotion of the friend ship between the United States and Great Britain.
 Ambassador Whitelaw Reid has can ceIled all his immediate engagements in consequence of the death of his chief.

 It Is stated that three hundred char. red corpses of victims of the confiag rations of Wednesday night are still lying in a heap in one of the harbor sheds Describing the incendiarism, a correspondent says:
 "I saw women and young girls help ing to carry bundles of straw and fire wood. saturating them with parafiin and then lighting torches which were thrown in through the smashed doors and windows until the whole harbor front was aflame.
 ..The mob of 12OO0 to 13.0O0 per sons fell back slowly and resistingly before the rife volleys of the troops, until the machine guns were brought into action. when they literally mow- cd down the frenzied mob"
 This correspondent estimates the number killed at 1.400. without count ing those burned to death.
 Later a private message was receiv- ed from Odessa saying that the fires were extinguished and that the send CT anticipated that the town would resume its normal state in a few days. directly after the trouble with the fleet is settled

TROLLEY NABOBS HERE.
Made . Tour of the Town To-Day in
 an Automobile.

President A. NJ. Young of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Co, with General Manager J. E. Sewell, General Counsel Allan w. Paige, As sistant Counsel Hincks' and Engineer Smith, made tour of the city today in an automobile. They were a mod est appearing set of gentlemen, so much so that they might easily be mistaken for party of ordinary citi- zens. But just think of the power they wield, especially before the rail- road committee, where they have just knocked out Waterbury and its Busi- ness Mems association, Senator Clark and his cohorts and everybody else who had the courage to give them a go on the Milldale trolley project. It is true that the trolley magnates may be beaten in the general row which is yet to come off in the house and senate, but if they do the victors will know they were in fight with foemen worthy of their steel. It is supposed that the visitors included Baldwin street in their tour to see how much of the road they won't have to build this year, if ever.

oyster Bay, l.. l., July 1.-A resident . Roosevelt was shocked and grieved irl- expressibly at the death of secretary of State John Hay. The news was conveyed to him early this morning by representative of The Associated Press. The president regarded the in formation as almost incredible, as the last word he had received from the stricken leader of the cabinet was that he was improving rapidly and was quite out of danger. <.
 Oyster Bay. l.. l., July 1.-President Roosevelt sent the following message to Mrs Hay:
 Mrs John Hay, Lake Sunapee: I cannot believe the dreadful news. Pray except our deepest sympathy in your terrible bereavement. do not know what to say to express my sor- row.
 (Signed) Theodore Roosevelt.
 The president indicated his intention to attend the funeral of MT Hay, but of course could not suggest when it might be held. It is regarded as like ly however, that the funeral services will be held in Washington. The probabilities are that the burial will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, Secre- tary Hays old home.
 The death of Secretary Hay will make no change, 1t is believed, in the plans of Secretary Taft to go to the Philippines.
 It is regarded as probable that no immediate selection will be made. It is not likely that on the return of Sec retary Taft from the far eastern trip he may be appointed secretary of state, although nothing definite at this time can be said on that point.
 Mrs Hay communicated to the pres ident the intelligence of her husbands death in the following telegram: "Newbury, N. H., July 1, 1905.
 '"The President.
 Oyster Bay, l.. I.
 'NIr Hay died of sudden heart failure at 1925 this morning. His condition during the day had been perfectly satisfactory. The end came most unexpectedly.
 (Signed) Mrs Hay"
 The grief and cOnsternation Occas- toned by the sudden demise of the husband and father and master threw the Hay household into confusion. 1t was two hours before Dr Scudder and his assistant, Dr Murphy, who had taken upon themselves the sad duties of the moment, were able to leave the house. The afflicted family tenderly cared for, the physicians were driven to the village, where shortly after 3 o'clock the tidings of the death were dispatched to the head of the nation, to the state department over which Mir Hay had so long presided, to friends and to the world. Dr Scudder officially informed the Associated Press that death was due to "pulmon- ary embolism," a form of heart di- Sease.
 An hour later the doctor he'd re- turned to "The Tells" and retired after announcing that the house would be. closed until this forenoon.
