SECRETARY HAY DIES
,GNp SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED.
Death Occurs at Newbury, New Hamp-
shire-Resuits from Obstruc-
tion Of the Lunus,

Newbury, N. H., July 1.-secretary
OF State John Hay died at 1925 this
? morning. The signs Immediately pre-
ceding his death were those of pulmon-
airy embolism. Mr.. Hays condition
during all of Friday had been entirely
satisfactory.
The bulletin of Secretary Hays
death was signed by Charles L. Scud-
der. M. D.. and Fred T. Murphy. NJ. D..
Mrs. Hay and Drs. Scudder and Muir
ply were at the secretary's bedside
when the end came. The secretary
babe good night to his wife and to his
attending physicions about 10 o'clock,
at the close of one of the best days he
has had since his illness.
The local trouble was clearing up
satisfactorily, according to DR.. Scud-
der. The secretary suffered none OF
the old pains in his chest which char
acterized his early illness.
He had been perfectly comfortable
all day and happy in the anticipation
of leaving his bed for the greater free
dom and comfort of couch. At IL
O'Clock he was sleeping quietly.
few minutes after IL o'clock he
called to the nurse, who at once sum-
moned DR.. Scudder. Both DR.. Scud-
der and DR.. Murphy FASTENED to the
{ bedside. The secretary was breathing
with difficulty and expired almost i'm
-Tsdtately afterward at 1925.
Secretary Hay arrived here from
Washington a week ago to-day, his
health apparently greatly benefited by
his recent European trip and the
course of baths he took at Bad Neu-
helm.
On Sunday last the secretary was
stricken with an illness believed at
the time to be uraemia. So serious
was his condition that Dr. Charles l..
Soudder of Boston and DR.. Fred T.
Murphy of Boston were summoned to
attend him.
In order that there might be no de-
lay a special train was chartered for
their use and the two physicians made
record-breaking trip from Boston to
this town.
After an examination of the patient
DR.. Scudder announced that Secretary
Hay was suffering from the effects of
chill contracted on the trip from
Washington to this place, similar to
an attack he had about four years ago.
1t was believed then that Mr.. Hay
would be fully recovered within a few
days. Each day since that time the
Information given out regarding the
secretary's condition has been of a
most encouraging character.
Yesterday it was announced that the
secretary's improvement was more
marked than on the day before. 1t
was thought that the warm weather
would hasten his recovery and it was
anticipated that he would be able to
leave his bed on Sunday.

Attorney General Miller Decides Thst
Governor Peabody Exceeded
His Authority.


Denver. June 2s.-According to an
opinion handed down yesterday by
Attorney General Miller. Gen. John
Chase is brigadier general OF the Ma
tional Guard OF Colorado, and the
appointment by Governor Peabody Of
Col. Edward verdeckberg last Janu-
airy to the position was illegal and
void.
Copies OF the opinion were sent to
Governor Mcdonald. General Chase
and Colonel verdeckberg's attorney
late in the afternoon. Colonel Yer
deckberg. It is understood, will at
once institute quo warranto proceed
ings to Dust General Chase, although
Rice w. Means. Colonel VerdeckberE'g
attorney. declared last night that no
decision as to further action had been
reached nor would be until he had read
the opinion, copy OF which he had
not yet seen, and until It had been
submitted to Colonel VerdeckberK,
who is now In California.
Governor Mcdonald said last night
that he would let the entire matter
rest now on Attorney General Killers
decision. as he understood the ques-
ton was to be fought out in the courts
whichever way the opinion had re-
suited.
According to the attorney general,
the entire question OF the removal OF
General Chase by Governor Peabody
hinges on the fact that while the gov,
ernor had perfect right to remove the
5rigadier general OF the National
Guard of Colorado for cause and to
appoint a successor. he was Obliged
by constitution. statute and army reg,
ulations to state the cause and to order
forthwith court martial to determine
the merits of such cause.
I'VE have gone into this matter at
great length" concludes the opinion,
and We are unable to reach any other
conclusion than that the order made
by the governor on January 8. 1905.
Is void and therefore did not remove
General Chase from the office of brig
adler general; that the appointment
OF Colonel Verdeckberg to the position
OF brlgadier general was Illegal and
void. because the law provides for
only one brigadier general" 80.
The opinion further says: THE or
der OF Gov-fnor Peabody provided for
the removal OF General Chase for
cause. The authorities already cited
from this state and others show that
removal for cause must be accom-
panied by n statement of the cause
and notice and hearing. These essen
tials were not complied with In the
attempted removal of General Chase.
and the failure to do so renders the
order void and OF no effect, and Its
issuance did not in any manner ope-
rate to remove General Chase from
the service"

While there is not at present any
considerable demand for miners from
the outside, the men of the district
around Alma are all employed. That
particular part of Park county is very
promising and the outlook is that many
more men will be employed later in the
summer. Placer mining has been very
successful this spring and the clean
up on several placers in the Mosquito
and Buckskin sections has given better
results than usual. On account of the
heavy snowfall of the past winter the
facilities for working the placers have
been exceptionally good. One piece of
ground in the Mosquito district,
worked by two men, yielded some
large nuggets, the total results of
months work being over $2.000.-Lead-

union that there was virtue In Yale
to cleanse all the tainted money In the
world he probably knew that John ID.
Rockefeller had given the university
100000.
News of the gift was not formally
told to the alumni till the general
meeting yesterday, when Prof. Arthur
T. Hadley announced 1t as the main
alumni in the room cheered wildly.
They doubled their cheers when Pres
ident Hadley told them that aside from
the Rockefeller gift 81 ESQ, 900 had been
raised during the present spring
largely through the tireless efforts OF
Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr.. the uni
versity secretary, who has canvassed
the friends of Yale with fine tooth
comb for three months. Two OF the
pledges he has received are for $780,
900 each.
The Rockefeller 100000 is the
largest sum of money ever given to
Yale. Frederick w. Vanderbilt two
years ago gave the Sheffield Scientific,
School two dormitories which probably
cost $1,500,000 at least. No statement
of the u1st was ever made. The late
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave Yale in 1893

Surrender of Mutineers.

Odessa. July Without firing a
gun or making the slightest show of
resistance. the mutineers on the Kniaz
Potemkine hauled down the red flag
and surrendered the battleship to Vice
Admiral Kruger's squadron, which ar
rived here at noon yesterday.
1t was an anxious moment for
Odessa as the squadron of five battle
ships and seven torpedo boats, with
their crews at quarters and their decks
range of the Kniaz Potemkine, the
flagship flying signals which read:
yield or be sunk"
The Kniaz Potemkine, which had
weighed anchor. started in the direc-
ton OF Langhorn Point, near Odessa.
Every one expected the immediate
opening of an engagement, but in
stead long interchange OF signals
were begun, the mutineers apparently
parleying to obtain favorable terms.
Finally the battleship stood in closer
to the squadron, the vessels OF which
formed a circle around her. and later
the squadron resumed formation and
headed out to sea, the Kniaz Potem-
kline returning to her anchorage. ac-
companied by the Ekaterina II, which
placed a prize crew on board.
The terms of surrender cannot be
learned. as boats from the shore were
not allowed to approach. but 1t is
thought the mutineers received prom

by the naval rules would be mitigated
