 Cleveland, O., July 5.Tlle body of John Hay rests tonight in his family burying ground in corner of Lake View cemetery. Around his grave are the granite monuments of men who have done strong things, for cleyelaHds for Ohio and some of them for the na- tion. Five hundred feet to the wesEot where the great secretary lies is fhe great memorial of James A. Garfield 200 feet to the north rises the monolith of the Rockefeller family. Closer still ! are the graves of the Otises and the \ Rusts. Most of these men were buried with funeral services far more elabor- ate than was John Hays. certainly none of them could be inferred with ceremony more simple.
 1 The services throughout wers admir- ably condueted--in most excellent taste
 and from the arrival of President Roosevelt in the morning until hds de- 1 parture in the afternoon brought the I official day to an end, not a. single un- toward incident was in evidence. There I were, however. two narrow escapes l from disappointment one for Sir More timer Durand, the British ambassador. and one for Secretary of War Rob- ert T. Lincoln and ex- Secretary of the I Treasury Lyman T. Gage Sir Morti- ! mer came direct to Cleveland from his 1 summer home at Lenox, Mass and
 was, owing to delays experienced on the road, able to reach the Chamber of I Commerce only a few moments before l the funeral started for the cemetery.
 dr. Lincoln and MT. Gage had been
 nisinfornaed as to the hour, at which
 the body was to be removed from the 1 the funeral cortege after 1t had gone
 only a short distance.
 l Mrs. Hay had expressed a desire that
 the casket be not opened unless
 dent Roosevelt should express@a desA
 to gaze upon the face of ln4s seoreta .f once more. This way explained to tiIei l president at the train, and he at once
 expressed himself as unwilling to dis turb the arran gements already made. The president, vice president and
 Governor Herrlck passed around the N head of the easket, while in a semi Y circle around the hall stood members
 of the present and former cabinets.

 The party remained grouped about 1.-the casket for nearly forty minutes, and during the time q band of crepe Twas placed around the left arm of each lman by Secretary Haven, of the chan- Der of commerce.
 At just 10 o'clock the funeral party left the chamber of commerce. The
 casket, carried by six non-comsnisslon4 ed officers of the cavalry Troop A. was
 borne to the hearse between two lines
