retary was so much better after rest
he was able to travel to various cities,
finally going to Bad Nauheim, where
he took the baths. When later, Secre-
tary Hay visited Paris, there was some
suggestion that he might be able to re-
turn to his office, but this was quickly
sflenced by the secretary's refusal to
engage in any function of an official
nature.
Then he went to Great Britain
where he was accorded the same dis
tinguished, though unofficial courtesy.
that marked his day in Paris. All this
time Mr.. Hay seemed to be 1mprov-
ing. The return from Europe was
made about a fortnight ago. Secretary
Hay visited his daughters residence at
Bayside, Lond Island, and few days
later he went to Washington to take
up for brief period his duties as sec
retary of state.
Last Saturday evening he arrived at
his summer home here accompanied
by his son Clarence. Mrs. Hay had
preceded him.
The Journey fatigued the secretary.
however, and, furthermore, While
travelling he contracted a slight cold.
When Mr.. Hay suddenly collapsed on
the afternoon of the following day,
his wife and son became greatly
alarmed for the secretary seemed to
remain in a dazed condition and not
to respond to the efforts to relieve
him. A local practitioner, DR.. j. L.
Cain, OF Newport, was 1mmeolateIy
summoned. AS another precaution,
Mrs Hay summoned by telegram from
| Boston, DR.. Charles L. Scudder and DR..
/, Fred T. Murphy, surgeons on the staff
of the Massa chusetts general hospital.
A special train was chartered, the
tracks of the Boston and Maine rail-
road were cleared and the physicians

time. At midnight they passed over

Hay better, but still gravely i'll. AT
first an operation was determined
upon. The illness was at first pro-
nounced uraemia, resulting from the
severe cold which Mr.. Hay had con-
| tracted and which was believed to
have developed from his somewhat
| hurried visits to different climates.
| With the administration of powerful
medicines some relief came and it was
soon found that an operation could be

LECoMPToN EXCITED.
Unknown Person Threw Bomb in the
Public Street.

Lecompton. July Last evening
about 8 O'Clock as DIR. F. S. Palmer
was walking along the street in front
of the Lee hardware store an un-
known man dashed out from between
two buildings, threw a package to the
ground, and disappeared. It seemed
at first like a can of baking powder
rolled in paper. But Immediately the
package began to fizz and sparkle,
followed by a tremendous explosion,
tearing up the earth, jarring DR..
Palmer, and smashing out the. glass
front of the hardware store. Many at
first supposed it the explosion of a
giant firecracker. Later investigation
showed it was a bomb that was
thrown.
Absolutely no trace of the person
throwing it can be located, nor is
there a known. cause. The throwing
occurred shortly after the arrival of
a passenger train.

We're continued and the patient con-
| tinued to respond to them BY Mon
day, the doctors were able to announce
that Mr.. Hays condition was not at
serious, and that with few days
abundant rest, he would be able to
take up outdoor life.
DR.. Scudder returned to Boston
Monday evening, leaving DR.. Murphy
in charge of the patient.
The next day Secretary Hay was not
so well. A nurse was summoned from
Boston and DR.. Scudder returned.
However, the secretary's illness was
not deemed so severe as to call for
the members of the household. Mrs.
Hay telegraphed her son-in-law, Payne
Whitney, in New York, that it would
not be necessary for him to postpone
his trip to Europe which he was to
| begin that day with Mrs. Whitney.
Since Tuesday the secretary had
been reported as steadily improving.
| DR.. Scudder on returning to Boston
Tuesday evening after his second visit
| to Newbury, said that 1.-The case did
not warrant at that time an official
statement
On Wednesday Clarence Hay said:
Everything is favorable
Thursdays reports reported satis-
factory progress and yesterday DR..
| Murphy, who had been. with the pa
tient without intermission, expressed
confidence that Secretary Hay would
| be able to sit UP by Sunday and go
out of doors the first Of the week.
An incident of yesterday brought out
more clearly than anything which had
| developed previously the exact nature
of the attack which he had expert
enced.
Received Cablegram.
During the day the secretary re-
ceived a cablegram from Professor
Groedel of Bad Nauheim, who attend
ed Mr.. Hay while he was taking the
baths recently at that resort. The
message was one of inquiry as TO the
illness.
Mr. Hay replied: ''Mild cystitis;
improving. Nothing complex
To the Associated Press Professor
Groedel had stated that it was impos-
sible that the secretary could have
altogether healthy.
This entire information, including
the cablegram sent by Secretary Hay,
was placed before DR.. Scudder in Bos-
ton yesterday afternoon.
The doctor said the statement con-
cerning the illness was entirely cor
rect. The doctor observed that in its
early Stages the attack may have been
enormously thought to be uraemia,
| but that it was simply an acute attack
of cystitis or Inflammation of the
/ bladder.
AT that time. about $3.50 p. M, DR..
Scudder said that he had just re-
ceived news from Mrs. Hay indicat-
ing that Mr.. Hay was progressing
most faverably. DIR. Scudder left Bos-
ton soon after to keep his engagement
to be in Newbury last evening.
| There was nothing, DIR. Scudder de-
clared today, to cause anxiety when he
i reached the bedside. and after bidding
his wife and the doctors a cheerful
goed-night, the secretary fell into an
untroubled and restful sleep. The
nurse watching by his bedside felt as

HOT SHOT FOR WALLAC {.
August Belmont Says He Has No Use
for Such Men.

New York, July when asked il it
were true that the Inter-Borough Rap
id Transit company had engaged John
F. Wallace, formerly chief engineer Of
the Panama canal, resulting in his
resignation from the canal position.
August Belmont, president of the In

There is not the slightest truth in
the report that the Inter-Borough
company has had for a moment in
mind, the engagement of MIR. Wallace.
nor will it consider it. The Inter-Bor-
ough company does not make a prac-

ty-f1ve minutes later all was over. So
swiftly had the end come that the dying
man passed away unattended by all OF
the members of his family save his
wife.
The others, a son and a daughter,
were summoned but they reached the
bedside only to find their distinguished
parent dead.
The secretary yesterday passed the
most comfortable day since his illness
G2egan week ago. He was to sit up
to-day. The patient had hidden his wife

glafnce for him to determine that the
end was but minutes away. The house

husband as he was breathing his last.

teri Mrs. James A. Wadsworth, of
GenSeseo. N. Y. hurried into the sick

Cause of Death.
DEATH was caused By pulmonary en-
boIism, according to DR.. Scudder. The
patient di not suffer greatly in his
last moments. Aside from great diff
cultI in breathing there was no strug-
gle. tStimulants were ineffective. The
secretary lapsed into Inconsistencies
and seemed to fall asleep at last.
The CONSERVATION of the household
was complete and it remained for DR..
Scudder to- assume charge of affairs.
After two hours the physician was
\, driven to the village where half a dozen
Ntelegramsj were sent. The first went to
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. The
second was addressed to the state de-
partmentS at Washington. The others
were sent to friends of the family Dr.
Seudder returned to the "Fells."
At 4 o'clock the house was closed and

His Illness
The illness which so weakened the
secretary'S physical powers as to bring
about death made itself apparent about
L last March. Tired and worn out from
the strain of overwork. he was ordered
by his physician to make a trip abroad
in order to obtain special treatment and
a complete rest. Some of the intimate
friends said the secretary's condition was
to be found in his collapse on the steam
ship pier in New York just as he was
about to board -the White Star linel
bound for the Mediterranean. Secretary
Hay, however, was determined to con-
tinue his trip and he was carried or

which were thrown in through the
smashed doors and windows until the

Joe Crais's Narrow Escape Tuesday Evening.

When his train was almost ready to
move out on its tripe to Pasco, he
crawed under his engine to look after
something when some cars were
switched on the same track and jostled
down against his train, moving his
engine with him under it something
like one hundred feet When he was
found, he was unconscious. A stretcher
was procured from the depot and he
was placed on it and brought to the
Linch block where DR.. Felch made an
examination. He was found to be
pretty badly bruised about his body,
with some slight cuts, but no broken
bones 1T is considered almost miri.
Gle that he was not killed. His run is
on the Idaho division and he has made
the run for the past four or five years.
He will perhaps be confined to his
room few days, but will doubtless be
able to report for duty week hence
at least we truly hope so.

see the mine and we are always pleased
with their opinion. Geo. Grove OF the
Guaymas smelter said that we will have
enough ore in the $50 level to run a 100
ton mill before we can get the 50-ton
mill installed You see the value of a
statement from such man; it helps in
the encouragement it give us.
The Tarasca vein is not being work
ed now and ave will not push it until
we are able to mill the ore as we take
it out, as it would be double handling
and more expensive. In milling and
mining, the best ECONOMY is had by
handling the ore as fast and as little as
possible. The Llano mine over the
hill is not being worked now for the
same reason. Yours truly,
