THE HAY FUNERAL
Funeral Services Over the Body at
Cleveland
CLEVELAND The body of John
Hay rests In his family burying ground
in a corner of Lake View cemetery
Around his grave are the granite mon
uments of men who have done strong
things for Cleveland for Ohio and
some of them for the nation Five
hundred feet to the west of where th6
great secretary lies is the memorial
of James A Garfield 20 feet to the
north rises the monilith of the Rocke
feller family Closer still are the
graves of the Otises and the Busts
Most of these men were buried with
funeral services iar more elaborate
than was John Hay certainly none of
them could have been interred with
ceremony more simple When how
ever the years shall have established
their true perspective the world may
come to realize that he who was laid
beside those men was fortunate in
that he surpassed most and equaled
all of them in the scope and value of
the services he was enabled to render
to his countrymen
The day of the funeral was a day
such as one does not willingly associ
ate with the idea of death a day oi
bright sunshine whose warmth was
tempered by flowing clouds and the
wind that seems to blow forever ovei
Euclid Heights it was a day to mak6
the majority of men rejoice to be alive
and on which nothing but the irresist
ible force of events would bring home
to them such bitter truths as illness
death and the grave
The services throughout were ad
mirably conducted in most excellent
taste and from fhe arrival of Presi
dent Roosevelt in the morning until
his departure in tne afternoon brought
the official day to its close not a single
untoward incident was in evidenca

TURNDOWNGHSNA
NOT ALLOWED REPRESENTATION
AT THE PEACE CONFERENCE
CZARS GOVERNMENT WILLING
No New Developments in the Plans
of Peace Negotiations Many Calls
Upon the President at Oyster Bay
In the Near Future
WASHINGTON Chinas request to
bo represented in the Washington con
ference on the ground that It is vitally
interested in its proceedings has been
received by the president and infor
mally transmitted to the belligerents
Whether the president has received
the formal replies cannot be learned
but it can be stated that while Russia
is Inclined to favor the suggestion
Japan will not consent to it Japan
has already made public its assurance
that Manchuria is to be restored to
China That is one of the principles
for which it says it has been fighting
Japan regards itself as fullly capable
of executing this promise without the
assistance of China and in view of
Chinas inability before the war to
cope with Russia in Manchuria the
Tokio government is unable to see
what possible assistance a Chinese
representative would be in the Wash
ington conference Moreover the Jap
anese have all along taken the posi
tion that when peace negotiations
were begun they would be conducted
directly with Russia It is altogether
unlikely that the Washington govern
ment will press the claim of China
and the official view here fails to
sympathize with the idea
The last week has seen few develop
ments in the plans for the negotia
tions Negotiations for an armistice
are not expected to be concluded until
after the plenipotentiaries meet It is
pointed out again that the beginning
of the rainy season in the war zones
removes the necessity for the imme
diate signing of an armistice Little
doubt is felt however that this will
be the first subject discussed by the
plenipotentiaries and probably their
initial act Will be the signing of a pro
tocol providing for the cessation of
hostilities for a limited period
Baron Rosen will go to New York
within the next few days and thence
to Oyster Bay to be presented to the
president Meantime he is in daily
conference with the attaches of the
embassy and has had several long
talks with Count Cassini who posted
him each step in the negotiations np
to this moment No place has yet been
finally selected for the holding of the
conference but this Baron Rosen will
discuss with the president on Thurs
day Expecting that some place in
New England would certainly be se
lected Baron de Rosen chose Man
chester for the summer headquarters
for his embassy It is believed here
that the choice lies between Ports

the chances in favor of the former

authority of President Roosevelt in
the following statement given out by
Secretary Loeb
Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the president of the secretaryship
of state He will take the oath of
office in a couple of weeks but It will
necessarily be some little time before

ly until some time In September

ed at Mr Roots acceptance and is
deeply sensitive of the personal sacri
fices made by Mr Root In again taking
upon him the burdens and duties of a
member of the cabinet
The decision of Mr Root was reach
ed finally on the presidents special
during the return of the party from

by Mr Root it was deemed desirable
not to announce the decision publicly
