Secretary Hay then continued his journey through Europe but refused to permit any official demonstration in his honor. Much melancholy interest centers about this last pilgrimage. It seems to complete the cycle of his diplomatic career as he now, in the plentitude of his powers and of his fame, revisits the old scenes where, forty years before, he had taken his first lessons in the art of which he was to become a master.

Secretary Hay returned to the United States in June, having been absent about three months. His health was much better and he hoped soon to be able to resume his duties at the State Department but he was urged to use the utmost caution and to Spend the summer in rest and quiet. Before going North, how ever, he ran down to Washington for a few days to look after business of an official nature which required his attention. He had several interviews with the President on important pending questions, and waded through the great mass of correspondence which had accumulated during his absence. In all he Spent about a week at the Department.
