FROM HIS - . "JP" x - - T lllfjp' v WWW 9 I I - -i:- BOSTON, April 9. Richard Olney, secretary ot state under President Grover Cleveland, died at his Home here last night. Mr. Olney, who was 82 years old, had been 111 several weeks although it was not until yesterday that his condition became serious. In an an nouncement issued by the family to day it was stated that he died sud denly at 8:45 o'clock last night. Mrs. Olney and their daughter, Mrs. George R. Minot of this city, were with him at the end. Mr. Olney's otnor daugnter, Mrs. u. n. auuoii is residing temporarily in Paris. Recently while unable to leave his bed. Mr. Olney had displayed very deep interest in the international sit uation. It was said that he warmly commended the action of the govern ment when memuers of his family In formed him on Friday that President Wilson had signed a proclamation of war. A Foremost Fiicure. Richard Olney served successively as attorney general and secretary of state during the administration of President Cleveland, and although at the head of the state department for the short period of one year and nine months only, he won reputation as a statesman of commanding ability and force. His greater triumph was his successful insistence upon arbitration of the boundary dispute between Great and Venezuela. Iniperturbably disregarding the warnings that a rigid maintenance of .41io Monroe Doctrine might plunge the United States Into war with Great Britain, President Cleveland and Sec retary Olney carried out their own Ideas of diplomacy. In his famous message sent through Ambasador Bayard to Lord Salisbury, British sec retary of state for foreign affairs, Mr. Olney, promising the inalienable right of the United States to intervene in questions affecting the territorial integrity of South American coun tries, said in part: Olney's Firmness Won. "Great Britain both admits that there is a controversy and that arbi tration should be resorted to for its adjustment. But while up to that point her attitude leaves nothing to be desired, its practical effect is com pletely nullified by her Insistence that the submission shall cover but a part ot the controversy; that as a condi--"tion of arbitrating her right to a part of tho disputed territory, the remain der shall be turned over to her. Upon What principle except her feebleness ns nation is Venezuela to be denied tho right of having the claim heard and passed upon by an impartial tri bunal? 'It is so, because I will it to be so,' seems to bo the only Justifi cation Great Britain offers." Although Lord Sallsburg at first refused to submit to the American de mand, upon further representation ho receded from his attitude and agreed to the arbitration of the entire dispute. Mr. Olney's firmness previously had become familiar to the American public through his action In the great Chicago railroad strike and subse quent riots, when as attorney gener al he upheld the right and duty. Attitude in Tjilxir. In refutation of charges that this attitude Indicated his hostility to lab or unions, Mr. Olney, in a special ,ilef filed In a federal court In Penn sylvania in the case of a railroad trainmen's strike on the Reading railroad, only five months after the end of the Chicago strike, upheld the right of labor to organize and urged that all labor troubles should be ar bitrated. Mr. Olney was born In Oxford. Mass., In 1835. His rather wad a tex tile manufacturer and banker. In the years following vliia graduation from Harvard law school In 1858, Mr. Ol ney won high distinction in his pro fession ar.d 1 ecame an authority on matters of probate, trust and corpor- atlon law.
