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. His sole appearance In

man craft which had been moored in
the Wang Poo river, was dropped
down stream by its crew and brought
to anchor within a few yards of the
United States cruiser Cincinnati. On
that night the Chinese government
decided to seize all German craft.

Chinese officials boarded the German
vessel and were just in time to pre

was the ship charged with explosives
that, had the act been consummated,
the Cincinnati would have been com
