THE DEATH OF HON. LOUIS McLASE.

THE DEATH OF HON.. LOUIS MCLASE
The Hon. Louis McLane died on Wednesday last,
at hs residence in Baltimore, in the seventy.second
year OF his age. He was the son of Allan McLane, q
distinguished officer in the revolutionary war, and
was born in the village Of SMYRNA, Kent county, Del.
aware, on the 18th of May, 1884.
In the year lI9S, being then only fourteen years Of
age, he served with great credit as a midshipman on
board the frigate Philadelphia, then on her fret cruise,
and under the connsnd of Stephen Decatur, the ia.
ther Of Commodore Decatur. In 1901, yielding to the
desire of his family, he left the navy, and, having
completed his education at Newark College, in his
native State, he began the study of the law, in 1904,
under the instruction of James A. Bayard, of Della
ware. lie was admitted to the bar in 1907, and rapid.
ly attained a high place in his profession. In the war
Of 1912 he was a volunteer in q company commanded
by Cesar A. Rodney, who had been the Attorney.
General of the United States under Mr.. Jefferson,
and marched with that company to the relief Of Bal.
timore when it was threatened by the British.
The great capacities Of Mr.. McLsne now began 10
attract public attention in smother direction, and in
1916 he was elected to the House Of Representatives
from Delaware; and so largely had he won the con.
idsnce OF his constituents. that be remained a mem.
Der of that body until 1897, when he was chosen by
the Legislature a Senator Of the United States. In
May, 1923, be was appointed by President Jackson
to BIZ the minister Of the United States to Great Bri.
tain, where he remained two years, and on his return
he was called by ths same Presidsn to take a place
in the cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. He
served in this place until 1888, when he became Sec.
rotary Of State, and in June, 1884, he retired from
political life.
In 1887, when the financial condition Of the couu
try required his services among ourselves, Mr.. Nc.
Lane WAS prevailed upon to accept the Presidency OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, and, re-.
moving to this State, he discharged the duties of this
laborious office until 1871. In this time he was RI.
quested by President Polk TO occupy, during the
tendency Of ths Oregon negotiations, the mission TO
England, and this duty being accomplished he again
returned to Maryland. In 1850, he WAS solicited and
prevailed upon by his fellow citizens in Cecil county,
In this State, where he resided, to serve as their re.
preventative in the Convention called TO reform the
Constitution Of Marylsnd. After performing this ser.
vice he finally retired from public life.
Mr.. McLane was a chief actor in all the great poll
teal events which marked the fret half Of this century.
He was the companion, fellow laborer and friend of
those who have, with him, won the remembrance of
our countrymen as the statesmen Of America Bal.

and after making a few calls in the city, missed his
money. Mr.. Davis feels fully assured the money
was stolen from one OF the pockets OF his pants. He
says about $3.50 WAS in gold, the remainder in Virginia
Bank notes. He fslt the money in his pocket shortly
before dinner, and took a seat on the settee, at Powell's

aggregate amount of tbese reinforcsmenls is at least
one.half of the present effective strength Of The infau
