DEATH OF HON. LOUIS McLANE.

Although not unprepared for the sad event, the
whole country will learn with profound regret the
death of Hon. Louis McLane-a name conspicuously
identified with the eventful periods in our po-
litcal history since the year 1916 He died at his
residence in the city of Baltimore on Wednesday
last. He was born in the town of Smyrna, Della
ware the 18th of May 1874, and was consequently
seventy-three years old at the time of his death
We indebted to the Baltimore Sun for the follow
ing brief biographical sketch of the departed states
man:
''He the son of Allan McIane, distinguished
officer in the revolutionary war, and born in the viii
lage of Smyrna, Kent county, Delaware the 2sth of
May, 1884
In the year 179S being then only fourteen years of
age he served with great credit mdshipman board
the gate Philadelphia then her first cruise, and
der the command of Stephen Decatur the father of Com
modore Decatur In 1901 yielding to the desire of his
family he left the navy and having completed his edu
cation at Newark College, his native State began the
study of the law in 1904 under the instruction Of James
A. Bayard of Delaware He admitted to the bar in
1907 and rapidly attained high place in his profession
In the of 1872 he volunteer in company
commanded by Caesar A. Rodney, who had been the At
torney General of the United States under Mr. Jefferson
and marched with that company the relief of Baltimore
when it threatened by the British.
1.-THE great capacities of Mr.. McLane began to at
tract public attention in another direction and in 1916
he was elected 10 the House OF Representatives from Del
and largely had he the confidence of his
constituents that he remained member of that body
til 1927 when he chosen by the Legislature senator
of the United States In May 1929, he appointed
by President jackson to be the minister of the United
States to Great Britain where he remained two years. and
his return he called by the President take
place in the cabinet Secretary of the Treasury He
served in this place until 1888 when he became Secretary
of State, and in june 1884, he retired from political
life.
In 1897 when the financial condition of the country
required his services among ourselves, Mr. McLane
prevailed to accept the presidency of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company and, removing to this State
he discharged the duties of this laborous Office until
l847. In this time he requested by President Polk
to occupy during the tendency of the Oregon negotia
TONS the mission to England and this duty being
plished, he again returned to Maryland In 1850 he
solicited and prevailed upon by his fellow citizens in Cecil
county in this State where he resided to their
representative in the convention called to reform the
stituton of Maryland After performing this service he
finally retired from public life.
Mr. McIane chief actor in all the great politi-
cal events which marked the first half of this century
He the companion laborer and friend of those
who have with him, the remembrance Of our coun
trymen as the statesmen of America
