city. Ho was appointed In 1856 u COM
missioner to revise and codify tho milf
tary laws of New Jersey and In 1857 WINS
made bricndier general and subsequently
HtHNA'tAtft

At tho outbreak Of tho civil war he was
placed I'm command of a New Jersey hrl-
gado Of volunteers In 1865 he was tho
Democratic candidate for governor Of his
state, but was not elected. From 1873 TO
1887 he was chancellor Of Now Jersey. In
March, ls93 he was appointed by Prcai-
dent Cleveland United States minister 20
Germany, and shortly niterward he was
made ambassador, In accordance with
law Of congress, that the United States
representative in Germany should be raised
60 the rank Of ambassador rociprocally
with the similar action on the part Of the
German government concerning its repro

Yale, Rutgers and Wesleyan colleges.
Mr.. Runyon was the successor Of VII
liam Walter Phelps, who had the place OF
German minister for four years. He was
gallant soldier and Fort Runyon, on tho

ing of tho application which was being
made I'm his bohalf until be was asked by
letter II he would accept. The unequivocal
Endorsement which no received from the
senators and the high reputation enjoyed
by him I'm the state led the president TO
make the appointment without hesitation.
He was a man Of unquestloned ability and
high social attainments.
During his service I'm Berlin the most
important matter that has been pending
between the United States and Germany
has been that in regard Co the removal Of
the restrictions imposed on the importa-
tions Of American pork and beef products
