An AppenI Co Secretary oIncy.

wAsHTNGToN, Jan. 2S.-Sccrctary olney has received by cable the appeal from tho Americans resident at Johannesburg for n diplomatic representative of the United States to look after their interests. There is no suggestion that tbls government in. tervene to secure from the Transvaal gov ernment fair treatment politically for resi- dent Americans.
 The United States have only one diplo- matic representative in all Africa, William Fl. Heard, the American minister resident and consul general in Libcrin. Diplomatic business with that continent Is done through the medium of representatives in European countries which have African colonies. It is only within the past two years that the United States have had even is nothing more than an agent nocountn ble to tho United States consul at Capo Colony, Mir. Knight.
 Tho president might send a commission. CT to the Transva,l for a special occasion, but if 1t is desired to maintain perma- ncnt diplomatic representative there, which recent events Indicate would be prudent this can be done only by authority of con. gross, which must make tho appropriation for tho maintenance of a legation. It is probable thnt a recommendation that this be done will be made shortly.
 The appointment of minister to tho Transvaal would not, 1t is said, signify that the United States government is dis posed to commit itself to policy of Inter fering in the internal affairs of the Trans. vaal as Is desired by the American and other foreign residents in the country. The functions of minister would be linn tied to seeing that our citizens are secure in tho enjoyment of life and property and are not discrimlnated against.

had planned to make ap extended trip through Norway, but on the advice of his physician he abandoned this trip and in- stead went to Carlsbad, where he took the cure. He subsequently, went to Axenstein, in Switzerland, for the purpose of taking an after cure.
 Since that time, however, he has mani fested great activity In the discharge of the duties of his office, which have been moro than usually oncrous on account of the complications in European affairs, which have more or less demanded the at- tention and care of the diplomatic repre- seutatives of all nations. His death will come as great shock to official and social circles here in Berlin, where he was a great fayorite.
 Honorable and Useful Career.
 Theodore Runyon was born at Somer- vile, N. J., Oct. 25, 1929 He graduated from Yale college in 1s42 and in 1s46 was admitted to the bar. In 1853 he was made city attorney and in 1856 counsellor of Newark, N. l., a position he retained un- til 1864, when he became mayor of that oity. He wns appointed In 1850 com. missioner to revise and codify the mill tnry laws of New Jersey and in 1857 was made brigadier general and subsequently, major general of the New Jersey national guard.
 At the outbreak of the civil war he was placed in command of a Now Jersey bri- gade of volunteers. In 1865 he was the Democratic candidate for governor of his state, but was not elected. From 1878 to 1887 he was chancellor of New Jersey. In March, 1893, he was appointed by Presi. dent Cleveland United States minister to Germany, and shortly afterward he was made ambassador, in accordance with a law of congress, that the United States representative in Germany should be raised to the rank of embassador rcciprocally with similar action on the part of the German government concerning It's repre- sentative in the United States. X degree of IL. D. was conferred upon him by Yale, Rutgers and Wesleyan colleges
 Mir. Runyon was the successor of Will liam Walter Phelps, who had the plnce of German minister for four years. He was gallant soldier, and Fort Runyon, on the Alexandria railroad, at the south end of the long bridge near Washington, is a per petuation of his name.
 At the time of the appointment of Mir Runyon 1t was remarked as being that of the office seeking the man. Ills name had been presented to the president by Senators McPherson and Smith, and he knew noth- ing of the application which was being made In his behalf until he was asked by letter If ho would accept. The unequlvocar indorsement which he received from the senators and tho high reputation enjoyed by him in the state led the president to make the appointment without hesitation. He was n man of unquestioned ability and high social attainments.
 During his service In Berlin the most Important matter that has been pending hetween the United States and Germany has been that in regard to the removal of the restrictions imposed on the importa- tions of American pork and beef products into that country.
