At high tide this evening, the tug

no matter what the CunHrd people say
to the contrary, he is positive that the

that his wife also saw the Campnnla,
and they were both attracted By the

there was little or no fog Mt the time.
and after the Cunnrder. which was

aground there At o'clock tonight
there were fully 1000 people on Ocean

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 25,-The
Associated Press announcement Of the
death OF Ambassador Runyon preceded
any official Rdvices 10 the departments
here, and none had been received up to
midnight. The lateneSs OF the hour
prevented the news from being widely
known In Washington circles, and the
New Jersey members Of Congress who
best know Mr.. Runyon were inaccessi-
BILE. The announcement of the death
will be great shock TO administration
personages. for although Mr.. Runyon
was not well known here personally,
yet the diplomatic ability which he has
shown has given the administration
great confidence tn his ability.
He moved with his family in the best
society In New Jersey. He had three
daughters and two sons. The dRugh-
tiers were Rll noted for their beauty,
and there was much regret In Newark
society when they followed their father
and mother to the German court.
The sons are Chauncey RHRyen, 90
years old, and Frederick, 20 years old.
The first known Of the death OF Mr..
Runyon by his friends in Newark came
in the form of cnblegraIn to Chauncey
RuDyon, saying his fnther died from
heart failure. One OF Mr.. Runyon's
daughters is q gifted writer and Is cred
tied with the authorship OF book re-
Gently published, In which some well
known Newark people were rather
freely trented.

BERLIN, Jan. 2s.-Hon. Theodore
Runyon, United States ambassador to-
Germany. expired suddenly and unex-
pectcdly at a. m. this morning ofheart
failure. Mr. Runyon has been in some
what feeble health for some time past,
but no Immediately fatal results were
anticipated. No longer ago than last
Tuesday evening he was present ct q
dinner given In his honor by e1-En-
press Fredericka, mother OF Emperor
william. Last summer he had planned
to make an extended trip through Nor
way, but on the advice OF his physlcian
he abandoned this trip and instead
went to Carlsbad, where he took the
cure. He subsequently went to Axen-
stein, In Switzerland. for the purpose
OF taking an atfer-cure. Since that
time, however, he has manifested great
activity In the discharge OF the duties
of his office. which have been more than
usually 0nerouR on account OF the COM
piications In European affairs which
have more or less demanded the atten-
tlon and care OF the diplomatic repre-
sentatives OF all nations. His death
will come as a great shock to official
and social circles here In Berlin, where
he was great favorite.
Theodore Runyon was born at S6ner-
willie, n. J.. October %, 1892. He gradu-
ated from Yale college In 1872, and IN
1916 was admitted to the bar. In 1853
he was made city attorney and in 1856
city councillor Of Newark. n. j.. q posi-
tion he retained until 1864, when he be-
came mayor OF the city. He was ap-
pointed in 1856 commissioner to revise
and codify the military laws Of New
Jersey, and In 1851 was made brigadier
general and subsequently major gem
eral OF the New Jersey National Guard.
At the outbreak OF the civil war he
was placed In command Of New Jer-
sey brigade Of volunteers. In 1856 he
was Democratic candidate for COVER
ner OF his state, but was not elected.
In 1873 to 1897 he was chancellor OF New
Jersey. In March, 1898. he was appotnt-
ed by President Cleveland United
States minister TO Germany, and short
ly afterwards was made ambassador.
in accordance with q law OF Congress
that the United States representative
In Germany should be raised TO the
rank OF ambassador reciprocally with
the similar action on the part OF the
German government concerning Its rep
reseatatiye In the United States. A de-
gree OF LII. D. was conferred upon him
by Yale, Rutgers and wesleyan coll
ieges.
