us a terrible shock for a few days, for
we thought from the amount of jingo-

appointed a commission to consider the
dispute and ] do not think this win be
done until after Lord Salisbury has
made the correspondence in the matter
public by sending II to parliament In
the form of a report. Then IL the for
eign Office has taken the wrong position
the position a proper one, however, the
position of the foreign Office will be up

There is no doubt England recog-
nizes the Monroe doctrine. in its broad
sense. and is willing 10 abide by II on
all occasions except this one. This dis
puted territory has been claimed by
Great Britain for years. and has been
ruled by IT. A large number of the in
habitants of the place consider them
selves British subjects. and the dispute
is merely over the boundary; surely not
a sufficient cause for war Since this
trouble has arisen there is a growing
sentiment in England In favor of a per
manent international commission to
which all disputes could be referred at
their inception. and they would be set
tied without having countries stirred
up over them. The time will come
when such a board viii be found neces-
sary. and hope to see this agreement

HIS DEATH In BERLIN
Ambassador Runyon Expires in the
Embassy Of the United States.
CAUSED BY HEART FAILURE
He Had Been Out OF Health for
Several Months-Suddenly In the
Early Watches OF Sunday Morn
Ing He Breathed His Last.

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Hon. Theodore Run
yon, United States ambassador to Ger
many, expired suddenly and unexpect-
edly at / O'Clock this morning of heart
failure. He had been in somewhat
feeble health for some time past, but
no immediate fatal results were anti
cipated. No longer ago than last Tues
day evening, he was present at a din
ner given In his honor by ex-Empress
Frederick, mother of Emperor WILL
lam.
Last summer Mr.. Runyon had
planned to make an extended trip
through Norway. but on the advice of
his physician, he abandoned the trip
and, instead. went to Carlsbad. where
he took the cure. He subsequently
went to Axenstein, in Switzerland. for
the purpose of taking treatment. Since
that time, however. he has manifested
great activity in the discharge of his
duties, which have been more than
usually onerous on account of compli-
cations in European affairs. which
have more or less demanded the atten-
tion and care of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives OF all nations.
Theodore Runyon was born at SOM
eTNllle, N. j., OCl. 20, lcs-. lie was
graduated from Yale college in 1912,
and in 1876 was admitted to the bar In
1853 he was made city attorney. and.
in 1856, city councillor OF Newark. n.
j., a position which he retained until
1864 when he became mayor of the city.
He was appointed, in 1856, a commits
sioner to revise and codlfy the military
laws of New Jersey. In 1857 he was
made brigadier general and subse-
quently major general of the New
Jersey natiopal guard. At the out
break of the civil war he was placed
in command of the New Jersey brigade
of volunteers.
In 1865. Mr.. Runyon was democratic
candidate for governor of the state.
but was not elected. From 1873 till
1887 he was chancellor of New Jersey.
In March, 1898, he was appointed by
President Cleveland United States min
lister to Germany and shortly after
wards was made ambassador in ac-
cordance with the law of congress pro-
viding that the United States repre-
sentative In Germany should be raised
TO the rank of ambassador recipro-
cally with similar action on the part
of the German government concerning
its representative in the United States.
The degree of LII. ID. was conferred up
on him by Yale. Rutgers and Wesley

1T DRAWS A CROWD
THE ST. PAUL LIES HELPLESS
IN THE MUD.
Thousands of Visitors Gaze with Wonder
on the Majestic Vessel, But She
Won't Break Away.

Sandy Hook, N. j., Jan. 26.-The life
saving people report that this morning
the ST Paul was moved about 75 feet
northeast and off shore. At p. m.
there appeared to be no further change
in the position of the vessel. No fur
ther attempt to move her will be made
until high water tomorrow morning.
Lon Branch, n. j.. Jan. 26.-President
c. A. Grisom and all other representa-
tives of the International Navigation
company, popularity known as the
American Line have taken a decidedly
more hopeful view of the situation Of
the stranded steamer st. Paul. They
place great reliance on the Merit &
Chapman Wrecking company. who has
charge of the pulling off of the big
steamer and they hope to have the St.
Paul at her berth at the foot of Vesey
street. New York, before the end OF the
week.
Crowds of sightseers which were in
evidence yesterday were more than
doubled to-day. Vehicles of all descrip-
tions were pressed into service, and
when they were all jumbled together
near the end of Ocean avenue, East
Long Branch, they presented a very
lively sight. II is safe to say there is
scarcely a person who resides within 20
miles of this place who has not come
to see the big ocean racer lying in her
helpless state within a stones throw Of
the Grand View hotel veranda. This
morning about O'Clock. when the tide
was full, there was a heroic attempt
made TO pull the steamer out of her
difficulty by use of Hedges" anchors,
operated by her own machinery and
the combined power of the tugs Mer-
rift. Chapman Hustler and North
American. The hawsers were strained
TO their utmost and the huge hulk
quivered for fully half an hour under
the immense force brought tn bear up
on it. The toilers were finally reward
ed by seeing the hawsers relax and a
rousing cheer announced to the anxious
watchers that the steamer had been
moved a little. Slowly but surely the
St. Paul moved sternward in a north
easterly direction, but stopped like a
stubborn animal after having slid
through her sandy bed some so yards.
The tugs kept up their putting and
pulling until O'Clock without being
able TO make the vessel bulge.

Washington, Jan. 26.-This week In

of our foreign relations. 1t will open
tomorrow with the presentation of the
resolutions of the foreign relations
committee on Armenia and will be con-
tinued with the consideration of the
diplomatic and consular bill. which will
be taken up Immediately afterwards.
This bill will open the gates to a gen.
eral debate on foreign affairs in all
parts of the world. The China-Japan
war. the depreciation of American mis-
sions in China, the Venezuelan dispute
the Corinto incident, the outrages in
Armenia with all their attendant Euro
pean complications, the invasion of the
Transvaal and the arrest of Americans
at johannesburg by the Boer govern
ment, the Alaska boundary dispute, the
award of the Bering sea commission,
the Cuban war for independence, the
Waller incident and the Bayard
speeches; any or all of these may be-
come fruitful topics for debate during
the consideration of this bill The gen.
eral impression is that the whole week
will be consumed in disposing of it, but
IL any time remains it will probably be
devoted to the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill, which the appropria-
tions committee expects to have ready
on Wednesday or Thursday.
