Mr.. Whitney had more calm, force
ful efficiency than any man / ever
knew In work that interested him he
actually seemed to court difficulties and
TO find pleasure and exhilaration in
overcoming them. His conquest over
the obstacles he encountered in under
taking to build up our navy afforded
him greater delight than the contem-
plation of the great results he achieved
in his department of the Government.
His judgment was quick, clear and as
tonishingly accurate; and when it was
called into action his mental poise was
so complete that neither passion or ir-
ritation could lead him astray.
while remember all this with ad-
miration and affection, I recall with
more tender sentiment Mr.. Whitney's
devotion to his friends, his extreme
consideration for all with whom he
came in contact. his thoughtfulness for
the ease and comfort of others and his
ready impulse to help those who need
ed help. / mourn the death of a friend

wHITNEY's NOTABLE CAREER.
After Founding the New Navy He De-
cIiued All Political Honors.

William Collins Whitney. member of
President Cleveland's first Cabinet, and
the father of 1.-The new navy" was born
July 5. 1S41, in the quaint little town of
Conway, Mass. He was of good descent
on both sides of his house. Starting
from John whitney who came to New
England in 1886, he could number
among his ancestors many who were
famed for prowess in the earlier war
times and especially his revolutionary
grandfather, General Josiah Whitney,
horn in 1713-Cied 1S06-who fought with
the British and Colonial troops at
Crown Point in 1774 and yet was one
of the first to take up arms for the
colonies in 1776. He went into the war
in a modest capacity and came out. at
the end as a brigadier general Q7S3).
All along down Mr. Whitney's ancestors
in the male line were men of prom
inence in the community and State in
which they lived. On his mothers side

ready for work.
1t is worthy of note that on his re-
tirement from office one of Mr.. Whit
news political opponents. Senator
Plumb of Kansas. said in a speech to
'the Senate: Il am glad to say in the
closing hours of Mr.. Whitney's admin
istration that the affairs of his depart
ment have been well administered
They have been we'll administered not
only in the sense that everything mas
been honestly and faithfully done, but
we have got the keen competition OF
Ameri an manufactures and the in
ventive genius of all our people, so tnat
we may not only expect the best re-
suits, but great Improvement each
wear. And the result is such that
am prepared to say that in ten years
we shall have the best navy in the
world
After his retirement from Office in
1890 Whitney took an active part in
national politics. especially cOntribut-
ing to the reelection of his former
chief. Mr.. Cleveland, in 1892, but for
himself resolutely declined all political
preferment.
In later years he was out of public
life, except that he became interested
in such international sporting events
as Yachting and horse racing, which
more or less kept his name before the
public.
Mr.. Whitney belonged to all the
leading clubs in New York City and to
some in other parts of the country.
He was also a member of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren and a trustee of the Peabody
Museum of Yale. He was besides. di-
rector in many of the larger corpora
tions of New York City.
In 1869 Mr.. Whitney was married to
Miss Flora Payne, daughter of Henry
r. Payne. United States Senator from
Ohio. OF this union were born Harry
Payne Whitney, who was married in
1896 to Gertrude, daughter of Cor
neIius Vanderbilt; Pauline, who was
married in 1895 to Almeric Hugh
Paget. descended from a long line of
English peers; Payne Whitney and
Dorothy Whitney.
In 1892 Whitney contracted a sec
ond matrimonial alliance with Miss
Elite S. Randolph Of East Court, Wilt
shire, England. who soon after died
of injuries received from falling from
her horse in the hunting field.
Mr.. Whitney's city residence was

New York City, the Mecca and the

honors in his chosen profession.
He soon made his mark at the bar
and attracted attention outside his pro-
fession. In 1871 he was active IN Or
ganizing Young Mems Democratic
Club in New York, and after filling sew
eral other offices was appointed Cor
poration Counsel in 1875, and by re-
forms within and without his office did
much for the current and future well

him. He took an active part in the
campaign that elected Samuel j. Tilden
Governor of New York in 1874
In 1882 he resigned his office in order
to devote his attention to his private
business, which was large and remun-
erative.
Already cognizant of his merit and
efficiency, in March, 1885, President
Cleveland offered to Mr. Whitney the
