Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Doro-

home.
Princeton, N. J., Feb. 3.-Mr. Cleve-
land was deeply moved when he learn
ed of Mr. Whitney's death. To press
representative he said:
"The news of Mr.. Whitney's death
has greatly shocked me. AS 1 think
of him my mind, passing beyond re-
cent years, dwells upon the days of
my association with him in high Off
cial duty and recalls the time when
had the opportunity to enjoy his unre-
served intimacy and friendly compan-
ionship. Our relations have never
changed, but the exigencies of life
have forbidden recent close inter:
course.
''Mr. Whitney had more calm, force
full efficiency than any man l 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
undertaking to build up our navy af-
forded him greater delight than the
contemplation of the great results he
achieved in his department of the gov
eminent. His judgment was quick,
clear and astonishingly accurate; and.
when it was called into action, his
mental poise was so complete that nei-
Their passion nor irritation could lead
It astray."
