DEEP REGRET
In Washington Over MIR.
Whitney's Death.
70. o. staley, in courier-Journal.)


The sudden passing away of William
@. Whitney was a shock to his many
friends here at the capital. He was 80
we'll known and loved by public men
generally and particularly here in
Washington that his death called forth
expressions of the deepest regret. 1t
was not until yesterday morning( Feb. y
that even his illness was known, and
the sad intelligence this evening that it
had proved fatal was a great surprise.
1t was Mr.. Whitney who by his abiIi-
ty and enterprise while secretary of the
navy, under Mr.. Cleveland's first ad-
ministration, built the foundation of
the present splendid navy Of the gov
ernment. So strongly did he press his
views for a creditable navy upon con-
gress that large appropriations were
made for the building of warships and
the work then commenced which has
brought forth such good results.
A SHINING LIGHT OF CLEVELAND AID
MINIsTRATIoN.
In his official work here Mr.. Whitney
was always alert and industrious, and
being a man of marked ability, did
much to make the first Cleveland ad-
ministration one of the best the coun-
try ever had.
Mr.. Whitney had a strong and at
tractive personality and by his charm
ing and winning manners made friends
Of everybody who came in contact with
him. He was moreover a man of'great
force of character and had wonderful
influence in all of his public and private
work. If he determined in his mind to
accomplish anything that he set out to
do he never stopped until he had reach
ed his objective point.
