Liner St. Louis Has Many Narrow
Escapes From Subseas and Mines

third told of the destruction OF a
British boat far to the westward out

path the St. Louis had travelled.
The St. Louis arrived off the bar
of Marsey before dawn. There was
no pilot boat at hand and the Amer

side the bar where it was known a
German submarine had been work
ing the night before, until driven
away by patrol boats. During this
time a neutral steamer which had
been in the harbor had attempted to
go to sea. It was caught dropping
mines inside the bar, eighty Of them
being strewn about, it was reported.
Patrol boats picked up or destroyed
all but two of these.
The St. Louis crossed the bar and
went up the narrow channel about
10 o'clock in the morning. About an
hour later the British steamer KEEL
vinhead crossed the bar, struck one
Of the lost mines and sank. The St.
Louis could not have missed this
mine by more than twenty feet. How
it escaped destruction was a mystery
to the British officers and the amazed
Americans were congratulated when
they reached their docks.
1t was the report around the Liv-
erpool docks that the vessel caught
strewing mines was Swedish boat.
This was not confirmed by the Brit
ish. Nor is the fate of the officers
of the Swedish ship known. These
things are not given out or even
talked about by England's sailors.
The decision in their cases was not
long delayed.
1t was the belief OF the British that
the big guns aboard the st. Louis
held no terrors for the German sub
marines.
The fortune of war was on the side
of the Americans.

EX-SECRETARY OF
STATE 0LNEY DIES
Statesman Who Made Great
Reputation in Deal with Brit.
ain is Dead at Boston.
RI0NrY. TWO YEARS OLD

Boston, Mass, April Orchard
Olney, secretary OF state during Pres
ident Cleveland's administration, died
at his home here last night.
Mr.. Olney, who was 81 years old,
had been i'll several weeks, although
it was not until yesterday that his
condition became serious. In an an
nouncement issued by the family to-
day it stated that he died suddenly at
S:45 o'clock last night. Mrs. Olney
and their daughter, Mrs. George R.
Minot, OF this city, were with him at
the end. Mr.. Olney's other duagh-
ter, Mrs. c. H. Abbott, is residing
temporarily in Paris.
Recently while unable to leave his
bed, Mr.. Olney had displayed very
deep interest in the international
situation. 1t was said that he warmly
commended the action of the gov
eminent when members of his family
informed him on Friday that Presi-
dent Wilson had signed a proclama-
ton OF war. g.
His Greatest Triumph.
Richard Olney served successfully
as attorney general and secretary of
state during the second administra-
ton of President Cleveland, and al
though at the head of the State de-
partment for the short period of one
year and nine months only, he won
reputation as statesman of COM
manding ability and force. His great
est triumph was his successful in,
sistence upon arbitration, of the
boundary dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela.
Imperturbably disregarding the
warnings that a rigid maintenance OF
the Monroe doctrine might plunge
the United States into war with
Great Britain, President Cleveland
and Secretary Olney carried out their
own ideas Of diplomacy.
Although Lord Salisbury at first
refused to submit to the American
demand, upon further representations
he receded from his attitude and
agreed to the arbitration OF the entire
dispute.
Mr.. Olney's firmness previously be-
came familiar to the American public
through his action in the great Chi
cago railroad strike and subsequent
riots, when as attorney general he
upheld the right and duty of the gov
eminent to employ troops TO crush
the disorder.

attitude indicated his hostility to la.

New York, April 9.-Running safely
through the dangers of the German
submarine blockade of Great Britain
and without sighting a periscope
either on the outward or homewatd
journey, the American mail and pas
senger liner St. Louis arrived at its
home dock today. The st. Louis was
the first American passenger boat to
be armed and travel through the dan
ger zone around the British isles since
Germany's declaration of January 81
and it was we'll armed for the trip
The homeward voyage was a stormy
one. A hundred miles, off the coast
of Ireland, gale threatened the de-
struction of the life boats which bad
been partly lowered, and it became
necessary to lie to for two hours while
they were made secure. There was
an anxious time, as the stop was made
directly in the normal path of Ger
man submarines returning to their
home base
Now that the American ship has
completed its memorable voyage, it
is possible to tell how good luck prob
ably saved her from destruction.
There appears no room for doubt
that the German admiralty knew of
its departure and took steps to de-
stroy it. The British patrol feet
knew this, and so did those in COM
mard of the ST. Louis before it was
far into the war zone. Running at
full speed during the night. with the
coast of Ireland and its submarine-in-
tested waters in the distance, IS. o.

trated.
Native of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Olney was born in Oxford.
Mass, in 1885. His father was tex
tile manufacturer and banker. In
the years following his graduation
from the Harvard law school in 1858
Mr.. Olney won high distinction in his
profession and became an authority
on matters of probate, trust and cor
poration law. His sole appearance
in public Office before going to Wash
ington was in 1875, when he served
one term in the Massachusetts house
of representatives. President Wilson
urged him to accept appointment as
ambassador to Great Britain and
later offered him the position of gov
ernor Of the Federal Reserve board,
but in each instance Mr.. Qlney de-
clined.
His public utterances always COM
manded thoughtful attention and at
tracted widespread comment. Long
after his retirement from his compar-
atively brief career in public office
Mr.. Olneys counsels were eagerly
sought by members of the democratic
party. So.
