Mr. Runyon to Mr. Olney.

[Telegram.]

I have received a telegram from you about postponement in Stern case. I saw Imperial secretary of state for foreign affairs immediately, who says, under the circumstances named, Stern should at once make application to postpone, either personally by telegraph, or by his Bavarian lawyers, to Bavarian minister of justice, giving reasons for his absence. I think if application is made at once it will be granted.

Runyon.
