Consul-general of Nicaragua; has rep- resentd Nicaragua for many years as consul-general in the U. S. and in other diplomatic capacities, and is the only citi- zen in the U. S. holding a military posi- tien in the army of Nicaragua. He was formerly one of the best-known war cor- respondents, being the only journalist who witnessed the execution of Emperor Maximilian, and for a number of years was the representative of the N. Y. Asso- ciated Press and correspondent of the N. Y. Times; after severing his connection with the press, he engaged in the export business, and is now senior partner of the house of A. D. Straus & Co. Ad- dress, 18 Broadway, N. Y. City. STRAUS, Isidor:
Eldest son of Lazarus and Sara Straus; born Feb. 6, 1845; the family came to this country in 1854, and settled in Talbotten, Ga., where they had been preceded two years by their father; he was educated at Collinsworth Institute, prepared to enter the Military Academy at West Point, which the breaking out of the Civil War prevented; he was then sixteen years of age, but with the war fever in the air, he wished to enter the service of the Confed- erate Army; he assisted in the organi-
zation of a company, was chosen lieuten- ant, but was informed by the governor of Georgia that they had not guns enough for men, and they therefore could not arm boys; in 1863 he went to England for an importing company, which was organ- ized to build ships for blockade running purposes. In 1865 the family removed from Georgia to N. Y., and the firm of L. Straus & Son was organized, which in 1872 became L. Straus & Sons; in 1888 he, with his brother Nathan, entered the firm of R. H. Macy & Co., and in 1892 he became a partner in the Brooklyn dry goods firm of Abraham & Straus. Mr. Straus finds time to take an interest in public questions and civic obligations are not ignored; in the campaign of 1892, which resulted in the election of Mr. Cleveland to the Presidency, he contri- buted valuable services in the councils of the Democratic leaders, and it is believed that he might have had the portfolio of Postmaster General had he felt so in- clined; in July, 1893, the condition of business was desperate, owing to the alarm about the silver question. Mr. Straus went to Washington to lay before the President the extreme danger of the situation, and explained that nothing but the repeal of the Sherman Act would allay the feeling which threatened a panic; the proclamation convening Congress in spe- cial session, which resulted in its repeal, was issued by the President that same afternoon, and it was generally conceded that it was owing to Mr. Straus' influence that the important step was decided upon; he was a member of the Fifty-third Con- gress, but declined re-election; while the Committee on Ways and Means was con- sidering the tariff bill, he lent his hearty support and co-operation to its chairman, Mr. William L. Wilson, whose bosom friend he was, and for this his practical experience as a merchant, combined with his knowledge of the economic side of the question, particularly fitted him. In the field of philanthropy he holds a place equally as prominent as his position in the business world; the Educational Alli- ance, the People's Palace, of the con- gested tenement district of New York's East Side, of which he is the president, owes its present position as one of the great factors in the solution of the socio- logical problems among the tenements of the metropolis to his indomitable perse- verance and inteligently directed energy. He is a director in many and a supporter
