DULANY, Daniel, statesman, b. in Marvland in
July, 1721 ; d. in Baltimore, Md., 19 March, 1797. He
was a lawyer of Annapolis, Md., and served many
years as commissioner-general, secretary of state, at-
torney-general, and councillor of Maryland, before
the Revolution. Few details regarding his career
have been preserved, but he ranked high in his
profession, and was considered one of the most dis-
tinguished men of his time. Although a loyalist,
in which character he engaged in a warm news-
paper discussion with Charles Carroll, he was
earnestly opposed to the stamp-act, being credited
with tlie following sentiment : " There may be a
time when redress may be obtained. Till then 1
shall recommend a legal, orderly, and prudent re-
sentment to be expressed in a zealous and vigorous
industry. A garment of linsey-woolsey, when
made the distinction of patriotism, is more honor-
able than the plumes and the diadem of an em-
peror without it. Let the manufacture of Amer-
ica be the symbol of dignity and the badge of vir-
tue, and it will soon break the fetters of distress."
Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, while on a journey
to the southern states in 1773, speaks of having
spent "three hours with the celebrated Daniel
Delany." He was the author of " Considerations
on the Propriety of Imposing Taxes on the British
Colonies," etc. (London, 1706).

land, in 1782. He was a resident of Annapolis,
Md. In May, 1774, the Whigs of that city passed
resolutions calling upon the lawyers to bring no
suits for the recovery of debts due from residents
to citizens of Great Britain till the Boston port
bill should be repealed. Three days later Mr.
Dulany's name appeared at tlie heail of a protest,
in which the opinion was expressed that the reso-
lution was " founded in treachery and rashness,"
and that "' our credit as a commercial people will
expire under the wound." He was killed in a duel
with the " Rev." Bennet Allen, in Hyde park.

ing his administration occurred the famous extra-
dition case of Col. Argiielles, who, having sold as
slaves 141 African negroes who were entitled to
their freedom by the law, fled to the United States
to avoid punishment. The Spanish government
asked for his extradition, and, although there was
no treaty between the two countries at that time,
Sec. Seward, after a long diplomatic correspond-
ence, ordered Argiielles to be surrendered to the
governor-general of Cuba. In 1866, after the fall
of the liberal government. Gen. Dulce returned to
Spain and made a report, in which he suggested
a measure whereby all children born thenceforth
of slave mothers should be declared free from
birth. He was shortly afterward arrested on sus-

DU LHUT, or DULUTH, Daniel Greysolon, explorer, b. in Lyons, France ; d. near Lake Superior in 1709. He belonged to the numerous class of lesser French nobles, many of whom found themselves in Canada without incomes from their estates, and yet were prevented by pride from engaging in trade. It was these men and their sons that composed the " coureurs de bois." They were really forest outlaws, and many were the royal edicts launched against them, but without effect. At several periods of colonial history they comprised the entire male population under middle age, wives, children, and farms being abandoned
for the tree, fascinating life of the woods. Du Lhut is said to have induced, on one occasion, all the young men to enlist under his leadership for the period of four years, and at one time 800 men, out of a total population of 10,000, mysteriously disappeared. The profit to be derived from the trade in furs, with the freedom from all priestly
or secular control enjoyed in the wilderness, were the chief causes of this exodus. Du Lhut's traffic was carried on under the protection of Count Prontenac, and with the assistance of certain merchants, of whom his uncle. Patron, was one. He spent his time in the trackless forests, in the Indian towns, or in remote posts which he himself had planted, trading, fighting, ruling lawless savages and scarcely less ungovernable whites, and from time to time going to France to hold interviews with Seignelay, the colonial minister. He built a trading post on the north side of Lake Superior, at the mouth of a river entering Thunder bay, where Fort William now stands. Du Lhut
left Quebec in September, 1678, to explore the upper Mississippi, visited three large Sioux towns in the summer of 1679, held a council near Lake Superior to reconcile the Assiniboines with the neighboring tribes, and in June, 1680, started with four Frenchmen, an Indian, and two canoes to continue his explorations. On reaching the St.
Croix he learned that there were three Europeans on the main riv^er below. They proved to be
