Sir Frederick Bruce.
The San Francisco Tunes gives the following
obituary Of this distinguished statesman
The alusion IA the telegraphic news from the East,
70 the demise Of SIR Frederick Bruce, British Minister
at "ashinZto, leads 70 the supposition that a former
dispatch with direct information Of this gentleman's
deceise has niscarriei. The late British Minister
born about the year 1914, and was the second
son q = Scotch lord OF very narrow means. HIS
brother, the late Earl of Elgia and Kincariine, first
brought the Bruces into great repute by developing a
talent for diplomacy, which, il has since {
found. i equally brilliant in other members Of i
the Family The father Of this diplomatic family was {
Ambassador at the Sultan's court, but his resi- c
lence ia Turkey viii be longer remembered because =
lac took the opportunity while there Of collecting those :
celebrated specimens Of the sculpture Of ancient ?
Greece now in the British Museum called the a. Elgin !
marbles" than for any extraordinary ability as a
Of treaties. ,
The late Earl had advanced TO middle age before he =
had a fair chance Of showing his capabilities, but the :
circumstance Of being appointed Governor :
General Of Jamaica in 1872, and in that Office prov i
ng himself a good administrator, made his path easy. o
rom Jamaica he was sent TO Canada, and from being :
Iovelnor-in-General Of the American Colonies, the I
ate EAri was ordered 10 China at a critital moment, !
md as a reward for his success in negotiating the h
reIty with the Celestial Empire, which paved the :
yay for the present commerce, his brother, who was n
iP to that time comparatively an unknown man, was h
his successor On the expiry Of Nh. Bruce's 7
erin IN China, he had won for himself independently :,
{ the Obligations the British Government were under :
the head OF hs house, so much credit that he was :.
