WHAT THE TIMES SAYS.
The Times editorialiy says that if Arab
P.sha refuses 10 abandon the obno ious
works Admiral Seymour will Immediately
open fire and bombsrd Aiexsndria. The
Times adds that these Instructions are en-
tirely independent of the conference and
belong to a different category OF action.
They are an act of police rather than an act
of war. They are not based on the general
condition OF Egypt, nor on the relations
OF the khedIve to Arab Pasha, nor on sny
of the questions OF reierence TO the confer
ence, but simply on the paramount
necessity of securing safety to the Brit
ish flee, for which the government
is responsible to the country, and
cannot submit its responsibility to decision
power. The Tines believes he ambassadors
Yesterday agreed to invite the sultan 10
Formally intervene in Egypt under the specific
conditions agreed upon in conference. IL
ssys: 1T matters very little now what reply
the sultan makes. Ifhe is ready to do the
bidding OF Europe, we'll and good but # not
the Engi-h force is ready. Epsldnd is fully
prepared to employ it and Europe to sane
ton the same within few hours. II will
certainly be employed either actually or
potentially 10 effect its purposs."
THE WICKED MARQUEE
Speaking oil the recent attempted assa.sina-
tion of Lord Clanricarde, a London paper
gives the following ske ch of the noble lord
and his ancestors: The Marquis of Clan
ricardo was born IN 1882 and sat in Parlia-
ment for a series of years for Galway. The
family seat, Por umna Castle, is IN the county
of Ireland. During the Crimean war he
served with the Coldstream Guards, one of
the regiments OF the household brigade, and
WAS made prisoner by the Russians at the
siege of Sevsstopol. He wss released shortly
afterward and retired from the army at The
close of the war with the rank of lieutenant
colonel His town-house is in Stratton street,
Piccsd lily, adjscent TO the mansion of Lady
Burdette-Coatts. The attempted assassiua-
ton recalls an eccentric character TO memory,
the father OF the present peer, UlIck de
Butgh, first marquis. The latter noble nan
occupied many important posts in the En-
glish diplomatic service. He was at one
time under secretary OF foreign sffairs, and
for come years British ambassador at the
court of the car. He received a step in the
peerage-advaucement from earl to: marquis
and the ribbon of st. Patrick for his
services. 1t is, however, not his career in
diplomacy which gained him his extraordi-
nary notoriety, but the variety OF his mis-
iresses and the number of his ile-
gitimats children. Although very far
from being a handsome man, his
courtly grace and brilliant powers of conver-
sation rendered him almost inviucible with
women, and many a husband learned to rue
the day he first introduced the wicked mar
quis' to his house. His conquests were not
only among the highest ranks OF the English
aristoeracy, but also among the French, and
particularly among the Russian noble ladies
in fact, il is whispered that no less per-
age than a Romanoff grand duchess be-
came the mother Of twins OF which Lord
Clauricsrde was the father. The duo infants
in question were constant companions of the
old lord. IN the last years OF his llfe-he died
in 1S74-and grew into graceful and excep-
tionally sristocratic yourg women. His her
children he seems to have pensloned off IN
different directions, and not troubled himself
any further as 10 their future; but with the
two girls he was altogether different. lie
had them very carefully educated, and left
them at his death ali he could save from the
entail of his legitimate heirs and the wreck
of his personal fortune. The two young
ladies are now in New Zealand. One is mar
ried. They are exactly alike. When the
late marquis died over sixty stalwsrt young
fellows staggered into the Office of the fam
lily solicitor, and, claiming the late lord as
