OTTAWA, Oct, 24.--An extra of the Official
Gazette announces the arrival of Marquis
Lansdowne, and contains the proclamation
of his assuming the Governor-generalship
When the viceregal party arrived at Rideau
Hall, last evening the Marchioness first
alighted, and, standing at the main entrance,

Rosa Thinks He Should Be Executed.
NEW YORK, Oct. A.-O' Donovan Rossa in
an interview, says: Marquis Lansdowne
will meet with Irish people wherever he
goes. They are spread all over the world.
% my opinion that ne will be executed.
Some victim of the oppression of his father
and himself will do it, or some child of one
OF these victims. There are plenty of them
in Canada. Men are not hung under the law
Tor the satisfaction of killing them, but as an
example to Others. 1t is for the same rea-
son that men like Lansdowne should be exc
cuted."
Sketch of the New Governor General.
The new Governor-general of Canada,
Henry Charles Keith Fitzmaurice, whose
principal title is that of Marquis of Lans-
downe, comes of ancient stock in the peer
ages. of Great Britain and Ireland. In that
of Great Britain be inherits the titles of Earl
| of Wycombe and Viscount Game and Calm
stone, in addition to that of Marquis of
Lansdowne, while in the Irish peerage the
creations have been Baron of Kerry and
Lixnow, Earl of Kerry, Viscount Clanmaur-
ice, Baron DInkerton, and, last, Earl of
Shelburne. The earls of Kerry trace their
origin to common ancestor with the houses
of Fitzgerald, Windsor, Carew, and McKen-
zie. back to Walter Fitz Otho, CASTELAR, of
| Windsor in the eleventh century, whose
eldest son, Gerald Fi,z Walter, obtained a
grant from Henry l, of Malesford, in the
county OF Berks The family for several
generations did valiant service for the crown
! in Ireland and Scotland. In 1922 Thomas
the tweuty-frst lord of Kerry, was created
Viscount Clanmaurioe and Earl of Kerry.
The new encouragement is the fifth Mar
quis of Lansdowne. His ancestor, the first
marquis was a general officer in the army
and a very distinguished statesman under
George Ill during Americas colonial strug-
gle with the mother country. In 1882 he
became Prime Minister, and in 1884 was Gre
ated Earl of Wvconbe, county of Berks, Wis
count Game and Gladstone, and Margins of
LansdOwne, county of Somerset. His Sec
ond son, born of his second wife, Louisa,
daughter of the Earl OF Upper Ossory was
the great-grandfather of the present Marquis,
who was born Jan. IA, 1916, succeeding to
his fathers estate and titles in 1866 He has
son and heir, Henry William Edmond,
born in 1872 who is known as the Earl of
Kerry.
The present Marquis is very little known
by Americans and his career has made no
special impression on this side of the At
lantic. He has been termed by one party as
L. l. L
try seat, Derreen, in Kenmare, county of
Kerry, in Ireland in addition to Bowood
Park, Calne England. He owns in county
Kerr "a 9S3 acres of land, including the
| whole of Kenmare, and 10000 elsewhere in
| Ireland. Only few years ago the income
| from these estates amounted to $4,000, but
| it has been greatly reduced in consequence
of the recent disturbances. In England the
! MARQUIS of Lansdowne has been termed
! model landlord, the following tribute hav-
| ing been paid by one of the leading papers:
| For generations the Lansdowne estates
have had high fame as models of manage
ment, the liberality and justice of the noble
owners having succeeded in producing
what may be termed English content on
| Irish soii.' The large landed inter-
ests of the Marquis in Ireland go
| far to explain his peculiar political
conduct. as evinced in his leaving the min
| isrry of Mr.. Gladstone in 1880, where he was
| flee for only three months. In Mr. Glad
stones previous lease of power, in 1885, he
had been made an extra Lord of the Treas
ury, so that, politically, he was much in
| debted to the present Premier. But tine two
bills introduced by Mr. Gladstone. e., the
bill for the relief of the Irish tenants and
| the Irish land bill-proyoked the resolute
opposition of the Marquis. and, although
Liberal, he has been an antagonist to the
government in its vital measures.
Socially, the Marquis OF Lansdowne is a
weIl-known and favorite entertainer, and is
possessed of charming qualities, which, it is
| predicted, will make him very popular
among the people of Canada He is a mem
Der of seven different clubs in London, and
is considered not only a good fellow" but
man of superior ability-one having mind
of his own on all occasions, and not easily
swerved by any pressure. He has three
children living, two sons and one daughter,
the eldest being eleven years old and the
youngest six. He represented as being
very different man from the Marquis of
Lorne, having more positive character.
