WOlseley:s Administrative Powers.
1t has never been my good fortune
to accompany force on campaign
under the command of Lord Wolseley,
and I write, therefore, under some
disadvantage. But the expedition
which he conducted from Malta to
Cyprus when he went to organize the
British administration of tnat island
was at least of semi-milltary charac-
ter, and the opportunity offered of
watching his methods as we'll as a
commander as civil organizer and
administrator. His leading character
istic struck me as equanimity. There
were many temptations to irritation

ness of the Turkish authority whom
we were dispossessing, in the hazy in
defteness OF the situation generally.
But Wolseley, decisive, nav, incisive
when occasion demanded, never be-
trayed sign of temper. That he was
energetic one could discern, not less
than that his powers of hard work
and of fruitful hard work-were ex-
ceptional; but there was no gustiness
in the energy, and he slid through his
hard work with apt, bright dexterity.
He never fused; and he never entang-
led himself in the labyrinth of trifes.
The absence of all friction in his
administrative methods, stood &C.
counted for partly by his own ldiosyn-
Grassy, partly-a phrase, indeed, of
the other reason-because of the per-
feet organizations and thorough inter-
working of his staff. I travelled out
from home with Wolseley and lis
staff. The latter had TO be gathered to-

as if they had stepped into it out of a
department in which they had beer
cooperating for years. While they
settled minor points Of detail, their
chief meanwhile slept serenely, easy
in the perfect assurance based on ex-
perlence that his subordinates would
deal with these as he would desire
they should be dealt with. 1t was
clear to me thus early, and the i'm.

Wolseley was the man who decided,
VINO decreed, the centurion who said,
''Do this" and that he had recruited
for the fulfllment of his behests set
of men on whom he could rely as in
telligent and devoted executants, and
to whom, therefore, he could and did
confide the functions assigned to each,
reserving himself as the chief, unham-
pered by multiplicity of details, for
the big work of resolving and direct
ing. In all this he was making no ex-
pertinent. He was sure of his ma
