vote. Among those now sitting in the
house Of commons are three native
Americans, and two who, though born
under the shadow of the British flag, at
some time in their lives have lived in
the United States and assumed the du-
ties of American citizenship, but hav-
ing returned to England have won the
right to sit in the British lower house
and to the honors that such right carries
with it. The American born members
of parliament are Sir Ellis Ashmead-
Bartlett, Mr.. Bartlett Burdett-C outts,
both of the old Bartlett family of Plym-
outh, Mass, and Mr.. +. A Charming,
born IN Boston. The two members Of
parliament born ON the soil Of Victoria's
dominions who have been American citi-
zens, but have returned to the old coun-
try, are Major T. b. Jones and DR.. J.
f. Fox
OF these five men Mr.. Bartlett Bur
dett-COutts is best known in America
There Is no doubt whatever that he is Of
the old Bartlett family, nor that his
name when he first went to England was
William Lehman Ashmead- Bartlett,
but there Is a question as TO where he
was born, one authority giving his natal
place as Plymouth, Mass, another as
Brooklyn, and still another as New
Brunswick, n. j. According to the last
mentioned authority, the father of the
man now under consideration was q
merchant, who had two sons, Ellis, born
in IS49, and William Lehman, born in
1851. These boys We're sent to England
early IN the sixties to be educated. The
older studied ut Christ Church college,
the other at Keble, Oxford, and both
were duly graduated with honors.
1t was while the younger was in col
lege that he met his present wife, the
Baroness Burdett -Coutts, who was and
is distinguished as the richest woman
IN England. From the time she set eyes
on the young American she exhibited
decided preference for him and engaged
him rs private secretary, a little more
than a year after his graduation in 1876.
At first he decided to follow the legal
profession, and to that end was called to
the bar of the Inner Temple, but the
emoluments of his private secretaryship
We're so considerable that he gave up all
thought of the law and devoted himself
to the baroness and her fortune In 1881,
after lie had been in her service for about
five years, he married her, in spite OF
the facts that she was nearly half a cen
tury older than he; that she was un-
comely In appearance to the verge Of
positive ugliness, and that she had the
reputation of being almost as eccentric
as she was rich.
1t was one of the conditions of this
marriage that the young American
should abandon his own name and as
sumo that Of his wife, and that is the
reason he is now Mr.. Burdett- Coutts in
stead of Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett. It took
a royal decree to legalize this change
Of name, but no such thing was neces-
sary TO the realization of the other lead
ing condition-that ESQ, 600, or $3.50
600, year should be settled upon him
from the enormous income of his aged
wife's estate This great sum, it should
be understood, is his absolutely for

though he often attacks his own side OF
the political house, and ut times during
the past year or two he has been par
ticularly sharp thorn III the side of the
prime minister, Lord Rosebery.
Mr.. i. A Charming, the Boston born
man who is now Il member of parlia-
ment from Northamptonshire, is a vast
" different man from the brothers that
have just been described. This differ
ence is political as well as personal,
for while they are both intensely Con-
sentative he is Liberal TO the core. He
represents a district of Nottingham.
His father was the late w. II. Chan
ming, n brother of the celebrated Viii
liam Ellery Claiming, who, after a Sc
ries of paStorateS in American cities,
was preaching to an English congrega-
ton i'll Liverpool when the civil war
broke out. Owing to his devotion to the
Union, the Rev. Mr.. Charming then re-
turned TO America and for some years
preached in Washington, where he be-
came chaplain of the senate. His daugh-
ter, the sister of Mr.. L. a. Charming,
married Sir Edwin Arnold.
DR.. J. +. Fox, NJ p from Tullamore,
who often passes for an American and
Is not ashamed of it, was born in Ire
land and educated at Queens College
court, where ne took up music teaching
as an occupation. Later he came 10
America, studied medicine on this side
of the water and for some years prac-
ticed at Troy. It is this circumstance
that gives him his repute as an Ameri-
can.
Major Evan R Jones, NJ. 2. from
Cardiff, despite his thoroughly Welsh
name and his Welsh nativity, is more
entitled to be considered IN American
than is DR. Fox, for Major Jones fought
for the Union in the civil war, and aft
er the close of hostilities was made

Tyne, and after his term there had eI-
PRED was appointed to similar posi-
tion ut Cardiff. where he now resides.
While consul at Cardiff he wrote re-
port on the wages and conditions of Ia
Dor IN Wales which attracted much at
tention. Besides being member of par
lament he is well known throughout
the United Kingdom as the editor of
The Shipping World and the author Of
THE Shipping World Year Book,
work which is of special value TO sea
men. Like DR.. Fox, Major Jones Is oft
en- spoken of in England as an Ameri-
can. and, unlike Sir Ellis Ashmead-
Bartlett and his brother, the husband OF
the richest woman IN the world, Major
Jones is not displeased at being consid-

dead are: Captain William McGilvey,
master; George McCort, chief engineer,

bell had been lost with all hands. On
Saturday terrible gale was blowing over
the lake in the vicinity Of Huron Isle

HAVANA. Dec. 1l.-According to trust
worthy information just received here by
the correspondent Of the Associated Press
the insurgents have been making rapid
progress through the province af Santa
Clara. The forces COMMANDED by Gomez,
Maceo, Rolof, Sanchez, Carrillie, Guerra,
Diaz and other insurgent leade rs have
united and are now encamped at Ajaca,
about fifteen miles from Placetas.
From the fact that so many Of the in
surgent leaders have concentrated their
forces it is believed that Gomez and Maceo
have determined to risk pitched battle
with the Spanish troops. This concentra-
ton of the insurgeDt forces, however. is
exactly what General Campos is said to
have been praying for, and with the com.
ing Of the reinforcements of troops from
Spain IL now seems certain that he will be
able to strike decisive blow.
