LORD LANSDOWNE.
England's New Unpopular Foreign
Minister.


C1iarquis de- Fontenoy in Washington
PosD.
In view of the fact that the Marquis
Of Lansdowne has succeeded Lord Sal
isbury as secretary of state for foreign
affairs, and, as such, has been placed
in charge of the relations of Great
Britain with the United States, a brief
description Of this peer may be of
timely interest. OF late he has been
subjected to so much abuse in cOnnec-
ton with his management OF the war
department that sight has been lost of
his many sterling qualities. One and
thirty years have now elapsed since the
memorable double wedding in West
Minister abbey. when the two beauti-
full daughters of the late Duke of Aber-
corn were married, one to the Marquis
OF BIanfOTd and the other to the Mar
qUis of Lansdowne- They are per-
trayed by Lord BeaconsheId in his
novel ''LOthair, the one under the
name Of Lady Corisande," the other
as her sister. OF the two men Lord
BlanfOrd was accounted far and away
the more brilliant, and the highest des-
TIMES were predicted for him, whereas
few dreamt that there was any future
IN store for Lord Lansdowne, who,
with his peculiar looking hair OF the
sCrubbing- brush type, appeared to be
the very peTsOnihcatiOn Of titled me-
diocrity. Yet Lord Blanford, failing to
realize any Of the expectations enter
tanned concerning him. died, in spite
Of his ducal title of Marlborough. a viz
tual outcast. Stunned even by those
middle class BTitOns whose snobbish
worship of the aTistOcTaCy leads them
to view with the most extraordinary
amount OF indulgence its moral short
ecmings and indiscretions.

possibly on account of his more COM
mon place observance Of the require
ments of cOnventionality and respecta-
bility. has been promoted to the high
est Offices Of the state, and after hav
ing held, in turn, the governor general
ship of Canada, the vice royalty of In
dia, and the secretaryship of state for
war, has now, as a knight OF the Car
ter, been selected to succeed Lord
Salisbury as minister of foreign affairs
Of the British empire.
The scrubbing brush hair has given
way to a badness which he has doubt
less inherited from his French mater
nal grandfather, the Comte de Fla
hault, who was distinguished even in
his younger days for his extreme bald
ness. Once, in the course Of a CONVEX
sation with the great Prince Talley-
rand, he expressed a desire to present
something really valuable by reason
Of its rarity to great lady, as mark
Of his respect and esteem, whereupon
Talleyrand remarked, Present her
with lock of your hair"
= g &
/ may add that the Comte de Fla
hauIt, the grandfather of Lord Lans-
downe, is generally believed to have
been the father of Napoleon III At
any rate, IL was to him that King
Louis BOnaparte Of Holland was accus-
toned to publicly attribute the pater-
nifty of his wife's child, who reigned
in after years as Napoleon III, in
which case Lord Lansdowne will have
been nephew Of the man of Sedan.
This klnsmanship was not repudiated
nv the imperial family of France. f0~

For fraternal delegates to the Brit
ish trades council the convention Sc
lected Daniel J. heefe of Chicago and
Joseph Valentine of San Francisco.
John r. O'Brien of Boston was chosen
fraternai delegate tc Canada.
During the day the convention trans
acted a large amount of business but
most of the resolutions passed upon
were of a technical character and I'M
interesting to the laiety. Another
proposition for direct trade autonomy
was disposed of by reference to the
incoming executive council, and a vast
number of resolutions, providing for
bOycOttS on various institutions
throughout the country, which it was
claimed, employed non-union labor,
were similarly acted upon in spite of
the vigorous protests of the delegates
who charged that such action amount
ed to an evasion of the issue.
