Lord Miner, who it is said has re-
ceived offers from J. Pierpont Morgan
to assume charge OF the English branch
of his banking house, on the same basis
as the late Sir Clinton Dawkins, has
just completed the purchase Of a beau
tiful old country seat, known as Sturry
Court, near Canterbury. The house
dates from the reign of Queen Eliza
beth and occupies the site and the foun-
dation of an Augustinian convent which
after the Reformation was presented
by the Virgin Queen to Thomas
Smythe, a noted merchant of the city
of London, and farmer of the customs
The present Liberal administration
is apparently destined to remain in

that he should be making other ar
rangements with a view to his for
tune. For he. is not rich man. He
has no fortune. and cannot have saved
very much from his pay, as he was
called upon to dispense much hospital
ity in South Africa, where life was
and is terribly expensive. Sir Clinton
Dawkins resigned the post of Minister
of Finance of India IN order to be-
come a partner of ]. Pierpont Morgan.
There is no reason, therefore, why his

out of Office, and an equally able fnan-
eier, should not take the place which
the death of Dawkins left vacant In

Miner who is a bachelor, was at the
head of the department of internal rev.
enue in England, and deputy Minister
