CURZoN AN IRISH PEER.

Although he is confessedly one of the
ablest Of English statesmen, Lord Cur
zon of Kedleston, formerly viceroy of
India, has had some difficulty in re-
entering public life in England. He be
longs to the Irish peerage and is not a
peer of Great Britain. so that he is not
entitled simply by virtue of his rank to
a seat in the house of lords. He could
have returned to political activity by
running for the house of commons, but
his health was impaired by his long
residence and arduous labors in India,
and he did not feel equal to the strain
of campaigning. The premier, Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, showed no
disposition to create him a peer of
Great Britain, which would give him a
seat with all other ex-viceroys in the
upper house. Lord Curzon therefore
sought and secured election to the house
of lords as a representative peer from
Ireland, the term being for life. A tech
meal point was raised against his cleo
tion, owing to neglect of certain formal
tiles

days of helpless drifting they and their
boat were picked up by the bark Syden-
ham which brought them to Philadel-
phia. These two men know nothing
of the fate of their shipments.
The news that a survivor had reach
ed Philadelphia after so long time
was received with considerable incred-
ulity along the waterfront yesterday.
1t seemed incredible that if there
should be any survivors they would not
have been heard from before this. 1t
was recalled that only short time ago
ing to be a survivor of the Tile E..
Starbuck and told a story of wreck and
hardship that while narrowing was
readily proved untrue. There was the
thought that there might be something
in the present case like that.
However, assuming that the Sewall
was not lost until at least a month or
more after the twenty first of Decent
Der last. something like ten months
after the Arthur sewall sailed from
Philadelphia, the details of the story
as they have been received here are
consistent.
The records of the United States
Shipping Commissioner here, so far as
they have been searched, do not show
the shipment from here of any Hawai-
ian by the name of Charles Dixon Bak-
err. When the Arthur Sewall sailed
from here twenty months ago she had
four Hawaiians among her crew. These
gave their names as Charles Dixon,
Charles Kanikau, S. Sam, and Sam
John. Hawaiians are often known IN
der two different names, one Hawai-
| ian, the other English, one often the
equivalent of the other. They do not
always ship under the names by which
| they are known. 1t does not necessari-
| " follow that the Charles Dixon Baker
| left here in the Sewall. There are a
good many Hawaiian sailors scattered
about the world.
| 1t was reported yesterday that some
native had said that he thought the
real name of the Charles Dixon who
shipped on the Arthur Sewall when she
sailed from here nearly two years ago
was Charles Dixon Baker. No con-
! firmation of this could be secured, how
ever. nor could it be learned that
any Hawaiian was known here to have
been sailor on the Arthur Sewall on
this voyage.
The eompleter details of this story
will be awaited with great interest.
