of ;he Hungarian Chamber Of Deputies,
but has never succeeded in winning the
confidence of Francis Joseph 10 a sni-
ticfent degree 10 he entrusted With the
premiership, despite his chieiialhallp
OF the various principal political mar
ties III succession. He is justly famed
as ono of the most eloquent aud nm
iShed orators OF Europe. and itdSmuch
as ne speaks English TO perfection

Tall. fair his blond beard and hair
now streaked @itl graz, clear blue
eyed n pink complexion, and clean cut
features, with somewhat aquiline nose,
his face is of the Saxon rather thun
Of the Magyar type. Although his
utIe of count is of comparatively mod
ern origin, vet HIS family belongs 70
the Magyar urddci. that Is to say, 70
the nobility which was already N
existence at the time when Hungary
oh 40 a.
and it's history began Hc Is very rich,
owns extensive estates, and although ne
has frequently opposed the emperor
and his policy in the most vigorous
fashion, he has always retained that
monarch's favor, though not his polit-
ical confidence.
Sir Arthur Herbert who has been
minister plcnipptentiary at Chtisuahia
ever since tho election of king, iIaakon
TO tn. throne of Norway, and who Is
generally understood 10 nave hau some
share III bringing about lhat ciectloh,
slate.l FOR early promotion to the rank
of ambassador. The cabled report OF
his transfer from Christiania 10 Mex
leo. inst on the eve OF two, and per
haps three, of the, British embassies IN n
the Old World becoming vacant, is
naturally calculated TO cause a good
deal OF gossip and comment.
According TO Sir Arthprs lriendss ne
is taking the post Of minister TO MeA-
leo. by reason Of the fact that his
wife, who is an American, with large
interests in her native land, prefers TO
live on this side Of the Atlantic &C
cordlna to others both Sir Arthur ana
ladv Herbert have incurred the dis
pleasure Of the reignng house, not
only of Norway, but also of England.
The fact remains that al one mo-
mcnt the Arthur IIerberts were paftlc-
ularly high in the good graces OF both
reigning families; that after the cor
onation of King Haakon and Queen
Maud, when Lady Herbert fell III, the
then Prince and Princess of Wales
brought her back to England with
them on board the royal yacht, in order
that she might receive medical atten-
ton in London caring for her with me
utmost solicitudc.
1t has becn alleged that the first
riff in the lutte was caused by the fact
that an entertainment was given az
the British legation at Chrlstiania when
King EDWARD lay dying, ana after ~
wus known that his condition was so
grave that Queen Alexandra had been
.triagraphod for from Venice. III TINS
Is true, it can only be sold that quite
It number of promising DIPLOMATS
curecss have been injured by aifairf OF
this kind, ana that II was not nnt!l
the day before The Kings death that
the public was made aware Of the
gravity of his condition. Moreover,
his illness was so sudden that King

breathed his last,

OF Queen Elizabeth, and her recognized
