| I,AURIER TO SUCCEED
LORD STRATHCONA
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.

LONDON. Dec. 2.-lt is stated on
high authority that Sir Wlltrid Laur''
or will soon succeed Lord Strathcona
in London as the Canadian high com
missioner. After the recent sensational
Canadian elections Lord Strathcona
made ono of many flying visits TO the
dominion in order, as he told ms
friends, to "shake my friend Borden
by tho hand. -
During that visit tho question of a
successor TO the increasingly important
post of high commissioner was DIS.
Gussed Sir WiIfrid LaurIer expressed
the opinion that if he took the London
post Immediately it would look as if ne
were sinking his duty, which is to
lead the opposition. The force of cir
cumstapces has, however, prevailed
and Lord Strathcona s growing feeble
ness makes it imperative that his post
be filed Sir W;lfrld Lauricr has al
ways made great impression during
his visits to London and his appoint
ment would give the greatest satisfac.
tion. Lord Strathcona still makes a
brave attempt TO 90 about work at all
hours as if he were a young man, and
his physicians have long since despalrcd
of offering him advice, but during the
past few weeks he has suffered greatly
from violent pains in the neck and his
eyes have given him much trouble.
