London, March 20.-The Duke Of
Connaught, accompanied by his wife
and daughter, are leaving Canada this
week for England and it is generally
understood here that his royal high
ness will not return to Ottawa, though
as yet there has been no official an
nouncement to that effect. The duke
is known to have a strong and sincere
liking for Canada, and doubtless would
be pleased to remain there another
two years. But the climate across
seas apparently has never agreed with
the Duchess of Connaught and in view
of this fact it is believed certain that
the duke has now practically ended his
tenure of office as governor general of
the dominion.
The question as to who will be nam
ed to succeed the Duke Of Connaught
at ottawa has become a subject of live
1y speculation here. The names OF
half dozen prominent persons have
been mentioned, among them at least
two close connections of the royal

is exceedingly wealthy and man of
high culture. He has perhaps, too
exalted view of the worth and prerog-
atives of the aristocracy, which vul-
nerable point has left a welcome open
ing for his enemies, who have not
hesitated on occasions to call him a
snob and a prig. In conclusion, it
may be said that Lord Beauchamp is
of very pious turn of mind. He has
always taken an active interest in
church and Sunday school work and
in his youth he carried his enthusiasm
so far as to appear in the role of a
street preacher.
The Canadian post, there is little
doubt, would be highly acceptable to
the Countess Beauchamp, who is a
sister of the immensely wealthy Duke
of Westminster, and before her mar
riage, some ten years ago, was Lady
Lettuce Grosvenor. She has always
taken a keen interest in her husband
political work. 1t is rather an inter
esting coincidence that one of her
warmest frieads is Princess Patricia
of Connaught, who has been frequent
visitor to Madresfeld Court, near NAL
vern. the beautiful home of Lord and
Lady Beauchamp. Their eldest son,
Viscount Elmley, is nine years old,
and they have four other children
Lord Beauchamp's peerage is com
paratively modern, being less than a
century old, and his connection with
the historic house of Beauchamp
which played so prominent part in
! English history, is indirect and re-
mote. The father of the present Earl
was at one time a captain in the Wor-
cestershire Yoemanry Cavalry and
subsequently one of the Lords of the
Admiralty, it having been thought adj
visable, so it seems, that the board
which administers the British naval
affairs should be strengthened by the
appointment thereto of a horse ma
rine.

family. But the best authorities seem
to agree that the young Earl of Beau

most likely to win the race. He has

favor.
