Later in the line comes Thomas Spring
Rice. first Baron Monteagle, born 1870.
and died 1866. who was chancellor of the
exchequer of England at the time Queen
Victoria came to the throne. He was the
son of S. E Rice and Catherine Spring.
After service in the house of commons,
first for an Irish constituency, and later
for Cambridge and after filling various
minor offices. he became secretary of
state for the colonies in 1884. and a year
later chancellor of the exchequer.
In those days the sovereign was re-
CURED to sign treasury orders in person.
To Queen Victoria the chancellor brought
a number of these early in her reign.
How shall l sign" she asked.
"In these matters, your majesty" said
the chancellor sit will save you the trou-
BILE if you will sign simply the initials.

1t was the first intimate story told of
Victoria, and it, gaining wide circulation,
enhanced her popularity with her sub
jects.
In 1889 the queen raised the chancellor
to the peerage, creating him Baron Mont
eagle of Brandon. the very title which
James II had intended to confer upon
the earlier Sir Stephen Rice.
A younger son of this first Baron Mont
eagle was Hon. c. Spring-Rice, the father

were also many articles of native manu-

hair Of llamas and sheep, rude sahoais

The scenes are interesting. The crowd
was typical OF backwoods Peru. There
were better-class Peruvians, dressed as
we are: there were scores Of Indian Choios
or half breeds, and there we're indian men

The Indian men and boys wear ponchos

the remains of the great mines OF the
past. There have been frequent cave

is dependent upon American capital. The
Americans have already paid out millions,
and they are now spending thousands of
dollars month for wages and native
supplies. They are employing eight or
ten thousand people, and the money they
spend goes from here out to the villages
of the high Andes and down into the
Chaucho Mayo valley, as well as to
Oroya, which is situated seventy-ive
miles from here at the other end Of the
Cerro de Pasco road The freight sup.
piled by these mines Is the chief support
of the Central railway, which comes over
the mountains to Oroyo; and in fact the
mines have added largely to the PROG
perity of all Peru. Much of the millions
of the original purchase went to Lima,
and the present outlay affects many peo-
pie.
The American company pays higher
wages than any other institution in the
republic, and it works its men on short
er time. At present the working day Is
eight hours, and the ordinary wage for
natives is about rs cents per day. 1t
ranges from that up to 500 per month,
which is the amount paid to some of the
Peruvian foremen.
In addition the company is building
homes for its native employees. 1t ha stwo
classes of houses. one Of adobe and an
other of brick. The rent Is nominal
one of so cents per month. This is
charged in order to keep hold Of the prop
erty, for If it were furnished rent free
the native would think he owned it and
would sue the company on the slightest
pretext.
The foreign colony here is quite as in
teresting as that of the native. Here al
a distance of more than 5000 miles south
of the United States, almost three miles
above the sea, is an American industrial
center. I call It American, for 1t is run
by American money: but in fact the
foreign employees come from all over the
world. We have Australians, Germans,
Austrians, Irish and Danes. We have
graduates of the Boston Tech. of McGill
College in Canada. and OF the leading
universities of Germany, and. in short,
the experts of half dozen different ma
tons. The manager of the mines. and

Sir Cecil remained with the legation in

he was back here for nearly a year, and
still later. for two years more. 1t was

1t was said earlier in this article that

Sir Cecil is not prone to talk, but the

that famous Sir Stephen Rice the Jaco-

chief baron of the exchequer of Ireland.
The court of the exchequer was the only
Irish court from which no appeal lay to
England, and 1t was the court in which
land titles were settled.
