The. Rt. Hon. Heary Chaplin, who | has just been created a peer, has dis-| charged the duties of leader of the| nominal Opposition, in virtue of his senjority among ex-Cabinet Minis-| ters, since the formation of the coali-| tion Government. It is sald that Mr. | Chaplin's failing health necessitates | his retirement from the strenuous | lite of the Lower Chamber, of which, | | by the way, he has been a member-- and almost continuously---for nearly | fifty years. The son of a parson-- | that kind of parson who was both | country gentleman and ciergyman, | and was termed a '"'squarson"--and | educated at Harrow and Christ! Church, Oxford. The new peer is 756 years old. While quite a young: man he came into splendid inherit-| ance in the shape of the Blankeney | Estate in Lincolnshire--to this day | | he is termed the Squire of Blankeney | in the House of Commons. The | estate consisted of many thousands of acres of valuable land and a splen- | did mansion, and the rent roll was! pretty nearly a quarter of a million | dollars a year, Harry Chaplin--he is | one of those men who are "Harry" all their lives--got through the lot in pretty short order. For truth to tell, this now veteran | statesman and newly-made peer was not a little of a roysterer in the days of his hot youth. Hunting, shooting, deer stalking, racing, ecard playing, dining, wining, and the rest of it--h# was the equal of the best at any or all of these. When King Edward was acting the part of madcap Prince Hal, Harry Chaplin was one of his nearest and dearest intimates. He is said to have won as much as $500,- 000 on a single race, and doubtless has before now many times lost pretty nearly that sum. In his old age he was glad to accept a pension such as an ex-Cabinet Minister of impoverished means is entitled to, of / | about $6,000 a year, and to live at Leslie's, ft To Get French Islands. The possibility of the acquisition | of the French colony of St. Pierre by | Newfoundland Is being discussed id condi- | - official circles as a result of tions arising from the European con- | flict. The idea was suggested by the re- | cent negotiations which led to the relaxation for the term of the war of the so-called bait act by the New- foundland Government in view of the shortage of fish in France. The bait act was put in force in i886, and prohibited the selling of herring to the French fishermen whose head- quarters were at St. Pierre. With the advent of the war France withdrew the last of her fishermen om this side of the Atlantic, result- ing in a critical shortage of fish at home, Representations were made | to the Newfoundland Government, and in view of the circumstances it | was decided to allow buyers from St. | Pierre to purchase Newfoundland herring on the condition that the fish | should not be used for bait, but | should be devoted solely to food pur- poses | Within the next few months thou- | sands of barrels of herring, it is ex- pected, will be shipped to St. Pierre. i This coneeusion, it is believed in some | es, will pave the way to a read- | justment of the whole fisheries ques- | tion after the war, and possibly to | | negotiations towards the taking over! of St. Pierre by Newfoundland. ---------------------- Still Fit!
