RT. HON. SIR WILFRID LAURIER, P.O., K.CM.G. (I'linie Minis-terand President of the Council.) PKRSONNEL OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF COMMONS. IT Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada, was born in the village of St. Lin, County of L'Assomption, Province of Quebec, on the 20th of November, i84i,his father being the late Carolus Laurier, Provincial Land Surveyor, a descendant of an old French family. He was educated at L'Assomption College and at the University of McGill, where, in 1864, he took the degree of IlC.L. He was called to the l^ar the same year, and on October 1 1, iSSo, was appointed a Q.C, His first parliamentary experience was as a member of the Quebec Assembly, to which he was elected in 1871 for the Counties of Drummond and Arthabaska. He represented that constituency in the local House until 1874, when he resigned to contest the same seat for the House of Commons, in which he was successful. In 1S77 he entered Hon. Mr. Mackenzie's Administration as Minister of Inland Revenue. At the by-election held through his acceptance of office he was defeated, but found a seat in Quebec East, through the resignation of the Hon. I. Thibaudeau, and retained his port- folio until the resignation of the Mackenzie Administration in 1878. He was re-elected for Quebec East at the general elections of 1878, 1882, 1887, 1891 and 1896, in which year he was also elected for Saskatchewan, but chose to stand by his old constituency. On the retirement of the Hon. Edward Blake, in 1888, from the leadership of the Liberal Party, Mr. Laurier was unanimously chosen fur the i)osition, which by his win- ning personality and commanding eloquence he has vitalized from a dor- mant faction into a living force. On the resignation of Sir Charles Tupper's Administration in 1896, Sir Wilfrid was sent for by Lord Aberdeen to form a Government, himself as Prime ]\Iinister and President of the Council. Sir Wilfrid, like a great many of Canada's public men, has had some journalistic experience, having been at one time editor of a paper called Lc Dcfriclicnr. At the celebration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1897, Sir Wilfrid represented Canada with sucii dignity and grace as to command the admiration of all classes in the two countries. On that occasion Her Majesty bestowed on him the rank of K.C.M.(i., and he was also the recipient of many other tokens of appreciation from different cities in England and Scotland. He also visited Paris, and was specially honored by the President of the P'rench Republic and by several public bodies. During his tour, which was in the nature of a tri- umphal procession: he delivered several notable addresses, and, for a time at least, attracted universal attention to Canada, which there is good rea- son to believe will benefit greatly in the future from the masterly way in which he set forth her claims as a field for the capitalist and emigrant. Sir Wilfrid was married on May 13, i8j8, to Miss Lafontaine, who shares with him the esteem of the whole Canadian people. 12 PIORSONNKL OF TIIF: SKNATK ANO HorSK OF COMMONS. HON. SIR R. d.

It is safe to affirm that no man living knows more of that extensive tract of country known as the North-West Territories than Lord Strathcona. He has led a busy and active life, and during his long career has been closely identified with most of the great commercial enterprises which have done so much to build up Canada, and at the present time is President of the Bank of Montreal. He represented Winnipeg and St. John in the Manitoba Assembly from the first meeting of that body in iS/r, until January, 1874, when he resigned. Sat in the Commons for Selkirk on the admission of Manitoba into Confederation in i87i,and was re-elected at the general elections of 1872, 1874 and 1878, which latter, upon petition, was voided. He was returned for Montreal West in 1887, and sat continuously for that con.stituency until Parliament was dissolved in April, 1896. Sworn of the Privy Council and appointed High Commissioner April 24, 1896. Lord Strathcona's many acts of benevolence are well known. In conjunction with Lord Mount- Stephen he built and endowed the Royal Victoria Hospital in the Queen's Jubilee year, 1887, and his munificent gifts to McGill College (of which he is Chancellor) has been the means of raising that institution to a fore- most position among the seats of learnin;^ of this Continent. His latest gift in this connection is the building of the new " Donalda College" for the higher education of women. On the celebration of her " Diamond Jubilee," Her Majesty the Queen was graciously pleased to bestow a peerage upon Sir Donald under the title of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal.
