LORD STKATHCOXA.
News o£ the deatli of Donald Al
exander Smith, Lord Strathcoiia and
Mount Royal, Canadian High Com
missioner to London, which occurred
in London on Wednesday, Jan. 21,
1914, will be received throughout
cho civilized worid with profound
regret. His faiae as a pioneer arid
builder of the Empire is world
wide, and his wife, whose death pre
ceded .his own by only a few short
mouths stood by his side in many
Imperial movements. At the time
o' his death he was in Jr's 94th year
During his long and eventful life
ho was actively connected wiht man
industrial and commercial undertak
ings but his nape is particularly
uor octcd with railway -development
u Canada, and especially was the
urbanization and success of the
'^aadian Pacific railway due largely
:o him.
Lord Sirathcona was born In Ar
hieston, Morayshire, Scotland, in
15J20, and went to Canada in the
smploy of the Hudson's Bay com-,
[>any iu 1S3S. He spent 13 years j
an the Labrador coast, and was'
men stationed in the Great North
ivrtst, where he was promoted to
be a chicf factor; later he was nam
■d resident governor ana chief com
missioner of the company in Canada.
He first became prominent in pub
lic life when appointed special com
missioner by the Dominion govern
ment to investigate the insurrection
it the Red river setle:nent. In
1870 he was elected to the Manitoba
legislature on the organization of
that province, and to the house of
tommoni, and was also appointed
L member of the Northwest Terri
torial council.
In 1ST4 he resigned from the
Manitoba legislature • and in 18S0
lostt his seat in the Canadian House
Flo re-entered public life in 1SS7,
when h'» was again elected to the
House of Commons, remaining there
until lsyc when he was appointed
to represent the Dominion of Canada
1 London as high commissioner. At
the beginning of his political ca
reer he supported Sir John Macdon
ald, the conservative leader, but at
the time ot' the "Pacitic Scandal"
in 1873, transferred his support to '
Liberals; but after 1S78 gave Mac
donald independent support in his
fiscal and railway policy.
In 1SSC he was knijhted and in
1S96 raised to the peerage as Baron
Strathcona and Mount Royal.
In 1896 he endowed the lloyal
Victoria College in Montreal for
the higher education of women.
During the Boer war in 1899
1902 he equipped an entire regi
ment of Canadian cavalry and sent
them to co-operate with the Brit
ish forces in South Africa. This
regiment was kuown as the Strath
cona Horse, and is still in existence
in the Dominion of Canada under
the same name.
The marriage of Lord and Lady
Strathcona, which took place in
1853, like the High Commissioner's
whole career, was invested with
more than the usual share of ro
mance. At the time of their first
meeting Donald Smith was a fac
tor at a lonely Hudson's Bay post
on the coast of Labrador and Lady
Strathcona was the daughter of
Richard Hardisty, a chief fac
tor of the same company, and
his Indian wife. Lady Strathcona
was her husband's constant compan
ion durintr many days of hardship
in Canadian outposts, and shared
with him the honors which political
distinction and financial acumen
brought in their train. Their Lab
rador marriago was in due course
ratified by special act of parliament,
and when Sir Donald Smith was
raised to the peerage in 181)C. they
were remarried according to the
rites of the Church of England.
To the last Lady Strathcona join
ed with her husband in distributiug
generously and even in her old age
accompanicd him on public occa
sions.
Only a few weeks before Lady
Strath con a's death, which occurred
on the evening of Wednesday, Nov.
13th, 1913, at the family residence.
28 Grosvtnor Square, London, W.,
the aged couple made a brief trip
