LONDON, Aug. 22.-«Robert Arthur Tal- bot Gascoyne-Cecil, Marquis Salisbury, was the second son of the second Marquis of Salisbury, and had small expectation of succeeding to his father’s title and vast estates. Eventually he became one of the foremost of Great Britain's nobles and for many years was in the most important po- sitions in the governmaA:t. He was president in the Indian council, secretary for Indla, ambassador to an international conference at Constan- plenipotentiary at the congress of Berlin, first lord of the treasury, secretary of state for foreign affairs, and prime m.n- ister three times between 1885 and 1902, or} nearly thirteen years altogether. He was very rich. As Lord Robert Cecil he was graduated special life with the customary portion of a young- er son—nothing. He entered parliament at an early age and became one of the prom- ising young men of the Tory party. He was go without funds that he had to sus- tain life by writing for the newspapers, and for a time he was a gold-seeker in Australia, where he dug with a pick. Displeased Father by Marriage.
