London. April 22. Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman died this morn
ing. The ex-preniler passed away
peacefully. A pall of gloom Is over
the Islands.
Sir Henry sacrificed his life to the
demands of his countrymen. Instead
of taking care of his physical condi
tion he continued to perform the
strenuous dutleR of his office until
ho was compelled to take to his bed.
His death will probubly be followed
by a split In the liberal party, such
as occurred in the riemocratlc party
In lS'.'fi when Bryan was first nomi
nated. The severance of the liberals
Into a radical and conservative wing
will mean the returr. of the conserva
tives Into power. Campbell Uanner
man bad the great Rift of concllla
tlon and his personality has kept the
divergent elements In his party to
gether. &.r Henry entered parliament In
lVfis and three years later became a
member of Gladstone's first admin
istration, lit- held office subsequent
ly In every liberal cabinet. In GJad
stone's second administration he act
ed as secretary to Ireland and Is tho
only statesman of note In English
politic, who held that position and
retired not rained either In reputa
tlon or ruined In health. Upon the
resignation of Tiulfour In 1905 he be
came premier.
Herbert H. AcUlth was appointed
his successor -when he was compelled
to resign because of Illness and will
probnhlv continue to bold the, office.
Sketch Of His ! Ufe.
The night Honorable Sir Henry
Camptwdl-Bannorman, who had been
British premier since 1905. had a long
and distinguished political career.
His command f 'the liberal pnrlla'
raentarv Tuiy. with all Its diverse
elements, was a marvel in personal
prowess. He did .-not rule by any
adroit diplomacy, hut almost wholly
by the confidence that all the dif
ferent settlons had hi the essential
sincerity nf his attitude. It has been
truthfully ltmnrkcA that few public
men have wvr eanieli a place so
near to the hearts of ;lhelr political
supporter as Sir Hetiry. In whose ab
solute honesty of purpose there was
entire confidence.
Sir Henry Cumpbell-Bannerman
was the second son of the late Sir
James Campbell of Straeathro. For
farshire, snd was born In 1836. He
was educated at the University of
Glnscow, and at Trinity college. Cam
bridge. In 1S72 lie assvnicd the ad
ditional surname of Uannerman, un
der the will of his uncle, Mr. Henry
Uannerman. Sir Henry owed his
weolth to the great drapery firm of
J. W. Campbell & Co., of Glasgow,
of which his father was thro founder.
He entered parliament In 1868, nmt
continued to represent the Stirling
district until his death. He served In
turn ns financial secretary of the war
department, secretary of the admiral
ty, chief secretary for Ireland, and
twice secretary of state for war. He
was elected liberal leader In Febru
ary, 1S99, after the death of Glad
stone. During the Fonth African -war
his sentiments were of a decided pro
Boer character, with the result that
he split his party on the question.
Sir Henry bore the brunt of the
fight for several years In the house
of commons. He bore, too, the oblo
quy that sprang from public anger
over his pro-Boer iillltude. But he
was never seriously accused of dis
loyally, and his tinge of pro-Boerism
was long ogo forgiven by tho public.
While Sir Henry was universally
PILE DRIVER FALLS

morning. The dead man Is

Injured are Martin Johnson

respected he was never regarded as a
great political leader. In the sense
that Gladstone and Harcourt were
leaders. Personally popular and of
a most genial disposition, he never
showed the force necessary to domi
nate a great party. He . stood well
enough with the radicals, without
having aroused thtlr enthusiosm, and
he escaped giving serious offense to
moderate and Imperial liberals,
though the latter never took klrnily
to his leadership. But of his person
al popularity, Integrity and sincerity
there never was any question, and
"C.-B." as he was fumlllarly called,
was held In universal esteem.
In 1860 he wos married to Char
lotte, daughter of the late General
Sir Charles Bruce. She died In 1906
at Marlenbnd, after a long Illness.
Sir Henry was always a man whom
Gladstone regarded with favor. In
1SS4-5 he was given the Important
position ofi Chief Secretary for Ire
land, and In Gladstone's third cabinet
in 1886, lie was. Intrusted with the
portfolio of secretary of state for war.
This sam! position wos given him
in the Gladstone ministry of 1S92.
By no means strong n debate, and
by no means able as an orator, Sir
Henry was yet a powerful factor In
the house of commons. Beside
Gladstone, whom he succeeded In the
liberal Kadershlp, Sir Henry did not
compare either as orator, debater or
writer. Vet In bis way he was prob
ably even moe attractive than Glad
stone. While he wan never wor
shipped os a hero, he was always
prized as a personal fiend.
