“REAPER SUMMONS SIR JOHN LENG
 
MONTEREY, Dec. 12.  Sir John Leng, M. P., who for seventeen years represented 
Dundee, Scotland, in Parliament, died at 10:40 o'clock this morning at the 
Hotel Del Monte. He was 78 years of age.

In 1893, through the influence of Gladstone, who was then Premier, Queen 
Victoria conferred the honor of knighthood on Sir John, and he was also given 
the degree of LL. D. of the ancient University of St. Andrew. He was a lover of 
travel and had been in all parts of the world. He was on his way to Japan when 
taken sick here. A widow and a daughter survive him and were with him when he 
died.” END
