He served in a number of high public offices and died at his country seat, Knowsley, Lancashire, on June 14th, He was succeeded by his son. As well, Canada was in the midst of a diplomatic wrangle with the Americans over the arrest of Canadian sealers in the Bering Sea.

Two questions, the principle of access to the sea and the issue of damages, arose. The Canadians insisted the two had to be taken together, the British wanted them separated. Each had measured American intentions differently. Canada was, said Stanley, at the awkward stage when it could not stand alone, yet resented being led. In February he explained to Colonial Secretary Lord Knutsford that in his dispatches he had to ask questions and make applications, on behalf of his Canadian ministers, that looked idiotic; he did not like to refuse his ministers even though the British government, he strongly suspected, might find it impossible to grant their requests.

The imperial government also wanted Newfoundland joined with Canada, if that were possible without violating the feelings of Newfoundlanders and provided Canada frederick stanley biography grant reasonable terms. He thought that Premier Sir William Vallance Whiteway of Newfoundland might want to make a display of negotiating in order to generate political capital from a Canadian refusal.

There was no longer the question of having to keep ministers in line: Thompson ran a tight ship, although he was away in Paris from March to June for the Bering Sea arbitration.

His elder brother died childless on 21 April, and Stanley became the 16th Earl of Derby. There were pressing family reasons to return home. Leaving Canada in early July, he was now out of politics for good. In Arthur was a founder of the Ontario Hockey Association.

Eventually known as the Stanley Cup, it was won in by a professional team, the Ottawa Senators, and is the oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in North America.

He was subsequently lord lieutenant of Lancashire.
