EFFECT OF GLADsroNE's RETIREMENT.

EFFECT OF GLADsTONE's RETIREMENT.
Dir. Gladst0ne's intimation of a deter
lnlhan0n to retire from public life has for
the present utterly disOrganized the
Liberal arrangements for the coming elec-
toral struggle. Desperate efforts have
Deen made to secure from him a number Of
en- gagements to make campaign speeches
during the ensuing election. The only
engagement admitted by Mr.. Gladstone
is one for Midlothian. In a recent letter
declining request for a speech elsewhere,
the Premier states that he has given a
verbal promise to his political agents in
midlothian that he will not retire without
addressing that (his presently constitu-
ency.
The Liberal election agents generally
report great difficulty In obtaining candi-
dates to contest seats on the Liberal plat
form. Radical candidates are, however,
reported to be plentiful.
DEMANDS FROM BIRMINGHAM.
The Birmingham Liberal caucus has
adopted in its programme for the cam
palgn the proposals. formulated by the re-
cent miners parliamentary conference.
These proposals call for the reformation
OF the House OF Lords by the exclusion OF
Bishops from seats and by a specific
limitation OF the power of the peers TO de-
lay or prevent necessary legislation.

met at the station by a large crowd of en-
thusiastic Conservatives, who vainly
clamOred for a speech.

BECHUANALAND ANNEXED.
The People Of the TransVaaI Incensed
and Trying to FOInont War.

LONDON, June 13.-The Earl Of Derby
Colonial Minister in the Cabinet of Pre-
mier Gladstone, in an official cOmmuni-
cation to the government of Cape Colony,
has intimated his approval of the action
Of Gen. Sir Charles Warren in the annex
alton Of Bechuanaland. This expansion
of Cape Colony excites an interest in
England that is subordinate only 10 the
resignation of the Gladstone Cabinet, and
this interest is made even greater by the
glowing descriptions being published Of
The capacities and possibilities Of the new
territory.
The London Times, in an article des-
cribing Bechuanaland, says: "In terri
torial extent il is much greater than
Spain. it is well provided with food, and
contains the best pasture land In South
Africa. II will grow ANYTHING" says the
enthusiastic writer, "irom wheat 70
oranges, aad the finest of grapes. 1t will
furnish besides many thousands Of farms
for settlers"
The Spectator, alarmed apparently at
the possible outcome OF this annexation
OF territory, comments at length upon the
subject and saws: SIN the same week
England assumes a protectOrate over the
Lower NIGER and anneXes the vast prov
ince OF Bechuana. Can anything De SAID
now about the rapacity Of Germany In
wanting the territory Of the sultan Of
Vitu, or Of France in claiming the Congo

publlc are incensed at the annexation OF
Beehuanaland 20 Cape Colony, and Will
sock an alliance with tribes In hashuna-
land. Just north Of Beenuanaland, and viii

EVANSTON, ILL, June 13.-FOr two or
three days past Michael Freeres, of Rose
Hin, his wife and two children, have been
attacked with symptoms of vomiting and
spasms, which aroused suspicious OF pOis-
Oning. A sister of Mrs. Freeres, Mary
Kleman, who has been accustomed to do
