WASHINGTON. March %.
The president sent to Congress today the

missioner with a message, in which he saws
The exhibit thus made of the operations
of the commission, and the account thus
presented of the results following the execu-

demonstrate its usefulness and strengthen the
conviction that this scheme for reform in the

no longer an experiment Wherever this
reform has gained foothold it has steadily

the public administrative duties, while people
who desire good government have certainly
been confirmed in their high estimate of it.

GLADSTONE SERIOUSLY Ill.
Physicians in Constant Attendance on
the Premier--Michael David speaks of
the Great Leaders Plans.

LONDON, March a5.
Mr.. Gladstone has been taken suddenly and
seriously i'll. He is confined to his house
and physicians are in constant attendance.
Michsei Davitt gives this account OF the
plans which MIR, Gladstone has cherished. and
Of the tactics which would have been used
had he been able to make his statement in the
Commons today:
First, he will take the sense of the House
OF Commons on this issue as soon as possi-
bic and the verdict of the country after
wards. 1t he should be defeated in Parlia-
ment, this means allowing the landlords TO
stew short time longer in their own juice,
and Il also means playing the trump card
against MIR. Chamberlain; and finally, it
means II reaction in Great Britain in favor
of home rule. The fear created by f200,-
900, 900 with which the British taxpayer was
to have been burdened on accound of ireland
will give way to the feeling that as home rule
will not cost money it is the cheaper ques-
tion to be dealt with 1t will pass the House
of Commons by a majority of Go The land
purchase scheme would, it is calculated in
volve Gladstone's defeat bv Is votes Tue
House OF Lords will, of course. throw out
home rule, but their opposition will win for
it the support of all those Englishmen, and
their number is legion. who are resolved to
abolish the hereditary obstructionis of the
upper house. On the whole the outlook for
Ireland Is eminently satisfactory. Land
lordism is between the devil and the deep
sea, and the Irish Parliament is certain in
the near future.
The United Ireland, Psrnell organ of
Dublin, says that should Mr.. Gladstone's
Irish scheme fail it would be followed by
most horrible suppressed civil war"
Mr. Gladstone caught cold yesterday aud
is confined to his room. He is suffering from
chills and diarrhes He was to have an

Commons today. His illness at thi. juncture
is regarded as political misfortune

The shipping Bill.

The report of the majority of the shipping
committee to accompany the free ship bill
after reviewing the present law relative to
American registry. says: The bill reported
provides in substance that all vessels of
whatever build, owned wholly by citizens or
companies incorporated by State law, shall
be registered as vessels of the United States
and shall be entitled to all benefits and priv
ileges appertaining to such vessels The
minority report says the adoption of the bill
would be unjust to the shipbuilding industry
in that it is proposed to place on the free list
completed manufactures OF the most compli-
Gated character, while every other completed
manufacture imported was left with duty at
least 30 per cent that the free ship policy
would result in the destruction of our ship
building industry and that the effect would
be to transfer the building of such ships as
we might need to British shipyards and Brit
ish workmen.

other States and territories east and south,
being driven to a uniform through rate,
will be compelled to make it more nearly
sufficient to pay the cost of operating the
roads. But if the low through rate should
be continued, then there must be sufficient
income secured from local rates. Bnt to
raise them will be to cripple local pro-
ductive and other interests, and to invite
the regulatiye activity of the State. But
again, to much raise the through rates viii
be simply to transfer the transportation OF
goods from the Atlantic to California to
the ocean lines, and, as we remarked yes
terday, these would always be maintained
at figure just below the rate possible TO
the rail lines.
In this dilemma, Colonel Croker is pos
tive that rail lines would abandon through
business as compensatory, and sustain the
roads upon local rates, which yield 70 per
cent. of the receipts. The State, unable
to control through rates, would be COM
PEELED to accord the roads local rates that
would insure their operation, and thus
California would be cut off practically from
the benefit through rates by rail now
give her, and her trade eenters cease to
be distributing points, and, as one of the
railroad managers emphatically puts it,
trade would be absolutely paralyzed,'
