GLADSTONE ON HIS TOUR.

Cheecred by Thousands On His Way to the Midlothian to Inaugurate the Campaign.
 LONDON, June 17.-Mr. Gladstone started out on his Midlothian campaign this morn ing. He was driven in an open carriage to the St. Pancras station of the Midland rail road from his private residence. In the vii cinity of the railroad an immense crowd numbering fully ten thousand people had assembled to give the Premier hearty send off. The rush at the station was So great that the barriers were broken down in the efforts of the people to get a glimpse at Mir. Gladstone. Scores climbed on top of the railway carriages and cheered lustily as he came in sight. The crowds on the plat form surrounding the depot yelled and cheered in 8 most enthusiastic manner and the cheering was renewed again and again. On alighting from his carriage MT. Glad stone wes instantly surrounded by surging, struggling mass who vied with one another in their efforts to show honor to the grand old statesman. The police instantly formed a cordon around him and with much diff culty forced a passage to the station plat form. Meanwhile the crowd howled them selves hoarse. The Premier bowed and smiled repeatedly in acknowledgement of the honors shown him and seemed to be in most happy mood. He was dressed in tweed suit and wore an Inverness cape. From the time of alighting from his carriage until he entered the rail way carriage the applause was continuous and he was kept almost inces- sanity raising his hat. After entering the railway carriage MT. Gladstone in response to repeated calls for a speech opened the window and in few words thanked the peo- pie for the honor shown him and adjured his hearers to let nothing prevent them from do- ing their duty in the coming elections MT. Gladstone then wished them good bye and the train moved on.
 The train bearing MT. Gladstone was met at London and Bedford by immense crowds of people, who cheered the Premier until long after his departure: After leaving Bedford the train did not stop until it reached Leices- tar where an enormous crowd was assembled to meet it. When MT. Gladstone made his appearance he was greeted with roar of cheers mingled with which were a few groans. The crowd was So dense that the committee delegated to present an ad- dress made it's way to the front with great difficulty. MT. Gladstone thanked the con- mittee for the address and regretted that the time at his disposal did not allow him to dwell upon the great question now before the country. "Will you give Ireland what you give the colonies with the greatest ad- vantage-power to manage, not impe- rial, but Irish affairs? During the fifty,four yea1s Of my siasm everywhere equal to that w which has been shown for this great cause. The eyes of the world are now upon us in degree never before equalled. Not only the British race, but the whole of civilized mankind has test1- fed the liveiiest interest, If, as have every reason to believe it will the verdict of the country shall be favorable to the people of Ireland there will be nothing less than thrill of joy throughout the civilized world. I place before you the noble ob- feet of human sympathy combined with justice and commend it to your deep and deliberate consideration for you have never had an issue to determine more charged with good or evil to the future advancement of his remarks amid the widest enthu- siasm He arrived at Trent at 1:10 p. m. and was received much in the same way as he had been at Leicester. He was presented with an address, but did not reply to it. be- yond expressing his thanks
 At Carlisle MT. Gladstone addressing an immense crowd at the station, said he would like to ask Earl Carnarvon what he told Mr. Parnell on the occasion of his in- terview with that gentleman in Dublin and to whon hs impartcd the converse tion that took aplace between them. If Earl Carnaryop knew the duty of minis ter he surely must have revealed the details of the interview to Lord Salisbury. It would have been an act of treachery to hold such an interview and not inform Lord Salisbury and therefore until he denied it he lGladstene) would feel convinced that Iosd Carnarvon did his duty in the matter. It was necessary he said that the nation should be exactly informed upon this point. The country had rlght to know and It would not be his fault If it did not know. The crowd manifested the greatest enthusi- asm throughout the Premier's speech.
 EDINBURG, June 17.-Forty thousand peo- pie lined the streets to welcome Mir. Glad stone upon his arrival this evening. 4ne Premier acknowledged the greeting by re peatedfy lowing as he passed along, but made no speech.
