one delegate to congress who can't vote

conventions in the states never have

GLADSTONE RESIGNS.

The wires yesterday brought US the
unexpected news of GIadsto.e's resig-
nation. The Cabinet held meeting and
after a session of an hour and twenty
minutes. Gladstone went TO Windsor
Castle and resigned. This il move
ment that no one was prepared for, ano
il is impossible TO do more than guess
at its meaning. No one would have
been surprised had the Premier re-
quested the Queen to dissolve Parlis-
ment, for nearly everybody expected.
before home rule for Ireland triumphsd
an appeal would have to be made to the
country. Judging from the whole stu
alton the movement means one OF Ia o
things. First. the Cabinet refused TO
sustain the Premier's home rule meas
ure in Its present form. and rather than
make the concessions demanded
