GLORY FOR GLADSTONE.
His Followers Accord Him a
Grand Ovation Friday Night.
Copyright Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-The moment Mr..
Gladstone finished speaking in the
house of commons last night, which was
exactly at 8 o'clock, the speaker, Rt.
Hon. Arthur W. Piel, left the chair to
partake of his usual chop or Sterk. This
afforded an opportunity for Mr.. Glad
stones followers to express their appre-
citation of his great Oratorical effort in
behalf of Mr.. Parnell'S amendment to
the speech from the throne. Hardly
had the speaker vacated the chair be-
fore all the Liberal members, as if by
preconcerted arrangement, arose from
their seats and sought the floor,
where they formed around the
grand old man, and as many as
could shook him by the hand,
while the others gave round after round
of cheers. The cheering was kept up
without the slightest cessation for fully
five minutes. Mr.. Gladstone bowed
repeatedly and was visibly affected by
the demonstration in his honor. 1t was
the most exciting scene witnessed in the
house OF commons for generation. A
veteran representative of one of the
London dailieS, who has been reporting
the proceedings for the past thirty
years, declared to your correspondent
that it eclipSed any demonstration he had
ever witnessed during his time. When
the excitement had somewhat subsidized,
Mr.. Gladstone, who was much agitated,
withdrew, but the
HOUSE RANG WITH CHEERS
until he had disappeared. A relapse
from the excitement followed and lasted
till 10:40, when Mr.. Goschen rose to
reply. His style was vigorous and he
had been speaking thirty-fve minutes,
the house listening with marked atten-
ton, when Mr.. Gladstone re-en-
tered. His appearance was the sig
nal for another Outburst by
the Liberals. He paid but little atten-
ton, however, to the applause which
greeted him, and went directly to his
seat. His appearance seemed to intuSe
Mr.. GOSchen with renewed vigor, and
he was hardly seated when Mr.. GOSchen
exclaimed: Remember Mitchelstown,"
quoting an Oft-repeated expression of
Mr.. GladStone'S. These fruitful words
had hardly escaped his lips when Az
mold Morley, tire chief Gladstone whip,
was seen pushing his way to the front
opposition bench with telegram in his
hand announcing
TIE EXTRAORDINARY VICTORY
that the Liberals had gained in the
election at Southwark. In a moment
the Liberals were on their feet, cheer
ing and waving their hats. The news
quickly spread among the Conserva-
tives. Mr.; Goschen stood aghast, and
finished his speech in a low tone
approaching entire collapse. Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach attended the
cabinet meeting to-day for the first time
since his illness. AS president of the
board of trade, Mr. Balfour was also
present. On his departure, he was fol-
lowed by two detectives as bodyguard.
His appearance indicated great mental
strain. He removed his hat and wiped
the perspiration from his brow almost
continuously, although bitter cold wind
prevailed.
The events of the past few days have
undoubtedly given the greatest impetus
to the hopes of the Liberals that they
have ever received.
A BAD REPORT.
Dispatches received from San Reno
late this afternoon state that the condi-
ton of the crown prince is critical, and
that he is threatened with a relapse.
That the wound in the larynx caused by
the operation of tracheOtomy shows
little indication of healing is considered
by medical men as dangerous Symp-
tom and as almost confirming DR.. Berg
mann'S diagnosis that the disease is of a
cancerous nature. 1t certainly indi-
Gates that the disease is of malignant
nature.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Cunningham Graham, member of
parliament, and John Burns, a socialist
leader, both of whom were liberated
from Pentonville prison to-day after
six weeks durance in that dungeon, for
participation in the Trafalgar square
riots, will be entertained at tea Soiree
tonight at Crown hall. Mr.. Stead,
editor of the Pail Mall Gazette, will pre-
side. MeSSrS. Burns and Graham and
others will speak. This is preliminary
to demonstration in honor of the two
liberated labor champions which Is to
take place ON Monday and which, it is
expected, will be on large scale.
Prince Henry, of Battenberg, the hus-
band of the queens youngest daughter,
Princess Beatrice, seems to be pecu-
liarly unfortunate in his hunting advent
ures. While hunting on the Isle of
Wight Oh Wednesday, he was thrown
from his horse, sustaining injuries to his
arm and shoulder. His injuries were
slight, however, and he was able to be
about on the following day.
