Gladstone Addresses an Immense Crowd.
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON. May 27.-An immense gath
ering of people assembled on the grounds
of Hawarden Castle to-day to listen to
an address by Gladstone. Throughout
the morning special trains packed with
people from English and Welsh towns
and villages, far and near, were con-
stantly arriving, while hundreds of per-
sons living within few miles of the ex-
| premier's seat joined in the procession
| and marched to the castle. Gladstone
1 was in excellent form and voice and ad-
| dressed the vast crowd from an elevated
| position on corner of the castle yard,
while Mrs. Gladstone held an umbrella
| over mis- head to shield him from the rays
| of the sun. He was frequently inter-
rupted by applause, and the utmost en-
thusiasm prevailed throughout the day.
| Among the crowd were many recognized

handling timber who struck to-day for
au advance of wages to six shillings q
dav. The strike Is insignificant in itself,
but the men are encouraged IN the move
ment by the support of the Dockmens'
Union, and the likelihood that it will
spread through sympathy is very great.
As yet no attempt to fill the places of
the strikers has been made, consequently
there has been no disturbance.
AN INSPIRED ARTICLE.
The Paris Figaro, in an article analyz-
ing the relations between France and
England, advances the suggestion that
Lord Salisbury fix date when England
will evacuate Egypt. Such action on
the part of Great Britain, the paper as
snres its readers, would be the beginning
of the speedy settlement of existing diff
ferences between the two powers over
which there has been so much fruitless
controversy. In return for England IS.
withdrawal from Egypt, France would
consent to relinquish her rights in New
Foundland, and thus the only points of
contention between the Paris and London
governments would be wholly removed.
1t is believed the publication of this sug- |
gestion is made upon official authority |
and put forward as q feeier.
A MINISTER RESIGNS.
DR.. Won ScholZ, Prussian minister of |
finance, has resigned his position in the
ministry, and has suddenly taken his de-
parture from Berlin. No reason is given |
for his retirement, but it is surmised |
that as one of the most prominent mem
bers Of Bismarck IS ministry he found 7
himself not in accord with the policy OF |
the present administration. In accepting
the resignation of DR.. Won Scholz, the
emperor conferred upon him the order
of the Black Eagle.
A BERLIN SENSATION.
A sensation has been caused in Berlin
by the discovery that the Russian baron,
Wessiliski, is the owner and conductor of
the Russophile news agency in the Ger
man capital. The connection of the
baron with this enterprise has been
maintained with so great degree of Sc
crecy that its disclosure is something IN
the nature of shock. Coupled with
this discovery is the equally startling rev.
elaiion that the baron IS wife, who is of
American birth, is an intimate friend of
Coun tess Won Waldersee, with whom she
has exchanged frequent visits of late.
Alliance Between Russia and Germany.
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May 27.-Henry Rochefort
says he learns on good authority that the
conclusion of an alliance between Russia
md Germany is near at hand. This, he
adds, would give Boulanger another op-
portunity. He would be recalled as the
