LONDON, May 16.-Mr. GIadstone's
was literally lined with his admirers.
At every station lie was greeted by
crowds of people who had assembled
hours before the arrival of his train,
and patiently awaited his coming. at
few Of the stations he was compelled
to speak in response to repeated calls,
but his remarks were brief and unim-
portant from a political standpoint of
view. As the train went into Norwich
tremendous cheer went up from the
great crowd surrounding the station,
and the ex-premier's appearance on the
platform was the signal for another and
greater outburSt of applause. AS Mr..
Gladstone and the committee delegated
to receive him entered carriages and
were driven slowly away, the vast
crowd formed in line and followed,
cheering as they marched. No greater
demonstration of popular admiration

cOnditiOnally by the latter. The con-
ditionS laid down by the tenants are
that the estate shall reinState all Of the
tenants who have been evicted and
place them upon the same footing in
the future as those remaining, and that
the houses destroyed shall be rebuilt
and put into the possession of
the evictees without expense to them.
1t is thought probable that the
conditions will be accepted i'll order to
avoid further trouble. Elaborate prep
aratiOns are making for the celebration
OF the queens birthday, which, although
actually occurring On May "a, will be
observed this year on "Wednesday, May
81. The infirmitieS and
Vagaries of Her Majesty
have combined to place her birthday in
the list of movable feasts, and the an
nual celebration of the event requires
special appointment in order to insure
spOntaneity in its observation. For the

commons this evening Sir James Fer
guSSon, under foreign secretary, said
the government was unable to confirm
the story published in the Post to the
effect that an agreement had been en-
tered into between Cardinal Lavigerie
and the German East African company

Sir James also stated that the govern

address to the home government pro-

In the house of lords this evening Lord |
Salisbury declared that the state .nent |
that Germany in 1883 requested Eng
land to join her in all offensive and de-
fensive alliance was utterly untrue.
Equally baseless, also. he said, was the |
report that there was any estrange-
ment between Germany and England. |
When the present emperor assembled |
the throne the relations of the two
countries were then, as they are now,
of the most friendly character.
