night, to hear Gladstone. The APP
pearance of the noted statesman and
bis wife was the signal for pro-
longed ovation, with which Glad
stoue was obviously delighted. The
resolution expressed effection for
and undiminished confidence i'm
Gladstone, was carried with re-
newed acclaniatiODs When tie
cheering had subsidized, Gladstone
rose to sVeak. Looking hack to 's6
they saw, lie said, what was be-
Iieved to he a crushing liberal defeat.
But during the years which have
elapsed the horizon has frightened
There were many precursors Of Ger
tain victory, and that vic'ory could
rot be far distant. Mr. Gladstone
spoke wold of coDgratulation and
hope in regard to the temperance
question, reviewing the work and
added. "Those approaching my
period Of life may not witness it,
but many of you will see through it.
1t is a thorough and efficient
record of laws connected with the
traffic i'm alcohol, with the acknowl-
edgment of the right Of local popula
tions TO settle the question whether,
within their borders, the traffic al
public houses shall exist" Cheers
Touching the question of the
ID ition of hereditary peers, Glad
stone said it is at present rather in
the shade, owing to the priority OF
the claims of other subjects. He
should not be sorry if it would re-
main in the shade longer, provided
the lease were gained by its forbear-
ance and wisdom in dealing with
public sentiment. He warned the
house of lords, however, it might
make the matter burning question
if the peers were tempted to listen
to the counsel given by Lord Sails
bury when he contemplated the
possibility of liberal victory, and
remined them that all would not be
over, even if the commons should
pass the home rule hill. That the
house of lords might intorpose itself
between the judgment of the nation
and the incorporation of that judg-
ment in the form of law. Glad
stone said there was much in favor
u giving it forward place on the
liberal platform.

BRUSSELS, Oct 3 3-The funeral OF
Gen. Boulanger took place today.
As large crowd Of people were ex
pectpd, the ioc i authorities had
taken the precaution to provide an
imposing police force for the emer-
gency, the number of policemen
present, however, were unequal to
the task of keeping the excited
throng in anything ike decent
order. The coffin was Gov
ered with hundred floral wreaths,
tied with tri tolored ribbons mostly
from Fran ce.
THE GERMAN ARMY.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The German
artillery maneuvers which have
been in progress in Juterberk, about
twenty miles south of Berlin, have
ben attended by Count Schleffer
chief of the general staff, and 24
staff officers, three regiments of artIl'
leryguards and four other regiments
A fort built on the shooting range
eight years ago was made use of,and
other works were erected for test
of the guns. A large number OF
heavy fortress guls were tried for
the first time, the results being 50
satisfactory as to surprise the most
experienced artillery officer. A
feature of the occasion was tht
use OF strong farm horses to draw
cannon about the field instead
transport horses used last year. anC
which were found too weak even
for the lighter guns then employ
ed. The artillery maneuvers arr
considered by the kaiser ee hardly
less important than those of tn,
cavalry, and an elaborate report OF
the proceedings is being prepared
for imperial information.
The proposition to reduce the
term of full military service to two
years has been received with favor
by portion of the German press,
and Is known to be favorably regard
ed by the kaiser. The very vastnes'
aud expense ofthe German military
syst m however, makes it difficult,
ifnot impossible, to effect the change,
which would be great relief to tn,
people. Some high military author
titles, say that it would impair tn,
military vigor of the empire, Will,
Others have a contrary oplnion.
