CHEERS FOR GLADSTONE,

He 10 Given Hearty Send or on His
Departure From London.
LONDON, March 17.-Mr. Gladstone and Mrs.
Gladstone started for Hastings today. where Mr..
Gladstone delivers address at the an
nual meeting of the home county's division of
the national liberal federation. Mr.. Gladstone
proposes to be back in time for parliament this
evening.
As soon as Mr.. Gladstone was discovered
making his way from his carriage to the plat
form he was rendered tremendous ovation.
Cheer after cheer went up; hats and handker-
chiefs were wildly waved and as the great COM
moner entered the railway carriage the i'm
mense crowd closed in behind. and. breaking
through all barriers, swarmed and surged about
the waiting train.
Shortly after Mr.. Gladstone had taken his
seat the executive committee of radicals also
passed through the lane made for it by the
people, and, ranging itself before the open car
rage window at which sat Mr.. Gladstone. pro-
ceeded, through its chairman. to present him
with an address which felcitated him upon the
hopeful indications of liberal triumph in the
approaching elections.
number of the extra enthusiastic admirers
OF Mr.. Gladstone. not content with democrat
lzing the depot with their outbreak of admira-
ton, scrambled up ION top of the cars of the
train which was to take Mr. Gladstone out of
town. and there they stood and yelled and
cheered and waved until the train,
starting suddenly, threw several Of
them down upon the tracks
and platform. Two men were so seriously in
jured that they had to be taken to Charing
Cross Hospital, and several others were badly
hurt and bruised. The railroad station fairly
shook with cheers as the train bearing Mr..
Gladstone moved out Of the building on its
way to the seaside.

MIR. HUSTON TO REMAIN,

His Last Resignation Had a String Tied to
1t Like Those That Went Before.
The muddle over the United States treasurer
ship has taken another turn from upside down
to top-sid up, and until there is another shake
up Mr.. Huston will remain in office. The ac-
ceptance of his third resignation had a string
to it, seemingly, and it will probably take a
fourth resignation now to get him clean out of
Office. Though his resignation was accepted
before the adjournment Of Congress and Mr..
Lemcke was called back from New York to be
offered the appointment, Mr.. Huston seems
now to be no nearer being relieved from the
custody of the governments millions than he
was many months ago, when the curious little
comedy Of retirement was begun.
When Mr. Harrison talked with Mr.. Lemcke
about taking the Office to relieve his brother
lndianian Mr.. Lemcke had been about to start
on trip to Europe for his health. There was
some doubt about his being strong enough to
undertake the responsibilities Of the office
without first having some opportunity TO re-
cuperate. 1t was thought. however, that the
matter could be arranged. Mr. Lemcke went
to New York again, taking the matter
under advisement. and II is now understood
that he will soon sail for Europe and that Mr.
Huston will retain, for a while at least, the
Office Of U. s. treasurer. The outlook today is
that there will not be a change made in the
office, but of course the President cannot tell
at what moment Mr.. Huston may send in
another resignation with request for prompt
action.
