GLADsroNE's BIRTHDAY.

Today William Ewart Gladstone 10
So years old. Not England alone, but
the whole civilized world will unite in
wishing the Grand Old Man unnum-
bered years or peace and happiness.
Mr.. Gladstone Is the most remarkable
product OF the nineteenth century.
There are few men that have been
hnanclers. authors, theologians.
scholars and statesmen, and attained
such an extreme degree of success as
he Indeed, 1t 10 doubtful If any
other man ever 30 thoroughly mas
tered 80 many distinct and dis
similar subjects. For nearly half
century he has been the
central figure of English politics.
During those fifty years his political
IDEAS and principles have been revolu-
tlonized; but no has nevered failed to
keep in closest sympathy with the
needs of the British people. Macau-
lay called HIM "the hope of unbending
toryism.7 Today he Is the exponent
of British democracy. As chancellor
of the exchequer he displayed know
ledge and grasp Of the financial prob
lens of the English government,
which have never been eqealed.
Never has the church OF Eng
land had q more unyielding de-
fender. Time and again has he crossed
lances with the greatest theologians Of
his time aud parried their thrust with
his clean cut, and irrefutable logic. Few
modern students of Greek have at
tanned his degree of proficiency, and it
Is said if anybody quotes to him SIN
gle line OF Homer's Had he can repeat
in the original the remainder of the
book. But 1t is IN defense of the princi-
pie Of home rule for Ireland that Mr..
Gladstone has won the respect and rev.
ereence of two continents. The his
tory OF his later political career is the
history of homo rule, and today with
the burden of his eighty-three years Of
unceasing activity resting upon him,
the world wishes him God speed in his
battle for Irish homes and Irish liberty.

Yesterday was the opening day Of the
spring meeting on the Kent race track.
The attendance was meager in comparison
to the crowd the event would have drawn

manner of its performance had been
known beforehand.
Promptness, rare virtue in Western

sion. The judges ruled the roost once. in
stead of sub-letting the undertaking to q
few horsemen.
Today's card has some good entries.
There will be q quarter dash and special

ORDER COMING OUT OF CHAOS.
BriEadier- General Curry in Chargs-An
Improved COMMUNICABLE First
Regiment Roster.

STATE CAMP, n. G. W., AMERICAN LAKE,
June 22.-[Special. l--Order is arising out
of chaos, and tomorrow will see the Wash.
ington National Guard in full running
order in all the details of its second en-
campment. Owing to some misunder-
standing the tents were not sent out and
delivered in the manner they should have
been, and as consequences some delay has
been experienced in arranging them, but
under the supervision Of Captain Billings,
of g company, and Captain Frost the
grounds are gradually assuming military
aspect. 1t is estimated that there will be
about 1,200 men in camp, the First
regiment turning out particularly
strong, but a large number of members
who are unable to attend would have
done so had the encampment been held in
July. Company quarters have been ar
ranged according to the rank of its OIL
GERS. The company streets will be kept
in fine order. and it is expected that the
companies will take particular pride in
seeing who will have the neatest quarters.
Brigadier-General A. P. Curry is in COM
mand of this camp. Colonel s. w. Scott
is inspector general. Adjutant-General
O'Brien is busy attending to the details of
this camp, and Colonel Albert Whyte, as
SAsst'AAs SoAAAAAoS"is SShSAoAs 40 va hohAS
head over heels in the care of his depart
ment, while Colonel III. +. Garretson and
Lieutenant Cromwell keep up their end.
The Second regiment made favorable
appearance and elected applause for their
appearance. Colonel Whyte, assistant
commissary general, has his hands full at
tending to the wants of the companies.
Colonel Green and staff, with Companies
B. d and E. arrived here at 12:40, and
with the First regiment band paraded
to their quarters. Captain G. w.
Billings is officer of the guard and is
holding mp his end in fine style.
Captain Weatherwax, of K company of
Aberdeen. has not qualified, but will be
here in time to take part in the camp.
Captain c. w. Billings was in charge Of
the detail assigned to arrange and fix up
the First regiments tents and has done
his work well. Captain Frost, of the Sec
ond regiment. was assigned to fix up the
Second regiment quarters. Colonel Trot-
ter yesterday appointed Sergeant Scaley,
of G company, ordnance sergeant. Part
of his duties will be the firing of the
morning and evening guns.

The Solo Singers Disappointed tho Ia
coma Choral Society.

The Solo Singers Disappointed tho Ta-
coma Choral Society.
The June musical festival will not be
held in Seattle, as advertised d. 8. John
son, president of the Tacoma Choral So
ciety, came to Seattle yesterday to make
the announcement. The affair was gotten
up by E. T. ZiegIer, who made representa-
tons by which he secured the cooperation
of the Tacoma Choral Society, q remark
ably fine organization, which is q credit
not only to Tacoma, but to the state. In
explanation of the matter Mr.. Johnson
said yesterday:
When the members of the Tacoma Choral So
ciety undertook to give q musical festival In
Tacoma and Seattle, they contracted with MI
f. T. Zsigler for Quartette of soloists of ma
tionai reputation and of general acceptance
with the American people. With the approval
OF the society Mr. Zeigier advertised them as
star soloists from the East. A few days ago Mr..
Zeigler informed the society that the singers
engaged could not come; but another auartette
equally good was the way. They came; but
did not know what they would be expected to
sing, and were totally unacQuainted with the
works to be given at the festival: neither were
they up to the standard of the singers engaged.
Therefore the Tacoma Choral Society refuses to
proceed with the festival when the solo work
could not be as good as advertised.
The following dispatch from Tacoma
throws further light on the matter:
TACOMA, June 22-There was q revolutionary
change of programme at the musical festival
matinee this afternoon The soloists imported
from Chicago for the festival did not appear
from various causes. The altered programme
was carried out successfully by the Tacoma
amateurs, assisted by Sgnor Rebagliati, Miss
Maud Morgan and Professor Alvah Glover Sal.
mon. Mrs. Macintosh was encored and COM
PEELED to repeat save Maria" The orchestra
selection, "Far West" by Kappitz was superb
Miss Maud Noyes succeeded well in the solo part
OF the "Infammatus"
In explaining the absence of the imported
song birds Professor Joy said, substantially:
eve had expected to have artists here OF world
wide reputation. Through some misunderstand-
ing We were disappointed, and If we are TO
have amateur talent we are going to have W.
