Gladstone not only manifested his SYM

his deep regret that it was impossible for him
TO return to England to attend the funeral
of the Duke of Clarence, and expressed
a wish that he might be permitted to send
Herbert Gladstone as his representative
This proposal, however, could not be ac

Europe After an unbrOken career of
thirty-seven years lie NOrd, the great Rus

the Russian Chancellerie, and in its Infancy
the prices offered to writer's were looked on
as fabulous. Its disappearance Is an Omin-
Gus sign of the times. Either the Govern

lures or the necessity of a friendly French
organ exists no lOrger or 1t is impossible TO
find a successor for TheOphlle Francischi.
