says the success achieved by Mr.. Glad
stone was the most complete and UNI
questioned 81 all his many successes.
How fully this is deserved, the corre-
spondent says, may be gathered from
the fact that every unit Of the DIVERSE
fed groups talks as ifthere never WAS
d doubt Of the home rule bill passing.
The Tribune London cable says Of
Mr.. Gladstone that when he entered he
received the reception OF n king. The
resounding cheers sweiled through the
chamber and rose again in the same
chorus as he began his speech. When
he ended there was cheers, but what a

attention given him at first deepened
into perplexity and ended in q visible

points vital To the measure. and lacking

days Of the session. His figure was
never quite erect, and often il was im-
possible TO catch what he said.

| Mr. John Burns, the labor member
for Battersea, said that he was greatly

democratic point OF view it was not an
ideal measure. lie objected to the veto

dition, afterward proceeding to the
house OF commons to listen 10 his lead
