TRIED TO SHOOT GLADSTONE.

Sensational story of an Attempt ON
the Premier's Life.
LONDON. April 2S. The Pail Mall
Gazette contains a most sensational ar
ticle headed ''Rumors of an Attempt to
Shoot Gladstone. The type used in
the headlines are the largest in use for
that purpose. The paper states that the
alleged attempt upon the prime minis
ter's life was made while Mr.. Gladstone
was walking throught Sc. James park
at midnight on his way to his home in
Downing street.
Accuracy OF the Report Doubtful.
The accuracy of the report of The
Pail Mall Gazette is doubtful. 1t is
probable that the story is based upon
the fact that man who is now in GUS
tody on the charge Of firing revolver
in a public thoroughfare had in his
pockets notebook containing number
of entries detailing the recent move
ments of Mr.. Gladstone. The prisoner
will be arraigned shortly and the object
In making these entries will be learned
If possible.
The article in The Pail Mall Gazette
caused much excitement among the
friends and supporters Of Mr.. Gladstone
and many inquiries have been made
from all parts OF the country as to the
truthfulness of the story.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Glad
stone, who attended adinner party, was
walking to his house about the time the
man who fired the revolver was ar
rested. He saw nothing of the occur
renee. and no one now believes that any
attempt was made to shoot him.
Intended For Someone Else.
When the shooter was arraigned in
the Bow street police court the police
man who arrested him stated that the
man had discharged the revolver in the
Horse Guards parade. near Downing
street. He evidently intended to shoot
the officer. "a.
An examination of the notebook re-
vealed the fact that it contained mass
OF rawlings against Irish home rule, amid
which was suggestion that the MUIR
der OF Mr. Gladstone would be justifi-
able. Upon this slender foundation the
report OF the attempted murder of Mr..
Gladstone was constructed.
