". E. Gladstone arrived here at 1850
p. m. and was met at the railroad sta
ton by tho reception committee and
others, who were admitted TO the sta
ton only upon presentation Of tickets.
An immense crowd gathered to see the
premier.
Mr.. Gladstone, alter exchanging tew
words Of greeting with tho reception
committee, was escorted TO Albert Hall.
The route was literally jammed with
Upon entering Albert Hall the pre-
mier received raptutous reception
from his admirers, who had there gath.
cred TO listen 70 what they expected to
be a deadly onslaught upon the house oil
lords.
The moment the audience saw the
premier entering the hall every man
and woman rose to their feet, waved
hats and handkereliiefs in the air and
burst out singing, Hes q Jolly Good
Fellow" Those who expected to hear
tho great liberal leader open up with
IN onslaught upon tho house OF lords
were disappointed. Mr. Gladstone In
the early part OF his speech gave no in
dication that it was, his intention to
mako tile long expected attack on the
upper house. He began by saying he
hoped for some Scotch legislation be-
fore tho end Of the year which would be
of benefit to Scotland at large aud to the
poor crolters in particular.
Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone said that
the question OF home rule for Ireland
was coming rapidly on them and he
hoped that should at any time the oc.
casion arise for soliciting their votes
that they would be given ina way not
to undo or dishonor the commanding
strength Of Liberalism in Stidlothian.
Loud cheers,
Mr.. Gladstone then turned to another
subject, saying that he was at least san.
guine that the loyal government and
the parish bills would soon become
laws. Mr.. Gladstone also expressed the
hope that home rule bill of some de-
scription for Scotland might become a
Law in the near future. [Cheers. Home
rule for Ireland" said Mr.. Gladstone,
his form seeming to grow taller and
more powerful as he touched upon his
favorite subject, might by some be re-
garded US being a failure" bat cried the
veteran statesmun, raising his hand
aloft and his eyes flashing with the fire
of his intense feelings, depend upon
it, that home rule. is not q failure"
loud aid prolonged cheers.
When Mr.. Gladstone was again able
10 proceed he continued, saying:
Weeks, months aud even years have
been expended upon the details OF the
home rule bill and in counteracting the
tactics Of the opposition, and it is now
recorded In history as fact that the
peoples house deliberately aud advised
" passed this bill, which was in itself u
most important stop"
The premier then read an extract
from q speech made by the RI. Hon
Jos. Chamberlain years ago denouncinG
the house otIords. Mr.. Gladstone said
that Mr.. Chamberlain's description OF
tho upper house, although greatly ex-
aggerated, was largely true.
Mr. Gladstone spoke for IN hour and
q hall, and ut the conclusion OF his re-
marks he said: "If the house OF lords
ever means forcing a dissolution OF
parliament it might depend upon 1t
that the Irish question would not be
the only question considered. but their
own independent and irresponsible ex-
istence would be taken into consider
alton"
Mr.. Gladstone added that the nation
had given tho Liberals authority, and
that with, tho help Of the Almighty
they would find means to reach tho
goal. Tremendous applau'e.l
