GLADSTONE AND HOME RULE.
The English Premier to Introduce the
Measure To-Day.

LONDON. Feb. 12-Gladstone's friends
were very much opposed to his speaking in
the House yesterday. as they wished him
to save his strength for tomorrow. The
fears that he would exhaust himself, how
ever. were grouudiess. for to-day Gladstone
was feeling as we'll as ever. He went to
church twice. and had his usual appetite.
The thirty seventh question, which is to
come up in the House. is likely to delay the
Introduction Of the hOme-rue bill. The
whips are urging the members to postpone
the question until later. so that Gladstone
may be able to begin his speech as early as
&C lock. There is every prospect that
great street demonstration will be made
during Gladstone's progress from his house
to Westminster. In the expectation Of this
demonstration a special police escort has
been detailed to accompany Gladstone from
Downing street to the House of Commons.
