SHE MAY BE RAISED.
An Attempt VIII Be Made to Save
the Kearsaroe.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Kearsarge
will be raised from Rnncador Reef if the
House Committee on Naval Affairs has its
way. To-day the committee voted to
report fayorably upon the bill of Blair of
New hampshire, but it was more generous
than Blair proposed. While his bin would
appropriate $500 the committee decided
10 raise the sum to $4,000, with the
proViso that the wrecking company shall
receive not more than $4,000 if the
attempt Is failure. Several proposals
lor raising the Kearsarge have been made.
Inc "recklng companies represented the
Rttempt would be perfectly feasible one.
McEttry OF Massachusetts, has intro
duced a bill to incorporate an orcaniza-
ton to be formed by yeterans who servsd
on the hearsarge during the war. 1t is
called the Kearsarge Association of Naval
Veterans. The survivors intend tn col-
lect meneDtoes of the old yessel ard
when the organization comes IN an e,d

stitdtion.
Secretary Herbert to-day sent Gum
mIngs of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs letter indorsiEg the proieet of
rescuiDg the Kearsarge. The Secretarv
urged that any action toward rescue be
AIKEN at once. The Naval Cnmmittee

afternoon says the Premiership has been

Later it was offered to Earl Spencer, First
Lord of the Admiralty. who accepted, and
adds that Gadstone's resignation goes int o
effect at Easter.
In an in terview to-day, Chairman Cowan
Of the Midlothian Liberal Association,
stated that Gladstone had often said he
would take the earliest opportunity for
resignng,
The Chronicle says the retirement of
Gladstone is imminent. Ii is almost an
open secret that his eyesight is no 10 niger
equal to even the least important duties Of
political leader. All the stories of dis
sension and disappointment at legislation
being baked may be dismissed as wholly
unaffecting his decision. When Gladstone
resigns the wand it will be because his hand
can no longer WELD il, and for no other
reason whatever. 1t is probable that on
decision has yet been reached as to the
moment of resignation.
1t is announced that Sexton, member of
Parliament for Kerry. has already taken
steps to obtain pledges with regard to
home rule in the event of Rosebery or the
Earl of Spencer becoming Premier.
The Daily News says Gladstone has
taken no steps in the direction of resign
ing. The Earl of Kosebery's visit to the
Queen had no relation to the current
political rumors.
The Standard believes Gladstone's sight
is growing much worse and an operation
will soon be necessary.
Gladstone informed his colleagues that
his early retirement was inevitable, but
hoped it would be only temporary. He
told them he would resume the premier
ship should his eyes become strong
enough to warrant it.
The Times thinks denial of Gladstope's
actual resignation may be accepted with
out question by those unable to adopt the
Inference that the alarm in the radical
camp was altogether causeless, but IL can
hardly be doubted that a semi-official
denial signifies postponement of the
crisis. Lord Rosebery's leadership would
be more satisfactory to the country gen.
orally than that of any other Gladstonian.
