PREMIER GLADSTONE.
Latest Rumors in Relation to His Re-
tirement.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The EUeni3lg Ne1oS
of Edinburgh announces, on what it calls
reliable authority, that Gladstone has re-
signed as Premier, but will retain place
in the Cabinet and continue to represent
Midlothian. Though following many
contradicted rumors regarding the inten-
tions of the great statesman, this rumor
meets wide belief in well-informed cir
cles, and is causing the greatest excite
ment and a hurried exchange of tele-
grams between the leaders and intimate
advisers. That he has actually rendered
his resignation is not counted on so much
as that he is expected to take such action
within the present week. The reasons
assigned are that cataract is forming in
one eye, which must soon be operated on,
and the criticisms of Liberal papers on
him for not forcing the fight on the House
of Lords.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Caucus of Democratic Senator's to Dis
cuss the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The roll of
States was called in the Senate caucus to-
day. White of California, White of Ala
bama and German reserved their speeches
till tomorrow, when it is expected they
will close the general debate. The pro-
gramme then is that the bill will be gone
over by schedules, and the committee in
strucued by suggestion or votes of the
caucus as to what changes shall be made.
That was the understanding when the
caucus adjourned this evening, though it
may be upset and some new programme
sprung before closing the speeches.
The sentiment indicated disposition
to allow d revenue duty on raw sugar, but
nothing in the way OF discrimination or
protection for the refined article. There
was talk for coal and iron and for lead by
various Senators, but very little could be
shown as to how the Senators viewed
these matters.
The Eastern Senators opposed the in
come tax strenuOusly, but the impress
sion is that there will not even be de-
manded a vote on the proposition to
strike it out. The fight for coal is led by
the West Virginia Senators. White of
California is quite well satisfied with the
bill as prepared by the committee, the
fruit and wine schedules being as good as
Finance Committee feel that they can at
any time secure a majority of the caucus,
but they say they do not wish to report
harsh measures. 1t is their desire 10 pre-
sent bill which will be sure OF solid
party support and prevent the airing OF
party differences in open Senate. They
will not resort to this test Tor the present.

not satisfied, and gave him severe scor-
ing.
Again to-day Bland was unable to
muster a quorum on his motion to close
debate on the seigniorage bill, so he al
lowed the debate to run on without limit
After Cooper had finished his roast on
Pence, closing by reminder that as the
latter had large interests in the silver
mines, and, therefore, had direct pecunl-
airy interest in the pending legislation. he
should be careful how he attacked the
motives of other members, Cummings

and brought down a laugh by shouting:
''If is in order, l suggest that now Is an

his remarks with reference to the New
