Rumors About Gladstone.

l-ONDONt II en-. So-l budb 4hi'
Gladstone had resigned the premiership
is officially denied.
LONDON, Feb. 2s.-The Edinburg Even
ing News says, unqualitiedly that Mr..
Gladstone has resigned and that his
resignation will go into effect at Easter.
The paper says that the premiership was
offered to Lord Rosebery, but he declined
it. The position was then offered to Earl
Spencer and he accepted it.
Inquiries made by representatives of the
United Press tend to confirm the report
that Mr. Gladstone's $ resignation is inevi-
table within few weeks. Since Mr.
Gladstone's return from Biarritz the cat
aract which has been forming in his eye
has ripened East, and DIR. Bend, DR.. Grain
ger and other physicians whom he has
consulted consider an early operation adj
visible. The treatment will necessarily
involve seclusion in a darkened room for
long time, probably three months, with
complete cessation of all work attended
| by brain strain or worry
Mr.. Gladstone's colleagues wish him to
postpone his resignation of the premier
snip until the latest possible moment,
| and keep a sinecure seat IN the cabinet
such as taking the office of lord privy
seal. Liberals are divided in opinion as

| will be temporary or permanent. Mr.
Gladstone himself freely tells his frieuds
that his hearing is going with his eye
sight. His health otherwise, however,
is still vigorous.
The Daily News denies that Mr.. Glad
stone has resigned. In discussing TIE
possibility of his infrmity compeil.ns Mr..
Gladstone to retire event which it
hopes is far distant--the news says there
is no doubt that Lord Rjsebery wi. sue
ceed to the premiership and that Sir
William Harcourt will become leader OF
the house of commons.

Kaserhof on Wednesday evening.
As was expected, several versions of the
emperor's speech at the Brandenburg
banquet Saturday evening have become
current. The Reichsanzeiger has been
ordered therefore to print an official re-
port of his majesty's words. Whether
tl4:s report will contain another allusion
to the divine right of Prussian kings is
not yet known. There is concurrence
of testimony, however, that the emperor
said he had been placed by God at
the post of emperor and king and held
himself responsible to God alone for what
ever he did. This sole responsibility to
the Almighty, the emperor is said to have
declared, was always borne in mind by
him.
