GLADSTONE RESIGNS.

The Grand Old Man Finally Lays Down the Cares of OHice-Hls Plans for the Flu ture.
 LONDON, March 5. 5.-William Ewart Gladstone has retired from the pre-
 miership of Great Britain for the last time and Lord Rosebery has been sum-
 moned to Windsor castle by Sir Henry
 Ponsonby, Queen Victoria's private sec
 retary. to take up the reins of govern
 ment laid down by the great com moner.
 Mir. Gladstone will spend his last
 days as commoner of England. He refused yesterday, as he has done sev- eral times before, the offer of the queen
 of elevation to the peerage. Official announcement of the retire ment of the grand old man from active
 public life has not yet been made, but
 the fact that Lord Rosebery was sum- moned by Sir Henry Ponsonby at 4 o'clock Saturday makes it positive
 that the venerable leader has laid down his work forever. Official an ] nouncement is not expected before
 to-day. EMzu It is said that when Mir. Gladstone
 rendered his resignation formally to
 the queen Saturday the scene was very pathetic. He explained his physical
 incapacity to continue his public work
 longer and the queen replied in feeling
 terms She urged the venerable states.
 man to accept peerage, but he firmly
 declined.
 After Mir. and Mrs. Gladstone and the cabinet ministers had left Windsor
 it became known that the queen had
 sent her private secretary, Rt Hon.
 Sir Henry Ponsonby, to London, sum-
 moning Lord Rosebery to Windsor castle

KANSAS WHEAT.
Reports as to the Growing Crop of a Mos
 Encouraging Character.

Reports as to the Growing Crop of Q Most
 Encouraging Character.
 TOPEKA, Kan, March 5-The reports that come to the agri cultural depart ment and to the various railroad head quarters in Topeka relative to the growing crop of wheat throughout the state are all of the most encouraging character. The scattering reports from the central and western wheat belts of the state to Secretary Coburn, of the agricultural board, are especially flat tering, and show that the wheat plant has been greatly refreshed by the re- cent snows and rains.
 This winter has been exceedingly fa- vorable for the wheat, and nowhere in the state has it been seriously injured by freezing, as is often the case in western Kansas. Of course, there is a chance that ho: winds and dry weather may greatly shorten the crop, but those who have watched the seasons in Kansas predict that this year will be record breaker in the matter of 8 wheat crop in this state, and believe the total yield will not fail far sho r, of 100, GOO, coo bushels.
 Most of the wheat crop was put ir early last fall, and the growth is well advanced now. In many places il stands six inches high, but this is the exception rather than the rule. In the extreme southern part of the state har- vesting will begin the latter part of May, and by the 10th of July the crop will begin to move to the eastern mar ket From that time on the railroads expect to have all the freight business they can do.
 The fine weather during the past week has started the blows in many fields in Kansas. In southern Kansas the farmers are two weeks ahead ir this work and will be ready for corr planting by the 18th of this month.
