GLADSTONE MAY RESIGN.
a London Paper Hears That He Is to
Quit Office Immediately.


London, Jan. 31.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says to-day under a spread head and
loaded lines: "We have reason to know
from authority that we are unable to dis
close, bnt in which we have every conf
dence, that Premier Gladstone has de-
cided to resign almost Immediately"
Rumors were current at the stock ex-
change to-day that Premier Gladstone
had quarrelled with Lord Rosebery over
the question of the governments Egypt
ian policy, but denial of these reports
was given at the foreign Office.
The members of the National Liberal
Club treat with derision the rumor that
the prime minister intends to resign.
Most of the ministers are spending the
recess out of town, and this fact renders
the reports of a cabinet crisis highly i'm
probable.
STATEMENT FROM THE PREMIER.
Premier Gladstone authorized Sir AL
gernon West, who is his companion at
Biraitz, to send out this evening the state
ment that follows: THE statement that
Mr.. Gladstone has definitely decided or
decided at all, to resign, is untrue. 1t is
true, however, that for many months
past his age and the condition of his sight
and hearing have, in his judg-
ment, made relief from public affairs
advisable Therefore his tenure of office
has been at any moment liable to inter-
ruption from these causes, which are in
their nature permanent. 1t remains ex-
actly as it has been. He is ignorant of
the course which events important to the
nation, may take even during the re-
mainder of the present session of parlia-
ment, and he has not said nor done any
thing which could in any degree restrain
his absolute freedom, or that of his col
leagues, regarding the performance of the
arduous duties now lying or likely to lie
before them"
LIBERALS DISAPPOINTED.
The liberals in London were disap-
pointed by the statement sent out by Sir
Algernon West, as they all had hoped for
plain, unequivocal denial Neverthe-
less, the party managers are convinced
that nothing warrants the assumption
that Mr.. Gladstone will retire soon from
public life
The Central News says that the Irish
members of the House of Commons are
seriously concerned and the leaders deem
it their duty under certain conditions to
force the situation.
Campbell Bannerman, secretary of
state for war, was expected to make some
open statement concerning Mr..
Gladstone's intention when he ad-
dressed a liberal meeting in Dunferm-
line this evening. His only
reference to the subject, however, was a
remark about the ''uuexampled indecency
of the opposition, who reckoned upon
breaking down the health and powers OF
the prime minister and driving him to
retirement" Their reckoning, he added
would prove vain.
Arthur j. Balfour, leader of the union.
isUs, in speaking in Manchester this even
ing, emphasized the necessity of immedi
ate organization, as, he said, the general
election would soon be held. The Duke
of Norfolk also in addressing a meeting
at Dorking, referred to the approaching
election and urged his hearers to make
their final preparations for the appeal to
the country

A NEW ASSISTANT BISHOP.
Rev. T. B. Newton Elected as Aid to
Bishop Whipple.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 31.-The special
council of this Episcopal diocese, called
to consider the question of electing an
assistant bishop of the diocese, Bishop
Whipple's health having been feeble for
several years, convened in st. Paul's
church here to-day.
All parts of the diocese were well
represented, and the sentiment in favor of
an assistant bishop was practically
unanimous. Bishop Whipple presided,
and read paper telling about his physi-
cal infirmities, and giving the reason why
it was deemed best to have another
bishop to share his duties.
Six or eight names were presented, and
on the fourth ballot by the clergy Rev T..
B. Newton, D. D., for years past rector of
the Monumental church in Richmond, re-
ceived the number Of votes necessary to
nominate The laity readily confirmed
the nomination, and DR.. Newton's certifi-
cate ofIelection as assistant bishop of the
diocese of Virginia was signed by the
hundred or more delegates
Rev DIR. Lewis w. Burton, Of Louis
vile, KY, formerly old St. Johns church,
this city, was a close second in the race,
and received fifteen votes on the final
ballot.
Resolutions of sympathy with Bishop
Whipple, in view of his poor health, were
adopted.

me memphis Appeal-AValanohe In
a Bad Financial Fix.
Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 31-The litiga-
tion lover the Memphis Appeal-Ava-
lanche took sensational turn yesterday.
w. A. Collier, the president of the COM
pany filed bill in chancery in the United
States court attacking the assignment as
illegal and void. and charging
A. d. Gwynne, r. u. Morgan, and w J.
Chase, receiver, with conspiracy and
fraud. MIR. Collier charges that the men
who made the assignment were neither
stockholders nor directors Of the Appeal
Company, and that they have no standing
in court. The case went over to Thurs
day, when argument will be resumed.
There are twenty lawyers in the case
representing the different factions, and it
will be a hotly contested battle
The report of the receiver, submitted
yesterday, showed that the paper has
lost $4,000 in the past three months. The

what use is to be made of the money:
and take it that that cannot be inquired
into until after the money is secured by
the sale of the bonds. The power to issue
bonds is ample, specific, unquestioned
and clear. Thereafter somebody should
raise the question as ito the use TO be
made Of the money, it may then be con-
sidered.
Mr.. Daniel-I suppose there is no i'm
propriety in making an inquiry of the
head of the finance committed
Mr.. Voorhees-Certainly not; l say
here today, with what small reputation

of the country will hold that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has absolute and un-
qualified power to issue the bonds.

MIR. Daniel-U Unlimited by the purpose
defined in the lawl
MIR. Voorhees-Unlimited by that pur-
pose There is no purpose proclaimed.
Mr. Daniel-Has the Secretary of the
Treasury the right TO issue bonds with
out entertaining the purpose to use them
solely in the line of the lawl
Mr. Voorhees, the
senator from Virginia finds that
the Secretary of the Treasury is
going to use this money contrary to his
view their will be time for him to go to
the courts and restrain him. / hold,

money anyway that seems to him proper
and conducive to the general purpose of

MIR. Hawley, rep, of Connecticut, closed
the days discussion with an impassioned
arraignment of the Democratic party for

tervention in the political affairs of the

ference by the United States. The debate
promises TO be interesting.
