ing to request of the general manage
OF the Associated Press for advice anl
proof OF the important speech he is t

with greatest interest In political circles
here and on the continent, sent th,
following autograph letter: "Associst
ed Press, Hawarden, Sept. 23rd, 1896
81 can only SO far anticipate what MAJ
have to say in Liverpool tomorrow as Il
signify to you in this way, that shall 70
commend giving the warmest support
to the Queens government, together
with the largest discretion, assuming
however that they will not include 10
their policy as proposed at this instant
a war with united. or manly United
Europe, but not at all excluding it from
their choice, should they End it to be
the only alternative open to them for
acting in sole responsibility for this
country for the fulfilment of the coven-
ants which have been disgracefully
broken. remain, dear sir, very faith
fully, WIN. E. GLADSTONE"
The radical ro-Armenian papers have
been anticipating q political uphssvsl
as the result Of the speech Gladstone is
to make today. It lie evident from his
letter that he proposes to uphold the
hands of the Marquis of Salisbury in
stead Of taking stand against him.
An enthusiastic crowd sssemb led
early this morning in the vicinity of
Hengler's Circus, anxious to hear Glad
stone. Gladstone stepped briskly on
the platform at 1890 p. NJ, and bowed
grsvely in acknowledgment to the
en- ueiastic welcome. The Earl of
Derby presided, and upon the platform
were many persons Of distinction. After
the usual formslities, the following
resolution proposed by the conservatives
and seconded by the liberals wss adopt
ed by exclamation: THAT this meeting
desires to express its indignation and
of the cruel treatment to
which Armenisns are being subjected
by Turkish rulers and Of the msssscres
which recently occurred in CONSTANT
nopls. which are a Disgrace to the
OF the nineteenth century;
that this meeting trusts Her Majsstyt
realizing to the fullest extent
. 10 IN vrhs Iii
fellow Christians are placed, aud will do
every thing possible to obtain for them
full security and protection, and this
assures Her Msjssty's ministers
that they may rely upon the cordisl
support of the citizens of Liverpool in
whatever step they may feel it necces-
ssry to take for that purpose" Mr..
Gladstone declared bis adhesion to the
principles contained IN the resolutions
He urged in this matter, that party
,ympatbies be renounced: II entertain
! lively hope and strong belief that the
present deplorable situation is not due |
20 an act or default Of the government
,f this great country"
"We have q just title to threaten
Turkey with coercion that does not in
tself mean war, and l think the first |
'tep should be to recall our Am bassador."
"And it should be followed
~ the Punishment of the Turkish
from London. Such q |
course would not give the right of COM
,laint to any body. When diplomatic |
'elstions are suspended England should
inform the Sultan and he would consider
he means of enforcing her just and |
,umans demands. I do not believe |
europe will make war to insure the |
OF msssacres more terrible
han were ever recorded in the dismal |
md deplorable history of human crime"
Gladstone spoke twenty minutes and
id not seem fatiRued.
