London. March l9.--There will be pub
lished this morning by John Murray. a
sixteen page pamphlet In the form of
letter from the Rt. Hon. w. Il. Glad
stone dated Cannes. March 10. to the Duke
of Westminster. 1t furnishes remarkable
evidences Of Mr.. Gladstones mental ac-
tivity and interest in the political aitua-
ton. The letter begins by saying;
my ambition is for rest and peace alone.

Tho letter reviews the events In the East
from the beginning OF tho Armenian mas
sacres aud unsparingly arraigns the pow
ers.
Referring to his attempt in 1880 to es-
tabish the concert Of Europe, Mr.. Glad
stone says:
I'VE soon discovered that for several Of
the powers to concert had a significance
totally at variance with that which we at
tached to 1t and demonstrations might be
made under the condition that they should
lot pass into reality. At present the pow
ers nave no common purposes to bring them
together. But what ~ worse than all this
prentended ard Intellectual cooperation the
governments shut out the people. II is
from omission that we are now suffering.
1T is time to speak with freedom.

under the government of two young men

was given to the world. These, 80 far, as
| their sentiments are known. are using their
| power in concert to fight steadily against
| freedom. Why are we to have our gov
eminent pinned to their aprons? On the
| heels of this concert We have pledged for
\ two years and with all its prctenslons of
power 1t has made worse. and has not bet

MIR. Sanger Wlthdra.vs.

Editor T. =. A. Column. Houston. Texas.
Waco. Texas. March 16.--Dear Sir: In
your issue OF Sunday. March IA, read with
no little pleasure the high compliment paid
me by my friend, Charles X. wiel, presi-
dent Of Post II. In his letter regarding my
candidacy for reelection to the office Of
president Of the Texas division of the rrav-
elers' Protective Association OF America
for the ensuing year.
regret very much that at present ] ain
so situated that 1t Will be impossible for
me to submit my name for reelection to
the Office in question at the annual con-
vention Of the Travellers Protective Asso-
citation Of America, Texas division. to DO
held IN your city on the 10th proNimo,
and. besides, were l so disposed, l think
1t would be Ill becoming on my part to
set precedent so contrary to the hereto
fore existing ideas OF this division. 1t has
been clearly demonstrated at our various
annual conventions that II is the wish OF
tho members of this division that the
president occupy the chair only one term.
and ] am In hearty accord with this ac-
| ton. i think the success of this division IL
| largely due to the fact that no one prcsi-
| dent has been allowed to serve moro than
one term, and that no particular post has
had the honor for more than one term.
| thereby disseminating the interest N the
association from year to year throughout
the different posts OF the State. The fact
perhaps exists that l did not receive the
honor as directly as my predecessors, still
that is my misfortune, and the interests OF
the division should not be made to suffer
| on that account.
| l am pleased to note from your columns
and from various other sources tho deep
interest evinced by the members of our
division In the coming annual convention
and election. and hope this interest will
be the cause of large attendance to the
convention In your city next month.
Thanking Mr.. Wiel for his kind and COM
plimentary letter. am yours very truly.
