tude when all was over. Yesterday
morning and last evening the Rev. Ste
phen Gladstone read prayers and
hymns in the dying mans room and
chanted Mr.. Gladstone's favorite,
Rock of Ages" When this was fin
ished Mr.. Gladstone was heard to
murmur "Our Father. This was yes
terday morning. Last evening he
made no response, but seemed to be
lost in deep slumber.
1t is difficult to place the date of the
beginning of the illness which has re-
suited in Mr.. Gladstone's death. 1t
may have been in 1894. 1t is thus gen.
orally placed.
During his stay at Biarritz, in Feb
ruary, 1894, a London journal an
nounced Mr.. Gladstones retirement,
but the report was contradicted in very
guarded terms After his return to
England the rumor was renewed, and
in the midst of the uncertainty Mr..
Gladstone delivered his last speech as
prime minister in the house of com
mons on March /, the occasion being
the lords amendments to the parish
councils bill.
The next day his resignation was
made public, and the discovery that
lIt pitIllcI was Suilti ilS IL oli "a lei-
ract in both eyes was given as the
chief cause for such a decisive step.
On March Mr.. Gladstone, in an aud
ience with the queen, gave up the
seals of office. A successful operation
was performed two months later, by
which the cataract was removed, and
Mr.. Gladstone recovered wonderfully
during the ensuing summer. After a
visit to Cannes, in the early part Of
1895, the octogenarian statesman made
stirring speech on the Armenian
question at Chester in August. His
long connection with the house of com :
mons terminated that year, as he cid
not seek reelection at the general cleo
tiOn which took place at that time.
Since that period Mr.. Gladstone rare
ly took any part in public affairs, but
made some exceptions when he inter
ested himself in favor of the Arme-
mans. While at Cannes, in March,
1897, he wrote and published a letter
to the Duke of Westminster pleading
the cause Of Crete and Greece as
against Turkey. A stained-glass win
dow was unveiled in HaWarden
church in recognition Of Mr.. Glad
stones efforts in behalf Of the op-
pressed A;menians, and Mrs. Glad
stone was presented with a portrait of
his holiness Mighriditch L., suprem =
patriarch of the Armenians.

steamer Rodriguez.
1t is repored that the governor gen.
eral of Porto Rico has issued a procla-
nation sawinge eight soldiers wers
killed and 81 wounded as a result of the
bombardment of the forts at San Juan
by a portion of Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet on May II. He adds that
two guns were dismounted at Moro
castle. which otherwise was little dam
aged. He says the other forts were
not much hurt. In the town one shot
penetrated the palace and the corner
of a powder house was carried away.
The Spanish transport Alfonso XIII
and the Spanish freight steamer Ma
nuela were damaged by the American
fire.
The Spaniards as usual claim they
won a victory, basing this assertion
upon the fact that the American war
ships departed under fire. But, the
refugees say, the city of San Juan is
still terroriZed, its inhabitants being in
hourly fear OF the temperance of the
American feet and a repetition of the
bombardment. Therefore people are
camping in the country, out of range
of the American guns.
The Spaniards claim that Freeman
Halstead, the newspaper correspondent
who was captured and sentenced to
nine years Imprisonment for photo
graphing the Notifications of San
Juan, was wounded by shot which
struck the town Jail. But the refugees
say he was probably shot by the Span
iards.
Many funerals have occurred re-

HAWARDEN, May 10. - William
Ewart Gladstone, the Grand Old Man
of England, is dead. His heart stopped
its pulsation at o'clock this morning,
just after sunrise. The members Of
his family were with him, waiting for
the last When the end came it was
scarcely perceptible.
Gladstone knew that his life was
coming to a close and for many hours
previous to the death he showed a re-
luctance at taking food. He saw no
need of prolonging a life which had
been spent. His attendants, however,
kept his lips moistened with spirits
and water. His strength was sus-
tained beyond all expectation in a
great measure by his extraordinary
constitution.
Mrs. Gladstone for many hours pre-

LONDON, September 5.--Ihe will Of
the late Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone
has been probated. 1t shows that has
personal estate is valued at the sum OF

Mir. Gladstone's will was written by
himself in an ordinary memorandum

words and is Il remarkable specimen Of
penmanship. The second clause Of
the will had reference to the funeral
arrangements, and said

COMMISSIONERS WILL SEE THEIR
CONSTITUENTS.
viii Not Meet Again in Washington
Until After the November Elections
Congressman Hit Candidate.

Honolulu people have probably lost
sight of the fact that the fall cleo
tions take place across the water on
November 5, but Congressman Hit
has not, neither have Senators Morgan
or Cullom.
For the tenth time since November
T. 1889, Robert Roberts Hit will ask
the people of his district to elect him
to Congress, and there is no doubt
that they will do it. His district is
the Ninth Illinois, comprising the
seven counties of Boone. Carroll. Joe
Davies, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson and
Winnebago, with total population
of 1875, ,4S6. As to Mr.. Hits personal
popularity the figures of the last
election show that he received 32,949
votes against 1924 for c. o. Knudson,
Democrat. and SIS for James Lamont.
Prohibitionist. 1t is safe to say that
his majority this year will be even
larger.
AS already stated the Commissioners
will leave here on the Gaelic Reach
ing San Francisco they will go direct
to their several homes to take more
or less part in the fall campaigns.
Senator Morgan will 90 to his
home in Selma. Alabama. He has no
need to look after his fences. as his
position as, Senator is a life one as
far as the people of Alabama are
concerned, but he likes to be in his
own state at election time where his
advice and counsel are always much
sought after. He may speak on two
or three occasions during the cam
paign, and very likely at Selma the
night before election.
Like his confere from the South,
Senator Cullom's term as United
States Senator does not expire until
March, 1901, but he is the more anX-
ious to get home, where he is regard
ed as a tower of strength in Republi-
can councils and where the elections
are closer than in Alabama. Senator
| Cullom will go direct to Springfield,
and take an active part in the man
agement of the campaign, speaking at
several prominent places and looking
out for the interests of his friend Bob
as he calls Congressman HIT.
| Mr.. Hits home for many years has
| been at Mount Morris. Ogle county
and he will go there at once from San
| Francisco, to become the leading splr.
| it in the campaign for his own re-elec-
| tion to Congress.
After leaving Honolulu, the Hawaii.

which time they will be met by Jus,

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Attorney General Smith was round
at his office today for a short time.
Though much shaken, with broken
arm and body covered with bruises,
he is all alive and as eager as lad
of twenty to get to work again. There
is no doubt about the attorney gener-
ais energy There is not a lazy bone
in his body, even though couple of
them may he cracked. The only
trouble is that the A. G.'s head is
swelled little. But this is physical,
not mental. He had to get a hat half
a size larger at Mclnerny's this morn
ing to replace the damaged tile. But
then who wouldn''t have swelled
head after knocking away two foot OF
brick from the corner of barn.

EXPERIENCE OF THE HAWAIIAN
BARK IOLANI.
Was Becalmed Near the Cape Verde
Islands Where a Spanish Fleet was
Supposed to BE.

Seventeen days in close proximity
to the Cape Verde Islands, on a Ha-
waiian bark. when the Spanish fleet
was supposed to be there, and without
a breath of wind with which to make
sail, was the experience of Captain
{. c. Mcclure of the lolani and his
crew on their last voyage from New
York.
The Iolani sailed from New York on
May 10th. At that time news had
been received of Dewey's victory. The
North Atlantic squadron was blockad-
ing the Spanish West Indies and the
Spanish fleet was supposed 10 be nc
the Cape Verde Islands. The political
situation was such that the Hawaiian
flag was considered by Spain as an
enemys flag.
Captain Mcclure figured that the
natural expectation would be that a
vessel bound around the Horn and
fearing the danger of capture would
keep as far to the westward as possi-
BILE Hence il would be far to the
westward Of the usual course that the
Spaniards would be looking for prizes
and not near the Cape Verde Islands.
He therefore determined ON the bold
course of sailing close to these Is
lands on the theory that the Spanish
would not be looking for possible pri-
zeS there.
But when he got within 500 miles
Of the Islands the wind failed. For
seventeen days he never caught a
breeze. but drifted nearer to where
the Spanish fleet was supposd to be.
He got within $50 miles of the Cape
Verde Islands before he caught a fair
wind
I'VE sweat blood during that time"
he says. never knowing at what time
a Spanish man of war would loom up
on the horizon. We had talked moth
ing but war until we got into the pre-
dcament and then we talked about
everything else but war until we got
round the Horn. Near the equator
we saw the smoke of a steamer. 1t
seemed to be going in the same direc-
tion we were for while. Then it
began to get closer. | never saw
merchant steamer in that region be-
/ fore, and we all figured that we were
/ in for it. But the smoke proved TO
/ be from big tramp steamer and we
were relieved. The first news we had
of the progress of events since sailing
1 from New York was when we saw the
American flag floating from Diamond

FOUR HUNDRED SOLDIERS SICK
IN CAMP.
An Epidemic of Disorders Due to the
Water-Red Cross Meeting Tomor-
row Afternoon-Nolunt Wanted.

There are 400 men sick at Camp Nc
Kinley and Capt Otis. They are not
ill enough to be sent to the hospital,
but are suffering from a sort of epi-
demic due, it is thought, to the wa
ter.
The Red Cross Society proposes to
erect two tents, one at each camp,
where tea, arrow root, beef tea and
similar appetizing and nourishing
dishes can be served for two or three
hours each morning until the good
health of the camps is restored.
The society wants volunteers for
their service; ladies who can give one
or more mornings i'm a week for this
work.
To arrange for carrying it on sys-
tematically and efficiently a meeting
has been called for $3.50 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon, Wednesday, at the Y.
NJ. c. \. Everybody who has Joined
the society and everybody who is in
terested in the work is invited to at
tend this meeting 1t is hoped that
all who possibly can will come. It is
hoped that all who can will volunteer
their services for the work proposed
to he done. It is services more partic-
ularlv than money that is needed.
It is not expected that it will be
necessary to carry on the work for
more than a week or two. But the
sooner it is commenced and the more
thoroughly conducted the nearer II
will come TO the ideal of the Red
Cross work.

REGATTA PRIZES.
We're Paid Today-Yacht Race Still
Undecided.

The first class yacht race of last
Saturday is not yet decided. The Re
gatta committee today paid over all
prizes and trophies except the one
for this event. They are awaiting a
decision in writing from the judges
before paying over the amount of the
prize.
The question of what was the time
allowance seems to be in doubt or at
least some of the contestants claim
their understanding of it was differ
ent from that of the other contestants.
There was quite an air of hustle
while the prizes were being paid off,
between ~ and / o'clock today. Some
of the Contestants in the amateur
events did not understand that prizes
in those events could not be paid in
money, and an Interpreter was re-
quired in some cases to make it clear,
In all these cases the committee gave
an order for a trophy or for goods to
the value of the prize offered.
