issued to him. lie desires above every
thing. however. to have the work which he
has been commissioned TO undertake sue
cessful. In the few davs that have passed
since he was named by tie President 20
be commander OF the expedition and Mil
tary Governor of the islands he las learned
many things about the Philippines that ho
did not know before. From what he has
learned in this brief period he has become
convinced that it will be almost absurd to
undertake the occupation OF the islands
and set up 4 provisional Government with
force Of II, 900 men. all but 1000 Of whom
are unseaSoned mlitiamen, totally unac.
customed to concerted action, when that
action is carried on in numbers larger than
separate companies or regiments.
General Merrtt's orders so far are simply
to proceed to Manila with his three aides
and staff selected for him by the Secre-
tary OF War, after he has seen to it that the
expedition is properly constituted and
equipped. Although he is supposed to ar
range these latter details, his understand
ing is that the Government intends to send
force of 15, 600 men, 1i,O00 OF whom are
members Of the National Guard Of the far
Western States.'
The Spanish army in the Philippines is
estimated at %, 900 regulars and about 40 600
volunteers.

riage. From his study came long success
sion Of books and pamphlets. While Mr..
Gladstone grew more liberal in his views OF
the Church and its relations to the State
rs his mind expanded, lie c!ung with true
Scottish tenacity to the original and vital
doctrines OF Christianity, and within the
last few years he joined vigorously in the
defence OF revealed religion against the
ever increasing and even more threatening
attacks of agnosticism and materialism.
This singular ability for varied and eX-
cellent work was the marked characters
tic OF Mr.. Gladstone. That age did not
diminish his powers was due to the ease
with which he ordered his life. Lord Bea-
conslleld once said Of him that he chad not
n single redeeming vice." He was never
sick, except with a cold or some form OF
physical exhaustion that rest would cure.
He slept eleven hours every night, no matter
how heavily affairs Of State weighed. He
ate sparingly and drank with great modera-
tion. His passion for tree telling IS known
to all the world. 1t was his only physical
exercise except walking, OF which he was
also fond. He cared little for the tradi-
tional sports Of the English gentleman.
Shooting he might we'll have been preju-
diced against, for, going out with party
at his uncle's when he was in his thirties,
he had the misfortune to lose the index fin
ger OF his left hand by the explosion Of his
gun.
He married July 25, 1889, the eldest
daughter OF Sir Stephen Richard Glynne.
Hawarden was the ancestral home OF the
Glvnnes, and, when his father-in-law be-
came pecuniarily embarrassed, he bought
it instead Of building in Scotland, as he had
intended. It has been said that Mr.. Glad
stone owed much Of his development from
narrow Toryism to broad Liberalism
to his wifc's quiet, steady influence.
They had eight children, seven OF whom
survive. Two are members Of Parliament,
Herbert, the younger OF the two, in
heriting something Of his fathers ability.
One son, Stephen, Is rector ut the church ut
Hawarden. One daughter is married TO the
head master Of Wellington College and two
are at home. Mr.. Gladstone was full OF the
lighter charms of conversation and fond
of music. He himself was singer IN his
earlier days and the writer's used to tell OF
Gladstone at home after great debate
seated at the piano singing Scotch ballads
to his own accompaniment.
He was OF medium height, but his figure
was commanding In age his shoulders
were slightly rounded. In early life lie
had let black hair in abundance. His head
had given London hatters some trouble, y
as he once remarked. 1t was largo and
founded upon imposing lines. Before
he was known in politics Disraeli saw
him at dinner one day and was so struck
with the appearance OF his face that he in
Uuired who the young man was and held
his face and name in memory. He hud
piercing eyes, n bold nose, firm lips and q
suuare jaw. His expression was earnest
and stern, yet kindly.

WAR TRAGEDY IN ALABAMA.
John Lee Kills Three Men Who Taunted
Him With Cowardice.

A tragedy was enacted in James Nit
chelrs corner grocery at Birmingham, Ala.
A group OF young men who were good
companions were talking ebout the Spanish
war. John Lee was one Of the most enthu-
slastic, and said that he could whip dozen
Spaniards.
The statement was received with derision
by Lees friends, several of whom charged
him with cowardice and also alleged that a
small-sized policeman, well known on the
beat had n few days before scared Lee
nearly to death. Lee finally became eXas-
perated beyond bounds, and, drawing his
pistol, fired six shots into the crowd, whose
members sought shelter in hurry
When the smoke cleared away Lee was
gone, but on the floor lay the dead bodies
of Sam Johnson, Peter Abernathy aud
Thomas Warren, while Sam McSpadden
was welterinG in a pool OF blood, with
fatal wound in his neck.

HAwARDES. England (By Cablel.-Will-
lam Ewart Gladstone, the Grand Old Man
Of England. died at five o'clock Thursday
morning at his home in this village. Death
came very peacefully. All the members Of
his immediate family were at the bedside.
He had been unconscious practically all
day. though at times he seemed to recog-
nize for moment some OF the watchers
about him. Certainly he did recognize his
wife, who was beside him all day except
when the physician prevailed upon her to
rest. She tenderly clasped her husbands
hand rs she watched him.
Apparently he slept good deal and oc-
casionallv he uttered few words in an
incoherent, dreamy way, words which
those who We're watching were unable to
catch. Their only consolation was that he
was not suffering pain. No narcotics were
administered.
All night long weary vigil was main
tanned. The whole family was in and out
of the sickroom. Mrs. Gladstone remained
throughout the night at the bedside OF her
dying husband. she could not be induced
to leave him even to take refreshments.
The scene at about 4 o'clock Thursday
morning, when it was supposed Mr.. Glad
stones last hour had come, was most pain
ful. But he again showed his almost
superhuman vitality, fought death away
