HEALTH OF GLADSTONE
BAD ENOUGH TO ExoTTE VERY
SERIOUS ANXIETY
The Aged Statesman, Fully Aware
That His End Is Approaching,
Bids Farewell to Friends

. LONDON, March 26.-Next to the
probability of wars the public is most
keenly interested in the condition Of
Mr.. Gladstone, though not permitted to
know how i'll he is. Perhaps it should
be said he is not so much i'll as that his
powers are falling and that. he Is ap-
parently sinking under the weight of
years and vital exhaustion. The best
informed people admit that his ailment
is incurable and that his physicians only
hope to alleviate the pain he is suffer-
ing. The Lancet says on the subject of
the surgical advice called in: This can
scarcely be interpreted otherwise than
that there is serious cause for the symp-
toms from which he has suffered for nine
months. At his great age the gravity
of any surgical ailment is apparent and
the exhaustion in consequence Is pro-
longed. The severe neuralgia is in it.
seif an unfavorable feature. His vital
ity, however, is wonderful and his gen.
eral health Is good.
An examination of the patient with the
use of Roentgen rays disclosed inflamed
cartilage, but there was no sign of cam
Ger.
ly kept from Mr.. Gladstone, it Is said
he has bid farewell to several friends and
knows his end is approaching. Refer
ring to his illness Mr.. Gladstone said to
friend: "a final lesson-a final trial."
The old statesman has been sensibly
happier at Hawarden than at the Riv-
iera or Bournemouth.
A painful incident Of Gladstone's ILL
ness has been his bombardment by unin-
vited spiritual advisers. Not single
mail reaches his residence without con-
tanning a shower Of chapters of the
"Old or New Testaments, extracts from
the lives of scriptural personages, or iso-
lated texts, hymns, poems, etc"
GROWING WEAKER
LONDON, March 26.-Elaborate pre-
parations have been made to keep any
information from reaching the press con-
cerning Mr.. Gladstone, but it is learned
that his condition today is more critical.

UNDER WATER
The Holland Gives Promise of Proving
Useful

NEW YORK. March 26-The submarine
boat Holland was given another trial to-
day. She left her pier at the Raritan dry
docks here shortly after noon and, accom-
panied by the tug Sallie P. Linderman.
proceeded toward Tottenville. Mr.. Hol-
land was in charge of the new craft. After
running a short time on the surface, the
vessel was submerged, bow first, until all
that was above the surface was the flag
poles. The vessel came up, bow first, show
ing that she had been turned under water,
and was perfectly under the control of the
inventor. This performance was repeated
several times. 1t was only by the aid of
the flag poles that officials of the Holland
Company on the tug Linderman were able
to follow her. She remained in the sound
over two hours, and her trial was success
full in every particular.

tinued day and night.

Colwell at the Schichau yards, where she
was built for Germany.
Lieutenant Knapp leaves for Schichau
tonight. The crew will be supplied from
the San Francisco.
The torpedo boat is of about 165 tons
and of the first class German type, with
a single propeller. Germany permitted
the sale as the boat is one knot slower
than wanted for the German Navy. She
is larger than the Gushing and approx
mates closel ythe Ericsson. The boat Is
doing her sea trials today and will sail
