Iapansse WarShip.

Lieutenant UyenO Of the Imperial
Japanese Navy, makes a suggestion in
a recent number Of the Taiyo, Of Yoke
hama. on the advisa bility of Dispatch
ing japanese warships to Europe and
America. The lieutenantS suggestion
is that six warships should be station
ed in Europe, two in America, one at
Honolulu, Hawaii, and two in Austria
liza The lieutenant estimates that, &C
cording to the ordinary rate of allow
ance. outlay incidental to the carrying
out Of the proposed scheme amounts to
about 500, 000 yen q year. But allow
ances to officers and seamen must nee
essarily be increased in the event OF
their being dispatched abroad. Calcu-
lating on past experiences. the gallant
officer puts this additional outlay at
$4,000 yen approximately. The two
items total q little over 100000 yen, ex-
elusive OF coal and other requirements
for navigation. AS these necessary ar
ticIeS Of consumption will not involve
any greater expenses abroad than in
home waters, the cost Of stationing
eleven Warships abroad may practical
iy be estimated at about 100000 yen.
The lieutenant points out the benefits
Immediate and prospective, accruing
from the carrying out Of this scheme.

At vespers, Rev. Alex Macintosh,

Philippians, IV:5. Here is the sign OF
our attachment to religion. For moder-
alton is the garment we must wear to
serve the Lord. st. Paul was in bonds
when ne wrote these blessed words,
but ne knew full we'll that he, who
would be ready for the Masters COM
ing, must in every word and deed be
zionist, but to the whole world. Trials
and tribulations bring out the true
Christian character. If brother hate
us why should we hate him? We must
sin and error Every churchman who
in the coming week sings Peace, good
will to men," must exercise in every act
the solemn advice Of st. Paul summed
up IN the word moderation. This
must be apparent. Our charity must
enlarge and it is our duty to make ev-
cry man a neighbor. We should show
our charity TO all and exercise oursel-
yes in both temporal and spiritual
things before all men and then We shall
be ready when the Lord is at hand.

Life and Property Lost by Tornado in
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Storms Of wind, hail and rain ravaged
widespread sections Of the Northwest. In
Eastern Iowa cyclones brought death and
disaster to scattered communities, and in
Illinois, Wisconsin and in Southern Kan
sas cyclones and high winds leveled frame
buildings, killed some stock and damaged
crops. In all the afflicted sections wires
were blown down and early details of the
disaster were meager. Almost all the vast
territory mentioned was rain soaked and
wind blown. The cyclones moved the
usual narrow paths Of from eighty rods
to eighty feet in width, and swept for a
distance of twenty miles or less.
The cyclone passed north Of Clinton,
Iowa, between the towns Of Charlotte
and Riggs, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
doing an immense amount Of damage and
killing ten people, as far as reported. The
storm, after leaving Upton, passed be-
tween Clarence and Stanwood, swept
south through Lost Nation and Elwood,
running north near Delmar, touched the
lower end of Jackson County, and, cross
ing the Mississippi at South Sabula, Iowa,
struck Illinois between Savanna and
Thompson. Trees were uprooted and
buildings wiped out. The storm passed
two miles southeast Of Riggs, on the Mil
waukee Railway, and ruined everything
in its path from southwest to northeast.
In the vicinity of Cedar Rapids the cy-
clone first appeared one mile south OF
Stanwood at 3:20 o'clock in the afternoon.
Great damage was done to property in
the vicinity of Upton, Charlotte, Quig'
ley, Clarence, Elk River, north of Wheat
land, and zeal Maquoketa. 1t is est
mated that not less than twenty-five PEG.
pie have been killed, while the number OF
injured will not be less than fifty. Many
saved their lives by fleeing to cellars.
The cyclone which struck Preston,
Iowa, destroyed most Of the buildings in
the town and killed Charles Floy, his
wife and three children: The bodies q
two of the children have not been found,
In Ringgold County, southwest Of Des
Moines, the buildings Of j. A. Miller, east
Of Blockton, were swept away, and Miller
and his daughter were injured. The lat.
ter had both legs broken. At Maloy the
schoolhouse and Chicago Great Western
depot were wrecked.
Two cyclones from southwest struck
the village of Stillman Valley, ILL.,, the
larger going north, doing but little dam
age. The smaller one struck the south
west side, passing across the town, level
ing ten houses, one church and several
barns and damaging a dozen houses, one
church, a creamery and the Great West
ern depot. NJ. Nelson, his wife and two
children, and one johnson are reported
killed, and about twenty persons are
more or less injured, none fatally.

swept through the city and blew down

Jams has been holding revival meetings.

England and humanity.
OF a lineage remarkable only for its
rugged honesty and unQuestioning de-
Totion to the sovereign power, the son of
a successful East India merchant who
had earned a baronetcy by his achieve
ments in commerce, he seemed predestin-
ed upon his entrance into public life to
become the representative statesman Of
the middle classes. That he had come to
them with hands full of promise was evil
dent from the beginning of his career.

G~ladstone's commercial treaty with the

him the hearts of the mercantile classes,
home and colonial. For over sixty years
Gladstone has been in public life. For the
greater part Of sixty years he has la
bored to turn England from her medieval
follies, superstitions and bigotries.
For the better part Of sixty years
this figure has stood amid the wavering
and cowardly policies of Europe, a stead

the nobility Of nan
Gladstoue's battles were not. alone for
British trade and British prosperity, but
for British manhood and British princi-
pies. Their influence has been felt to the
remotest corners of the globe. He gave
to modern political thought a width and
depth OF Eberality and a humane coloring
that win Mumine the hearts and the
minds OF his feIloWmeu.

GLADSTONE Is DEAD.
ENGLAND'S "GRAND OLD MAN
PASSES AWAY.
His Demise Had Been Long Expected,
Owing to His Years-and Suffering
Death Was Faced with Fortitude and
Welcomed as a Friend.
Nation Mourns Him.

William Ewart Gladstone, England's
greatest statesman Of this century, died
at Hawarden castle at 5 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
1t is a simple story, this record of the
closing hours of a life which, more than
any other, perhaps, has Influenced the
lives Of his fellow c%ountrymen during
two generations. The pain, which, though
intermittent, was most cruelty severe for
the last nine months, had gradually sub
sided for three or four weeks past. This
was due, not so much to the use Of NOR
phine, which was employed more or less
siuce January, as to the fact that the
nerves themselves had mercifully ex-
hausted their capacity for suffering.
Drugs were used sparingly during the
last ten days, the result being that Mr..
Gladstone was conscious and clear in
mind, except for brief spells Of delirium,
due chiefly to weakness.
Gladstone we'll knew on Tuesday that
his hour had come, and plainly the
thought brought him sweet content. He
was conscious most Of the time, but al
most beyond the power of speech or mo-
ton. His great mind was still active. and

still versatile. He surprised the watch
ers at midday by murmuring a prayer in
the French language, with which he was
perfectly familiar, but seldom used in the
ordinary affairs Of life. His vital force
continued to diminish, and during the af-
ternoon his pulse became almost imper-
ceptible. His breathing was but of the
faintest, and his extremities became cold
through the feeble action of the heart,
yet there was a slight rally about sun

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The naval authorities have learned to their dis may that it is not possible for one of our big battleships like the Oregon or Massachusetts to get out of New York harbor during extra low water, such as prevailed when the latter battleship struck on Diamond Reef a short time ago. To aid the court of inquiry now in session at New York trying to as- certain the responsibility for the ground ing, the Navy Department called upon the coast survey for special measure ments of the water in the harbor near Diamond Reef and upon the rock itself. The report of the superintendent of the survey has just been received and it shows. in the opinion of the naval off, cers, that 1t is not possible for a ship of the size of the Massachusetts. ano With her maneuvering qualities, to get out of the harbor without touching the bottom when the tide is ebb and the wind strong. The ship must pass on the Brooklyn shore off Coenties Reef, and then cross over to the channel be- tween Diamond Reef and the New York shore.
 The turn is too short for the Massa- chusetts to make and the best water to be found in the best course she could pick on the day she touched was one foot and four inches less than the draft of the ship as she started, namely, 26 feet inches. Of course, these conditions are not normal in the harbor, but they may occur on any low tide with the wind in a certain quarter, so the matter will be brought at once to the attention of Congress with a view of securing the removal of the upper part of Dia- mond Reef
 NEW YORK, Dec. 22-The examination of the battle-ship Massachusetts to-day disclosed three large dents in the port side of the vessel forward. One of the officials told a reporter that the injuries were much more serious than had been anticipated
 From hole in the bottom of the ship several long splinters of wood were taken. This is thought at the navy-yard to indi- cate that the ship struck the wreck of a barge which sank off Governors Island several years ago and which at extremeIy low water has been a menace to naviga- tion ever since.
