when he rose all heads were barred.
Mr.. Balfour's speech was remarkably
eloquent and displayed great taste, while
Sir William Vernon Harcourts enconiums
of his dead leader were delivered In a most
glowing style.
MIR. Dillon was in his most oratorical
style, and when he described how Mr..
GIadstoues sympathies were unboun1ed
by nationality and embraced the oppress-
ed of all races the irish benches res
ponded with murmurs of assent.
The address to tine queen in regard 10
the intermeut of the remains of Mr..
Gladstone in Westminster Abbey was
adopted.
In the House Of Lords, there was a full
spoke feelingly of Mr.. Gladstone. who, he
said. twas ever guided in all his efforts
by lofty moral ideal"
The Earl OF Kimberley, the Liberal
leader. followed with touching tribute
and the Duke of Devonshire expressed
generous appreciation of Mr.. Gladstone's
services, in behalf of the Liberal Union
lists.
The Earl OF Rosebery delivered an elo-
quent panegyric of the deceased states
men.
1t is now virtually decided that Nj.
Gladstones remains shall be Inferred in
Westminster Abbey.
The Associated Press learns. that the
family does not oppose the nations de-
sire and that the only direction left was
that he snould be buried al Hawardqn un-
less there should be an unmistakable ma
tional wish for an interment at the aD
hey.
Telegrams continue 20 arrive in great
numbers at Hawarden Castle from al
parts OF the world
Mrs. Gladstone is as well as can be ex-
pected.
