lands Grand Old Man.
London, May ia letter written by
a member of Mr.. Gladstones family
says the patient has not left his room
for fortnight. 1t adds: 1T had been
hoped he might have some sense Of
enjoyment when the warm weather re-
turned and turned the whole earth into
a garden, but the truth is he has taken
leave of all portions of the earth. He
is possessed with sense of departure.
His body, mind and soul ask for no
food of any kind. His one desire is for
peace. He has longer times OF quiet
sleep or rest with closed eyes than
when the morphia treatment began:
but though he has considerable physi-
cal strength he is unable to listen to
anything but a short message of one
or two sentences. Even this is often
an effort. He has seen three or four
friends outside of the family. but no
conversation occurred, nothing but
farewell blessing for each of them.'

POWERS AFTER SPAIN.
Preparing to Urge That Country to Give
Up the Fight.

Washington, May 12.-Representa-
tives of the powers in Washington be-
lieve that the time has come for them
to compel Spain to sue for peace. Pre-
liminary suggestions for conference
have been set afoot and a formal move
ment may soon be made. The agents
of the powers distinctly disavow any
intention of interfering with the prog
ress of the plans of this country, but
they make no secret of their intention
to say to Spain that the time has come
for her to surrender.
knowledge of the plans OF the pow
ers is probably the reason why both
army and navy are straining their ut
most to carry out cherished hopes be-
fore Spain is compelled to sue humbly
for peace. If the battleships are to get
any glory out of the war they must
get 1t soon, and the same is true of the
army.

Toward the East.
London, May 12.-Spain's reported
project of a relief expedition to the
Philippines is treated by military and
naval experts here as mere bluff. In
the first place 1t is considered that the
Spanish government needs all the
troops 1t can muster to maintain its
dynasty at home. Secondly, the re-
serve squadron cannot possibly be
ready for a month. Thirdly, there
would be the insuperable coaling diff

OF the war. were mentioned to the Presl-
dents credit, and each mention OF the
Presidents name aroused the crowd to
enthusiasm. General Grusvenor grew
eloquent in speaking of the achievements
OF Dewey, Sampson, Schley and Shafter,
paying the latter a glowing tribute, In
deed
General Grosvenor's peroration was
very effective. He pointed out where
Republican legislators had tried at diff
ferent times to strengthen all depart
ments Of the army, the hospital corps,
the surgeon generals department, ETC.,
but this LEGISLATION had invariably been
strangled by Democrats. The speaker
denied ever having said that II was a
Republican war. But; argued he, II 1t
were true that the Democrats brought on
the war, furnished four-fifths OF the
army-lf It were true that they brought
on the war and fought It, then why are
they finding fault with 1t? They are
willing to take its glory, but not any
odlum. And IL they fought the war,
what are they complaining about? The
speaker concluded by asking Belmont
county to give Captain Danford an in-
creased majority. for the President need
ed such able assistance In the vital ques-
lions to be dealt with in the near future.
General Grusvenor's close was slgnalled
by tumultous applause.
CAPTAIN DANFoRD SPEAKS.
Congressman Danford was fatteringly
received. He spoke briefly, but as he
always does. to the point. BE alluded TO
the conference Of Senators Allen, Teller,
Ex-Governor Altgeld and few others,
representing the combined opposition to
the Republican party. This conference
agreed on only one thlng-the 16 to
theory, and "Coin" Harvey was made
manager Of the campaign; so that the
American people may expect that free
silver legislation will be pushed to the
front should the Republican party be de-
feated. The yellow journals had inter-
fered with the workings OF the Paris
peace commission, by giving false re-
ports to the Spanish, and likewise 1t was
Imperative that the President be SUP
ported by a strong backing in the Ques-
tlons OF vital import to be dealt with
by the next Congress, for as the yellow
/ Journals interfered with the peace COM
mission so would a Congress opposed to
the President stay his hand.
The questions dealing with Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines should not be
handed over to an adverse Congress.
There were other questions aside from
Inc economic questions. The people
may rest assured that so long as the adj
ministration OF President Mckinley con-
,fInues there will be No Interference with
tarlff laws, but behind their votes In No
yember is legislation Affecting those is
lands on which the foot of the American
soldier has landed. Captain Danford
regretted that there was an apathy pre-
yalent when such questions had to be
met and settled. He hoped the people
would not forget the sth Of November.

which President Mckinley was the
