GLADSTONE IS READY.
Religion Is His Main Consolation as He
Nears Eternity.

London, May 6.-Mr. Gladstone's
strength steadily declines, though there
is, 1t is stated, no prospect Of an i'm
mediate end. The disease has not
gained force enough to overcome the
wonderful strength Of his constitution,
but natural weakness now supervenes
and gains upon him, encouraged by
Mr.. Gladstone's fervent desire for the
rest which he has so richly earned.
He is now confied to his room. Now
and again his mind reverts to critical
periods in his career and to the legisla-
ton which cost him the most anxiety
but the main thing that fills his thought
is religion, and he speaks Of death al
his call.
