For an hour or two they followed the flying Spaniards to the west ward along the shore line. sending shot after shot into their blazing hulis, tearing great holes in their steel sides and covering their decks with the blood of the killed and wounded.

They showed no signals oI surrender even when their ships began to slnK' and the great clouds of smoke pouring from their sides showed that they were on fire But they turned their heads toward the shore, less that mile away and ran them on the beacn and rocks. where their destruction was soon completed.

ANTEDATED GLADSTONE.
Rt. Hon. Charles Villiers, Gather of
the House of Commons, Dead

LONDON, Jan. 16-Rt. Hon. Charles
Pelham Villiers, member Of parliament
from South Wolverhampton, and
known as the father of the house of
commons" having sat continuously in
the house since 1885, died at 9 o'clock
tonight.
Charles Pelham Villiers was the
third son Of Hon. George Villiers. The
London papers Of Jan. say that on
the previous day Mr. Villiers celebrar-
ed his ninety-sixth birthday, and re-
ceived congratulatory messages from
all parts of the kingdom.
In addition to being the oldest men,
Der of the house of commons, he was
father of the English bar" for he was
called" at Lincoln's Inn in 1927 Mr..
Gladstone, seven years the junior of
Mr.. Villiers, entered parliament two
years before him, but while the SER
vice of Mr.. Villiers at Westminster
had been continuous, that of the great
Liberal statesman was broken when
he retired from the house of commons.
Mr.. Villiers was returned from VOL
northampton three years after the pas
sage of the great reform act and the
last parliament of George ". Besides
being the oldest member of parliament,
he was the oldest surviving parlia-
mentary candidate.
1t was in 1926, when George ". was
king and Victoria was a young child,
that he travelled down into Yorkshire
from London and contested Kingston
Upon-Hull, under the reform banner of
Canning, though unSuccesSfully. In
1853 he was appointed judge advocate
general. In 1879 his admiring constit-
uents at Wolverhampton unveiled a
marble statue of Mr.. Villiers when
speeches in eulogy of his public serv-
ices in connection with the anti-corn
law movement were delivered by Earl
Granville and Sir Robert Peel.
Notwithstanding his extremely advanced
age his memory was singularly retentive,
and he was able to entertain his friends for
hours at time with lively and charming
narratives of scenes in the house Of COM
mons during the first half of the century.
Canning had passed away eight years be-
fore Mr.. Viliers entered parliament, but the
two often met. He often went to the house
to hear Canning speak and he invariably
described him as wonderful orator. Among
the famous personalities ne could recall and
wildly portray were the great Sir Robert
Peel, Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell,
Lord Derby, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Br ug am,
the Duke OF Wellington, Daniel O'Connell,
always delighted to recall the circumstance
that he was in the house when Disraed, tEen
quite a young man, made the celebrated
speech in which he said that day the
house would be compelled to listen to him.
Among other interesting events which he
Witnessed was the attack made by the mob
on the house of the Duke of Wellington, and
dukes duel in London suburb with Lord
Winchilsea, which arose out Of his lordship
calling the Waterloo hero a traitor, in con-
nection with Roman Catholic emancipation.

COMMERCIAL HIGH SCHOOL.
Innovation in Germany Reported by
Consular Agent Moore.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - Thomas
Ewing Moore, United States CONNER
ciaI agent at Weimar, makes the estab-
lishment of a commercial high school
at Madgeburg the subject Of a special
report to the state department, which
is printed in the daily consular reports.
Mr.. Moore says the purpose of this
school is to afford a higher education
to the mercantile classes in branches
especially pertaining to their lines of
business. The school will be under
state control, and, it is said, will con-
stitute but one more step in the policy
that has led to Germany's astonishing
commercial development in recent
years-a system that comprises a
study of the wants of other nations,
the exercising Of the initiative faculty,
technical training and thoroughness,
this last feature being one Of the es-
sentials of their success.
