MR. GLADSTONE DEAD The Great British Common
 CT Passes Away at the
 Hawarden Castle. SURROUNDED BY HIS FAMILY
MRS. GLADSTONE CEASPED HEl
 DYING HUSBANDS HAND.

He Had Been Unconscious Practically
 All Day Though at Times He Seemed
 to Recognize the Watchers About
 Him-Career of the Great Party Leader,
 Writer and Statesman.
 Hawarden, May 19.--Gladstone died at 5 o'clock this morning. At midnight it was announced that MT. Gladstone was still alive. Since the $40 bulle- tin stating that MT. Gladstone had been much the same all the day, al- though he was weaker than this morn ing, nothing had transpired." The doctors did not think at midnight that MT. Gladstone could outlast the night but they added that his wonderful power of rallying which had more than once already surprised them, would make the hour of his decease most un- certain.
 He had been unconscious practically all day though at times he seemed to recognize for a moment some of the watchers about him. Certainly he did recognize his wife who was beside him all day except when the physicians prevailed upon her to rest. She ten derly clasped her husbands hand as she watched him. Apparently he slept good deal, and occasionally he utter ed few words in an incoherent, dreamy way, words which those who were watching were unable to catch. Their only consolation was that he was not suffering pain. No narcotics were administered.
 At a. m. it was learned MT. Glad stone was on the very brink of the grave. All the family had met in his room. They included his frail and worn wife, clasping the beloved hand; Helen Gladstone, her brother Henry Gladstone, the Rev. Stephen Gladstone, Mrs. Drew, Mrs Wickham, Mrs. Henry Gladstone, MT. Phillimore, a lifelong friend, and on the outer fringe of those near the dying man stood almost as much affected, DTS. Habershon, Dovie and Bliss and two faithful nurses.

OFF FOR MANILA.
Cruiser Charleston Sails Salutes Fired
 at Navy Yard.

Valleja, Cal, May 18.-The cruiser Charleston got under way for Manila shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. Salutes were fired at Mare Island navy yard and citizens of Vallejo who were assembled along the shore vigorously cheered the departing vessel. The compasses of the Charleston will be ad- justed as she proceeds down the bay, and no stop will be made at San Fran cisco. On the vessel are a number of newspaper correspondents among them E. Langley Jones, who has been order ed to Manila to report the movements of United States troops there for the Associated Press
 The Charleston was heavily loaded with ammunition for her own guns in addition to a large supply of powder and projectiles for Admiral Deweys S fleet. No troops were carried on the Charleston, as she has no room for more than her own crew, 360 men. The cruiser was heavily loaded with coal, but will not have much left when she reaches Manila.

Sketch of Gladstone,

The late Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, M. F., P. C., was the fourth son of the late Sir John Gladstone, Bart, of Basque, County Kincardine, N. B., a well known merchant of Liv- erpool, and was born there December 29, 1809 He was educated at Eton and Christ Church. Oxford, of which he was nominated a student in 1929, and grad uated, taking a double first class, in some time in continental tour he was returned at the general election in De- est, for Newark and entered parliament just as the struggle of parties was at it's height. On January 25. 1883, he en- tered Lincoln's Inn, and when he had been member for six years and three months he petitioned to have his name removed from the books of the society on the ground of his having given up his intention of being called to the bar. In the house of commons his mercan- tile origin the success of his university career, his habits of business and his high character recommended him to the notice of Sir Robert Peel, who in De- cember, 1884, appointed him to junior lordship of the treasury, and in Febru- ary, 1885, under-s secretary for colonial affairs.
 MT. Gladstone retired from office with his ministerial leader in April and re- mained in opposition until Sir Robert Feels return to power in September, 1S41 On accepting office under Sir Rob- ert Peel in 1841 as vice president of the board of trade and master of the mint. MT. Gladstone was sworn member of the privy council. In his new position he had to captain and defend in the lower house of parliament the commer- cial policy of the government, and in the discharge of this duty he had what ever advantage his mercantile origin and connection could give him. The revision of the tariff in 1S42 was almost entirely the result of his energy and in- dustry. When this laborious work was brought before the house or commons it was found to be as admirably executed in it's details as it was complete in it's mastery of general principles, and it received the sanction of both houses with scarcely an alteration.
 In 1S43 MT. Gladstone succeeded the Earl of Ripon as president of the board of trade, but resigned that office early in 1S45. In January, 1S46, Sir Robert Peel announced his intention of propos- ing a modification of the corn laws. MT. Gladstone. who had succeeded Lord Stanley Ghe late Earl of Derby) in the post of secretary of state for the colonies, adhered to the leader un- der whom he had entered upon minis terial life, but possibly unwilling to re- main under obligations to the late Duke of Newcastle, who sympathized strong

nAnBon PATRIOT AND THE MINES.
Seven Recruits Needed by Colonel Beach
 -COmpanies' Field Day.

Colonel Francis G. Beach, who re- gently organized a battery of heavy ar tillery here, arrived in the city last night from Mantle in search of re-. cruits. He was looking fine in his sol dier's uniform, reminding one very much of Frederick Remingtons sol diers. He said that only seven men were rejected out of those whom he first took to Mantle. There were some men who have applied since the battery went to camp and tlley were placed on the waiting list and will be taken to camp this morning. Colonel Beach will be at the armory at 7:30 for the purpose of securing names of any who may de- sire to enlist. They will be examined as soon after their arrival as possible in order that if the examinations are passed they may be mustered in with the rest of the battery at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Colonel Beach said the men had received most of their equipment and that every one was in good health and apparently in the very best of spirits.
 The companies of the Second regi- ment will hold their annual field days next week in accordance with orders recently received from the adjutant generals office. The Blues will have their field day next Monday, the Light Guards and Sarsfelds on Tuesday, the City Gnuards on Wednesday and the Grays on Thursday. The companies will report at the armory on the above dates at 6:45 a. m.; thence they will proceed to the state range in Westville, where a part of the day will be devoted to target practice. The remainder of the day will be spent in drilling on the large vacant lot on Henry street, known as the slaughter r-house lot.
 The entrances to the harbor have been thoroughly mined now and sys- tenn of rigid patrol established over the mine fields. Yesterday the launch which, manned by Naval Reserves, has patrolled the entrance of the harbor, was reinforced by the tug Williams of this city The Naval Reserves assign ed to this patrol duty find that it re-
 quires of them the closest watchful- ness. Twelve hours of patrol service is required of each man and there are two crews of eight men each, Lieutenant E. V. Reynolds and Ensign Hutchinson commanding. The watches are divid- ed as follows: p. m. to p. m., p. m. to 2 a. m., 2 a. m. to 8 a. m., a. m. to Il a. m., Il a. m. to 2 D. m. The old lighthouse schooner Robert P. King, near the breakwater, is the place where the amateur tars bunk in for needed rest when off duty.
 The duty of the Reserves consists in warning Assels off the mined channels. Thus faTs6ilesNessels passing in or out of the harb0 hys found discretion the better part Valor and needed the warning of the patrol and no trouble is anticipated in the future. Of course if vessel should not heed the warn ings of the harbor patrol it would do so at her own risk. The two western channels are now closed and all vessels are sent around to the eastern channel, which has also been partly closed. The boys are looking bronzed and healthy, and do not find the work unpleasant. The engine of the steam launch is in need of some slight repairs.

ANOTHER CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS Not Likely Until the Aggregate Number
 First Called Responds.

Washington, May 1S.-There is a good deal of talk at the war department to- day of the possibility of an issue by the president of another call for volun- teers, but careful inquiry tends to war rant the statement that this is at least premature and that no further call is likely to be issued until the aggregate number of. soldiers already called for has responded and has been duly equip ped for service. The equipment of the new troops is the main source of delay, and it promises to become even worse in the future.

Town of Cunningham, Kansas, Almost
 DemoIished-Li Lives Lost iM Iowa.


 Kingman, Kansas, May 1S.-A de- structive tornado swept over the west ern part of this county last night about o'clock. The town of Cunningham was almost demolished. The cloud travelled in a northwesterly direction, wrecking the hotel, two livery barns, part of the Wichita and Western depot and part of the business and residence portion of the village. There are only five houses left standing. The track of the storm was two hundred yards wide and everything was swept clean. Peo- pie saw the cloud about twenty min utes before it struck, and rushed to their cellars. Nobody was seriously in- jured. A good deal of stock was killed. The storm was preceded by rain and hail. Cunningham is a small town on the Wichita and Western railroad sixty miles west of Wichita.
 Clinton, la, May 1S.-Over a score of lives were lost and thousands of dollars worth of property was destroy ed by a tornado which swept Clinton
 
 The storm jumped into western Illinois near Savannah and it was at that point that the loss of life was greatest. Tel egraph and telephone facilities are par alyzed tonight and the full extent of the storm is yet to be learned. The dead so far reported are:
 At Preston, Ia.-Charles Flora and wife and three of their children.
 At Quigley, Ia.-William O'Meara, child of John Clark.
 At Riggs Station, Ia.-Martin Hines, daughter of Michael Solon.
 At Stanwood, Ia.-Michael Maloney, Luke Maloney.
 At Delmar Junction, Ia.-Oba Allison, Sauren Clemenson.
 At Savannah, Ill.-Four persons, names unknown.
 The storm, which worked such devas- tation in the rich farming counties along the eastern border of Iowa and western Illinois, started shortly after o'clock this afternoon a mile south of Stanwood. From Stanwood the storm moved rapidly in a northeasterly direc- ton, passing over the northeastern part of Clinton county, the northwestern part of Clinton county, then over the southeastern portion of Jackson coun- ty. This section of the state is thickly settled. No towns were in the path of the storm, but farm houses and barns were torn to pieces by the score. The clouds were seen approaching by many of the farmers and they sought refuge in the cellars.
 At least twenty-five were killed, being unable to find shelter, and probably as many more were seriously injured by flying timbers. The path of the storm varied from forty rods in some places to eighty feet in Jackson county. Trees and outhouSeS were torn to pieces. Roofs of farm houses were lifted like straws and carried half a mile along the path of the storm and then hurled against the walls of big stock barns, cutting them in two and killing hun dreds of cattle which had taken shelter from the fury of the elements in the sheds. Half a dozen school buildings are known to have been destroyed, but it is not thought that any of the pupils perished, most of them having just about reached home when the storm broke. Near Preston more buildings were destroyed than in any other local-
