A. MARTYR TO HIS NATION, HIS
DEATH CASTS PAIL OF
GLOOM.

LONDON, April 22.-Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman died this morning
The eX-premier passed away peace
fully. Today pail OF gloom is over the
islands.
Sir Henry sacrificed his life to the
demands OF his country. Instead of TAX
ing care Of mis- physical condition ne
continued TO perform the strenuous
duties of his Office until he was COM
PEELED TO take TO his bed.
His death Will probably be followed
by split in the liberal party, such as
occurred in the democratic party n
1896 when Bryan was first nominated.
The severance of the liberals into Il
radical and conservative wing will
mean the return of the conservatives
into power. Campbell Zimmerman had
personality has kept the divergent ele-
ments in his party together
1868 and three years later became q
member of GladstOnes first adminis-
:ration. He held office subsequently in
every liberal cabinet. In GladstoneS
second administration he acted as Sec
retary to- Ireland and is the. only states
man of note in English politics that
held the position and retired not either
ruined in reputation or ruined in health.
Upon the resignation of Balfour in
1905 ne became premier. Herbert III.
Asquith was appointed his successor
when he was compelled to resign be-
cause OF illness and will probably con-
tinue to hold the Office.
