END OF A LONG AND USEFUL LIFE Parliament Proposes State Funeral and Monument in the Abbey. ALL ENGLAND MOURNS HIM ee HAWARDEN, May 19.—William E. Gladstone d at 5 o'clock this morning. Yesterday a temporary improvement in his ¢ tion was noticed, but it svon dis- appeared and the watchers during the day hours saw his strength was gradually failing. Outside was a beautiful May day i the window of the sick room was kept open. The a at about 4 o'clock this morn- supposed Mr. Gladstone's scene when it last hour had come, was most painful. But he again showed his almost superhuman vitality, fought death away and relapsed into sleep. During this eri s Mr. Gladstone’s breath- ing was thirt to the minute and the members of his family were summoned. Rev. Stephen Gladstone read prayers and hymns, including Mr. Gladstone's favorite, “Rock of Ages.” When this was concluded Mr. Glad heard to murmur “Our Father.” The only other evidence that Mr. Gladston> realized his surroundings was when his son recited the litany. Then the dying war feebly murmured “Amen.” This was the last word spoken by Mr. Gladstoi Hawarden Rell Telled. Though the news of Mr. Gladstone's death spread rapidly, it was the tolling of the arden church bell which carried the sad tidings to every sorrowing home in this vicinity. the details of the last moments of wt statesman are coming cut of the . where the grief is too profound to summoned at 2 a.m., ow- tible sinking noticed by the From that time until away no he only ab- who had ut her grandfather r of agony kindly others were not wanting. man, who hd n unable to be preser hen the servants bid farewell to the dying man, was summoned and ie- mained to the end with his master.

The following telegram was sent by the State today: London: “Through appropriate channel express to Mr. Gladstone's family the sympathy and sorrow of the American people at the pass- ing away in the ripeness of years and full- ness of honors of one of the most notable figures of modern civil statesmanship.” Secretary Alger's Tribute. ary Alger has always been an en- tic admirer of Mr. Gladstone.

Sir Charles Dilke, radical, member for the forest of dean said: “Mr. Gladstone's leading personal characteristic wa8 old- fashioned courtesy; while as a statesmantit was his absolute mastery of finance, both in principle and detail, a mastery which was incomparable and superior to that of any of his contemporaries,” Mr. Henry Labouchere, editor of Truth and liberal member for Northampton, said: “What impressed me most was his power of concentrated effort. Once he had de- cided upon a course of action every thought was bent to attain the end. No- bedy was too arduous. He was animated koth by his supporters and opponents, in- spiring the former with his own fierce en- ergy, while if he could not gain over the lat- ter he crushed them. It was to this grim determination that he owned most of his successes.” Mr. James Bryce, liberal, member for Scuth Eberdeen and author of “The Ameri- can Commonwealth,” said: “I cannot recall any Other case in English history where the whole nation followed the sunsetting of a life with so-much sympathy and re- egret.” Mr. John Redmond, Parnellite, member of parliament for Waterford, said: ‘The loss to England is absolutely incalculable. glishmen of all parties should be grate- ful for his services in promoting the pros- perity of their empire.” - Evidences of Grief. The deepest manifestations of grief are reported throughout the country. Flags are everywhere half mast2d, the bells are toll- ing, shades are drawn down, and in the public galleries here the pictures of Mr. Gladstone have been draped with crape. The queen and the Prince of Wales re- ceived an early intimation of the sad news and immediately sent touching expressions of condolence to the widow. Further details from Hawarden C: the passing away of the great I statesman show his end was the peaceful imaginable; there was no sign of pain or distress.

Just before the house adjourned yester- Gay a telegram from Mr. Herbert Glad- Stone reached Lord Stanley announcing that his father was sinking. Already, be- fore his death, the hush of grief seemed to fa! over the scene of his triumphs, and m the pre men ‘turned to the past, alling sayings ond doings. Anticipating the inevitable, the members of the government diseu: d the appropri- ate procedure to be observed, and resélved that no effort on their part should be want- ing to mark a suitable sense of their loss. Disregarding recent precedence, {t was degided that the pregram in parliament should be the same as that adopted in the ses of the Earl of Catham and of the namely, an address to her ing for a funeral at the pub- 1] a monument erected in Westminster Abbe: Throughout the public gatheri gricf to the v : vers of W: whole kingdom every added its words of deep me of national mourning in the telegram from the les to Mr. Henry Gladstone: y thoughts are with you, your mother and your family at this ng time you are experiencing.

The Duke of Devo lord president of the coun- cil of ministers, speaking before the Brit- isk Empire League, referred touchingly to the mourning scenes at Hawardin, where the “greatest of Englishmen was’ slowly passing away In other places Lord Mayor Horatio Da- s, Lord George Hamilton, secretary of te for India; Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman and many others in London, as well as in Birmingham, Swansea, Cardiff, Liv- erpool, Edinburgh’ and elsewhere at all sorts of gatherIngs—politicians, divines, re- formers, agitators and women—Joined in the expression of national and individual grief, while the press, without exception, published columns of detail and columns of editorial commenis. Abroad the evidences of sympathy wero most as universal. M. Faure, president of the French republic, daily inquired, and has regularly received every bulletin.” The press of Belgium, Italy and Greece, in a spontanecus outburst, recalled how many oppressed peoples during Mr. Gladstone's life have offered hymns of praise for his interventior in their behalf, while in Mad+ rid even the prospect of his death has caused a twenty-four Hours’ suspension of war animosity against Enghand. House of Commons Adjourns. The house of commons was crowded to- @ay, and when the speaker, Mr, William Court Gully, called upon the government leader, Mr. A. J. Balfour, the first lord of the treasury, all present uncovered their heads. Mr. Balfour said: i ’ “I think it will be felt in all parts of the house that we should do fitting honor to the great man whose long aid splendid ca- reer closed today by adiourning. “This is not the occasion for uttering the thoughts which naturally suggest them- Selves. That occasion will” present itself tomorrow, when it will be my duty to sub- mit to the house an address to the queen, praying her to grant the honor of a public funeral, if such honor fs not inconsistent with the expressed wishes of himself or of those who have the right to speak in his behalf, and also praying the queen to di- rect that a public monument be erected at Westminster, with an inscription express- ive of.the public admiration, attachment and high sense entertained- by the house of Mr. Gladstone’s splendid gifts and de- voted labors in parliament and in the high offices of state. “Before actually movitig the adjournment I have to propose a formal resolution that the house tomorrow resolve itself into com- mittee to draw up an address, the contents of which I have just indicated.” After a word of assent from Sir William Vernon-Harcourt, the liberal leader, the resolution was adopted, and the house ad- journed. —__ GEORGE WASHINGTON’S COUSIN. Sons of American Revolution Mark Grave of Col. Burgess Ball. The annual outing of the Sons of the American Revolution, Society of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which always takes the form of perpetuating some patriotic mem- ory, was made yesterday to Ball's Bluff, for the purpose of marking and decorating the grave of Col. Burgess Ball, a revolu- tionary patriot and the cousin and asso- ciate of General George Washington. Over a hundred members of the society and about half as many invited guests left here yesterday at 1 o'clock on a special train over the Southern railroad for Lees- burg. Conveyances were in waiting there, and the party was driven to the little cem- etery two miles out, where services were held. After introductory remarks by Dis- trict Commissioner John B. Wight, and a prayer by Rev. Dr. T. S. Childs, a patriotic address was delivered by Dr. Edward M. Gallaudet, president of the society. The grave was then marked with the bronze marker of the Society of the American Revolution and strewn with flowers, The visitors then returned to Leesburg, where dinner was enjoyed at the inn, the train leaving for Washington at 7 o'clock. The committee in charge of the outing comprised John B. Wight, chairman; Will- jam H. Pearce, secretary; W. Eleroy Cur- tis, Jonn Paul Earnest, Charles Tainter, Lloyd B. Wight and Francis E. Leupp. The venerable Ebenezer Burgess Ball, a grandson of the patriot whose dust was honored, was prescnt during the ceremon- ies, and his striking likeness to portraits of George Washington was generally com- mented on. ee McKinley Tariff League Meeting.

Weinheimer of No. 629 Maryland avenue southwest has formed a company of naval militia. In a letter recently address- ed to the District Commissioners he ex- pressed the desire of his organization to enter the District Naval Reserves and ask- ed how they might be mustered in. In re- plying to Mr. Weinheimer the Commission- ers state that the act of May 11, 18¥8, au- thorizing the organization of a naval bat- talion in the District of Columbia preseribes that the militia law of the District shall apply to the naval battalion in all matters not otherwise specially provided for. The Commissioners declare, further, that as the act contains no special reference to the subject of Mr. Weinheimer’s inquiry and as the local militia law makes the President of the United States the com- mander-in-chief of the District militia, the Commissioners are of the opinion that the Secretary of War is the proper official to furnish the desired information. The Com- missiomers have apparently no jurisdiction whatever in the matter. SR ae Every One Should Display a Fiag.
