EULOGIES OF GLADSTONE Statesmen Pay Tribute. English PARTY LINES FORGOTTEN. GOVERNMENT LEADERS TELL OF HIS WORTH. Premier Salisbury Says His Was a Great Example, Hardly Paral- leled in the Annals of History. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, May 20.—The eulogles of Mr. Gladstone formed a historic epi- sode in the House of Commons to-day. There were more members assembled in the House to-day than upon any occasion since Mr. Gladstone himself introduced the home rule bill They filled every seat and clustered on the steps of the Speaker’s dais, and the Peers’ gallery was crowded with the foremost members of the House of Lords. The United States Embassa- dor, Colonel John Hay, and all the members of his staff were among the diplomats present. After prayer, the House silently | awaited Mr. Balfour for a quarter of an hour, and when he arcse all heads The members were gen- erally attired in black. All the galler- jes were full. The House went into committee to consider the address to the Queen in regard to the interment of the remains of Mr. Gladstone in the Collegiate Church of St. Peter at West- minster, otherwise Westminster Abbey. Mr. Balfour, the Government leader, ite of his ilin was able to move the addr He prefaced the motion with a lengthy eulogy of Mr.Gladstone, speaking with evident emotion. The Liberal leader, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, seconded the motion. In do- ing so, the Liberal leader paid a heart- felt tribute to the deceased statesman, and John Dillon, the Irish leader, did the same. The address to the Queen was then adopted. In the House of Lords there was a full attendance of members. The Marquis of Salisbury spoke feelingly f Mr. Gladstone, who, he said, was ever guided in all his efforts by a lofty moral idea.” Continuing, the Premier said: ‘The deceased will not be remembered so much for his politi- cal work as for the great example, hardly paralleled in history, of the great Christian statesman.” The Earl of Kimberly, the Liberal leader, followed with a touching trib- ute, and the Duke of Devonshire ex- P d generous appreciation of Mr. Gladstone’s services in behalf of the Liberal Unionists, saying their sever- ance from Mr. Gladstone was a most painful incident. “But,” he added, ‘“‘he could recall no | word from Mr. Gladstone which added to the bitterness of the situation.” The Earl of sebery delivered an eloquent panegyric on the deceased statesman. It is virtually decided that Mr. Glad- stone's body shall be interred in West- minster Abbey. Telegrams continue to arrive in great number at Hawarden Castle from all parts of the world. Mrs. Gladstone is as well as can be expected. The Czar ha aphed Lo lish, 3 “I have just received the painful news of the decease. I consider it my duty to ex s my feelings of sincere sympathy on the occasion of the cruel an »parable bereavement which has bef: u, as well as the deep regret which the sad event has given me. The whole civilized world will weep for the loss of the great statesman whose po- litical values were so widely and peaceful. NICHOLAS. VERY STRICT PRESS CENSORSHIP IS ON.

NOT AFRAID OF THE WHOLE SPANISH FLEET Captain Clark of the Oregon Asked Not to Be Tangled Up With Inpstructions, NEW YORK, May 20.—A Washington special to the Herald says: In connection with the trip of the battleship Oregon an interesting story is in circulation at the Navy Department which cannot be confirmed, but which illustrates the intrepidity of Captain C.

Upon his arrival at Rio de Janeiro the War Board took under serious consideration the question of protecting from the enemy’s fleet, then supposed to be awaiting her at some ad- One or two members of the board urged the advisa- bility of sending a squadron to convoy her to Key West, but this was scouted by the majority and voluminous instructions were sent to Cap- tain Clark in regard to the course which he should which, it is said, Captain Clark sent to the department was something “Please don’t tangle me up with vantageous point. like this: afraid of the whole Spanish fleet.” 0000000000000 CODO00000000 (] o © Apparently the Spaniards are more afraid of the Oregon than that vessel is of them. Although the Oregon is unaccompanied on her voy- age through the West Indies by a single ship, the Marietta and Nich- theroy having been left in Brazilian waters, no attempt has seemingly been made by Admiral Cervera to intercept the American battle-ship, although the department experts say that it would properly be his pol- fcy to destroy detached ships, and especially such great re-enforcement as the Oregon will undoubtedly be to the American fleet.

Skilled Labor Commands Higher Wages and America Now Offers a Poor Market for the Surplus Product. TACOMA, May 20.—Reports received at Yokohama up to May 2 show that Japan’s tea crop was greatly damaged by a severe frost occurring on April 23. The damage was most pronounced in the Shidzuoka. and Kyota districts, where there was already a decrease in acreage compared with last and pre- vious years. Japanese papers state that the tea in- dustry is surely declining in several districts, owing largely to the increase of expenses attendant upon tea manu- facture. Estimates fo the cost of picking, fir- ing, etc., amount this year to 8.70 yen per 30 kemamme, compared with 6.456 yen last year. Skilled labor is found to be higher throughout the districts than | ever before, because of the greatly in- : widow in Eng- | Chairman_Henderson of the | creased cost of living. The Central Tea Dealers’ Guild of Japan received cablegrams from New York on April 22 stating that the tea market prospects there were rendered very unpromising by the outbreak of the Spanish war. The Guild then sent circulars to tea dealers throughout Japan urging that the most stringent rules be adopted in manufacturing and shipping tea to this country, which constitutes Japan’'s best market. The tea growers are considerably dis- heartened. The last season was a poor one, the Japanese market being greatly overstocked after June 15, previous to which §hipments were unusually large, because the United States was expected to collect a duty on tea after July 1.

McCoy says he will now meet Goddard and then Choynski. | There was a great difference in weight of the men, McCoy, according to his statement, weighing 157 pounds, and Ruhlin, according | to Billy Madden, his manager, tipping | the scales at 180 pounds.

The men POLICY OF SPAIN'S NEW MINISTRY Sagasta Says the War Is to Be Fought to the Bit- ter Bad Weylerites Arraign the Cabinet Because It Follows the Plans of Its Predecessor. MADRID, May 20.—The Ministers, in full uniform, appeared in the Senate to- day. Owing to the circumstances, the new Cabinet is already nicknamed the ‘‘cir- | cumstantial Cabinet.” The Premier, Senor Sagasta, explained the ministe- rial crisis and asserted that the new Ministry would continue the policy of the former Ministry. He related how “Spain did everything to avoid war un- | til America, violating all recognized diplomacy, attacked Spain with an in- justice unprecedented in the annals of civilized history and compelled Spain to respond with war to war, which Spain would continue to the utmost un- til an honorable peace is obtainable.” “This,” the Premier continued, “is a strong policy, and the new Govern- ment will also energetically conduct | negotiations with European and other | states.” Count Penaramiro proposed the Sen- ate’s congratulations to Admiral Cer- vera on his arriving safely at Santiago de Cuba and “cleverly dodging the American squadrons.” Captain Aunon, the Minister of Ma- rine, responded in the name of the navy, highly extolling Admiral Cervera. In so doing he said the arrival of the Spanish squadron in Cuban waters would ‘‘cement the friendship of the Cubans with Spain and will prove to the world that Spain will never aban- don Cuba while the mother country re- tains her vitality.” The congratulations were voted unan- imously. In taking possession of the admiralty the new Minister of "Marine made a patriotic speech to the assembled offi- cers, recalling ‘“the splendid example set by our sailors at Cavite in dying for Spain.” In the Chamber Senor Sagasta re- peated his Senate speech. Senor Sil- vela, leader of the Dissident Conserva- tives, replied that his section of the Conservative party approved the policy announced by Senor Sagasta and would support the new Cabinet. Senor Romero y Robledo, leader of the Weylerite faction, presented an in- terpellation, maintaining that the ojd Government was in a crisis in the very declaration of war, and that if the pres- ent were a continuation of the policy of the old Cabinet, then the Cabinet also was in a crisis. Senor Romero y Robledo then pressed Senor Gamazo, Minister of Public In- struction and Public Works. to disclose his individual opinion and to say how far he endorsed the ministerial polcy of the reconstructed Cabinet, insisting that if the present was a continuation of the former policy, then Senor Ga- mazo, unless he had thrown over his former theories, ought to be in the op- position, not in office. Senor Gamazo replied that, without abandoning his present ideas, he had accepted office patriotically, and would carry out the Government programme h;respecllve of his own personal theo- ries. Senor Segasta explalned that the Cabinet changes were due to the fact that several Ministers were “ill and ex-~ tremely fatigued after the recent anxie- ties.” He said the Cabinet found itself confronted with war or dishonor, and accepted the former, adding solemnly: “The Spanish Government will never accept peace if the territorial integrity of Spain is not maintained, and other- wise Spain is determined to fight a toute outrance.” [Loud cheers.] Later Senor Sagasta promised a day to debate the “Red Book.” Altogether, however, the debate was disappointing to the Chamber and to the public gal- leries, which had expected sensational scenes. Professor Salmeron made a speech vigorously attacking the Cabinet. In an interview to-day the Minister of Marine is quoted as saying: “I am greatly rejoiced at the safe arrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba. It is an immense triumph for the Spanish navy. The sailors who ex- ecuted the movement and those who planned it are worthy of all praise.” Continuing the Minister said he con- gratulated himself upon the first event happening in his administration augur- ing so well for the navy and for the country. A dispatch from Havana says two American ships have bombarded Gun- atanamo, and adds that the Spanish gunboat Santuaro and a regiment of troops repulsed the attempt to land there. According to the Spanish ver- sion the Spaniards did not suffer afy loss, and the Americans retired. Admiral Camara, the commander of the Cadiz squadron, is here receiving instructions relative to the destination of his ships, which, it is explained, “de- pends upon the requirements of the war.” The new Minister of Marine has injected the greatest activity into his department. It is said he has been offered war munitions from many quar- ters. It is evident the new Spanish Cabinet intends to push the campaign vigorous- ly, and, it is said, the Minister will ne- gotiate actively with the foreign diplo- mats to protect Spain against a com- bination of her enemies. half-minute, when McCoy rushed but was blocked.

McCoy fell short on a right lead and Ruhlin came back with the left. The Kid rushed and tried to reach the jaw with a left swing, but failed. Gus sent his right hard to the body.
