PEACEFUL ENDING OF LIFE
Grandeur of Grand Old Man Accen

Hour Was at Hand.
NEW YORK, May IS. A London
cable to the Sun says: The passing of
Gladstone jS accomplished. It was
peaceful at the last peaceful and ma-
jectic. Death won no victory over the
greatest Englishman of his time. The
arch enemy was to him a friend and
refuge, whose coming he had longed
for, and whose presence brought only
hflnite solace. His pathetic craving for

Welcomed the final summons. It is a
simple story, this record of the closing
hours of a life which, more than any
other in the century, perhaps, has in
fluenced the lives of his fellow coun
trymen during two generations. The
pain, which, though intermittent, was
most cruelly severe for nearly nine
months, had gradually subsided for
This was
three or four weeks past
due, not so much to the use of mor
phine, which was employed more or
less since January, as to the fact that
the nerves themselves mercifully ex
hausted their capacity for suffering.

of such advanced age served both to

disease was not only malignant, but in
volved tuberculosis of the bone, which
is one of the most painful of afflictions.
There is no need to dwell upon his for
titude and. the agony during the dread
ful ordeal. The pitiful story is only
too well known, and none wondered at
his pathetic yearning for death. His
physicians felt justified in gradually
increasing the use of opiates and other
pilliatives until within a fortnight,
when the destruction and numbering of
the nerves by the progress of the dis-
ease made it no
made it no longer necessary.
Drugs were used sparingly during the
past ten days, the result being that
Gladstone was conscious and clear
in mind, except for brief spells of deli
rium, due chiefly to weakness.
The failure of his strength was so

Monday, that the surrerer mignt oe

change came during the night. His
rest became fitful, and his remaining
viuiuiy rapiuiy ueciinea, ana at aay
break Tuesday it was evident that his
last hours were at hand. The members
of the famliy were summoned, and
nearly all of them spent the day by
the bedside of the sufferer.
Gladstone well knew his hour had
come and p.lanly the thought brought
him sweet content. He was conscious
most of the time, but almost beyond
the power of speech or motion. The
great mind was still active, still ver
satile. He surprised his watchers at
midday by murmuring a prayer in the
French language, with which he was
perfectly familiar but seldom used in
tne ordinary anairs oi me. 211s vital
forces continued to diminish and .dur
ing the afternoon his pulse became al
most imperceptible. His breathing
was but of the faintest and his extrem
ities became cold from the feeble ac
tion of the heart.
There was a slight rally about sun
down and the night was passed in a
natural sleep. During Wednesday there
was a slow flickering of the vital flame
and there were occasional intervals
of semi-consciousness until the end
came at 5 o'clock this morning.
Though a national funeral will prob-
it
(t ably be accepted by the family, there
is little doubt that the remains of Mr.
.;) Gladstone will be laid to rest in the
0 peaceful graveyard at Hawarden, ad

Eighty-sixth Day, May 26.
The Senate bill regulating the open
ing of streets on private lands in Ho-
nolulu came up on third readine and
passed.
The Senate bill ratifying the sale of
two lots of land in North Kona under
the Homestead Act of 1SS4 passed
third reading.
The bill levying a duty of 25 cents a
pound on chicory, raw or otherwise,
and upon carom el cereal or other sub
stitutes of coffee, the product of any

Republic was reported back from the
Printing Committee, read by title and
referred to the Committee on Com
merce. Owing to the absence of Senator
Brown the opium bill was deferred to
Monday.
At 10:20 o'clock the Senate adjourn

all the members were present Minister
Cooper entered and announced that
advices had been received from Min

HOUSE.
Eighty-sixth Day, May 2G.
Minister Cooper announced signed by
President Dole .House bill 50, "An Act
Icreating Ian . Auditor-Generai'isj De
partment and to further regulate the
receipt, custody and disbursement of
public moneys, and provide for the
supervision of public accountants and
audit of public accounts, etc."
Rep. Isenberg introduced the follow
ing resolution which was referred to
a special committee: "Be it resolved
that an item of $1500 be inserted in
the appropriation bill, current accounts
for the 'promotion of tourist travel.' "
This is in furtherance of E. C. Mac
farlane's advertising plan.
The appropriation bill was again
taken up. The salary of the Deputy
Collector-General was reduced from
$225 to $175. The Collector-General's
salary passed at $6000.
Rep. McCandless wanted the item of
$S000 for custom guards, all ports,
striken out. The Customs Bureau had
already asked for half the earth, where
was the use of giving them the whole
of it. This proved a most unpopular
motion with the House. Reps. Mc
Candless and Kahaulelio were the only
ones who voted it.
Rep. Gear introduced the subject of a
steam launch for the Customs Bureau.
An engineer must be had to run the
launch. He would recommend the in
sertion of a new item of $3000 for an
engineer, l he consideration or tnis
was deferred until the launch item
should be brought up.
Rep. Gear moved for the insertion
in the appropriation bill of an item of
$4800 for a food inspector. It was
necessary to nave a goou man ana
therefore he should have a good sal
ary. Rep. McCandless moved the item
be made $2700 for 18 months. Carried.
At 12 noon the House took a recess
until 1:30 p. m.
In the afternoon the Vice-Speaker
waited until nearly 2 o'clock. The
members who were present became
uneasv as it did not look as if a quo
j rum woukl arrjVe. The Vive-Speaker
announced that the tardy members
should be taught a lesson and declared
the House adjourned.
Mr. Haywood Annoyed.
Consul-General Haywood has a
grievance against one of the evening
papers. Mr. Haywood gave out some
news concerning transports for Ma
nila. The information came in a let
ter from Mrs. Haywood. The paper
which has annoyed the consul general
used or mentioned the letter from Mrs.
Haywood to color or strengthen a dis
patch speculating ' on the probability
or likelihood of United States troops
being landed here to occupy Hawaii.
The complaint of the consul general
is quite natural, as the peculiar use to
which the letter was put places the
representative in a most embarrassing
position.

THE TWO FLEETS.
WASHINGTON, May IS. All news
regarding the location of Admiral
Sampson's fleet is kept under lock and
key at the Navy Department. But
while this silence is preserved, it is re
ported that cipher messages have been
received today which convey the in
formation that while part of Sampson's
squadron is still guarding the Wind
ward passage between Cuba and Hayti,
it has put out scouts along the north
ern coast of Cuba.
The fleet was seen off Cape Maysl,
the extreme eastern point of Cuba, two
days ago. At the same time the flying
squadron has arrived at Key West and
no doubt is reaching out to form a
coalition with Sampson. Therefore
the impressive spectacle is presented
of thirty or more great American war
ships within striking distance of Cuba
or on guard in Wrest India waters ,
against any possible northern rush on
the part of Cervera's fleet.
If the news from Kingston tele
graphed to the Navy Department to
night is accurate, that the enemy's
fleet has been sighted off Jamaica,
northward bound, stirring times are
due at any moment. It is not unlikely
that there will be a concerted move
ment, that the fleets will divide and
encircle Cuba, and troops will be rush
ed under their protection to the island.
PORT AU PRINCE (Hayti), May 18.
Nothing is known here of the report
from Plata, San Domingo, to the effect
that the Spanish Cape Verde fleet, com
manded by Admiral Cervera, has ar
rived at Porto Rico. The latest news
which reached Port Au Prince con
cerning the Spanish war ships simply
confirmed the report that they left Cu
racoa, Dutch West Indies, on Sunday
afternoon last for an unknown desti
nation, after having taken on board
coal and provisions.
NEW YORK, May 18. A cable to the
Sun from Biarritz, France, says: The
Spanish Navy Department estimates
that the Spanish fleet will arrive at
Havana on May 22d, or Tampa on
May 25th, or New Orleans on May
26th. If the fleet goes in the direction
of Bahia to look for the Oregon,
Marietta and Buffalo, the department
expects to hear from the vessels on
May 30th.
Reports emanate from Spanish Gov
ernment offices that Spain's approaches
to Gomez and Garcia to induce them to
rally to the support of the Spanish
cause are on the eve of success.
