But From All Mouth Coma Words of Praise the Sams ae Thos Accorded After Memory Haa Been Hallowed by ' the Tomb Foreign News. Losdo. The Sun correspondent ca- bles : Those who feared that his retire ment from public life would bring upon Mr. Gladstone just those evil which he designed to avoid are beginning to find ' their judgment justified. The grand old man has aged many year in the past three months. The picture he made at the Dr. Andrew Clark memorial meeting the other day was a pitiful one. He wa 1 a feeble, bent octogenarian, who leaned ' upon a stout stick even when addressing ' the audience from his chair. Hi word were brave, polished, well chosen and appropriate. Not a shadow ha yet crossed his shining intellect, but both flesh and spirit are breaking. He is not ill, no specific malady is undermining hi marvelous vitality, but the great change, which his grieving friends can not Fail to recognize, is making rapid ' progress. He ha lost interest in life; that is ominous. For sixty years he found rest in other forms of activity and peace in new struggle. Work has been his only recreation. Fresh responsibility : never failed to renew his vigor. His friends are beginning to understand now what Sir Andrew Clark saw clearly that for such a man to fold his hands meant despair and death. KXTKRMINATINO SLAVE TRADE. An Expedition in Africa That Will End the Arabs' Influence. Zanzibar. Advices have reached here from Mengo to the effect that the fugi tive expedition under the command of Colonel Colville sent against Kabarega, King of Uniyore. has completely defeated the King's forces. In November last Kino Kahamra attacked a chief at Tom. who waa a British ally. The chief ap- j plied to the British for aid, and a force j of 200 Nubians commanded by Major Owen was sent to his assistance. This force met Kabarega' torce, ana aiier a fight that lasted three hours the latter fled, leaving at least fifty dead. War was then declared on Kabarega and a force of 400 Nubians and 10.000 Wyan dova native sent against him. Five thousand of the latter carried arms. This force wa too strong for Kabarega, and though he gave battle, he was routed. The expedition has established a chain of forts from the Albert Nianza, on the banks of which Kabarega' headquarters were situated, to Uganda. It is expected that the success of the expedition will prove a death blew to the slave trade of this region and will bring Arab influence to an end. GERMAN EDITORS SENTENCED. They Commented Too Severely ea tha Conduct of tho Polios. Berlin. Nine editors have been sen tenced at the end of a two days' trial for having libeled the police in commenting on their conduct at the Friederichsruhe brewery January IS last. On this date a company of policemen attacked with drawa swords a meeting of the unem- fdoyed, and drove all from the neighbor lood of the brewery. The affair was made the subject of interpellations in the Reichstag, and was debated with ex cessive bitterness by the Social Demo crats. Most of the offending editors were Social Democrats. They received these sentences : Robert Schmidt of the Vorwaerts, five months' imprisonment; Kessler of the Volkeblatt and Wissber ger of the Berlin Zeitung, three months each; Sachan of the Social Demokrat and Harnish of the Lichstrahlen, two months each. The rest were fined from 150 to 500 mark each. HOSTILITY TO BOBOONO. Tha President of Peru I Hlased at a Bull Fight. Lima, Peru. Borgono ha received marked assurance that there is an ele ment in this city which is decidedly hos tile to him. A bull fight had drawn an immense crowd to the amphitheater, and when the matador on entering the arena raised bis sword in salute to Pres ident Borgono a storm of hissing and whistling burst from the throng of spec tators, and the cry arose: "No, he is no President; he is a usurper." The tumult, which lasted several seconds, created great excitement. Borgono is pushing his aggressive tactics against his opponents, and arrests of persons who are hostile to him and to his admin istration continue in all parts of the Re public. The government ia extremely hard pressed for money. Tha Pope and Spain. London. A dispatch to the Standard from Rome says Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, has intimated to the Pope that, while he is devoted and obedient to the vicar of Christ, he cannot counsel his followers to abandon the cause in Spain, which is that of reclaiming his legitimate rights, which claim is similar to that of the Pope for the restoration of temporal power. This decision from Don Carlos, which challenges the Pope's present attitude to the reigning dynasty of Spain, has produced a deep impres sion at the Vatican. A large portion of the Spanish clergy follow Don Carlos. Glgantlo Saloou Business. Rome. Baron Sonnino, Finance Min ister, has signed a convention with an English syndicate, by which the syndi cate has agreed to pay the government 60,000,000 lire annually in exchange for the alcohol monopoly.' The government has been enabled thus to dispense with the project to reduce the interest on rentes. Commercial Cable Extenalons. London.
