BRYAN'S THIRST FOR GLORY Trae InwudnM of the Detl to Make I'm Colonel of a Begiment. BISCHOF SLAUGHTERED TO MAKE A PLACE Hotcoah , Bryan > n < Ho nenbnr V Cook Up the Schrmr and Put tk Knife Into Another Officer. LINCOLN , May 13. ( Special Telegram. ) It has been discovered that the scheme to raise a regiment officered and controlled by popocraU IB the result of a conspiracy entered - tered Into between Governor Holcorab , Mr. Bryan and Lieutenant Stotsenburg almost a month ago. When the call for volunteers * aa made It was arranged that a third regl- raent should be created and that Bryan hould be 1U colonel. In order to make this plan work one of the colonels of the two old regiments would tave to be disposed of and Colonel Dlschot was picked out for dismissal. This was to make room for General Bills , and thus leave the way clear for Bryan's appointment as colonel. Ilad Blschof been left In command of the Second regiment then Bills would -liave been left behind to organize the new regiment. It was to avoid this that Blschof was slaughtered. It was openly talked at the state house a few days before the mob- filiation of the state troops that the colonel of the Second would fall In the physical examination. Having no real desire to go to war Bryan did not demand to be ap pointed as colonel of the Second , preferring to get a reputation In the newspapers as the organizer of a new regiment. llrnvjIlnln. .

WASHINGTON , May 19. There appears to be a mistaken Impression touching the attitude our government has assumed In the matter of the German merchant steamer Polaria. now at Key West awaiting permis sion to cross the blockade lines Inlo Havana harbor.

I Aa to Ihe British correspondent , Mr. Knight , who Is awaiting permission to enter i Havana , passing the blockade on a neutral 'ship , our government Is under certain | obligations to htm by reason of his efforts , : to arrange for an exchange of prisoners.

CLOSING WORK OF ANNUAL COUNCIL fop the Ycnr nnd to Hi * Krn rnl Conncll Chniivn After n Clone Competition nnd Muny Ballot * . Yesterday closed the thirty-first annual session of the diocesan council of the Protestant - testant Episcopal church of Nebraska , The founding ot a diocesan house at Lin coln with the triple object ot training young men In the practical work of the priesthood , giving them the opportunity to acquire an education and spreading the Influence of the church , occupied the greater portion ot the morning session. The committee to which It had been referred , reported favor ably * Rev. John Williams opposed the Idea under the conception lhat It would require funds now used for olher purposes , notably , J200 now given SI. Luke's of Lincoln. Rev. H. Percy Silver slated that the plan comprehended no such procedure ; that no appropriations would be asked or expected I and that the houce was Intended to be self- supporting. From Lincoln to Omaha there Is but one Episcopalian service and the idea | waa to send the young men to such towns or districts as are unable to support a perma- i nent priest to preach. He held that they I would receive sufficient contributions to pay their expenses. After considerable debate a committee consisting of Rev. H. Percy Silver , Rev. I. R. Johnson and Rev. W. S. Howard was appointed to consider ways and means for its foundation. This action in sures the undertaking. The report of the secretary of the Bishop Clarkson Memorial hospital showed lhat during the year 272 patients had been treated , of which seventy-two were charity I j , patients ; amount received , { 6,751.54 ; dls- I ! bursemenls , 16,350.13. A plea was made that i I more children be received. In line with the i original purpose of the founder. A cordial | 'vole ' I of thanks and appreciation for the work ( ' of the Institution was passed. EleotluK Their Officer * . The afternoon was devoted largely to bal- otlng for various officers. The results of the lections were as follows : Depulles lo Ihe ; eneral conference at New York : Clergy Rev. John Williams , Rev. H. Silver , Rev. Canon Doherty and Rev. Dean Fair ; lay Messrs. Rlngwalt , Woolworlh , Collins and McAllister ; supple mentary clergy Canons Whltmarsh , Bur gess , Pattee and Wallson ; lay General Dandy , Messrs. Walsh , Chase and Lavldge. Slanding commlllee : Clergy Rev. Canon Doherly , Rev. Dean Fair and Rev. John Wll- lams ; tally Judge Woolworth , Messrs. C. M. liyman and H. J. Walsh. Committee on church extension and mis sions : General Dandy , Captain Palmer , T. L. Rlngwalt , B. A. McAllister and F. B. Thomas. Committee on diocesan house at Lincoln : Rev. I. H. Johnson. Rev. C. 0. Howard and Rev. H. P. Silver. The general conference deputies were lected only after numerous ballots , the iionor being a coveted one. A little church politics also crept In. Deputy Montgomery cast the first stone that rippled the usual placidity of Ihe council by a wlihdrawal speech In which he asserted things were being run In the Interest of a certain fac tion. Rev. Dean Fair disclaimed all knowl edge of such conditions. Several members sprang up , but Rev. John Williams assumed his usual control in crises and the troubled waters became calm. A strong Cuban resolution endorsing Pres ident McKinley and praying for the estab lishment of a stable and God-fearing govern ment upon the "unhappy Isle" was intro duced and called forth many patriotic utter ances. Snlnry for the Secretary. The office of registrar waa abolished and the duties ot that office placed upon the sec retary. A salary of JJ50 was voted the sec retary. This combined action effects a yearly saving of $300. The cathedral rooms In the Arlington block were a subject of lengthy discussion. It was voted that the diocese cease the self- imposed payment of a portion of the rent therefor and the proffer ot rooms for the bishop's office In the parish house ot Trinity was 'instructed to be made to the bishop. Havelock mission was admitted to the council. A vote of sympathy with Bishop Worthington - ington on his illness was passed. On motion ot Rev. I. H. Johnson two ur gent resolutions for the stirring up of de linquent parishes were passed. He bad urged that such be denied the privilege of voting for a bishop In the future , but after considerable discussion the motion was tabled. Lay Deputy Phelps , of Schuyler , gave the clergy a mild lecture on their du ties in the matter. Moner Pledged for Mlmlona. Two thousand dollars waa pledged to mis sions , with many parishes yet to be heard from. Of , this amount Trinity contributed $1.000 , $900 from the men and $100 from the women. C. M. Lyman was unanimously re-elected treasurer. A note of thanks to the' women ot the parish who entertained the council was passed viva voce. On motion of Rev. John Williams twelve pages of the journal were striken out and 300 copies ordered printed , preferably by churchmen. Rev. Doherty , appointed David C. Paltee canon to take the place of Canon Doyle and J. E. Smith , of Beatrice , members of Cathe dral chapter. The question of a coadjutor bishop re ceived llllle attention in the open council , the letter of Bishop Worthlngton apparently giving the mailer a quietus. There never theless exits a strong feeling , restrained only by the fact that the diocese Is not now able to pay the salary attached to that post , that such an official would be ot very great benefit to the diocese.

PASSES PEACEFULLY IXTO REST. Story of Glndntone'a Denth Prepnred by Hl Children. Copyright , 1838 , br Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , May 19. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The fol- owlng family record of Gladstone's Illness and death , drawn up by his three sons , Rev. Stephen , Henry and Herbert Gladstone , to gether with his three daughters engaged in he case , has been furnished me from Hawarden : "Although at an early stage In Mr. Glad- tone's long and painful Illness the possi bility of the grave Insidlousness of the disease waa entertained and discussed , the remarkably favorable course of the outward rouble during the first part of his visit to Cannes led to a reasonably sanguine view of his ultimate restoration to health. The ontlnuance of severe neuralgic pain and the pread of the disease from one nerve to an other led to grave anxiety , however , though t was not until Gladstone was at Bourne mouth that the local developments of the llsease occurred to indicate ita true nature. The announcement of the fatal character of : he malady was a source of great comfort o Mr. Gladstone , worn as he waa with suf- 'ering ' and distress. There was no question of resigning himself to the Inevitable , but rather of a fervent desire to be at peace. "For some time before this he had been iving up his ordinary habits of life one by one. After his return to Hawarden at the end of March this feature became more marked. His strenglh failed , though within a month of the end he came down to din ner every night. The altered views of Mr. tladstone's Illness brought altered views as o his treatment , and It was now considered ustlflable to endeavor to relieve the severe lain that had been so constant a feature of .he early months by Ihe most potent meas ures. These were so far successful on the return of his suffering as to greatly assuage t. but he still had fitful twinges of some severity. Gradually , wilh his waning strength , the pain became less and less , anc Tor quite a fortnight- ' before his death hardly ever made Itself felt. "Though he ceased to rome downstairs April IS Mr. Gladstone Kot/aip for an hour or two every day and lay on the sofa in his room. Tha event of th"5 sliort walk told Its tale of diminishing power-In the Increasing feebleness of his sleps.L rtn May 12 he was noticed to be very mutJh'rtred by this exer tion , and his circulation'which had been wonderfully well presepved up to that time showed signs of grave disturbance the nex : day. This was so much marked that It waa decided to keep him Viltlrtly In bed lest syncope might occur. tWh'at only had been foreshadowed up to thte Hme , namely , that be would die of Increasing infirmity of his years and not his illn&rainor Its complica tions , waa now apparent.fJ He waa conflnei to his bed without pald { taking nourishmen at Intervals , his heart falHg lltlle by little "Gladstone's end grew' nppreclably nearei and nearer. Once or twice1 It seemed like ) ; to come sooner than was eventually the case , but on Tuesday morning. May .16. 1 waa evident that life was ebbing very fast He was asked about this time by one of hi. attendants If he had any pain. He replied 'Oh. no , I am quite comfortable ; I am enl ] waiting , only waiting. ' "Nor did he have long to wait. The las three days he waa scarcely conscious ex cept when roused to take a spoonful or tw of nourishment. He lay very quiet am restful. He ceased making to those aroum him the acknowledgments that were so dea to them , but during his last days he waul often say ; 'Kindness , klndneea , kindness nothing but kindness on every aide. ' "Tuesday he waa too weak to talk co herently or audibly. The warning given by these symptoms bad been sufficiently athp'lf to allow ot his relative * being summoned , and all those Immediate with him were present to the last. At 3 30 Wednesday morning he seemed to b very near the end and the family gathered around his bed. He rallied , however , toward 6 o'clock and lay fluctuating between death and life. "The next twenty-four hours he remained on his back , being too weak to turn , but moving his arm from time to time or re turning the pressure of his hand. His breathing was Irregular , his hands chilly , his lips and cheeks tinged with a cyanlllc line. Peace , perfect peace , was lined In every feature. There was a slight temporary Im provement on the morning of the ISth. His breathing became steadier and Ihe duskiness In his face was replaced by a more natural color. He roused a little on being spoken to and an occasional glimmer ot consciousness was shown once or twice by some slight change of expression or barely articulated recognition at some trivial attention from those he loved. "He remained until 2:30 o'clock Thursday morning , when a change took place lhat made It obvious that the end was very near. Reverently , on bended knees , prayers were offered up and his favorite hymns read. At 4:50 : o'clock the pallor of death and a few labored respirations led to the recital of a commendatory prayer. Before It was finished , quietly and peacefully Mr. Gladstone passed away. " SYMPATHY FIIOM U.MTED STATES. Vice Prexhlent Hotmrt SfienkH Feel- Inwlr < > tlir Ocrnnlitti.

All the papers are out with special editions In heavily leaded Borders , announcing the death of Mr. Glad- tone.

Mr. Gladstone la dead , and all his ife lies in the past , a memory to us and our children , an inspiration and possession for ever. The end has come as unto a soldier at his best.

It Is Impossible at this hour to survey the mighty range of this splendid life. We would assign to him the title , "the grea nationalist of the nineteenth century. " To Italy , Greece , Bulgaria , Montenegro and Belgium his name Is hallowed , but. be yond all , we claim him as the patron , the greatest of modern builders ot England fie was a lion among men and endowed with a granite strength of will and purpose rare ncleed In our age of feeble convictions. The Dally News says : We cannot help dwelling upon the opinions which Mr. Gladstone held mos strongly , and the sentiments which he fel most deeply , because they are the only key which unlocks his character and hi life. One of his most characteristic qual Hies was his personal humility. This cannot notbe explained without the key , for Mr Gladstone did not. In the ordinary meaning of the word , underrate himself. He was not easy to persuade. He paid little at tentlon to other people's opinion when hi mind was made up. He was qulle awar ot his own ascendancy in council aal hi supremacy In debale. On other questions he did Indeed dlstrus hU own judgment. On politics he did not but the secret of his humility was an abid ing sense that these things were ot 1m portance compared with the relations be tween God's creatures and their creator. Mr. Gladstone once said , with character istic candor , that he had a vulnerabl temper. He was quickly moved to indlgna tlon by what , he thought Injustice to him self or others , and was Incapable of con ceallng bis emotions , for If be said noth lug bis countenance showed what he felt. More expressive features were never give to man. Mr. Gladstone's exquisite courtesy , which In and out of Parliament , was a model fo all , proceeded from the same source. It was essentially Christian. To consider him apart from religion would b like considering Tennyson apart from poetry , or Darwin apart from science. HI * religion , though It did not make him gloomy , made him habitually serloutl. Hence arose the fiction that he had no humor. This curious delusion seems to have arisen from the undoubted fact that he could never be Induced to laugh at anything In decent or profane , but he waa a master ot Irony , and could be exttemely and even ilttcrly sarcastic. Moreover nobody laughed more heartily over an ancedote that was eally good. Different people , unless they saw htm ften , got very different Ideas of him. He waa many men In one , but be Impressed ill alike with the essential greatness ot its character. He was built mentally and morally on a arge icjile. Ot course. It cannot be denied hat Mich a face , such a voice , such natural Ignlty , and such perfect gesture produced n themselves an Immense effect. Mr. Gladstone's genius glowed through ilm and Inspired all he said. There was lothlng commonplace about him. Even If le said common things , he could not say hem In an ordinary way. In this he re- embted Lord Chatham , but Chatham a reat man If ever there was one acted his mrt. Mr. Gladstone was absolutely simple , nd his simplicity waa not the least at- ractlve clement of his fascinating per- onallty. The London Chronicle In Its editorial on Hailstone says : His life presented a case ot charm lo all minds. His learning captivated the scholar , its eloquence and statesmanship the poll- tclan , his financial genius the business man , while his domestic relations and Iniple human graclousness appealed to all [ earls. Beneath the editorial Is the following quo tation In leaded type : There Is a prince and a great man fallen his day In Israel. The Standard says : Whether men agreed with him or differed rom him In matters of party politics they ould not come within the range of his In- [ uence as an administrator without being profoundly impressed alike with his e.xtrn- rdlnary powers of dlspalchlns business most efficiently and his absolute devotion to vhat he believed to be the highest Interests f his country.

A member ot the cabinet , in the course of a eng Interview , says ; It Is difficult to find words adequate lo express one's feelings at such an event. Disappearance of such a central figure Is a remendous loss. In Parliament and throughout the country bis Influence over our public life was unparalleled. Lord George Hamilton said : What impressed me most in Mr. Gladstone was his extraordinary moral influence , espe cially in converting the House of Commons .o accept his home rule bill. Nothing but his personal Influence could have achieved so much in the face of Insuperable difficul ties. I doubt whether there ever was a > arllamenlarian who equaled him In his ilgh standard. His dramatic aptitude and quick adaptability as an orator made him equal to any emergency. Sir Charles Dllke , radical , member for the Forest of Dean , said : Mr. Gladstone's leading personal charac teristic was old-faihloned courtesy , while as a stalesman it was his absolute mastery of finance , both In principle and detail , a mastery which waa Incomparable and su perior to that of any of his contemporaries. Mr. Henry Laboucbere , editor of Truth and liberal member for Northampton , said : What impressed me most was his power of concentrated effort. Once he had decided on a course of action , every thought waa bent to attain the end. No duty was lee arduous. He waa animated by his sup porters and opponents. Inspiring the former with his own fierce energy , while If he could not gain over the latter he crushed them. It was to this grim determination that he owed most of his success. Mr. James Bryce. liberal membar for South Aberdeen and author of the "American Commonwealth , " said : I cannot recall any other similar case In English history the whole nation followed the sunsetttng of a life with so much sym pathy and regret. Mr. John Redmond , Parnelllte member of Parliament for Waterford , said : The loss to England Is absolutely Incalcu lable. Englishmen of all parties should be grateful for his services in promoting the prosperity of the empire.
