BISCHOF SLAUGHTERED TO MAKE A PLACE

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.

lenced their fleet About the middle ol

Manila says : "The other day a panic was

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. Its case Is not exceptional , Inas
much as the government gave Its consent
only to the landing In Havana of certain
passengers on the steamer who boarded It
i i | at Hamburg , Germany , April 6 last , some j
J I time before the outbreak of war between i
the United Stales and Spain and long before
the Issue of the declaration of war. The
president's proclamation of the blockade
'contemplated i thn exemption from Inlerfer-
, ence of foreign vessels cleared before the ,
| | i date of proclamation , nnd In conformity to
the general principle of the State department - j
ment oaw no reason why passengers shipped
under such conditions as those on the
Polaria at Hamburg should be prevented
' from continuing their journey.
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.
These efforts , by the way , have succeeded.
Colonel Cortljo and Surgeon Julian are to
be exchanged for the newspaper men. Thrall
!
i and Jones , now In Morro castle , as Is in-
j dlcated by Ihe following telegram to the
Stale department from Mr. Gollln , British
consul at Havana :
All arranged. You can send prisoners at
once. Please wire me day and hour of
departure from Key West and probable
arrival off Havana. Immediately flag Is
discerned Spanish steamer with Thrall and
Jones will set out to meet and exchange.
Promptly upon Ihe receipt of Ihe informa
tion by the State department. Secretary
Alger signed an order directing the comI
mandtng general of the Department of the
Gulf to have prisoners Cortljo and Julian
laken to Key West and turned over to the
ommandant of the naval station there for
urther orders. Accompanied by a guard'
he two men will be taken to Tampa and

ments will be made for the trip to Havana
and the subsequent exchange.

DIOCESE HOUSE AT LINCOLN
Episcopal Church jecidea on a Training
Home for Young Priests.
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.

Cola said ; "Gladstone's dealh Is a loss
lo all humantly. Politics and literature
were Incarnate In him. Apart from all
questions of opinion he was just such a
leader of men as I have sighed for In
France , an Intellectual man and a ruler In
one. "
M. Edouard Lockroy. er-mlnlster of ma
rine : "He was the greatest contemporary
stalesman and valiant chieftain amongst
the leaders of the liberal classes. His te
nacity was shown In his home rule policy.
His most recent public act was splendidly
typical of his Illustrious career. Through
Is mouth true men In the civilized world
poke against the horrors and butchery
erpelraled by Turkey during the Arme-
lan massacres. A politician and scholar ,
Gladstone embodied In himself and his life
he manhood of this century. "
M. Magnln , vice president But I have
ver been his deep admirer. His financial
mind was proof of his tremendous versatil-
ty. I consider that for the monetary Inter-
sis of Ihe nation Gladstone was prlnceps.
\.nd what a life of integrity. Gladstone
ould not be sordid or even materially Inter-
sled , yet over against this he held the
nancial handle of Ihe world.
M. Clemenceau When such a force passed
way from Ihe ranks of civilized humanlly
11 those who are engaged In this confused
truggle against evil cannot but feel thera-
elve3 vaker. . Justice never suffered by rea-
on of his vlclorles. Europe , which rings
vllh Ihe sound of arms , could 111 afford loose
ese this man of peace , and his place will not
eon be filled.
Pere Hlnacynthe Gladstone was a staunch
'artisan ' of Catholicism without Ihe papacy ,
believe I am In a position lo say he would ,
Ike Dante , have accepled Ihe papacy Itself
n the day of Its full reconciliation with Ihe
plrit of gospel and with the rights ot slate.
Prof. Lombroso It Is easy to govern with
iayonels and blood. To govern without
raud and violence and to defend the great
ness of state while at the same time seek-
ng to always lift humanity as a whole
oward a new Ideal , this Is the true mark of
greatness In a modern s ate.&man , or I should
ay of the statesmen 05 , tho. future , for I see
no one at this momeqt , who rises to lhat
itandard as Gladstone dicl-j.
Francis Kossuth As.jan ; orator and lover

such a career has heen giucessfu ! is highly
creditable to a country where it waa able
to succeed. Future , history will certainly

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. "

"The whole American people will learn

[ Is dealh Is well nigh a national calamity
or us and has occurred at a time when our

LONDON. May ID. All the papers are out

with a quotation from Wordsworth :

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.

LONDON , May 19. Public opinion Is
tlrred by Ihe dealh of Mr. Gladstone. 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.
