The star eveut of tLe day was the meeting of Kingston and Tenny, at even weights, in the Ocean stakes, and everybody looked to see the Dwyer horse defeat Tenny. as the latter was meeting him at his favorite- distance one and one-eighth mile. This opinion was not borne out by the race, however. Tenny jumped away in the front at the start, and was soon leading by two lengths. This advantage he held until the stretch was reached, when Hamilton, on Kingston, began to ride his mount, and, by dint of hard worg. got as far as Tenny's saddle. At the head of the grandhtand Hamilton went to the whip, but it was of no avail, as McLaughlin let oat the pull he had on Tenny, who won in a gallop by four lengths, Amid the wildest enthusiAsm.

WILLIAM ULNKY GLADSTONE DEAD. Eldest Sou of the Great English Statesman The Latter stricken with GrteC London'. July 4. Mr. William Henry Glaistone, eldest son of the Right Hon. Willi am E wart Gladstone, the great English fitatesrnan, died this morning. For some time past he had been scfleriiig from brain disease and from paralysis of tho right side. The physician who has been in attendance on him performed an operation on Thursday last upon his patient. The physician, as a result of the operation, removed a tumor which had been pressing upon Mr. Gladstone. The patient, however, sank rapidly after the tumor had been removed. Mrs. Gladstone, Misa Gladstone and the deceased's two brothers, Herbert and Stephen, were present at his death, whicfi occurred at the residence of Lord Blantyre. bis wife's father. No. 41 Berkely square, west . The postoflice at Lowestoft, where Mr. W.' K. Gladstone has been recuperating, was kept open all night in order to keep the veteran statesman informed as to his eldest son's condition. Mr. Gladstone was desirous of leaving Lowestoft for London so soon as he heard of the danger which threatened his son. but the physicians in attendance upon the Liberal leader prevailed upon him to stay at the seaside. Dispatches were exchanged throughout tho night between Mr. Gladstone) aud his family, and at 8 o'clock this morning Mr. Gladatone left Lowestoft for Loudon, being summoned to the sutlerer's bedside by the intelligence that the worst might be expected. Unhappily. Mr. Gladstone reached this city too late to be present at his son's death. Mr. Gladstone's grief npon reaching the death chamber wus really terrible in its intensity; so much so that, combined with his enfeebled health and advanced years, his relatives and friends feel anxious as to the result. William Henry Gladstone was born at Hawarden, Flintshire, In 1840; was educated at Christ Church, Oxford; entered Parliament in 1n, representing Chester; eat for Whitby from 1N'9 to 1670, aud subsequently represented East Worcestershire. He was a lord of the treasury from liu to 1K74. and was a deputy lieutenant and justice of the peace for Flintshire at the time of his death. Of recent years Mr. -W. H. Gladstone had lived practically in retirement. He was married ialb65to the Hon. Lady Gertrude, third daughter of Bsron Blantyre, a representative peer for Scotland. m TO COLONIZE PALESTINE.

A series of meetings have been held during the week in all the large cities throughout England by the branches of the society for the promotion of this object. It is proposed to raise a permanent fund, with the intention of lending a helping hand to those who are ready to co-operate with the committee by settling in Palestine. Dr. Paul F riedman. a wealthy Hebrew,; of London, said to-day; "From time to time the puDlio is reminded that while Palestine has been neglected and deserted for centuries, and its ruined cities aud manv valleys where once abundautly flourished the olive, and the vine, and the fig. are desolate wildernesses, yet there are lew countries which otter better fields for the expenditure of capital and enterprise' in agricultural industry. It is true that some parts of the Holy Land are hopelessly arid and stony, but the plains of Lebanon, Sharon and Esdraelon are peculiarly well adapted for agricultural settlers, and to these districts the earliest etl'orts of the English society will be turned. The rule ot the lurk has involved the almost unchecked terrorism of the freebooter, aud without the assured protect on of the law agriculture could not prosper, even in the districts where everything else is in its favor. "The natural advantages of the country are, however, incontestible. If its political circumstances were as good, there would be no reason why colonization should not be as successful in Palestine as in Canada or the United States. Labor is cheap, the land is naturally fertile and the country in some districts in exceedingly rich in pastures. The cultivation ot the olive, orange, apricot and fig can be carried on under exceptionally favorable circumstances, and the opening up of good roads has already proved remunerative and highly beneficial to the country. "But no such echeme of colonization will succeed m making Palestine once more a land flowing with milk and honey which does not first make the cultivation of the land its chief object. It would not be suf ficient to make Jerusalem a busy commercial center. The railway will do something in that direction, and. in any case, it is quite certain that crowds of tourists will turn to the sacred city, now that access to it is made easy. Bnt if the land is to be restored by or for the benefit either of the Jews or any other colonists. the emigrants must settle there with a de termination to make the land itself pro ductive and to win it back to fertility by the moans that have proved so effective in America. Australia and South Africa.' A large number of foreign Jews are settling down in different parts of Palestine. The9 settlers have hitherto been generously assisted by the Rothschilds, but arrange ments are now being made to put the movement on a broader basis." WANE OF THE tnURCII PARTY. Little Strength in House of Commons Since It Int Gladstone's Support. ICopyrighted, laal, by the United Press. London, July 4. The weakness of the church party in the House of Commons i9 causing serious apprehensions in high ecclesiastical circles, and it is openly admitted that the tactics of the opponents of the deceased wife's sisters marriage bill have given a moral victory to the promoters of the measure. Tho truth is that, now that the church, in the sense of the old-fashioned church and state party, has lost the support of Mr. Gladstone, it has no man of the first rank in the House of Commons to lead it: and. although the majority of the Conservatives are nominally churchmen, they are politicians first and churchmen afterward. This hs been clearly proved by the attitude of the party over the education question, and the general feeling of the more astute ecclesiastics is that it will be wiser, for some time to come, to keep church questions, as far as ) possible, out of the parliamentary arena. Iven on the Episcopal bench itself there is a growing tendency to consider expediency rather than principle in dealinir with these church matters, and the Archbishop of Canterbury will, as a rule, be found oa what is, politically, the winning side. The approaching International Council of Congregationalists is ' likely to witness a pleasant interchange of Christian courtesies, the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of England and the Assembly of the Baptist Union having appointed deputations to attend the council with fraternal messages. The invitation of the English committee on arrangements to the other free churches, including the various Methodist bodies, thn Presbyterian churches (Free and United Presbyterian! of Scotland and the Calvinistic Methodists of Wales, to appoint each two visiting members has been cordially accepted. Arrangements have been completed to give the American delegates who

are on hoard th Citv of Chicago, which

London, July 4. The Prince of Wales and the government feel greatly relieved at the action which Mr. Gladstone has taken daring the 'past few days. Although he himself has been at Lowestoft, his influence in London has been greatly felt. The Liberal leader has been very active in persuading his colleagues to give their virtual support to the compromise on free education which Sir William Hart Dyke recently propounded. He has been almost comically entree tic in defense, for the present, of the voluntary- schools and . of voluntary action generally, though he has said nothing as to the policy which be himself would adopt if he had to deal with the question. Especially, he wished the bill carried at onco in order to avoid the raising of embarrassing complications. On the baccarat case he has been less emphatic, but quite as powerful. He has probably succeeded in preventing the more violent members of bis party from insisting npon tb? criminal prosecution of Sir William Gordon dimming and those who nndoubtetly compounded a crime. If Mr. Gladstone's moderating influence had not been felt thfcie would have been trouble in the House of Commons, for it would have been impossible to discuss the criminal side of the case and the Prince of Wales's action in the matter without raising passions which are better allowed to sleep. Russia About to Abolish Trial by Jury. ' London, July 4. An important movement is imminent in Russia in the shape of the abolition of trial by jury. This form of trial has never been much of an obstruction in the way of despotio government, as an acquitted person, who in the opinion of the authorities ought to have been convicted, is quietly seized and deported, whither nobody knows, and nobody dares to inquire. Hut the moral effect of undesired verdicts has sometimes, been annoying. It is proposed to put an end to all this by sweepiug the jury system out of existence, and also by substituting, in place of the jnry, a staff of judges appointed by the judicial administration, and whose decisions will be strictly a register of the official will. . Objects to the Copyright Law. London. July 4. The Post regrets the loss of valuable time in the omission of Parliament to pass an act in reprisal for the American copyright act. It says: "All concerned in printing and allied trades will watch the results this autumn and winter with anxiety. If they find the country Hooded with works of English authors printed in America perhaps flaccid publio opinion will have stiffened up to decisive action in the next session. It is worthy of noted that Germany and Spain are not mentioned in President Harrison's proclamation, though both German and Spanish are living languages in America." Good Crops Will Kill Free Coinage. London. Jnly 4. The News, in its financial article, to-day. gives the opinion of a leading American financier visiting London to the eflect that the prospective large crops and good prices in America will so enlarge business that there need be no fear of an early lapse to silver as a standard. The News coincides with this opinion, and says that this view is proved by the forwarded prices of grain and cotton in America. Influenced by American Newspaper. Rome, Jnly 4. The comments of the American press on the Cahensly scheme of national bishops, etc, in America made a f rofound impression at the Vatican.

Arrival of the Cruiser Charleston and the Chilhn Insurgent Steamer Itatx SanDiego, Cat. July 4. The Chilian transport Itata and the United States cruiser Charleston arrived in port at 9:S0 this morning, direct from Iquique. The Itata entered ' the harbor and anchored in the channel. while the Charleston remained butsido the head. The Itata was at once boarded by revenue officers. The Itata and Charles ton came direct from Iquique, being out twenty-three days. - Wnen off the Coronado Hotel about a mile, the Charleston let go her anchors and the Itata steamed into the bay. At ten o'clock she reached the identical anchorage from which she eloped so sensationally some time ago with the United States marshal on board. The wharves werf soon crowded with people, all anxious to get a look at the vessel, and the bay was (lotted in every direction with sailing crafts of all descriptions. Aw soon as possible. officer Churchill, in charge of the vessel, came ashore and telegraphed his refort to tho department at Washington. Tho tata came in flying the Chilian nag. covered with bunting in honor of the day, and carrying as officers and crew the same men who manned her when she left so suddenly. with the exception of ttilva 1'alma. com mander of the Esmeralda, and two orthreo of his officers who assisted the Itata to get out on her last visit brought her ia. There is no prize crew, the Charleston having simply put an officer on board and con voyed her up, leaving navigation to the original crew under Military Commander Teiede nd Captain Mauzeam. The vessels came direct from Chili and made an average of between eight and nine knots. The Itata's machinery, which was said to have been purposely damaged by the insurgents, is declared to have worked admirably until the last two or three days of the journey. Arrangements were immediately made to turn the vessel over to the proper United States authorities, lne Charleston, it is understood, will remain outside until Monday to engage in target practice, bat will then come into the harbor. While lying at her anohorage about a mile west of the Coronado, the Charleston was visited by hundreds of people in steam tugs and sailing vessels, and train loads of people came in to-night from Los Angeles, San Bernardino and intermediate points to see the two vessels.

"I never knew what really first-class cake and pastry was until I boarded one summer with a fa.ni ly where a wealthy and retired baker and confectioner was an occasional caller. The bread, pastry and cake wero delicious, and while enjoying them 1 asked some questions about the processes of making them. One of the secrets of their excellence was in keeping the ingredients perfectly dry. The Hour was kept in a barrel whioh rested on a rack or frame, which admitted the air freely underneath it. For immediate nse a small boxful carefully bitted was kept ou a shelf high up on the wall of the kitchen. The air here was always dry and warm, and the Hour was like dust. The baking-powder was home-made and all of the ingredients were perfectly dried before mixing, which is of the utmost importance. Much of .tho success of homemade baking-powder defends on this. Soda is often quite damp when bought, and if mixed with the cream tarter, the moisture will cause a certain amount of effervescence, which destroys a portion of the life of baking-powder. Those who claim that home-made powder ia of no rs!a have no doubt been careless in mixing tho articles of which it is composed."

CANNOT AGREE ON TERMS. StableHiCn Want the Street-Car Company to DLicharca the New Men Strike ProUtle.

The 6 tat us of the street-car company's differences with its old stablemen was made very uncertain yesterday by an interview between the Central Labor Union committee and President Fowler and Superintend- ' cut Steele. The latter gentleman stated they could not accept the compromise offered by the Stablemen's Union. This) was SI. 40 a day of ten hours and dismissal of those employed to take the places of tho strikers. Instead Mr. Fowler agreed to pay the old men $1.5 a day of ten hours, record them as "extras'' and treat them fairly in reinstating them in their positions as fast as needed or vacancies occur. To removing the new men Mr. Fowler objected, because it would b& unjust to men who helped the company in a critical time. The committee replied that these men, having taken work in place ot the regular force, expected their terms of service to be temporary, and that no injury would be done them. The union stablemen, on the point of returning to the company an a body, bad made their ultimatum. Mr. Fowler did not say that bis proposition was final, but said it was the most favorable hsj would then ofiVr. The committee reported to the Stablemen's Union last night without recommendation as to what action -should be taken. The union refused to accept theofleron account , of the terms of reinstatement. It is probable that the rate of wages would be taken if the men could all go back to work at once, "The situation now," said D. F. Kennedy last night, "is such that 1 hardly eea how a strike can be prevented. The brotherhood is pledged to stand by the) stablemen and are for certain reasons extremely anxious that the tlitficnlty ba settled. It would not have availed any thing if the company had ottered the stablemen (1.50 a day, if tho terms as to reinstatement were the same. Many of tha men would never be taken back, such as those who led to organization and advised in all the benefits accruing. The brotherhood committee met President Fowler yesterday and informed him that it would not accept the new schfdule o tie red last week, and that it would expect to treat with tha , company on or about the loth of thisr-' month for an advance in wages The committee will meet with Mr. Fowler again today, and the stablemen's trouble will, no doubt, be discussed. To a Journal reporter, last niuht. Mr. Fowler expressed the hope. that the troubles would all be satisfactorily adjusted. "I came here to-day." faid he, - "on my regular weekly visit, and will stay over to-morrow to meet some of the men. As regards the stablemen, 1 believe there are some equities due to men who came into our employ when, the old men left us. Have I made a final offer to the old nient That is a leading question. I have nothing new to tell you. ubout the trouble.' Mr. Fowler, it will be observed, avoided saying he had made his ultimatum. In that point, it is thought, lies the only alternative of a strike, which will occur tomorrow, if at all. If it does it will tie up the whole street-railway system of tho oity. Arsenic iu the Stomach. Coroner Manker yesterday received a report from city Chemist Latz concerning aa analysis of the stomach of Mrs. Taylor, whose body was recently exhumed. Tha chemist stated that he found a quantity of arsenic in the stomach, sufficient to produce death, but the coroner says it is not impossible the presence of the poison is due to a fluid that had bocn used in embalming tho body. It was also found that tho stomach was badly ulcerated, Tho coroner will therefore await further developments before taking tho matter to the grand jury, lie has informed Mrs. John Dorsey, a daughter of Mrs. Taylor, that she is suspected of having administered the poison. She denies it. however, in the most positive) terms, but eho can oiler no explanation as to how her mother and sister, Mrs. Wright, could have taken poison. A Fire iu a Cellar.

Chief Webster expressed the belief that this last lire was of incendiary origin. t Took Money from Him. W. C.

As is well known, the Gurkhas inhabit the hill districts of Nepaul which separato that kingdom from our northern territory. They are a mixed race (except the western tribes, who are the best fighting men), and aresupposedto be the descendants of Hindu refugees who lied from before the Mussulman invasion and the Mongol tribes inhabiting the Nepaulese bills. Be that as it may, their physiognomy is of an unmistakably Chinese or Tartar character, with small eyes, fiat noses and meager whiskers. They are sturdily built, but in stature are very shorL Tho average height of a Gburka soldier cannot be much over five feet three inches. It is true that in England a diminutive stature is apt to be accompanied by a diminutive chest, but still 1 am not sure that too much importance is not attached iu these days to the height standard. I remember a Crimean veteran telling me his experience. He was only live feet four inches, and had great difficulty in being accented as a recruit, but as he was of sturdy build, an exception was made in his favor. 1 quote his own picturesque language: "While it was peace, I was always id away in the. renter of the rear rank aud kep' out of sight as much as possible; but when we come to the Crimea 1 never missed an hour's duty the 'ole time, and did tha work of many a tall man dead or sick, and at Inkerman a bullet went through the 'air. of my 'ead, which if I 'ad been au inch 'igber it would have gone through my 'ead.' Whether it is fighting hand-to-hand with the bayonet or with his national weapon, the kukri, a murderous-looking curved knife, with the sharp edge on the inside like a sickle, or at long range with the modern arms of precision, it is all one to the Gurkha, and he thoroughly enjoys himself either charging or skirmishing. These kukris in their bands are formidable weapons: with them they can bisect goats or decapitate a bullock, and, of course, can use them on the human body with equal eilect. In one of our frontier expeditious the Pathans wero retreating up the hill-side, pursned by eome Gurkhas. One of them, the smallest man iu his regiuient, got above the track by which the enemy were retreating, and crouched behind a rock, and on a tall Patban stopping just below him to lire, sprang out at him. and. as related to me by an eye-witness, cut his bead in two like a pumpkin. Another cye-witucss told mo that in tho mutiny he saw some Sepoys take refuge in a house, and a little Gurkha crouch down by a window, watching for his opportunity like a cat by a mouse-hole. After sonui waiting a Pandy put his head cautiously out to reconnoitre, but ho never drew it in again, the Gurkha having cut i tort with a single blow, ltmust be confessed that there in something of the savage in the Gurkha, and bis employment against a European enemy might be objected to by some oversensitive philanthropists, but. after all. if you are to bo killed in action it does not matter much whether your head Is sliced in two by a kukri or pierced by a bullet from a Marie 1 1 magaz!ue-ril!e, which, I suppose, may bo taken as the most civilized lethal weapon now before the public. The Gurkhas are Hindus in religion, but they are not always averse to alcoholio indulgence or to hobnobbing with their English comrades, and in more than one instance very close bonds of union eiist between British aud Gurkha regiment.
