None the Worse for His Speech in the House of Commons Saturday
London, Feb. 12.—Mr. Gladstone's friends were much opposed to his speaking in the House yesterday, as they wished him to save his strength for to-morrow. Their fears that he would exhaust himself, however, were groundless, for to-day Mr. Gladstone was feeling as well as ever, went to church twice, and had the usual appetite. Thirty-seven questions which are to come up in the House are likely to delay the introduction of the home-rule bill. The whips are urging the members to postpone their questions until later, so that Mr. Gladstone may be able to begin his speech as early as 4 o'clock. There is every prospect that a great street demonstration will be made during Mr. Gladstone's progress from his home to Westminster. In expectation of this demonstration a special police escort has been detailed to accompany Mr. Gladstone from Downing street to the House of Commons.
