Press Associatlon-By Telegraph—Copyright.
London, January 31. Tbo Pall Mall Gazette says that Mr Gladstone intends to resign almoat immediately owing to. old age and disappointment at the failure of his Home Rule proposal. Later, Mr Gladstone denies that he has any intention of resigning, but admits the condition of his sight and hardness of hearing have long rendered relief from public cares desirable. February 1. Tlie Times thinks Mr Gladstone's plain admission of failing strength is serious, though the idea of his resignation is premature. The Daily Neivs minimises the reference to the state of bis health and accuses the Pall Mall Gazette of hoaxing the public. The Standard considers tbe nature of the Premier's denial mo.t damaging and discouraging to the Ministry.
