HC Deb 24 May 1898 vol 58 c559
MR. SPEAKER

I have to inform the House that I have received two messages, one from the President of the Senate of the Argentine Republic, and the other from the President of the House of Representatives of that State. The one from the Senate is as follows:— I have the honour to communicate to the Speaker, the Senate of the Argentine ration, over which I preside, rose to its feet in honour of the great memory of William Ewart Gladstone, the glory of humanity, whose loss the whole world at this moment deplores, and who merits the homage of all the Parliaments of all the free nations of the world. The message from the President of the Chamber of Deputies is as follows: — The Chamber of Deputies of the Argentine nation shares in the feeling of profound and universal grief produced by the death of that eminent English citizen, William Gladstone. I think I may assume that the House would wish me in this case, as in the previous cases, to render a suitable acknowledgment.
