LONDON, Sept. 2J. (Now York World
Cablegram Speclnl Telegram.) A sensation
has boon caused hero by further rcvolatlons
ln connection with 'tho recent discovery
that tho Chamberlain, family owns tho firm
of Hosklns & Co., admiralty contractors.
It bfcamo known that the colonial secre
tary's son, Austen Chamberlain, Is a dl
rector und largo stockholder In tho concern
lu spltu of tho fact that ho holds' tho post
of civil lord of tho admiralty, and of thc
milled fact that tho Kngllsh law distinctly
provides that no member of tho House of
Commons may share In any contract with
tho government or derive any benefit there
from except ln cases of contracts with com
paules which consist of at least ten part
ners,
Tho penalty for vlolntlng this law Is a fine
of ilGOO ($2,500) for every day such member
sltH ln I'urllamout.
Tho holders of tho Hosklns stock are four
Chamberlains nnd n manager. It Is now
learned that tlvo clerks hold ono $50 share
each lu order to provide the ten partners
so that tho company can get government
contracts without Austeu Chamberlain In
currlng tho parliamentary penalties.

Joseph Chamberlain was ono of tho sixty
tlx candidates for l'nrliament returned to
day unopposed, Fifty-nlno of the sixty
six are ministerialists, tlvo liberals aud two
Irish nationalists.
I'hlllp Stanhope, tho president of tho
national reform union, touched Chamberlain
to tho quick by iv public statement regard
ing tho notorious Hawksloy documents and
Chamberlain's implication in tho Jameson
raid. Tho colonial secretary wired to
Wawksloy;
"Do not bo blackmailed by Stanhope or
nny ono else. Thero Is no cornpondenco
and novor has been to prove my complicity
In the raid, which I did my utmost to stop."
Mr. Stanlioio replied: "I will not Btoop to
qualify tho vulgarity of your langunge, but
I am prepared to substantial! In the courts
overy statement I havo mado concerning
you."
Mr. Chamberlain added rest to tho closo
of tho canvass In his speeches by holding

fAvor of the I nlted States as mediator
Mr. Wu has from the first urged that th
fnlted States should take a leading part
In tho settlement of tho peace negotla
Hons, nnd It Is from this point that Earl
LI takes tho position lit suggesting th
rnlted States as mediator. Th su?gos
Hon has eomo from such a high source
and tho minister expresses his confidence
of being ablo to secure any authority or
requests for an American Initiative which
may bo necessary.
In speaking of tho matter today Mr
Wu pointed out that while tho powers
mm lanen n position against the partition
of China, yet conditions might arise where
by one power would deem It exnedlcnt to
u-uW territory, mus leading other powers
to take a similar course and brlnelmc on

government would not only bo In the In

particularly in tho United States' own In

guarding of our avenues of trade lu tho
urient
This vlow of Earl U and Minister Wu
In favor of American mediation Is In no
way inspired by this government, but Is
entirely uue to mclr own vlow as to how
tho situation should bo dealt with.
inferring to tho return of the Imperial
Chinese government to I'ekln, Mr. Wu says
It (s a difficult undertaking so lomt as
ther- u nn urmei, forc t8",f8
might bo met. he says, by reducing tho
sovernl forces, as ho says tho American
rorcc has been reduced, but even tho na
gregato forco would bo so larito that the
imperial establishment would not fcol war
ranted In returning. In tho circumstances
tho minister says assurances from tho
powers that tho Imperial government would
uo protected probably would bo tho most
effective, means of bringing about a re-
establishment of Chlncso administration at
l'cian.
Mlnlstcr'Wu haH been Informed that tho
viceroys or China, Including I, l Hung
Chang, nnd tho viceroys of Nankin, Wu
nang ana tho other southern nnd central
provinces, havo uultod lu a memorial to
the throno asking that thoso responsible
for thc recent uprising bo punished.
Tho minister has not yet received the
text of tho memorial and tho minister does
""i ""w wnoincr it designates by name
who should bo punished. It Is tukou as
an evidence! of tho position of tho most
inliurntlnl rulers ln Chlnn ln fnvor of tho
punishment of thoso engaged ln thc present
