Mr. Balfour. In tha course of his speech,
did not even hint at the successor In the
cabinet to Mr. Chamberlain, Iiord George
Hamilton and Mr. Ritchie. In fart, he did
rot mention the ministerial resignations.
Ignoring altogether that phase of the el ru

fined himself atrlrtly to tha tariff question,
and hie speech wm to a large extent r
repetition of the argument contained In
Ills recent pamphlet. 1
Tonight's meeting ws held In the artillery
Brill hall.; Which was the largest auditorium
available. Fully 5.U0O persons gathered In
the hall long bpforc o'clock, the hour at
which Mr. Balfour waa announced to

M. P., Winston Churchill, M. P.. Viscount

with repeated' rounds jif 'cTioers.

Itnew tha audience wanted to hear his
views on fiscal reform he would, therefore,
deal with that subject alone, not Introduc
ing any alien theme.
What la It?" the premier asked, "that
lias brought thla topic Into exceptional
prominence? There are those who would
attributa the Importance It has attained
to that great speech delivered by a great
man, Mr. Chamberlain. In May laet, but
something more la required to account for
a phenomenon unparalleled In the pres
ence of any man I am now addressing.
Mr. Balfour attributed thla prominence to
tha fact that the country wu In closer
touch with tha colonies aa a reault of the
late war and representatives of the min
isters In the colonies had brought before
tha empire tha queatlon of tarllT reform
Also because a long time prior to the de
velopment of the present controversy there
iod been great uneasiness among all parties
Ha to the condition of British trade In re
lation to tha trad of the world.
Canadian F.aTort Caaaed Threats.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech would not have
bad the effect It did If It had not fallen
on prepared ground, and If Canada's effort
to give preference to the mother country
liad not brought threats from at least one
foreign country In retaliation. This had
brought home to many minds the helpless
ness, of Ureal Britain under such clrcum
fctancea to meet a situation so dangerous.
The last alxty years, continued Mr. Bal
four, liad been filled with refutations of the
prophecies made by the great tariff re
formers, lis believed that the reforms
of 1846 were necessary at the time, but
very year of the laat thirty had contra
dicted the prophecies of the reformers.
The premier paid a tribute to Cobden.
Who, he Mild, had an Idea, but he did not
foresee the developments of the last half
century, which had made free trade an
empty names and a vain force. For fifty
years England, without making a sign had
watched the wall of hostile tariffs growing
up and dividing nation from nation. He
added :
And our own colonies, our own flesh snd
blood, the very sinews of the growing
empire, are building up one of vested In
terests after a system of protection which
ln It reaches Its logical conclusion will
make It aa hard to export to them as to
America or the other protective countries.
And during the whole lifetime of those

whatever to hinder a state of things ro

Cobden understood It. I ought to make

Detailing the history of thla treaty, Mr.
JJalfour contended that Cobden and Glad
stone In negotiating it intended to offer a
reinlaaon of taxation In return for which
protectionist France was to make certain
trading concessions and failing those con
cessions the taxes were to be- retained

The afternoon session doveloped consid

by Commissioner Ixdge, Lord Alverstone

the solicitor general had an amusing con

unnamed authority and Senator Lodge re

SOLDIERS GO .TO COREA
Action of Japan In Sending Troops Is
Regarded aa signifi
cant. PATtig. Oct 1. According to reliable in
formation received here Japan has decided
to aend two regiments of infantry to
JCorea. Thla la regarded in authoritative
quarters aa being a most Important step
as affecting Russo-Japan relations and as
ril-ely to accentuate the possibilities of a
war crisis.
Japan's decision Is considered to be di
rectly related to Russia's proposition to
evacuate Manchuria October 8. fIt Is now
accepted In tho highest quarters that this
evacuation la Impossible of accomplishment
as China has not signed the term by which
Russia, conditioned its evacuation.
The advices say that Russia inclines to
continue the present Russian status In
Manchuria rather than commit itself to
finally signing the proposed agreement. In
view of these conditions Japan's decision
to send troops to Korea Is regarded as
being a moat significant atep.
The advices further show that the war
spirit in Japan has materially augmented
during the last fortnight.

quite prepared, however, to let Mr. Ma

preliminary matters which must be at

No Chairmanships for Nebraska.
Arriving legislators are already discuss
ing the makeup of the senate and houae
committees. So far aa Nebraska Is con
cerned, tho delegation being new to legis
lative life of the capital, with the single
exception of Mr. Burkett of Lincoln,
it Is not expected the Antelope atate will
receive any chairmanships, although the
Incoming speaker will, as la customary,
look into the fitness of the repreaentatives
from Nebraska for places which they have
signified a preference for. Mr. Burkett, in
view of the fact that he will again be a
member of the great committee on appro
prlattona, may be given the chalrmanahlp
of one of the minor committee. Uiileas
he is honored with a chairmanship It looks
as If Nebraska might be wholly without
representation when the chairmanships are
distributed.
Iowa will have the same chairmanships
asiln the Fifty-seventh congress, and as
things are now drifting may secure an
additional committee head. The commit
tee of postofflces and post roads of the
senate Is without a chairman since Senator
Mnson went out. There was no attempt
to fill vacant committee places In the sen
ate during the extra session of the senate
In the , Flfty-lghtb congress and as the
senate will proceed to reorganise the com
mittees shortly after coming together It
looks as if Senator Dolliver might get the
committeeship of postofflces and post roads.
Senator Penrose, who Is the runking mem
ber of the committee, would be unable to
take up the additional work which would
devolve upon him should be become the
head of the postoffice committee. Next to
Senator Penrose comes Senator Elklns, who
Is the chairman of the committee on inter
state commerce. He la also carrying heavy
responsibilities, and it Is not thought he
would care to take a chairmanship which
promises to be the storm center during the
coming congress. Senator Dolliver Is next
In line. He la chairman of the committee
on Pacific railroads, a committee that has
absolutely no work before It. As he is a
close friend of the administration It Is
thought likely he will be made chairman
of the postoffice committee, in which event
Iowa will score once more.

Mayor Ixiw waa Introduced by Mayor
Carter Harrison of Chicago and was given
a warm reception. Hj) nald in part:
You have asked me' to speak, to some
extent st least, upon civic duty. I sm sure
that I shall Interpret your wishes aright
if I point out some of the directions In
which it seems to me that cities minister
to the welfare of the nation. It la hardly
more than thirty years since the people
of the I'nlted Stales first came to realize
that there was such a'lhlng as a city prob
lem. S
tlraduallv the tnndecicy everywhere has
been to concentrate administrative power
and responsibility mote and nore In the
hands of the mayor and in cities whre
this has been dune, there has, 1 think, been
distinct gain along tpe lines of business
efficiency. It 'a scHilom necessar'' now
adays to protect cities ncainat bold and
open robbery suin h waa siiirerea ny
niort of them In thetn early history. The
effort now is to prevent them suffering
by the giving away of their charters, snd.

recentlv orlclnaled In nv own city, from
that mercenary spirit which breeds dishon
esty hi public servants, itionc work Is
often more costly than It ought to be and
It is often lesa well done than It should
be, because those who have charge of au
thorising It and of carrying It on are fre
tiuentlv temnted to secure for themselves
some profit or advantage. I believe, never
theless, that rtty government certainly in
our large cities Improve steadily from
decade to decade.

CRIPPLE CREEK. 'Colo.. Oct. 1 Dis
trict Attorney Trowbridge today filed be
fore Judge Seeds' In the district court In
formation against Adjutant General Sher
man Bell and Brigadier General John
Chase, charging them with false arrest In
the case of Bherman Parker and three
other union miners who were held as pris
oners In the guardhouse about two weeks,
no charges being made against them In
court, and who were released last Thurs
day night on writs of habeas corpus
granted by Judge Seeda.
When Deputy Sheriff Thomas Underwood
visited military headquarters for the pur
pose of serving the rsplases he waa told
that no service would be accepted by Gen
erals Bell and Chase, nor by any other
members of the National guard while act
ing under orders from the governor. He
was also told that any further attempts
In that line by the civil authorities would
promptly be resented by the military.
General Bell later gave out a statement
for publication. In which he said the laws
of the state of Colorado and of the United
States make members of the National
guard when In tho field exempt from ser
vice of civil courts, and he further de
clared that the district attorney, in filing
Informations, and the Judge, in issuing the
capiases, made themselves liable to Im
peachment and Indictment. General Bell
said that should Judge Seeds attempt to
enforce his order by use of a posse

Last night was a very fair imitation of
the good old times of Ak-8ar-Ben VIII;
most of the buildings with illuminations
gave them a trial flicker and the Carnival
ground, was the gathering place for ZDOtt
people. Tho county building was Illuminated
completely and The Bee building showed in
Hildltlon to the lights and flags of last year
a now bee hive of lights. The New York
Life building had part of its lights on, In
tituling aome effective colored lights In the
Electric Light company's windows. Ben
nett's, the llcr Grand, Psxton and Millard
and the Western Electrical company showed
slguu In colors, and other places were
lighted up to a less extent.
Early In the evening the band from the
upper portion of the main entrance began
to drum up a crowd and Douglaa street was
soon filled. He It said In comment on the
new entrance, which is a muss of lights,
that the people wero'ln no hurry, but stood
outside for some time to take a good look
at It. The carnival within presented a sur
prisingly good appearance and those booths
unfinished were unnoticed by the people,
who made a rush from the turnstile to the
nearest ronfettl barrel and returned thereto
at frequent Intervals. The air was laden
with a gentle aroma of welnerwurst and
hamburger sandwiches and the Midway
spellers added to the merriment. Of the
shows only the "South Before the War,"
the "Loop the Loops," the "Gypsies," the
"Indian Congress." the "Parisian Models"
and ihe "Laughing Mirrors" were In opera
tion, but they all did a good business. The
larger part of the shows will finish prep
orations today and this evening things will
be humming.
Free Shows Well Liked.
Harry Russell, the high bicycle diver,
certainly captured the crowd with his nerve
racking descent. The greater number of
those who watched the performance would
have been unwilling to take the cold water
from any height, while to sail through the
air for fifty feet and land headfirst In a
