LONDON". O-t. 7 While, there is no evi
dence of tarn on the part of the expon
ents of public opinion or of the electorate to
4ivc Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal proposals
immediate endorsement, there Is ample
proof of a desire exhaustH dy to examine
his program and accept or reject It on lis
niwritK. lather Uian on party lints.
' It U realiz-d that the attitude t-f the
colonic 1 probably tbe most important
l.tctor tn hi scheme, and a hat they will
s.iy to hla Mate men I that they are pre
pared to contribute toward Imperial prefer
ential trade all! largely determine the ul
timate dc!flon of the country. The critic
til the former secretary for the colonic
claim that hla whole diagnosis of hi pres
ort tUtn Of the trade of the United King
dom hangs on u. statistical blunder In tha
comparison of the exports of 1W2 with
those of 1P7L. The latter year waa notor'
ioiiHly phi nomenal a aa export year. le
lauw of the requirements of Germany and
France, after the war between those noun
itles, and it I pointed out that Great
TlrlUiin furnished the great hulk of these,
and that her exports consequently bounded
tip from ti.iu.uoo.ouo in in to ti.ao.ooo.ixw
In 17;. after width they gradually reicce
to the same totaj as in 1K7L It is, therefore,
contended by the critic that the whole
fabric of Mr. Chamberlain's argument ia
based on an elementary error, and that
while his fiscal arithmetic Is faulty, his
promises are hypothetical and unproved. It
Is anticipated that the colonies will resent
Mr. Chamberlain's suggestion that their
colonial manufacturing interests should
lie thwarted for the lienent of British
manufacturers. On the other hard tbe for
mer colonial secretary's note is not unfa
vorably received. On the stock exchange
tha various department opened with a bet
ter attention.
Talks at IHreenock.
Continuing his fiscal campaign Mr.
Chamberlain tonight addressed a meeting
of l.&oo persons la tha Town hall of
Greenock, a, sea port on the Clyde, twenty
two mile, from Glasgow. He spoke for one
hour and a quarter, and dealt particularly
with th question of retaliation and re
ed proclrr. -.- -
Tha' lata VwhsUkl oecretary oId'Tr,aT"T'ie '
waa a trtm trader and wanted to live har
moniously with hie neighbor, but he de
sired free exchange with all nations. If
thry would not exchange he was not a free
trader at any price. He-respected our
American cousin, had considerable re
aped for the Germans and great respect
and greater friendship for tha French. The
policy of those nations was to use the
tariffs to ease the home trade and exclude
foreign trade while under tha present sys
tem In the United Kingdom, trade was
steadily decreasing.
ilr. Chamberlain askad why all protec
tive nations prospered mora than tha
Vnlted Kingdom. If tba Cobdenites could
satisfactorily answer he would ask to be
ii 11. i wed to hide his diminished head. His
occupation would be gone.
Replying to the newsaper criticisms
that he selected iK!Z, the greatest boom
year of British trade, as the' haxls of his
statistics, the speaker admitted that the
first twenty-five years of Cobden's free
trade waa a flourishing period and free
trade was then probably best for the coun-
tr-. But be wa. willing to take any period
during the last thirty years to iliustrate
hia argument. Asking wiiy the foreign
arwt active con tt-les, even amall nation
like Sweden, had all prospered, he aald
that h believed they were better .strate
gist than th British. Their policy aa
enunciated by the late President McKlnley
and the greatest of Americana king before,
namely Lincoln, by Bismarck and other
distinguished statesmen, lutd a great deal
1-ehlud. He continued:
English Ar4 I aevaalsteav.
1 say that you are Inconsistent. Ton are
adopting a suicidal cnurs. if you ierslst
in th present policy our workmen must
either take luwer wages or lohe ihelr work.
Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to refer to
the enormous output xif the United Ptati
tlteel corporation works and the diminish
ing home demand in tha United States for
steel, owing to financial difficulty, the re
duction in railway construction, etc. He
quoted from an American paper an Inter
view with a director of the steel com nor a -tion
on The falling demand In ahlrii the
M rector declared that they had no In
tention of diminishing the output and
throwing out of employment thousands of
American workmen. Instead they would
Invaue foreign markets. '
Mr. Chamberlain . contented that this
rieej would I aent to Great Britain, tbe
only free market, and mi Id.
1 marn you that within tm o or three
era you will have dumped nere 10. .( 41

Concluding his geneial restatement, the
siieaker said that agriculture In Great
Hrltalu wa practically destroyed, the
aiigar trade Wa gone, tbe allk trade a as
rone, the Iron and wool industries were
threatened, and tbe earn late would come
to the coMon trad. He continued:

counsel for the United States, has arrived
here from The Hague, having completed
his arguments before the Venciuelan arbi
tration tribunal. He sails for New Tork
October V from Cherbourg.
Mr. MacVeagh regards the situation of
the case as satisfactory and hopeful. The
members of the court expressed satisfac
tion at the American view of the exalted
character of the tribunal, as representing
the modem Idea of the humane adjustment
of International differences, instead of the
old system of a resort to force.
Counsel for the other countries, outside
the blockadinr powers, will probably fol

ment. W hen the court reaa embles Novem

will look after American and Venezuelan
Interests. Jt is expected the further hear

DAM BREAKS AT SEATTLE

SEATTLE. Oct. 7.-The high water in
Lake Union at C o'clock this morning
burst through the dam retaining wall t
the si of th first gat us t the trnd o
the gtfVemment canaL The guzet; are atlll
standing, but the flood tuts m.'n a big
channel around the lock. The Frem-jnt
passerger. team and treet car bridge are
badly damaged and are expected to go out.
Tbe toss bridge ha been so badly
flamafred that it impassable. The govern-
mem channel through salmon Bay (Ballard.
is filling rapidly with the dirt carried Into
it by the swift current.
The bank of lhe canal are caving
rapldly and immense damage will probably
be done to the government works. Only
one building t,t Fremont Is so far in
danger. This belong to the government
and is unoccupied.
The flow of water cannot be stopped and
Lake Union will undoubtedly lie lowered
about ten feet, which will put the mills
on that body cf water out of business.
Later news from Fremont Indicate that
Whlla the damage to the work the govern
ment has already done will be great, it Is
a fact that the fiood of water is doing
more ta finish and deepen the canul than
the government could do in five years.
There is no prosiect of dttmage to other
than government property beyond the pos
sible aliutdown of Luke Union mills until
new dams can b built at the heud of
the canal.
People of Ballard and Fremont are
Jubilant over tbe good work accomplished
by the water, which, under normal cir
cumstances would be a destroying agent.
