pisses away.
The End Came with Tragic Sudden
ness—Announ ement of Death
Comes as a Shock to Great
Britain and to the
United States.
September SO—Sir Michael
Herbert, the British ambassador to the
United States, died today at Davos-I’latz,
Switzerland, after a long and plucky
fight against consumption. which termi
nated with tragic suddenness. The first
announcement of the ambassador s un
timely end was made al this afternoon's
session of the A'askan boundary commis
sion. Hannis Taylor, In behalf of the
United States, had finished his lengthy
argument about 3 p. m., and Sir Edward
<‘arson, the solicitor general, was reply
ing, with an intricate legal argument,
dealing with maps and the ancient \ ati
couver controversy, which was It 'lf
heartedly paid attention to by those
pi •■sent and several of them made prep
arations to leave the hall, the solicitor
general delved still deeper into the dry
as dust detail, when Chief Justice Alver
stone held up his hand, and Sir Edwatd .
sat down. I
A second later, the commission, counsel,
secretaries and spectators sat spell bound,
as Eord Alverstone, with trembling voice,
and tears coursing down bis cheeks, an
nounced that Sir Michael Herbert was
dead. Maps and boundaries were utter
ly forgott* n. With dramatic pathos, the
international contestants became felloe
sympathizers. listening in stunned amaze
m. at to Eord Alvei stone's tribute to
trio man whose death none even sus
pected. Lord Alverstone paid a high
tribute to the personal and official qual
ifications of the late ambassador.
In the meanwhile. Ambassador Choate
had entered. He had just come from Lord |
J/msJowne’s room, where he learned tile I
news. The intense silence which follow- |
cd the delivery of Lord Alverstone s |
tribute was broken by Jacob M Dickin- |
son, of American counsel, who voiced
the American sorrow and proposed an
adjournment of the commission.
Solicitor - General Carson followed and
the commission quietly broke up until
tomorrow.

BRITAIN HANGS TO SUBJECTS.
Not Willing To Turn Them Over to
the United States.
London, October 2.—Sir Edward Carson,
solicitor general, consumed the morning
session of the Alaskan boundary com
mission today In endeavoring to refute
the arguments of David T. Watson and
Htnnis Taylor, of counsel for the United
; States especially protesting against Mr.
I Taylor s contention that the term "trend
| es the coast" could only apply to the
■ I ollthal eoast line not to the physical
coast line.
1 H ■ also niairtaincd that the principle
1 of acquiescence was not applicable to
the present dispute and somewhat sur-
I rised the audience )y> - declaring that
under the powers of the treaty - ot 1903
the commissioners had no authority Io
define questions submitted to them and
that they could neither lay down the
boundary nor decide what constituted ths
ciast. All the commissioners could do
was to answer questions submitted to
them in the treaty either negatively or
affirmatively. if they gave certain
I answers they might make matters more
err.fused than ever and open up a new
st ries of diplomatic tangles.
The solicitor general concluded with an
eloquent reference to Great Britain's un
willingness to give up any of her sub
jects into the control of other nations.
1 lie declared he thought the public might
1 think the commission was slow and that
I counsel were wasting time; but no time
and no money would ever be wasted if
the lcng-si»tnding dispute between the

for the United States, rose to conclude
the arguments the room was Idling up

FIRST GUN FIRED FOR
FISCAL REFORM,
Balfour Declares That the Alliance of
the Combines and Tariffs in
Other Countries Threatens
the Ruin of British
Industries.
London, October I .—Addressing a mass
meeting at Sheffield tonight in connection
with the conference of the National
Union of Conservative Associations, Pre
mier Balfour delivered the speech which
lias long been heralded as the first hoax y
gun to be fired in the fiscal reform cam
paign, which is absorbing the attention
of the united Kingdom, iter colonies, and,
indeed, the whole world, and which has
cause the present British cabinet crisis,
the result of which it is impossible to
foretell.
Mr. Balfour, in the course of his speech,
did not even hint at the successors in
the cabinet to Mr. Chamberlain, Lord
George Hamilton and Mr. Ritchie. In
fact, he did not mention the ministerial
resignations, ignoring altogether that
phase ot the situation on which it was
expected he would make some declara
tion. The premier confined himself strict
ly to the tariff question and ills speech
was to a large extent a repetition of the
arguments contained in his recent pam
phlet- , ,
Great Britain Helpless.
Premier Balfour was greeted with re
peated round of cheers. lie spoke of the
prominence the fiscal question had gain
ed and attributed it t . the. closer touch
with the colonies gained as a result of
the late war. lie pointed out Great
Britain's helplessness under present con
ditions to meet foreign retaliation and said
the fiscal relations with the colonies were
inconsistent witli frog trade principles.
Mr. Balfour continued:
“Free trade is indeed an empty name
and a vain farce if it is a fact that for
eign nations are setting themselves to
divert our industries, exclude our manu
factures and limit the international play
of supply and demand. There has been
a development of which Cobden and his
contemporaries never dreamed —the devel
opment of the trust system, under pro
tection. The phenomenon is so new that
I scarce venture to prophesy what de
velopment It is likely to take, but you
may be absolutely sure that in the alli
ance of trusts and tariffs, there is a
danger to the canital and enterprise of
this country which acts and reacts not
mainly upon th. - capitalist, for he is at
liberty to go to those regions where his
industry will be looked after, but it will
fall witli the heaviest weight upon the
artisan ami the labor classes which are
not cipablo of protecting their interests
against such a calamity.
Knows of a Palliation.
“Now, if I have rightly described the
dangers and evils we suffer, you are en
titled to ask me whether 1 know of a
■ lire. My answer will be disappoint
ing. 1 know of no cure, but 1 do know
of a palliation. The ill has gone too far.
You will not get the great commercial
nations of the world to abandon protec
tion I tear tii.it you will not get the
great sclt-govi ruing colonies to retrace
the steps whi'h we without renioii
straii .■ permitted them to take. 1 am
here, thei elorv, to recommend a pallia
tion Willet' X uelieve to tn. - still possible.
Cobden nojjeu and ueiieved in free trade
throughout tne world. V\ ital in fact we
have got to deal with is a world where
international commercial relations are
regulated entirely by treaty. It is com
mon sense that we, the greatest com
mercial nation, should come forward and
say, 'We want to arrange treaties witn
you. but we have- nothing to give you,
nothing to withhold lioiii you. We
throw' ourselves upon your mercy and
consideration. Phase remember how
good we are to your commerce, how we
throw no impediment in its way and
how we do ah we can for you, and
please don't forget us when you are
making your next treaty. (Laughter. )
"My fundamental and essential re
quest to you today, to which the rest
of my speech is subsidiary and acci
dental, is that the people of this coun
try should give to its government that
freedom of m goiiation of which we have
been deprived, not by force of circum
stances or by tlie pressure of foreign
powers, but by something I can only
describe as our pedantry and self
conceit."
Taxation of Roods.
The speaker believed that the evils
of the taxation of food had been exag
gerated beyond what reason and logic
justified. Still, he thought that public
opinion was not yet ripe for tlie taxa
tion of food. Therefore, as an adviser
of a great party, he was bound to tell
them plainly that it was outside the
limits of practical politics. He was not
anticipating a general tariff war, but he
thought ' w” might inform any foreign
country that we thought was treating us
with outrageous unfairness that unless
they modified their policy we should take
certain steps with regard to certain ar
ticle- exported by them."
•■The second question Is. 'Do yon de
sire to reverse and alter the fundamental
fiscal tradition which has prevailed for
two generations'’' My answer Is, yes, I
do." (Loud cheers.)
Broceedings of Conference.
Th” thirty-eighth conference of the
Conservajiye Association began here
today with an unprecedented at
tendance. attracted by the unus
ually interesting political situation.
Nearly 20,000 delegates were present.
The earl of Derby presided in the ab
sence of the duke of Norfolk, who was
indisposed.
The delegates, who were present to
voice the opposition to preferential tar
iffs. sat together and appeared to be
considerably in the minority. In mov
ing the adoption of the annual report
Mr. I.o wt, M I’.. chairman of the
committie. deprecated the conference,
expressing a decided opinion on the
tariff question in behalf of the party
until Joseph Chamberlain had fully ex
plained his views. Chamberlain’s name
was greeted with cheers.
Though the majority seemed to favor
the bold departure from the present sys
tem proposed by the retiring secretary
for the colonies, excited interruptors de
clared the country would never be ripe
for a food tax; but th ir voices were

Fiscal Controversy.
After minor resolutions had been
adopted, calling for the regulation of
a“en immigration, the redistribution of
parliamentary scats, etc., an official res
olution on the subject of the fiscal con
troversy was moved by Sir John E.
Dorlngton, M. P. it was somewhat sim
ilar to the resolution suggesting pro
tection passed by the same gathering In
1887. The resolution, which deals
solely with Premier Balfour's proposals,
not touching on Mr. Chamberlain’s, was
as follows:
“That this conference, believing that
the changes which have taken place dur
ing the last fifty years In the conditions
under which British trade has been car
ried on necessitate a reconsideration of
tlie fiscal situation, which we as a na
tion have adopted during that period;”

It was agreed that no vote should be
taken on the resolution until tomor
row after Mr. Balfour's speech tonight
defining the attitude of the government.
Henry Chaplin. M. P., former president
of the board of agriculture and a life
long protectionist, in supporting the ofli
< lii resolution, moved the addition of a
"rider" thanking Mr. Chamberlain for
his patriotic actions and expressing ap
proval of any practical plan to promote
a closer political and commercial union
of the empire.
Sir John Herbst, M. P., formerly finan
cial secretary t 6 the treasury, said he
did not oppose the principles of the reso
lution. but he wanted to know the real
intentions of the government, whether
the food tax proposition was definitely
abandoned. Lord Hugh Cecil, M. P.
emphatically warned the conference
against supporting a retaliation scheme
by which. h>- : limed, the country would
drift to prot< ■ m and bring the country
to rqin and th unionist party to shame.
A vote on Mi Chaplain's rider was ulti

conference adjourned.

SALEN’S WARM REPLY TO DICK
Paramount Issue in Campaign Is
Record of Senator Hanna.
Cleveland, Ohio, September 28 -Charles
P. Salen, chairman of the <>liio demo
cratic state executive committee, has
made a reply to Chairman Dick, in which
Salon says:
"The paramount issue of the senato
rial contest In ibis campaign I th. pub
lic record of Senator M. A- Hanna, and
his unfitness by reason thereof to br- re
turned to the United States senate. Are
you not aware that Hon. John H. Clarke
has attacked his public record uid joined
issue with the present senator upon his
record—first, in fathering the ship sub
sidy bill, xvhlch seeks to take from the
people’s treasury ten million inliars an
nually and put It into the treasury of the
steamship companies; second, in forcing
through the legislature the Fiet binary
and expense municipal code, which de
nies home rule to the cities ot the state;
and third, in using his official position
to secure for hiinselt and a. sociates
franchise privileges to the injury of the
people -you can get this information by
inquiring of Senator Hanna hiniself.
"He is on record as saying that his
public record has been outragea isly at
tacked and that when he goes upon the
platform he will have something to say
about it. I have asked you to arrange
that Mr. Clarke may be present when he
says It. You decline for reasons that
would be readily guessed, if you did not
' assert that candor compels you to give
the real reason for declining a joint dis
cussion.
"Again cn behalf of Hon. John H.
Clarke, I ask you to arrange for a joint
discussion between lim and Senator
Hanna on the political issues of tac cam
paign."
"GOSPEL OF COBDEN
IS HUmL”
Chamberlain Says That Free Imports
with Brotected Labor Cannot Be
Longer Tolerated The
Mother Country and
the Colonies.
London, October 3.—" Every other na
tion and all our own self-governing colo
nies have refused Io accept the gospel of
Cobden, and yet although they ought, ac
cording to its dogmas, to be in the last
stage of depression and decline, they have
grown during the last twenty years In
wealth. population and trade and in
everything that goes to make up the
greatness of a nation.”
That is the. keynote of Joseph Cham
berlain's manifesto which will be pub
lished October 5 in the form of a preface
to. a shilling pamphlet—" Mr. Cham
berlain's Proposals; What They Mean
and What We Shall Gain by Them," by
C. A. Vincent, secretary to Mr. Cham
berlain's tariff organization. In view of
the manner with xvhich tlie xvar office
pamphleteers have again come into vogue
in English polities the publisher has ap
propriately given Mr. Chamberlain's
pronouncement deep red covers in sig
nificant contrast witli the undecided blue
gray, of Premier Balfour’s academic
treatise on the fiscal question.
Strong Words Used.
Mr. Chamberlain does not mince mat
ters. Witli characteristic aggression he
carries the xvar into the enemy's camp.
"Those who maintain," he writes, "in
a spirit of blind obseurintism tlie absolute
inspiration of an antiquated doctrine xvlll
have much to explain."
Bis remarks are addressed to “men of
all political opinions, since the questions
now raised arc not necessarily matters of
party politics, nor indeed, is It likely
that the issues xvill be decided on strict
ly party lines.
He begins by saying:
"it is difficult to believe that the re
sults of the. investigation will not con
vince every impartial man of the necessi
ty lor reconstruction ot tlie system xvliicn
has remained stationary and unaltered
for more than half a century while every
other policy has been modified and adapt
ed to meet modern requirements."
Continuing, -Mr. Chamberlain points out
that the property of the working classes
has increased in greater proportion in the
protected countries than in the United
Kingdom, and says:
"Free trade, if it had ever existed,
might have secured lor us al! that its
promoters promised; but free imports
without free trade have brought us face
to face with problems which never en
tered into Cobden's calculation. We knoxx*
that the idea of a united empire did
not appeal to him and that he regraded
the colonies as encumbrances to be got
rid of as soon as possible. The little
Englanders who follow his lead are likely
to be moved by any consideration aris
ing out of our new found pride and
faith in our distant, kinsmen. But what
would Cobden have said if he had fore
seen that tlie trades unions whose exist
ence lie d'preeated, would be successful
in protecting labor in a score of ways,
tending to increase, the rate of wages ami
to raise the standard of living? Would
Cobden as the representative of the man
ufacturing class have still maintained
that ivliile the manufacturer was arti
ficially prevented from obtaining labor
at the lowest rate he ought '.‘o rest con
tent when the products of foreign labor,
untrammelled by any regulations and leg
islation, to xvhich he had to submit, un
dersell him in iiis own market? Cobden's
scheme was at. least consistent. It was
free labor as well as free imports; but,
free Imports combined with protected la
bor, is neither consistent nor profitable
to any of tlie parties concerned.”
Little Consolation.
Mr. Chamberlain holds that the consol
ing theory that other countries are ruin
ing themselves by bounties and import
duties hardly coincides xvith the fact that
British exports have been practically
stationary for txvelve years, while those
of other countries have increased so rap
idly that "if the relative progress con
tinues for It fexv years longer, they will
have left us far behind."
Dealing with tlie colonies and their de
sire for better commercial treatment, Mr.
Chamberlain says:
"It is not answer to offer them an Im
perial court, which they have already
refused. If we reject their proposals lor
reciprocity we shall be tn great danger
of losing our present trade with them as
well as the prospects of its future exten
sion. It is entirely owing to tlie growth
of our colonial trade that the actual and
heavy decline in imports to foreign pro
tected countries has been concealed in
our general returns. Do tlie stern advo
cates of unrestricted imports considar
it satisfactory that xv should bain noth
ing to bargain with and continue to be
grateful for such crumbs as fall from
the rich man's table, in the shape, at the
best, of the most favored nati 'ti clause,
which only gives us the benefits of ar
rangements previously made xvith sole
reference to the interests of other per
sons, and in respect whereto we had
never been consulted? Is it not childish
to ignore the fact that by bargaining on
equal terms other nations hive been able
to promote their special interests and
that If we also had In our hands weapons
of retaliation we should probably be able
to bring the world much nearer a uni
versal free trade sysfem than it has
over been siinco ('obdoti's time? Our free
food friends will have to be a little more
definite and more accurate. They will
have to explain why the transfer of tax
ation. say from tea to broad, would be
disastrous, evop though it benefited our
industries and restored them to some
thing like relative position xvhich they
enjoyed twenty years ago. They will
have to doeii'a once fj: all whether for
eign bounties are a blessing or a curse;
whether 'dumping' is a philanthropic
operation wherel'y foreigners are endeav
oring to secure the welfare of tills coun
try or an insiduous attempt to ruin our
Industries and obtain our markets for
thomselx’cs. They will not lv - allowed to
evade these questions by the cheap de
vice of abusing their opponents."
Dealing passionatel.v xvith the accusation
that his policy is intended to reduce the
"workman and his family to starvation."
Mr. Chamberlain writes:
"Let them at least admit that, rightly
or wrongly, this policy Is propounded in
the interests of the masses of the people
of the poor, more than the rich, and that
those who are responsible for it have
earned br strenuous endeaver in the, past
