CHURCHILL AND CHAMBERLAIN.

The Latter Writes a Conciltatory Letter
Regarding the Birmingham Trouble.
LONDON, April "A. -Chamberlain has writ
ten reply to an open letter of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, arraigning the Birmingham
Radical leader for his action in opposing the
selection of a Conservative candidate in the
recent election in the central division. In the
course of his writing Chamberlain says: ~
will endeavor humbly to profit by your adj
vice, though / fear the task of reconoiling
conflicting interests is not made easier by
your communications regarding future
action" Chamberlain thinks that the Con-
servatives and Liberal Unionists ought to
make Joint canvass to ascertain their rela-
tive force in Birmingham and afterward
submit their differences to arbitration. He
declares that he would welcome any assist
ance from Lbrd Randolph tending to the es-
Establishment of unity.
