CHAMBERLAIN ON THE COLONIES.
He Believes the Dream of an Impe-
rial Federation VIII BE Realized.

London. Nov. GA banquet was given
here this evening on the occasion OF the
opening of the Natal railway, at which
Joseph Chamberlain. secretary Of state
for the colonies. Sir Charles Tupper, the
Canadian high commissioner, all of the
colonial agents in London, and several
members OF the House OF Lords and the
House Of Commons were present.
Sir Charles Tupper offered a toast in
honor OF Mr.. Chamberlain, referring IN
very complimentary terms to the colonial
secretary.
Mr. Chamberlain, upon rising to reply,
was enthusiastically received. lie SAID
that Great Britain was approaching a
critical stage In the history OF her rela-
tions with the autOnomus colonies. Upon
their opinions of her policy during the
next few years-Certainly the next general
election-would depend the future OF the
British empire. This hung together on
a thread so slender that even a breath
might sever it. Not long ago statesmen
despaired OF the possibility Of maintain

ing attained a position OF independence,

He did not suppose that the idea OF COM
pelling them to remain In the empire was
within the range Of intelligent specula-
tion. Yet, Notwithstanding the time had
not come for these conditions to be full
nlled, the expectance of the statesmen re-
terred TO had not been real

a separation had become great

no longer existed. Great Britain, on her
part was prepared to do all that could

tion, which would have been ruinous TO
