CHAMBERLAIN CONCILIATORT.
LONDON. January Sj.-The Right
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain. Secretary Of
State FOR the Colonies. delivered a speech
at Birmingham this evening. Re con-
graduated the country on having at
.
whose judgment and wisdom had placed
him foremost among statesmen.
Referring 10 the Venezuelan dispute,
Mr.. Chamberlain said il had been trivial
until IL was suddenly elevated TO grave
Importance by the intervention OF the
United States. There seemed 10 be some
Misrepresentation on both sides.
The opinion seemed 10 have prevailed
IN England that American statesmen
wished - pick a quarrel, while the
Americans seemed TO have thought that
the British were disposed TO impugn the
Monroe doctrine. which they rightly
held 20 b. most important TO their
security. They also seemed 70 have
thought that the British were disposed
90 deal IN q harsh and arbitrary man
ner with a smaller state. lie believed
.he American people and all that was
best in the United States would regard
with horror o needless war with their
own blood and kindred re believed that
President Cleveland, whose acquaint-
ance he had the honor Of making
while he was 10 America, and who
had a high reputation for straichtfor-
word honorable dealing. would never
drive the two kindred peoples 10 strife.
On the other hand. the Americans
could be assured Of the truth Of the
utterances Of Lord Salisbury and SIR.
Arthur Balf0ur. the First Lord OF the
Treasury, that Great Britain had no de-
sire for a single inch % territory
beyond what she already rishtfully
possessed. al that was necessary %
settle the difficulty was more time and
fuller knowledge. lie would re-echo and
rcciprocate from the bottom Of his heart
Woicotts noble words. Blood IS
thicker than water" loud chsers)
That would always be the sentiment
OF every BriiOn. The two nations were
more closely allied in sentiment and IN
terest than any others; and while the
British looked with horror on anything
approaching fratric.dal strife they looked
with pleasure uDOn the possibility of
the stars and Stripes and the Union
Jack floating together in defence Of a
common cause. sanctioned b. commu-
nifty OF sentiment.
ARMENIA.
He added that. while the Continental
nations regarded the sufIerings Of the
Armenlans with comparative Indifference,
the United Kingdom and the United
States felt the deepest sympathy and
Indignation.
3fr. Chamberlain paid a tribute 70 the
excellence Of the American missions.
and declared that the Americans were
also interested IN the sufferlngs Of hui
mainly for humanity's sake. and not for
any territorial ambition. Mr. Chamber
lain concluded by saying:
Would 10 were possible that. Instead
Of wasting breath IN a petty South Ameri-
can boundary dispute we could count
on the powerful support OF the United
States In enforcing the representations
which hitherto We have fruitlessiy made
in behalf OF those who are suffering from
Turkish tyranny and Turkish fanati-
cisn." (Cheers)
He declared that the condition Of Ar
menia was a danger and disgrace 10 Eu-
rope. but he did not believe that the
resources OF civilization had been entire
IS exhausted.
Upon the conclusion OF his address 1ir
Chamberlain was greeted with prolonged
cheering.
