But after the copy has been filed, the

Every word of it must be read and passed

grown impatient in their eagerness to tell

been detected BY the censor and the ap-
parently innocent or stupid dispatch has

The most trying period OF the CORE

CHAMBERLAIN.s SPEECH.
Great Uneaxiness Manifested. ~ Ii
Indicates the Approach OF War.

LONDON, May 1.-THE speech delivered
by Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain AT Birmingham
yesterday evening has caused a great SEN
sation everywhere and Il aroused a feeling
Of uneasiness on the stock exchange.
There was an ali round weakness; bust
ness was poor and the market closed dis
tinctly pessimistic. War rumors were
freely circulated. a member OF the gov
eminent is said to have prophesied that
war between France and Grea. Britain
VIII break out within a month.
Revolutionary assurances are reported
TO have been effected at fifteen guneas
per cent. against the risk of war between
Great Britain and France within the next
month. Mr.. Chamberlain's speech has
been interpreted to mean that grave in
ternatIonal complications are ahead. His
reference to the possibility of an Anglo
American alliance are generally Endorsed.
The majority Of the London newspapers
cordially approve the utterances of the
colonial secretary. and the following ex-
tracts from the provincial press are even
more significant. The Birmingham Post
Mr.. Chamberiain's organ. says:
1.-TWO nations are already at war and
Mr. Chamberlain foresees that circumstan-
ces may arise which may involve other ma
lions In perhaps still more serious strug-
gle. His a!lusion to America drew the
utmost enthusiasm from the audience and
shows not only the spirit OF the
meeting but the spirit OF the whole Brit
ish race"
The Yorkshire Post remarks:
1.-THE duty OF the moment imposes upon
us the obligations OF a neutral power but
nothing can prevent an interchange OF
sympathy at such a time between the peo-
pie themselves
''Mr. Chamberlain shows sound states
manship In taking advantage of the pres
ent feeling on both sides Of the Atlantic,
OF the great part which the Union Jack
and the Stars and Strips may play II the
two people are wise in thei new conditions
which are rapidly creeping over the
world
