MR.. CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH.
He Defines Governments Policy
Toward West Indies.

LIVERPOOL, January 1S The
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
tonight in honor of ST Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain who made an important
and vigorous speech on England's COM
mercial relations. He said that Great
Britain had been accused Of having
mania" but since the great powers
had been bitten by the same mania"
the German empire had increased six
fold and the French fourfold, while
England has only added modest third
10 her colonial empire"
Mr. Chamberlain reviewed at length
the West Indian question and the re-
port OF the royal commission thereon.
He said the bounty system had ruined
the West Indies but had brought an es-
timated yearly gain Of f2000,00O TO
Great Britain. He believed that the
country was generous and just enough
to remedy this crying injustice. One Of
the objections to countervailing duties
was that while the trade they wished
to save amounted to 100000 tons,
Great Britain's own sugar imports
amounted to 100000.
| In view of these figures Mr.. Chamber
/ lain said it would be unscientlfic to
benefit the former by injuring the lat
ter. therefore, until the recommends
tions of the commission could be adopt
ed. it had been decided to propose to
Parliament a very large grant in aid OF
the West Indies to enable the industry
and the population to tide over crisis
until Continental nations recognize
the impolicy of the bounty system
Mr.. Chamberlain believed that the re-
lief measure would stimulate the sugar
industry and tend to the ultimate pros
perity of the colony.

AUGUSTA MILLS SHUT DOWN.
The King, Sibley and Langley Close
Their Doors Again.

Augusta &C.. November 30.-(Special)-
After two days of intellectual effort to get
a sufficient number of hands with which to
rua. the King ana Sibey mills and the
Langley mill, across the river. closed their
doors again today and Wil remain closed
until the present trouble with the opera
tives is ended. The strike seems to affect
materially only the three large mills named.
The Augusta factory never had any strike
among its operatives: the Enterprise re-
sumed work after only two days inlcrmis-
sion; the Globe mills and the Sutherland
mills had TO strike, and the Warwick, q
small factory fartHeSt Up dc canal is said

no unity Of action either among mil own

end remains to be seen. The strikers have
resisted the overtur95 made BY the mill
men by the opening OF their doors for
their return and n0fv these presidents have
ordered the Mills shut down until the op-
eratives are ready to go to work. Neither
side is disposed to give in and yet neither
