UnnnimIty Regarding the Final Settle
mrnt OF the War,

London, June 19-Joseph Chamber
lain secretary of state for the colonies,
addressing a meeting of the Women's
| Liberal Unionist association this after
noon, said the colonies had been
through the haze of the South African
ante-bsllum negotiations when Sir Hen
ry Campbell -I}annerman, the liberal
leader in the house of commons, and
others were mystifled. Now that the
war was concluding he added, all We're
unanimous that whatever the final set
tlement might be 1t must be final and
should not leave behind it the seeds of
further mischief and make a repetition
of the trouble possible. The opposition
wanted to know when a general election
would occur. He was unable to crafty
their natural curiosity, but whether
the election took place tomorrow or
was postponed Indefinitely it would be
one of the most momentous presented to
the people of the United Kingdom dur
ing the century, involving the question
of the future of South Africa and the
future of the empire.
Referring to continental criticism, Mr.,
Chamberlain. after remarking that Eng
say: "But there are quarters where even
a note of disapproval would be mat
ter of serious concern. I refer to our
colonies and to the United States.
think we are happy In that we have
their good opinion and approval 1t is
true, this good opinion of the United
States is not unmixed with other senti-
ments ! will not now enter upon the
causes, partly political and partly senti-
mental, which have led certain Ameri-
cans to synpathize with what they call
a republic, although its whole existence
and whole practice have been one per-
petual denial OF the principles upon
which their great republic is founded
l believe the great majority of true
Americans recognize that our aims in
this war are as high and unselfsh as
those which animated themselves in the
Anerican-Spanish struggle. They
fought then for justice and liberty, not
for their own subjects indeed, but for
those whom they believed to be the vic
Tins of oppression and did not enter
into quiZzical discussion or technical
discussion, but recognized that they
were carrying out as Anglo-Saxons,
great work of civilization and human
ity. Now we are making their sympa-
thies, and we believe in the long run
we shall gain the final seal of their ap-
proval."

and Tung Ching attacked the legations
and set on fire five European buildings.
A modified version of these rumors re-
ceived at Berlin is that the French, as
well as the German minister has been
killed. The English at Shanghai think
that the Chinese had foreign advice in
organizing the defenses at Taku be-
cause of the precision with which their
attack was delivered.

The contest has not assumed any
such definite form as to even approx
mate the strength of the candidates.
actions of different delegations have
some significance. New Jersey, with
twenty votes, and California, with eigh-
teen votes, declared for Long. Other
states evinced a desire to support any
candidate agreeable to the administra-
tion, while there are a number of states
in the west that are determined to vote
for Roosevelt. In Maryland there was
a curious action. The delegation was
favorable to Roosevelt, but decided to
take him at his word and not support
him. Then they heard that the admin
istration was for Long and a number
of them sent word to Hanna that
Longs nomination would be difficult to
carry In that state on account of the
feeling for Rear Admiral Schley, who
is a native of Maryland. The delegates
preferred to vote for Dolliver for these
reasons. The Kansas delegation deter
mined to vote for Roosevelt and told
him so Wisconsin is another state
