Will Not BE Hurried and Draws Pre-

He refused not only to make a state
ment Of any finality upon such an i'm
portant question, but he also refused
TO compel his colleagues to conform
to a standard of opinion upon which he
himself had an open mind. He adj
mitted that differences OF opinion ex-
listed within the cabinet, but these
were not serious enough to cause the
resignation of any member He en-
forced this by the precedents of fTic-
ton in Gladstone's MINISTRIES, and in
sisted on allowing the premier to re-
tain an open mind upon a question SO
difficult and so superior to all party
issues.
The country was confronted. the
premier said, by three great henomena:
huge tariff walls against the United
Kingdom. the growth of the trusts.
and the desie of the colonies for
closer fiscal union with the mother
country. These factors could not be
ignored. q. He maintained that the
method Of starting public discussion
was the only way TO deal with these
phenomena, though he did not COM
NIT himself to Chamberlain's more adj
vanced programe. 1t would be folly
and rashness, he said, to interfere with
the great system which had been in
operation for so many years without
the most careful examination
This speech, made with all the elo-
Quence and magnetism which Balfour
yields so successfully, for an. open
mind not only in the cabinet but in the
Unionists' party, brought a constant
salvo of cheers. Throughout Cham
berlain sat beside the leader Of the
house, beaming with satisfaction. He
said: Our friend. the enemy, is non-
plussed this time" When the vote was
taken on the resolution that formed
the subject of debate the gov
eminent was supported by a majori-
ty of 396 totes, followers of the gov
eminent composing most of the mi
nority, and some Conservatives not vot-
ing.

threatening to give way. Couriers were
sent on horseback and af0ot to shout
warnings to the inhabitants of the
southern half Of the city, and hun

to the embankment- Puf1ng engines
rushed car loads Of sandbags to the
place and work was hurriedly begun.

NJ impending danger the inhabitants
did not leave their homes Higher and
higher crept the water, until a thin
stream began pouring over the en-
Dankmenf, and then It broke.

BaIfour Rises to Respond.

The opposition wind blew steadily
for two days, and demands were hot
~ made that Balfour should announce
the cabinets policy. Finally he re-
sponded, and was loudly cheered as he
rose, and he had great audience.
Chamberlain was present, and was re-
ceived with ironical cheers by the free
trade ''Or death men. In a whimsical
vein Balfour explained that the only
reason that the corn tax was put on
was because the government wanted
money, and the only reason it was
taken off was because the government
wanted money no longer. He declared
that he himself. though a believer in
free trade (Which statement met with
loud applause), did not regard it as
a fetish, and he had absolutely an
open mind regarding the necessity for
any alterations in a system which was
founded to suit conditions of fifty years
ago.
