REASON FOR RESIGNATION,
Text Of chamberIain,s Letter to Pre-
mier Balfour.

L knter 0duOOEs
London Sept. 1S-The long threat
sened disruption of the Balfour ministry
became a reality last evening when il
was officially announced that three
members of the cabinet had resigned
and that their designations had been
accepted by the king, as follows:
The Rt Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary OF state for the colonies.
The Rt. Honorable Charles T. Richie
chancellor Of the exchequer.
Lord George Hamilton, secretary OF
state for India.
Secretary Chamberlain resigned be-
cause he could not come to an agree
ment over the question of a tax on food
and raw materials. In the general feat
ures of proposed new fiscal policy
the two men agree; but the premier
declines to advocate a tax on food and
Mr. Chamberlain does not believe COM
mercial unity can be achieved without
such tax.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritehie
resigns because he is at variance with
Premier Balfour's policy of retaliatory
tariffs, just as he disagreed with Cham
berlains scheme for preferential du-
ties.
Mr. Chamberlain's letter accompany
ing his resignation is dated at Birming-
ham, Sept. g. That part of il referring
TO his plans for preferential tariff is
as follows:

THE GERMAN VIEW.
Russia's Attitude Criticised by the Ger.

man Cabinet.
Berlin. Sept. 1S.-The German gov
ernment holds in view four points in
the Balkan situation:
First-Does Russia regard the timn
for the break up of European
Turkey to have arrived? The
German ministers have basn un-
able to penetrate Russias ultimate
intentions and note with displeasur
the concerted attacks OF Sair. Peters
burg papers on Germany, which is de-
scribed as being in the background md
taking pleasure in extirpation Of the
slaves in European Turkey.
Second--If Prince Ferdinand is per-
suaded that his throne is dependent ON
war with Turkey, then war is certain.
Every effort should be made to tran
quilize Prince Ferdinand's mind
Third--Meetings of sovereigns, at
tended by their foreign ministers are
expected to clear up the unsecurities Of
the situation and enable German
perors of Germany and Austria meet at
Vienna today. The czar meets Emper-
or Francis Joseph Sept. 80, and will
then visit the King of Italy. Events
are expected to remain quiet until after
the 2ath. unless Bulgaria refuses to
wait.
Fourth-The project for Austrian
Russian joint occupation of Macedonia
has been wholly abandoned and there
is not the least likelihood OF renewal
of the proposition. Despite the Balkan
situation is growing worse, Turkish
funds rose again OH the Bourse today.
