Party Split.

LONDON, June 27.-All the morning
papers make Colonial Secretary Cham
Ierlain's and Premier Balfour's speeches
at the Constitutional Club the subject
OF leading articles. which follow party
lines.
The most noticeable feature of the
occasion is acknowledged TO have been
the announced harmony between the two
cabinet ministers on the question which
many expect will prove the rock on
which the Unionist party will remain
divided.
The colonial secretary's careful state
ment, that Mr. Balfour's leadership is
essential to union and the success Of
the Unionist party, followed later by
the statement that a system of prefer
entail tariffs is the only system by
which the empire can be kept together,
is taken to mean that there can nc
longer remain any doubt that the pre-
mier and the colonial secretary have
agreed on the future policy.
The opposition papers rejoice. assert

BERRY FAMILY KILLED
IN ILLEGAL FEUD WAR
Report of Inspector Sent Out by Cen
eral Land Office.

The inspector who was sent out by the
General Land Office to report on the
killing of the Berry family in Kansas
by cowboys from the Dewey ranch has
made a preliminary report. He was
sent out because the ACCOUNTS Of the
shooting stated that the feud originated
in the persistence of the Berrys in
cutting the fences of the Dewey ranch
II has been rumored that these fences
were illegally strung on public land.
and as the Government has been trying
to break up this practice for number
of years, it was naturally interested in
the case.
The inspector did not make full re-
port, because he was called away to
testify in a case before the United States
court in Denver, but he learned enough
to indicate that the alleged illegally Of
the fencing apparently had a great deal
TO do with the action OF the Berrys in
constantly cutting the fences. which has
been alleged as the cause of the shoot
ing
! II is said the report shows that the
Deweys had over eighty miles Of what
are alleged to have been Illegal fences,
| inclosing thousands of acres
Within the land so inclosed were 4
number of homesteads. and the home
! steaders strongly objected TO being
shut off from the world and annoyed by
fences which they thought should not
stand This engendered bitter feeling
between the ranch company and the
small proprietors. and it is probably
the reason both sides were so ready 20
resort to arms.
1t is also said. from information that
has reached the General Land Ofbce
that the cowboys acted in a high handed
manner toward the homesteaders II
other ways.
They are accused of turning the herds
in upon growing crops. 1t is said II
several instances great damage was donC
to the farmers by following this course
The number Of the cowboys and tn,
strength OF their backing caused then
