.sUNITY OFTHE; EMPIRE. "
British Ministers from All Parts ataf
 Cabinet Meeting. sfst

London. Sept 14--The Associated Press understands that the rumors ef the approaching resignation of the chancellor Of the exche4uer, MT Ritchie, are well7founded. He will at tend the special cabinet meeting called for to-day with the determination Of resigning. Other minor resignatiOnS are likely to occur, but Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlain and Premier Ralfour are reported to be standing together and intend keeping up the cabinet by filling the vacancies.
 From all parts of the country and the continent British cabinet ministers came to London this.morning to attend the cabinet meeting, which, was re- garled as marking the mostimpo portant phase in the recent political history of the United Kingdom The Times voiced public sentiment in saying it was a s'great occasipn," more impor- tant even than the historic meeting when home rule was uppermost, for the main issue to-day is the unity of the empire.
 Not since the fateful day when the cabinet. framed in answer to President Kruger's ultimatum had such crowds gathered around Downing street. From early morning lofterers assembled there in the hope of catching q glimpse Of. the political leaders. However, when it was announced that the cabinef would not meet until 3 o'clock the spectators dWindled away.
 Mir Balfour, who arrived in London from Scotland yesterday evening, went to Downing street early There a num- Der of treasury officials were cioseted a1I the morning with MT Bal1our's s sec retaries going over the statistics of which the cabinet is supposed to base it's decision for or against free trade. MT Chamberlain, who was the cen tral figure in to-day's proceedings, left Birmingham accompanied by his wife. A large crowd bade them farewell at the railroad station. On their arrival here Mrs Chamberlain went to their London home and MT Chamberlain proceeded to the colonial office.
