Special Gable Despatch 20 THE Sun.
LONDON. June s-The striking speeches
and scenes in the House Of Commons to-
day, when Chancellor of the Exchequer
Richie announced his opposition to Colonial
Secretary Chamberain's plan Of prefer
ential tariffs for the Colonies and defended
his own plan Of taking OF the corn duty,
produced universal excitement in the lobbies,
pnlitica clubs and political circles every
where, What is the position of the Gov
eminent? is the question that is raised
everywhere, aud the answers are various.
Those most inclined to sensational views
declare that Mr.. Rtchir's statement shows
that the Cabinet is hopeIsssly divided on
the question Of Mr.. Chamberlain's prefer
entail tariff proposal, and that the rupture
thus disclosed will lead either to the resig-
nation Of the Colonial Secretary or the
dissolution Of Parliament. Neither OF
these possible results is entertained by the
moro cool-headed politicians,
1t is practically CERT ain that the state
ment Of Mr. Richie was read at theCabine
Council this afternoon and was approved
as satisfactory by all The members present
There ia reason to believe that Mr.. Ritchie
there made his continuance in office con-
dilonal upon his colleagues granting him
liberty to make his position clear toward
the suggested fiscal changes, and dis
sussion Of the whole subject resulted in
anpromise, under which the questions
- sed by Mr.. Chamberlain will be the sub
M If discussion and inquiry, the free
trade members of the Government being
allowed to hold their own views
This obviously carries with 1t the assump-
ton that the Government has no imme
date intention of proposing definite
measure establishing preferential treatment
for the Colonies, and information drawn
from the best sources confirms that this
Is the actual position: There will be no
resignation and the ventilation OF Mr..
Chamberlan's scheme will continue as he
originally proposed until the nation has
expressed its views on it.
On all hands. however, it is recognized
that a situation has been created which
needs TO be cleared up before Parliament
is likely to settle down to the mere hum
drum business of the session.
The possibility Of the Government resort-
ing to the time-worn expedent Of appoint
ing a royal commission to consider the
question Of an imperial zollverein on the
lines Of Mr.. Chamberlain's proposals has
been mooted, and was mentioned in the
course of the debate. Some of the news
papers assert that such course has been
already decided upon, although Mr.. Elliott
In his speech alluded to the idea almost
with contempt.
