It is generally believed that Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, ex-chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, will be ready with an important
declaration absolutely disavowing Mr..
Chamberlain's policy and it is stated that
he will be infiuentially backed by free
trade conservatives. Mr.. Richie is re-

Chamberlain, and It is reported that he
is only willing to remain chancellor of the
exchequer so long as his budget with its
free trade feature, namely, the repeal Of
the corn duty, is not assailed.
The liberal attitude is clear and definite.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman and his
colleagues will demand from Prime Minis

ture from free trade, will welcome the

DEUTSCHLAND AGROUND
Big Ocean Liner Is Fast in New
York Harbor.

New York, June 5.-The steamer
Deutschland, which grounded yesterday
in Gedney's channel, is still fast. Six
tugs worked on the liner at high tide
about half past 8 o'clock this morning,
but failed to move her.
Another attempt will be made at high
tide this afternoon.
The steamer has suffered no damage,
and as soon as she is f1oated will proceed
on her voyage across the Atlantic. In the
meantime she is in no danger, altho sur
rounded by a heavy mantle Of smoke and
fog.
Blame is placed on the first cabin pas
sengers and their friends for the accident.
Captain Barends, in command Of the ship,
figured on crossing the bar at 3:15 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but so many friends
Of the passengers crowded the vessel that
she was late in getting away.
In the interval the smoke had settled
over the harbor and bay and the big
steamer had to crawl slowly on her way
out to the open sea. She was under a
slow bell when she struck and the en-
gines were reversed, but dspite this she
buried nearly half her length in the muck.
Communication was established with the
Marconio station at Fire Island and from
there the news has been sent to the New
York agent.

Copenhagen, June 5.-Thruout the Scan

felt on account of Joseph Chamberlain s

secretary's scheme be carried OUT the
Scandinavian export food trade would sur
fer severe blow. Moreover, the duties
