LONDON, Sept. ls.-With practical una
nimity the press throughout the country
declares that the resignation from the
British Cabinet Of Mr.. Chamberlain. the
Colonial Secretary: Mr.. Richie, the Cham
cellor Of the Excheqler, and Lord George
Hamilton, the Secretary for India. means
that the present Government cannot posi-
bly last beyond the meeting OF Parliament
in February. Many newspapers declare that
a general election will be held early in the
winter
There ia high authority for the state
ment that other members Of the Cabinet
are about to resign. Lord Balfour OF
Burleigh. Secretary for Scotland. who if
now at Balmoral az Minister in attendance
on the King. will probably retire. and 1t is
possible that the Duke Of Devonshlre
President OF the Council. will also leave
the Ministry.
Joseph Chamberlain is at his home
in Birmingham, where he was busy yester-
dav and to-day in consultation with tne
managers of his Tariff Reform League.
Austen Chamberlain arrived last night ana
spent to-day with his father
A report emanating from Birmingham
this morning and framed probably with
view to party tactics says that MIR. Chamber
lain expects twelve months propaganda
before the general election
Mr.. Chamberlain's first public meeting
In N VI
be held at Glasgow on Oct.6. he will de-
liver addresses later at Newcastle, Liver
pool Leeds and Cardiff. 1t is said that a
majority OF the Scotch Unionists Ill the
House OF Commons will appear on the same
platform with Mr. Chamberlain at Glasgow
There is a report from South Africa to
the effect that Lord Miner, Governor OF
the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies.
will succeed Mr.. Chamberlain as Colonial
Secretary. This report is discrediteo IN
London because Lord Miner has never
taken part in Parliamentary life and because
of his policy and personality. Lord Miner
is now recuperating at Carlsbad.
The organ Of the Radicals, the Stdr, e1-
presses the belief that the Liberal party
will commit an error Of the first magnitude
il 1t overlool1s the fact that, although the
man is gone his policy remains. 1t says
Though Chamberlain's body is not In the
Cabinet his soul goes marching along.
This Is Mr.. Chamberlain's Elba; he has
vet to reach his Waterloo
The report that Austen Chamberlain
will succeed Mr.. Richie is construed to
mean that his father will act tremendously
with Mr. Ralfour in electora! tactics, so far
as the date OF dissolution is concerned.
Joseph Chamberlain will from without force
a pace with the Colonial preferential scheme.
Moderate protectionists hitherto have been
committed to the principle Of retaliation.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, Secretary
for Foreign Affairs left London to- night for
Ralmoral The Manchester Gudrd'cn sug-
gests that he will resign
The rejoicing over Mr.. Chamberlain's
withdrawal is greatest among the group
of newspapers which strongly opposed his
South African policy The Irish !nde-
rerdent asserts that Mr.. Chamberlain goes
away rejoicing over the fact that. as a
reptile shute- off its skin. so has he shue'ed
from his shoulders and laid upon those
of others the terrible burden of debt, diff
ficulty and danger created by the abom'-
nabe war in South Africa
