LORD ROSEBURY SURPRISED
That He Was Thought to Support Col
Sec. Chamberlain.

London, May 21.-Lord Rosebery ex-
pressed surprise that his speech Mt
burnley, Lancashire, May 10, in which
he dealt with Col. Sec. Chamberlain S
remarkable speech delivered at Biz
mingham, May IS, has been interpreted
as in any way supporting Mr.. Cham
berlain's proposal to establish recipro-
city between Great Britain and her
colonies and explains that he purposely
treated the subject uncontroversially
because he was addressing a non-p o-
litical audience. Lord Rosebery adheres
absolutely to his opinion that the Liber-
al party is indissolubly bound to free
trade and that anything like an i'm
perial commercial league would weaken
the empire internally and excite the
permanent hostility of the whole world.
IL a letter to constituent, Mr..
Chamberlain further emphasizes his be-
lief in the necessity of an imperial COM
mercial league. He says:
Il am firmly convinced that the pros
perity of this country depends largely
on our trade with the colonies which
under wise system of mutual conces-
sion will increase by leaps and bounds.
We have been apt in the past to con-
slider too much the advantage of buy
ing cheaply, and not to pay sufficient
attention to methods whereby we may
have the means that enable US to pay
at. Increased wages are even more i'm
portant to the working classes than re-
duced cost of living"
Mr.. Chamberlain adds that he has the
fullest confidence in the working
classes and their power to realize the
great issues which depend upon our
present action"

the full schedule of exercises is now
complete. They will not differ mater
tally from those of recent years, though
there are some minor changes. The

delivered by President Berry. During
the years intervening since the death
of President Chase this sermon has
been delivered by different men not di
rectly connected with the school. But

lister to the head of the institution, it
is felt proper and fitting that this part
of commencement should revert to the
former usage of having the president
of the school deliver the sermon-eS
pecially in view of Pres. Berry's eX
cellent qualifications for such a task.

will be carried out, this year, as had
formerly been the case. Ivy day exer-
