A MOMENTOUS DISCUSSION
CHAMBERLAIN MAKES BOLD
 SPEECH IN COMMONS.
Farther Develops Policy That May Cause Reversal of Great BrItain's self ahe Strong Man of the Cabinet.

London, May 2S.-Mr. Chamberlain has again proved himself the strong man of the cabinet. In a debate which may prove the most momentous of the present parliament he, in frank and bold speech, further developed the poll icy which will be universally regarded as an entire reversal of Great Britain's fiscal position, and at the same time he proved that he has managed to carry the government with him against its convictions.
 The impression left on the minds of the crowded chamber was that the cab- inet is on the eve of dissolution, and that, as in 1900 MT. Chamberlain carried the country with him on the South Af- rican war policy, he has now converted his colleagues to the belief that he will be able to carry it again on the policy of preferential trade within the empire. In addition to asking for mandate to the food, he asks for power to engage in tariff war with Germany on Cah- ada's account and to fight the American trusts.
 The debate practically ended with MT. Chamberlain's speech and the house emptied into the Hobbies, few staying to hear Winston Churchill declare open hostility to the colonial secretary's pol icy What little enthusiasm was dis played was on the liberal side of the house. The conservatives listened to the speech in chilling silence, indicative of alarm and uncertainty as to the out come of the unexpected situation. Nearly hundred conservative mem bers immediately intimated to the gov- ernment whip and to MT. Chamberlain their intention to take the opinion Of their constituents on the new policy during the Whitsuntide recess.
 Among the liberal members great confidence was expressed that upon such a straight and well-defined issue they could fight as strong, united party. while the speeches of Lord Hugh Cecil and Winston Churchill in the course of the debate showed that strong section of the conservative party is absolutely opposed to MT Chamber lain's policy. fs-
 During the debate after question put by David Lloyd-George, Welsh nation alist, in reply to whom MT. Balfour in- timated that the government did not propose to deal with the question before the dissolution of parliament.M MT. Cham berlain expressed surprise at the fact that his speech at Birmingham May l5 had aroused such attention. It was, the colonial secretary said. absolutely the same in substance as speeches deliver ed by Lord Salisbury and MT. Balfour There was absolutely no difference of opinion between himself and MT. Bal four. Although nothing was now sug- gested in the nature of reversal oi British ascal policy. it was certain 8 mandate must be given the government if the suggestions that he had thrown out were to be carried into effect.
 MT. Chamberlain wished to make his own position clear. He would do his utmost to bring this question in all its bearings before the people. Thus far he (Continued nn Third Page)

 and Medicine.

Stamford. Conn. May 2S.-After la- boring with George Francis Train, who is i'll with smallpox, all day and part of this evening his physician and nurse fin- ally induced him to reconsider his deter imitation not to take nourishment or medicine.

Trains daughter agreed to follow the wishes of her father. The patient was reported to be trif1e more quiet tonight. The crisis of the disease has not yet been passed.

Grand Exodus For the Burnt

The discovery Of phonolite on Camp
Greek in the lower Burnt River
country is creating q great deal of
excitement in Sumpter and
surrounding points. Several persons
left yesterday for the scene of the
discovery, and this morning no less
than six started for the seat Of
phonolite excitement. Others are
preparing to go. Clark Snyde
thought he would be able to join. the
exodus today, but was detained by
business matters and will probably

The Daily Miner printed an article
descriptive of this phonolite forma-

and there has been grand rush for

quested that no cannon or ordnance
be fired along the line of parade or

home of Mr.. Carnegie in New York,
but the financier refused to see him.
Later Mr.. Carnegie's private secre-
tary wrote to the senator in Wash
ington stating that the matter would
be taken UP later.
Senator Turner replied tartly that
as for himself he was outside any
arrangements that might be made.
1t is presumed the open and unex-
pected offer was sent partly as a
salve to the wounded feelings of the
senator. In turn, the senator has
been made jubilant by the tender of
the $4,000.
1t has been a requirement of Mr..
Carnegie that his libraries be built
after plans furnished by himself, or
after plans that meet his approval.
In some cities similar in population
to Spokane, such towns as York, Pa,
Lancaster, Pa, and South Bethlehem,
Pa, the Carnegie offer has not been
accepted because those cities were
unwilling to accept the perpetuity of
10 per cent for maintenance. In
York, Pa, it was argued that the
city could borrow money for less
than per cent, and that it would be
cheaper for the city to build its own
library than to accept the Carnegie
gift. 1t was pointed out that in 10
years the maintenance would amount
to as much as the gift itself.

LEGISLATURE May
amend MINING LAWS

The premier has announced his
readiness to again enact legislation
aiming at the exclusion of Japanese.
The dominion government has prac-
tically excluded Chinese by the i'm
position of n head tax of $500. 1t is
not believed, however, that the fed
eral government will attempt any
thing in the way of excluding Jap
anese, 1t being considered sufficient
to trust to the Japanese government
carrying out a compact made year
and q half ago, by which it restrain
ed the emigration of it's countrymen
to Canada.
The provincial government will not,
it is thought. consider this suf-
ficient safeguard for British Column
bia, and will in all probability enact
legislation in line with the Natal act
of other years, making such law OPP
erative by proclamation of the lieu
tenant governor in council. In this
way, it is felt, a safeguard would
be provided against the possibility
of the restraining order of the Jap
anese government being removed.
