Grave Dissatisfaction Premier
Expects Chamberlain to Return to
Cabinet If He Himself Is Returned.
London, Sept 19-The political crisis
is still the sole topic of discussion in
the United Kingdom. Premier Balfour
is expected to have an audience of
King Edward at Balmora1 when doubt
less he will present the nominations
for the cabinet vacancies. The exact
nature of these appointments still con-
tinues a matter of varied surmise.
Regarding the eventual result of the
upheaval the Spectators forecast, that
Mr.. Balfour. when he appeals to the
country. will be beaten and succeed
ed by a Rosebery cabinet which will
not last long, attracts the greatest at
tention.
A curious phase of the situation is
the severe criticism regardless of party
lines, bestowed on Mr.. Balfour's ac-
ton in publishing his views and SELL
ing them in pamphlet form. The
Premier's ineXperience in business af-
fairs now appears to have put him at
the mercy of the publishers of the
pamphlet, who are coming money over
the vital issue in national affairs. The
outlook, which is a warm supporter of
| indiscretion STRIKES a, rude blow at
! ones reverence for the traditions of
English public life"
The outlook estimates that the prof
its on 100000 copies alone will be over
$4,000, of which MIR. Balfour will re-
ceive a large share. The pamphlet
| promises to reach a sale of a million
| copies. In the meantime there are no
pamphlets in print and the copies
printed have reached a premium, many
of them selling for so cents. double
the price of the issue
Mr.. Balfours party managers only
proclaim grave dissatisfaction. In the
| first place, they cannot get any more
copies for their impatient constituent
! cies, and they add that they object to
paying for literature which is supposed
| to be the most powerful aid in keep
ing the government in power
| The Associated Press learns from an
| authoritative source that Mr.. BaIfour
! expects Mr.. Chamberlain TO re-enter
! the cabinet in the event that an appeal
to the country returns MIR. Balfour to
power
Both desire, however, that the cleo
| tons be postponed so long as possible
| in order to give Mr.. Chamberlain the
opportunity to impress his views on the
| people. If the government is returned,
or if a weak Liberal ministry is re-
| tanned in power only a short time, Mr..
| Balfour anticipates that he and Mr..
| Chamberlain will reorganize a new
ministry. According to an authority
| thoroughly cognizant with Mr.. Cham
| berlein's plans, Mr.. Balfour might then
| find Mr.. Chamberlain unwilling to join
| him.
1T has been Mr.. Chamberlain's pur-
| pose" said the person quoted, ito form
a party of his own, and he may take
J advantage of the present opportunity
/ to carry out his intention. His reputa-
! ton as the only public man in England
with a definite policy. coupled with his
strength of will and ability, may en-
| able him to achieve his ambition. In
| case of the success at the election of
| his advanced programme of preferen-
tial tariffs, he would form his own cab
| met and probably displace Mr.. Balfour
| as premier"
Mr.. Balfour and Lord Lansdowne
both went to Balmoral to-day. Mr..
! Brodrick goes there Monday.
