of the country and he did not think this
was impracticable. He did not regard free
trade as a part OF the summons for res
traint" but the question arose whether
II would be wise, without long and deep
consideration, TO change the fiscal system
under which Great Britain had achieved
it's commercial success.
I'VE must consider" continued Lord
Rosebery, whether It would be judicious
to quarrel with customers who give us
two-thirds and possibly three-quarters of
our trade in order to oblige customers who
give us a quarter of 1t or only a third of
1t. A conference between British and
Colonial financial experts should precede
any alteration in the British fiscal sys-

Lord Rosebery dealt with Mr.. Chamber.
lain's scheme in a judicial manner, being
careful neither to approve nor condemn
1t, but on the whole showing that he had
no great sympathy with II.

nothing else except for President Burt and
representatives Of the strikers to come on

could, without troubling Mr. Hartman
who was a very sick man.
From the market this afternoon 1t was
indicated that Wall street believed In the
settlement implicitly, though there was a
slight heaviness from sympathy with the
declining securities Of allied roads, but
Union Pacific rallied over a point at the
close on the assurance Of Union Paciho
brokers that the strike was amicably set

shopmen refused to discuss the matter at
all. saying the final negotiations were not
ali completed, but from their manner 1t

that a favorable settlement, II not already
reached, soon would be. They would not
say when they expected to return TO the
