THE PARTICULARS WANTED
Of Chamberlain's Scheme and He Will
Surely Give Them to Public.

London, Oct while there is no
evidence of rush on the part of the
exponents of public opinion or of the
electorate to give Joseph Chamber
lain's fiscal proposals immediate en-
dorsement, there is ample proof of {,
desire to exhaustively examine his pro-
gram and accept or reject it on its mer-
It's. rather than on party lines. 1t is
realized that the attitude of the colo
MES is probably the important factor
in his scheme, and what they will say
to his statement that they are prepared
TO contribute towards imperial prefer
entail trade. will largely determine the
ultimate decision Of this country.
The critics of the former secretary
for the colonies claim that his whole
diagnosis of the present state OF the
trade if the United Kingdom hangs on
a blundcr in the comparisons of eX-
ports of 1902 with those Of 1877. The
latter year was VIGOROUSLY phenomenal
rs an export year, because of the re-
oplirements of Germany and france
after the war between these two couh-
tries and it is pointed out that Great
Britain furnished the great bulk OF
these and that her exports consequent
~ bounded up from $1.115,o 0oo 600 in lSI
to I,2Sc 900 000 in 1872, after which they
gradually receded to the same total as
IN 1871. 1t is therefore contended by the
critics that the whole fabric of Mr..
Chamberlains argument is based on
the error and that while his hscal
arithmetic is logical. his premises are
hypothetical and improved.
1t is anticipated that the colonies VIII
resent Mr.. Chamberlain's suggestion
that British colonial manufacturing
growth should be thwarted for the BEN
eft of British manufactures. On the
whole the former colonial secretary
announcement is not unfaVorably re-
ceived. In the stock Exchange the va
rious departments opened with better
all round tone.
The Evening Standard, staunch
Liberal organ, commenting on MI.
Chamberlain's speech, says:
although his speech strengthens the
conclusion that the movement has been
premature and that the facts which
are held to Justify it have been loosely
collected and only half aSsimilated.

WILL NOT LEAVE
Russia Says She Will Never
Eyacuate Manchuria
Until Every Demand Is Granted
China Appeals to Japan
p,..;, no;no Just What She Agreed
Not to Do.

Yokohama, Oct. 7.-According to in
formation received here, the Russian
minister at Pekin, NJ. Lessar, has in
formed the Chinese foreign office that
Russia will never evacuate Manchuria
unless her demands are granted.
China, it is added, has appealed to
the Japanese minister, M. Uchida, for
Japanese assistance.
The japanese residents of Jef-Wie-Ju
have filed a petition with the foreign
Office at Toxic, asking that a japanese
warship and troops be sent to protect
their interests, in view of the menacing
attitude of Russia. The reply of Japan
is not yet known. The Press, which re-
ported the fertilization by Russia of
Yongampho on the Korean bank of the
Yalu river, considers this action as a
possible casus belli as being an in
fringement of Korean integrity. The
report, however, is not confirmed Off
cially.
The Russian minister had another
conference with the Japanese foreign
minister, yesterday. The Japaneses
premier had an audience with the En-
peror the same day.
1t is now feared that the promised
Russian concessions are insufficient to
offset her continuous menace to Korea
nor is the Chino-Japanese commercial
treaty to be signed oct s, thought ade-
quate to compensate for a permanent
Russian occupation.
A rumOr current, this evening, says
that definite Russian demands concern
ing Manchuria and Korea have beer
presented to Japan by the Russian min
lister.

TILLMAN'S DEFENCE
Is that Gonzales Had Threatened and
He Acted in Self defence.

Lexington, S. c., Oct THE trial of
). ii. Tlllman was resumed, today, the
juror, Milton Sharpe. who has been
SICK, having improved sufficiently to
permit him to be in court. The State
rested without the introduction of fur
Their testimony and the defense entered
at once upon the presentation of its
case. Counsel for the defendant first
recalled the motion made early in the
trial that the court instruct the jury to
disregard all testimony given by wit
nesses for the State showing weapon
in the possession of the defendant
prior to the shooting. The court ruled
the testimony to be competent. Cdto-
rails from the Columbia State referring
to the defendant were read by counsel
for the defense and offered in evidence.
TIL first witness called by the defense
was T. B. Mitchell. who lived in Column
bia in 9O2. He testified that he had
conversation with Gonzales relative to
]. H. Tillman, reciting what he stated
Gonzales said concernig the defendant.
The witness said among other things:
He said: L can slap his face and he
would not resent it, and he said if he
ever bats his eyes at me, I'll fill him so
full of lead that he will never tote it
of. -
The witness said he subsequently told
Mir. Tillman what he stated Gonzales
said to him. On cross-eXamination he
said he forced the conversation on
Gonzales.
A. j. Flowers testified that during
the summer of 902. he overheard Con
tales say if Tillman was elected he
never would be seated. Witness, added
that he heard Gonzales say he would
kill the rascal
p. w. Hunghes of Warrenton, SAID
! he was in Columbia III 1902, and while
walking down Main street. with TOUR
! men. they met Gonzales. Mr. Stroud of
| their number, he said, was asked by
Gonzales about the mill vote. He said
h, asked Gonzales if he did not think
he had done Mr.. Tillman great injus-
| ,ice. to which Gonzales replied that ne
would get q greater injustice after
election and it ought to be Lead.
| August p. A. Lock testified that ne
heard this conversation. N. b. che
shire printer on an Anderson news
parer, was asked to state what h. told
Tilman at campaign meeting IN
Anderson in 1900. Witness said:
| Il told him a representative of the
Estate newSpaper) told me That Con
Izales carried a gun for him and that
he had better not jump on him with
lstick for if he did he would get his
head shot Off him.

CHAMBERLAIN AGAIN SPEAKS.
Addresses 1000 at Greenoch, Scot, on
Retaliation and Reciprocity.

London, Oct 7.-Continuing the fiscal
campaign, Mr.. Chamberlain, tonight.
addressed a meeting of 1000 persons in
the Town hall of Greenock, Scotland.
He dealt particularly with the ques
tions of retaliation and reciprocity.
The late colonial secretary said that
he was free trader and wanted to live
tremendously with his neighbors, but
he desired free exchange with all ma
tions. If they would not exchange he
was not a free trader at any price. He
respected "our American countries and
had considerable respect for Germans
and great respect and greater friend
shin for the French. The policy of
these nations was to use tariffs TO ease
the home trade and exclude foreign
trade, while under the present system
! in the United Kingdom trade was
steadily decreasing.
| Asking why the foreign protective
countries. even small notions like
Sweden. had all prospered he said that
he believed they We're better strate-
gists than the British. Their policy as
,enunciated by the late President Nc
kinley and by the greatest OF Ameri-
can long before, namely, Lincoln. by
Bismark, and other distinguished
statesmen, had Il great deal behind it
He continued Il say that you are in
consistent. You are adopting a suicid-
al course. If you persist in the pres
ent policy your workmen must either
take lower wages or lose their work.
Mr.. Chamberlain proceeded to refer
to the enormous output of the United
St,f h.
diminishing home demand in the
United States for steel and contended
that his steel would be sent to Grea,
Britain. the only free market and lie
said: Il warn you that within two OF
three years, you will have dumped here
10, 100000 tons of American iron, and
! thousands of British workmen will loss
employment for the sole benefit OF
American manufacturers and Ameri-
can workmen. | sympathize Wit
American workmen, but after all ] be
long to England. and | am not cosmo-
politan enough to see the happiness
and prosperity of American workmeI
secured by the starvation and misery OF
the British
! The speaker said that agriculture il
Great Britain was practically destroy
ed. The sugar trade was gone. he
silk trade gone, the iron and wool in
dllstries We're threatened and the same
fate would come to the cotton trade
He continued: "How long are you so
ling to stand it? England is not afr1l(
of foreign countries. She is the great
est market in the world, and foreign
countries are her best customers
| In conclusion, Mr.. Chamberlain said
that he had been told that he was FISK
ing his political life, but he had r'skct
it before and he had no fear for The
personal results.

DANGEROUS, ALL RIGHT.
The Submarine Shark Rams and Near
Iy Sinks the DahIgren.

New York, oct. THE submarine
boat Shark. during a trial at Green
port, l.. L.. today. rammed the torpedo
boat Dahlgren, which barely escaped
with another crew of seven men. Lieut..
c. Nelson took the Shark out for a trial
and steamed out into the middle of the
bay, making several quick dives. When
she reached the opposite shore she
headed back for long spin under wa
ter. The boat poked her nose under
the surface and diyed down IS feet. 1t
was planned to run 81 miles ut the
rate of 6R miles an hour. Therefore
those who figured when she would rise
were becoming alarmed when she did
not appear, when suddenly she rose
less than 20 feet from the Dahlgren
which was lying ut the dock
Lieut.. Nelson signalled to reverse her
engines, but her Roadway was too strong
and she crashed into the port side of The
Dahigrcn. lying at the pier. Water i'm
mediatelv rushed into the Dahgrcn and
she settled Immediately. The sailors
rushed for the collisions mat which was
placed over the gap where, the water was
rushing in. The steam pump was started
and after half an hours hard work got
control of the water. An examination
showed that Il hole four feet long had been
torn through the plate just aft of the
engine ROOM The only mark on the Shark
vas the tearing Of the paint from her
ram-ike bow.
Lieut. Nelson said afterward that the
strong ebb tide made the Shark momenta-
rily uncomfortable. He had figured to run
to the surface Il short distance from the
n ~.
to run close to an enemy and back quick
ly away.
