ENGLAND, which mas been free
trade country since the days of Cob
den, is now on the verge Of tariff
war, with a possible reversal of it's
long continued fiscal policy. Cham
berlain, the great minister for the
colonies, has resigned. Ritche and
Hamilton have, too, and Balfour is
an avowed protectionist. Chamber
lain's scheme is free trade between
the colonies Of the empire, but re-
taliatory duties against all other
countries. The United States is
the country that would be most se-
verely hit if his tariff views should
prevail. Not only the American
manufacturer, but the American
farmer to even a greater degree
would be injured, as the Chamber
lain scheme contemplates "a self
sufficient empire as regards it's food
supply. Great Britain is our best
customer, and from the Chamber
lain point of view we are the worst
enemy. industrially, Of the British
people. It is against the United
States that he would, by his prefer
ential tariff schemes, defend the
resources Of the empire and the in
dustries of the United Kingdom. !"
Whether any such reversal of the
fiscal policy of Great Britain would
be beneficial to that country, is
problematical, and may not be tole-
rated by the British people. Tariff
is a sword that cuts both ways. It
may be possible by tariff policy to
injure another country without con-
ferring corresponding benefit on
ones own. We hope that Chamber
lain will be showed under with his
tariff views.

THE SULTAN GAINS
A DECIDED VICTORY.

TANGIER, Morocco, Feb. 2.-The
details of the sultans victory Thurs
day, over the forces of the pretender,
show that te battle was stubbornly
contested and the formers success
was largely due to the cooperation
at a critical moment, of the Benz Our
ems tribe whose detection from the
rebels the sultan had previously pur-
chased. The sultan's artillery, which
was commanded by the minister OF
war, Ell Mene-bhi, consisted OF eight
maxims and four krupps. The sui
tan's troops opened the attack early
in the morning and shortly afterward
the pretender's camp was assailed in
the rear by the Benz Oureins. In spite
of the surprise and disadvantages OF
the position the rebels stubbornly
maintained their ground and desperate
fighting continued for three hours.
The slaughter was very great. The
remains of the rebels army then
broke, abandoned the camp and fed
in the direction OF Taxa The iln-
perial troops are pursuing and if Blu
Ramapa is not among the slain his
capture is confidently expected.

WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. e.
Companies of the First and Second

various parts of the city, ready for
an emergency on call on account of
the troliy strike situation. The Con-
necticut Railway and Lighting COM
pany officials re-opened their lines for
business this morning. The first car
was sent from the barns at $50 and
traffic was soon under way on all the
lines. There were few passengers on
the early cars, but no disturbances
were reported.
The streets about the business Sec
tion were thronged and although a
number or arrests for drunkenness were
made there were no serious disturb

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. e.
Minister Bowen is willing that the
allied powers shall receive preferen-
tial payments of their claims against
Venezuela for the period of one month,
provided they accept the remainder
of his proposition and agree to the
immediate lifting of the blockade. He
informed the representatives Of the
allied powers here to this effect sew
eral days ago, but has not yet received
an answer This important fact was
developed today by the announcement
from another quarter that the allies
might be induced to modify their de-
mand that they be paid before the
other claimant nations, to the extent
of contenting themselves with prefer
entail treatment for six months or
perhaps a year. The situation is
somewhat complicated by the action
of President Castro in cabling to
Washington that he desires that all
claimant nations be accorded the same
treatment.

scious. He was taken back to his room
in the hotel where he died shortly

tie Square Opera company, said: 1T
