BRITISH TARIFF, COMMISSION.
Chamberlain Makes Eloquent Speech
s at Opening Session.

London, Jan. Joseph Chamber.
lain presided at the first meeting Of
the tariff commission, which Assem-.
bled during the afternoon with large
attendance of members, including
Henry Chaplin, formerly president Of
the board Of agriculture and formerly
president of the local government
board; Sir Robert Herbert, formerly
under secretary of state for the col.
onies and at one time agent general
for Tasmania; Sir Alfred Johns, presi.
dent of the Liverpool chamber Of com.
merce and. president OF the Liverpool
Shipowners' association; c.. A. Pear.
son, the well known newspaper pro.
prietor. and Alfred Mosely, who has
Z sent two commissions to the United
States to inquire into trade and edu.
cational conditions in that country.
ID Mr. Chamberlain, in opening the
procee dings, made an eloquent and
inspiring speech, during which he
drew a parallel from what the United
States and Germany have accom-.
plished under protective tariffs and de
MED that any tariff could be framed
here which, as its opponents alleged
would make the rich richer and the
poor poorer. The United States, un
der protection, had reached prosperity
unequaled in the world. In no othel
country was wealth SO evenly distrib
uted, while there was no country II
the world where, such large proper
ton Of the population was on the verge
Of distress as in England. %,..s5a
Mr.. Chamberlain said the object o.
the commission was not to formulate
tariff laws, but to investigate and in
quire with open minds. All that haG
thus far been decided was that the
policy adopted SO many. years ago re
quired reform. ~ r. :~.'s'--,v

Washington, Jan. 16 State depart.

extraordinary activity In the prepare
\ ton for war. These add to the pessi.
mistic feeling already existing here
respecting the probability OF amicable
I adjustment: OF the Russo Japanese
trouble. Meanwhile the Japanese gov

3perately to find some possible means
Of settlement. but the. state depart
ment learns that, while protesting q
desire for peace, the Russian position,
ut least In principle, remains IN.
changed and there is no sign of q
disposition to yield to the Japanese
proposal. Still the official opinion
here is that If left to diplomacy the
& present situation may continue for
several Gays or even weeks. The two
chances Of an earlier breach are said
to be found in the possibility Of the
immediate occupation Of Korean points
BY Japanese forces and the presence

sian and Japanese warships.

Hongkong Is the ideal British crown

diadsm" of King Edward, ETC., ETC., of
which every Englishman Is proud. Sir
William Des voeux. for long time gov
ernor, once declared: ut may be doubted
whether the evidences OF material and
moral achievements, presented as 1t were
in the focus, make anywhere more forcibie
appeal to eye and Imagination, and whether
any other spot on the earth is thus more
likely to excite or much more fully justifes
pride In the name of Englishmen."
That is a very long and involved coppli-
ment, and Sir William Des Voeux has had
named after him the second best street in
Hongkong But no differences should be
drawn. / do not know whether the street
was named before or after this exuberant
opinion was expressed, but 1t makes no diff
ference. Hongkong is a monument OF Brit
ish enterprise; a realization of the British
ideal of colonial government; an asylum for
the oppressed; hospitables home for wan
derers of every race and nation; where
freedom, liberty, tolerations and other ma
tional virtues are exempliffed in the high
est degree; where people can come and go
at will without answering questions; where
there is no custom house and no regulations
to interfere with the comfort and conyen-
fence of travellers
For its hospitality Hongkong has been
literally rewarded. There is no more pros
