BALF0UR FOR
ABSOLUTE
FREE TRADE

Leeds. England, Dec. 19,-Former Pre-
mier Balfour addressed 5000 persons at
the coliseum here last night. devoting his
speech almost exclusively TO a discussion
OF the fiscal policy, on which the Union
lists would conduct the campaign.
He admitted the existence OF differcn-
ces within his party over the fiscal ques-
tion and said that protection as against
free trade had been n subject OF dispute
inside the party prior to and since he
was born. The scheme OF retaliation
and OF colonial preference outlined In his
previous speeches. he said, In no wise
pretudiced the question.
Protection may be right or II may he
wrong" said Mr.. Balfour, but / belong
TO that section Of your party which is
for free trade and which Is not for pro-
lection"
Retaliation for dumping" and fiscal
union with the colonies he continued,
were absolutely consistent with free
trade and were not less consistent with
views OF those who would like TO see the
country return to the policy OF the Unit
ed States and other countries.
A general tariff might be a good start
ing point but a general tariff construct
cd OF protectionists lines was altogether
outside the scope OF the fiscal reform
which Mr.. Balfour was proposing for ac-
ceptance by the Unionist electors.

Five Brothers Killed.

The police ascribe the killing OF Gae'
tau, Costa, a wealthy Sicilian, who was
shot TO death in Brooklyn, to the Ca
mora, the dread NeapOlitan organiza-
ton. They have learned that Costa
was the last of FIVE brothers who were
sentenced to death by the society Tor III.
yoking the law against its chief, and
that the sentence has now been executed
on all five. Costa, a scion OF one OF the
wealthiest families of Messina, a gradu-
ate of the Real Academia-Carolina, or
Royal College, never sought police pro-
lection. He knew his lot had been cast,
and that if he informed no power on
earth could prevent the assassius having
revenge on his sisters and his own fami'
". Love for his sisters, recluse, liy.
ing in New York, and for his wife and
children, whom he was forced to leave
in Italy, compelled Costa TO keep silence.
The executor of Costa's fathers estate
looted it for $3S, 900, princely sum IN
Italy, and the brothers proceeded to Sc
cure his arrest and conviction, though
warned that he was chief of the Camorra
they were informed that the death sen
tence had been passed on them and al
fled to America.
