Tells Hostile audience He Would
Not Tar 1t or Wool.

London Jan. 11.-Joseph Chamberlain, speak
ing at Preston tonight, defended his fiscal pol

Der of influential Lancashire men have pub
lished in the newspapers series of questions
which they wanted Mr.. Chamberlain to answer
TO how his policy would affect the trade in
cotton goods with India. China and other neutral
markets. and altogether the meeting was none
too sympathetic with Mr.. Chamberlans policy.
Repeating his usual arguments, Mr.. Chamber
lain declared he would never again hold office In
the government unless he could advance the
great cause to which he had dedicated the re-
mainder Of his strength and life Referring to
the Board Of Trade returns, showing that 1904
was the record year for British trade Mr.. Cham
berlain cOntended that il did not matter SO long
as protected countries were increasing their
trade TO a greater extent than Great Britain,
and that the increase in 1904 was largely due to
the increased price of raw cotton. He declined
TO reply in detail 20 the questions published in
the newspapers. or TO the ''conundrums," as he
called them, because they had not been sub
mitted TO him before their publication in the
press, but he frankly declared that in no circum-
stances would he tax raw cotton wool. He
quoted statistics TO show that instead off enjoy
ing II per cent OF the worlds cotton trade as in
1888, Great Britain now has only % per cent,
while the Continent and America greatly in

Chamberlain said he desired to reduce the duty

JUDGE PRAISES SULTAN.
o. S. Straus Says Dispute OUer
Building Cruiser Made Him Resign.

Judge Wallace made a complimentary ref
erence yesterday to the business methods of the
Sultan of Turkey at the close OF an action in
wh~h Captain Adrian Tromp was suing the
Cramp shipbuilding concern for commissions in
negotiating the sale OF an American built cruiser
20 the Turkish government The jury decided
that Captain Tromp was not entitled TO any ad-
ditional remuneration for his services at Con-
stantinople.
Oscar S. Straus. former Minister to Turkey,
said that he had tried TO bring the Porte to
terms on the question of indemnity for outrages
committed Americans and added that his de-
parture in 1900 was really because the Sultan
had not made a contract for an American
cruiser with Captain Tromp 1t was arranged,
the plaintiff said, that the vessel should cost
S2.200.0o0. but after the deal had been completed
the order was changed for a vessel. now Turk
fish warship. to cost $1.sO0000
This change, Captain Tromp said. did not af
feet his contention that he was entitled to COM
missions amounting TO $4,000 with interest. be-
cause it was through his primary negotia atoms
with the Sultan that the Turkish government
decided to make peace with the United States
by the purchase of an American built cruiser.
lawyer of the Crarnp concern said that these
negotiations had failed, and that the vessel
finally built was arranged for by other persons.
Norman C. Johnson said that the Sultan paid
the indemnity by giving the Cramps an order
for a warship and that it was through Captain
Tromp's negotiations that the vessel finally
ordered.
Judge Wallace declared that it was true that
the Turkish government had recognized the va
lidity of the American claim for indemnity, but
that it was unwilling to have It known that it
had yielded TO the American governments COM
mand. Then. Judge Wallace said. it
ranged that the dispute could be settled AMIGA
bly, by an order to he Cramps for a cruiser. and
the indemnity to be included in the price
of the vessel.
In closing the judge asserted:
1t appears by the evidence that the Sultan is
the real ruler of Turkey, and that he is a thor
ough business man. His subordinates might go
as FAR as they chose hut any arrangement they
might make would have effect until IT got the
Sultan's o *. 1 wish all our affairs could be
conducted in such a business way, and by as
