CHAMBERLAIN AND
BALF0UR AT ODDS
Split in the UniOnist Party Is Now Rec
ognized and Has Caused a Great
Discussion in English Politics.

London, Feb. 5.--That there is a split
in the unionst party is recognized as an
existing fact by the Unionist newspa-
pers this morning. They say il is de-
tihitely known that Mr.. Balfour and
Mr. Chamberlain have agreed to disagree
and that it is believed MIR. Chamberlain
win withdraw from his adhesion TO Mr..
Balfour and organize separate party
on tariff reform. This, it is admitted
by the Standard, the Morning Post and
other UDionist newspapers, viii be the
only course open 10 Mr.. Chamberlain,
unless indeed, Mr.. Balfour decides to
call meeting Of the party and allow
it's members to decide the question OF
leadership.
The whole situation forms the politi-
cal sensation of the hour and nothing
else is discussed in the political clubs.
1T was stated very emphatically yester.
day that If Mr.. Balfour woud not agree
to call a meeting Of the party former
secretary Of state for home affairs,
Akers. Douglas, would be appointed lead.
er ad interim until Mr.. Balfour is return
cd to parliament by the city OF London.
There is still d remote chance OF Wal.
ter Hume Long, former president Of the
local government board, being asked TO
accept the leadership under COM
prcilse, but well informed persons say
positively that Mr.. Balfour will decline
anything like a compromise, while Mr..
Chamberlain insists on standing for
protection
II is eyen intimated that the invita-.
tion to M Balfour to stand for The seat
for the city Of London, resigned in his
favor by Alban G. H. Gibbs, may be
withdrawn unless he goes over to Mr..
Chamberlain, but this is believed to be
hardly likely.
The Liberals viii decide today whether
they win contest the scat for the city
Of London, and in view Of the latest
developments, there is likelihood OF
Mr.. Balfour having to fight for it.
