Little do we contest the right OF Great

free to blame for building the ships

London. March 2l.--The news Of the
death of the Duke OF Devonshire at
Cannes came unexpectedly to England,
and has caused widespread regret. AL
though the Duke had been ailing since
he suffered q sudden attack OF heart
weakness at windsor Castle last June,
and In spite Of some alarming reports
that reached London during his sojourn
In Egypt this winter. the recent ac-
counts OF his health had been so reas-
suring that the news of his death has
come almost as surprise.
The death of the Duke leaves a gap
In the public life Of Great Britain for.
although his withdrawal from the Bal
four Ministry when Joseph Chamber
lain launched his fiscal policy. estrang-
ed him from q majority of the party,
he still had a large following In the
country. and as President of the Union
lists Free Trade League. he took an
active part In the campaign against
tariff reform.
Few men have spent a more active
political life than the Duke OF Devon
shire. He had been almost continuous
ly a Cabinet member in charge of some
important department as Liberal be-
fore he split with Gladstone and later
az leader Of the Liberal Unioniste. He
led the Liberals during the temporary
retirement of Gladstone in 1875 and
was offered but refused the premier
ship after the Midlothian campaign Of
1880. He was again offered this honor
upon the defeat Of home rule, but he
again refused.
The Duke was also active socially.
and his entertainments at his Picadilly
residence and at Chatsworth House in
-Derbyshire.s ard Ais ether country
houses were the most notable Of their
kind. The duke has no immediate fam
lily and. the Duixedoyn passes to- his
nephew, Mr.. Cavendish. who married
the daughter OF Lord Lansdowne.
The death Of the Duke places a
badge Of the Order Of the Garter at
the disposal OF King Edward and this.
in accordance with custom, will be re-
turned to his majesty by the successor
to the title. A number OF public Of
fices are also made vacant. notably the
Chancellorship Of Cambridge Univer-
sity, the Lord Acu1ancy OF DerbyBhire
and the provincial Grand Mastership
Of the Derbyshire Masons, post which
the Duke held for half a century. The
Duke owned about $4,000 acres.

each Of which sought supremacy of In
terssts and would try. in the event Of
downfall OF the sovereignty Of the
Porte. to secure the greatest possible
amount Of Turkish territory. Germany
was as much interested as any other
power. the Chancellor said. in the
maintenance Of the status quo founded
on the treaty Of Berlin, and conse-
auentiy Germany greeted with SYM
pathy the project advanced by AUS
tria to extend her Bosnian Railroad
to connect with the Turkish line at MI
trovitea- This extension would fur
Their the advance of civilization. The
barbarities which have taken place In
Macedonia were blows to humanity and
the civilization OF Europe but the pos
sibility Of war. owing to the dissen-
sions among the powers on this ac-
count was contingency stlll more In
supDortable.
4 hope and believe" the Chancellor
said. that the European concert will
be maintained and ! understand that
this flag prevails in the other cabinets
where the slight differences OF opinion
probably soon will be overcome
Continuing his remarks. the lmpe-
rial Chancellor said he regretted that
he was unable TO. give the contents OF
Emperor Williams letter to the Lord
Tweedmouth. First Lord of the Brit
fish Admiralty. which had created such
q stir In England. He said this COM
munication was purely private and the
assertion that II was an attempt to In
fiuence the naval policy of Great Brit
ain. he said. was absolutely with Out
foundation. The German Emperor was
the last man to believe that the pat
riotism of Lord Tweedmouth would al
low him to accept foreign advice re-
garding the British navy. In the same
way Germany would not permit It to
Interfere with her right OF self assert
ing and seif-defense In the building OF
such q neet as was Indispensable for
the defense of her commerce and
coasts.
THE purely defensive character OF
our naval program, In the face OF the
attempts to impute to MS aggressive
Intentions and plans toward 0reai
Britain. cannot be repeated too often
or too sharply" the Prince declared
I'VE desire to live at peace and IN
uuiet with Great Britain and we there
fore feel bitterly that some British
publiclst should continue to talk OF the
German Danger :.
This notwithstanding the fact that
