London.-The Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, for years the most COM
manding figure in British national and
international politics. died here at his
home in Princes Garden, S. w.
Cham berlain succumbed after a pro-
tracted illness which for years de-
barred him from an active part in pub
lie affairs Several months ago he an
nounced that he would not again stand
for reelection to Parliament, and for
several years, on account OF his age
and feebleness, he seldom was seen on
the floor of the Commons, where his
tall form-and the ever-present mono
Gle in his eye-made him landmark.
Chamberlain was born IN 1886 in the
city OF birmingham, which fer many
years he held. politically in the hollow
of his hand. He was varfously known
as "Brummagem Joe" and as the King
OF Birmingham" His power in the mid
land city was almost absolute. All the
seven parliamentary seats OF the great
manufacturing city are held by Cham
berlain nominees and a politician he
opposed was simply wasting time when
he made the race for Parliaments
Chamberlain had huge copmercial
interests throughout England and was
enormously wealthy.
Chamberlain was thrice married, his
last wife, who until his death nursed
him with rare solicitude, being Mary.
only daughter of Judge w. C. Endicott.
who was secretary of war in the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland.
The dead statesman started political
life as a Radical. but left Gladstone's
party on the question of home rule for
Ireland, TO which he was bitterly op-
posed He held the highest posts in
conservative administrations and was
secretary to the colonies from 1895 to
1903
While Chamberlain greatest claim
to fame was his determined and bril-
liant advocacy for years of protect
i've policy for Great Britain. the cita-
del of free trade, he will also be re-
remembered as the bitterest and most
forceful opponent of Gladstone in that
statesmans efforts for home rule for
ireland; as one Of the founders of the
Liberal-U party and as the min
lister whose policy in South Africa in
yolved his country in the greatest war
it had experienced since the Crimean
conflict, but hlotted out the two Boer
republics and made South Africa all
red"
1t is reported that King George Is
likely posthumously to honor Joseph
Chamberlain by comforting title on
his widow. formerly Mary Endicott,
daughter OF the late William G. End1-
colt OF Salem. Massachusetts. Mr.
Chamberlain himself persistently re-
fused to accept any title.
The Dean of Westminster offered to
the family interment in Westminster
Abbey for the dead statesman, but
his relatives decided to abide by his
wishes and have him buried at Blrm-
lngham.
