Scheme for Independent Communi- With All Parts of the Colonial Con- cation Empire--What ference May Do. London, July 15.--The National liberal club gave a dinner last night in honor of the colonial prime minis ters who are visiting London. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, in propos ing a toast to the guests, eulogizel the brillant chdracter of the men called for by the revolution of the North American colonies. He said that if he had felt that if the breed was dying out he was now assured that the colonies could, to-day, fur nish such men. sir Walfrid prime minister, Laurier, the Canadian in responding to the woast, said that no reform had been so prolilic as that which gave the colonies the right of self-government. Mr. Barton, prime minister of the Australian commonwealth, made a speech, in which he again rejected the wea of a British zolleverein. He said that Australia could not afford to forego her customs collections She was quite ready to defend her own hores and contribute to the naval defence of the southern colonies. She lid not ask for representation in the imperial parliament. There is reason to believe that when the conference of colonial premiers is resumed, probably two weeks hence, the questions of all-British govern ment cable communication between the various parts of the empire will be discussed and settled. The Pacific cable joining Canada and Australasia is approaching com pletion, and the project favored is to lay more cables so as to give the government direct independent com munication to the Mediterranean. sta tions, India and China, at an estima ted cost of $20,000,000. This will in- clude the compulsory sale at a price to be fixed by arbitration of the lines of the Eastern extension telegraph company. from South Africa to Aus tralia. The present, indications are that the imperial government and the colonies will reach an agreement in this matter both in principle and in the main details, despite the desper ate efforts of the Eastern company to prevent it. What Is Being Said. A good many tongues have been set loose by the events of the last twen ty four hours, but the political - Ton is not yet clear. Sir Michael Hicks Beach's retirement was unex pected, but belps to explain Mr. Chamberlain's loyalty to Mr. Bal four, and his contentment with "the new turn of alisirs, Mr. Chamberlain is released from the antagonism of a powerful will, which was pitted against his own in colossal and linan cul questions. The ultimate results caunot yet be forecast since Sir Mich vel Hicks Beach's resignation is em porarily withdrawn but the cabinet will be dominated completely by Mi Chamberlain's aggressive 'force of character. The prime minster, with all his amiabilities, cannot resist the pressure of the powerful will, strong and sincere as may be Myx. Chamber lain's friendship for him. Various forecasts are made respect ing the impending cabinet changes One is Mr. Balfour's ultimate eleva tion to the upper house. This less probable now that Sir Hicks-Beach is going out and the duke of! Devonshire has taken the leadership of the upper house. Mr Balfour's friends assert that be has a strong preference for the house of commons, and has been warned by lord Rosebery's experience that a party leader is not safe in the house of lords when he has a powerful rival leader in the house of chmmons. An other prediction is the transfer of Mr Chamberlain from the colonial office to the treasury. This seems hardly credible unless Mr. Balfour intends to accept a peerage after the education bill has been enacted in the autumn session, and leave Mr. Chamberlain as leader of -the commons. Another explanation is the appoint ment of some rising man, like George Wyndham, as chancellor of the ox chequer. Rir Michael Hicks Beach himself hinted that a younger man would succeed him seems Michael PRAISE KITCHENER. Paris Papers Have Suddenly Re- vised Their Opinions.
