' PAGE SIX MORE POSTS VACANT Lord Balfour of Burleigh Leaves the Cabinet. WITH HON. ARTHUR R. ELLIO'I _â€".â€"â€"â€"â€" Four Cabinet Positions and One Secretar) ship For Premier Balfour to Fill, and His Efforts to Keep Hinistry Going “'ith Remnants Excite Laughter-Dissolution Inevit- able Before End of Summer. London, Sept. 21.â€"Lord Balfour; of Burleigh, Secretary for Scotland, and Arthur Ralph Douglas Elliot, Financial Secretary of the Treasury, have resi ned, nd their reSign have beengaccepted by the King. Mr. Elliot was not in the Cabinet. These two resignations make a total of, four vaCant Cabinet posts and one secretaryship at Mr. Balfours dis- osition. pHon. Mr. Elliot is a Liberal Union- ist, and sits for the City of Durham, which is a close constituency. He is , editor of The Edinburgh Renew, and is also a Scotchman. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, is e. strong Conservative. He was born in 1849, and is one of the largest. landowners in the United Kingdom. ' He holds 3,000 acres. He is a Scotchman. Dissolution Inevitable. Mr. Balfour's efforts to keep the' Ministry going with remnants only excite laughter. With M}. Chamber-i lain and his 150 members of Parlia- ment let loose in the constituencies armed with a definite policy, disso- lution is inevitable and prObable be- fore the end of next summer. Unless l past experience is to be belied, there } will be the bitterest fight of this | generation. With Mr. Chamberlain! every man who is not an avowed ' friend is an enemy to be hit above I or below the belt. No one has for- l gotten his recent electiOn cry, “Every i vote given for the Liberals is a vote j given for the Boers," and for the i first time in his career Mr. Chamber- 3 lain has no compeer and much less leader to restrain his zeal. Four Distinct Camps. Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain- write to each other as though his ; resignation had made no breach in the party. In truth, the party has i - been split asunder for tWo months past. Toâ€"day, it consists of four distinct camps. First, the retaliaâ€" tors, under Mr. Balfour; second, the preferentialists, under Mr. Chamber- lain; third. the free traders, under Lord Goschen, Sir Michael Hicks-l :each, and Mr. Ritchie: fourth, the‘ wobblers, under nobody in particu- lar. The rctaliators and the prefer- cntiulists together made up about threeâ€"fourths of the party. Mr. Citimhcrluin is confident that all but an insignificant section of these Will I. come under his banner. Drvanshire “'ill Remain. With the resignation of Lord Bal- four nnd Financial Secretary Elliott, both strong frt-o traders, it is un- derstood that the Ministerial resigna- timis are completed and apparently the hike oi llevonshirc has decided to i‘cizmin in the Cabinet. It is practically certain that Alls- l with the exception of To . . will be taken up this morning, and l a few constituencies which were held 3 over for further consideration. ‘ It included: . distance ; boy was not on the wagon and Won ' to explain and then dropped dead. ‘ Mulholland.

CHAMBERLAIN’S 2ND LETTER This Time no Writes to the Tariff Reform Leagueâ€"Says He Agrees With the Views of the We. and “It... They Have flow Sufficient M sad figures to Begin Work. London. Sept. 19.â€"The newspapers this morning are crammed with dis- cussions and speculations regarding the political situation brought about by the resignation of Mr. Chamber- lain, Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie, and Lord George Hamilton, but no fresh development has yet been announced. The Marquis of Lansdowne, regarding whose intenâ€" tions there is the greatest interest has gone to Balmoral to relieve Lord Balfour of Burleigh, as the Minister in attendance on the K1“. Begins Active Preparations. Both political parties have already commenced active preparations for the coming campaign, and the opin- ion is sought of every man of prom- inence at home and in the colonies, whose ideas am likely to have in- fluence. Mr. Asquith, who is by many regarded as the future lead. of the Liberal party, telegraphed yes- terday: "The situation in all its essentials is unchanged. The duty of the Liberals to defend free trade is as plain and urgent as before." The opinion of the colonies is an- xiously canvassed as being the most important factor in the situation. Sir Edmund Barton, the Premier of the Australian Commonwealth, has declared in an interview that he is convinced that Mr. Chamberlain will ultimately triumph, and that until that triumph is achieved there will be no real union of the Empire. The Standard toâ€"day anticipates that Mr. Balfour will have at least four Cabinet seats and two or more under secretaryships at his disposal, and strongly urges him to make a clean sweep of the discredited minis- ters and appoint men of real ability, even such men as Lord Cromer and gain thereby. The Premier's Explanation. Mr. Balfour has reiterated to ' friends that his letter to Mr. Cham- berlain, accepting his resignation, Was not a formal expression regard- ing Mr. Chamberlain's policy, but that he meant what he said. On the ‘ face of it, Mr. Chamberlain and lit. Balfour will continue to work to- gether, but the former Colonial Sec. retary is free from Governmental ob- ‘ ligations and will be able to conduct :1 i'l‘nis is Little’s Store his educational campaign along. line he has all along advocated. Writing yesterday from his Birmingham, his first be Mr. public letter is in reply to C. A. Pearson. chairman of the Executive Council of the Tariff Reform League, who asked if Chamberlain coincides with his view, that the examination of the tarifl may be considered as sum- clently advanced, and that the league should now use its resources to ad- vocate the employment of a tarifl for the purpose of consolidating and developing the resources of the Em- pire and defending the industries of the United Kingdom. Mr. Chamberlain Agrees. Mr. Chamberlain says: “I agree with your views, that we have sum- ; cient material in the Way of facts ‘ and figures. We have now to state MODEL FAIR AT WHITBY.

Mr. Chamberlain then gives his un- 1 derstanding of the position of Tarifl Reform League under two the heads, as coinciding with his posi- “First, e. closer union with the colonies by means of preferential tar- iffs, in order to endeavor to make the Empire self-aumcing as regards its food supply. “Second, the employment of a ter- ‘ tion. Their object, he says, are: ‘ if! as a weapon to secure greater re- ciprocity with foreign nations; or, failing such arrangement, to prevent loss to the home industrial markets under the competition of protected countries by retaliating upon them l the treatment they mote out to us.” “On this understanding," Hr. Chamberlain concludes, "I wish the league success, and the support of everyone desiring the unioe cf the Empire and the contlnued prosperity of British commence." Canada's Opinion of Chamberlain. London. Sept. 19.â€"(C.A.P.)-W. L. Griffith. Lord Strathcona's secre- tary, interviewed, said that Can..- dians, whatever their political color. would freely admit that the adminisâ€" tration of Chamberlain as Colonial Secretary has been a distinct ad- vance in many respects. It was not much to say that Chamberlain in Canada is the most popular living English statesman. Lord Stratuâ€" cona's very high opinion of Cham- ou'lain was well known. ~ Received With Satisfaction.
