LONDON, Oct, 1--Addressing a mass Meeting at Sheflield tonight in connection With the conference of the National U"nion of Conservative association, Premier Bal- four delivered the speech which has long been heralded as the first heavy gun to be fired fo the fiscal reform campaign which I8 absorbing the attention of the United Kingdom, Its colonies,, and, indeed, the whole world, and which has caused the Present British cabinet crisis, the resuit of which it s imposeible to foretell Mr. Balfour. in the course of his speech. @14 not even hint at the successors in the eabinet to Mr. Chamberlain, Tord George Hamilton and Mr. Ritchle, In fact, he did ot mention the ministerial resignations. Jgnoring altogether that phase of the situ- ation on which it was expected he woul make some deciaration, the premier con- fined himself strictly to the tariff question, and his speech was to & large extent a yepetition of the argument contained In his recent pamphlet Tonight's meeting was held in the artillery @rill hail, which was the largest auditorium avaflable.

There are those who would attribute the Importance it has attained to that great speech delivered by u great man, Mr. Chamberlain, in May last, but something more is required to account for & phenomenon unparalleled in the pres- encé of any man I am now addressin Mr. Balfour attributed this prominence to the fact that the country was in closar touch with the colonies as a result of the Jate war and representatives of the min- isters in the colonies had brought before the empire the question of tariff reform. Also because a long time prior to the de- yelopment of the present controversy there had been great uneasiness among all parties &% to the condition of British trade in re- lation to the trade of the world. Canadian Effort ed Threats. Mr. Chamberlain's speech would not have had the effect it did it it had not fallen on prepared ground, and if Canada’s effort to glve preference to the mother country had not brought threats from at least one forelgn country In retallation. This had ‘brought home to many minds the helpless- ness of Great Britaln under such circum- Btances to meet a situation so dangerous. The last sixty years, continued Mr. Bal- four, had been filled with refutations of the prophecies made by the great tariff re- formers. Ho belleved that the reforms ©of 1848 were necessary at the time, but every year of the last thirty had contra- @loted the prophecies of the reformers. “The premier pald a tribute to Cobden, who, he sald, had an idea, but he aid not foresee the developments of the last half gentury, which had made free trade an empty names and a vain force.

Finally the solicitor general had an amusing con- troversy with Senator Lodge over the transiation of the French word ‘crete’ (crest.) The solicitor general quoted an unnamed authority and Senator Lodge re- torted with examples showing the solicitor general was wrong.

PARIS, Octy 1.—According to reliable in- formation recelved here Japan has decided to send two regiments of infantry to Korea. This i regarded in authoritative quarters as being a most important step as affecting Russo-Japan relations and as 'ikely to accentuate the possibilities of & war crisis. Jupan's decision 1s considered to be di- rectly related to Russia's proposition to evacuate Manchurla October 8 It is now accepted In the highest quarterd that this evacuation 18 fmpossible of accomplishment as China has not signed the terms by which Ruseia conditioned its evacuation. The advices say that Russia inclines to continue the present Russian status In Manchurla rather than commit itselt to finally signing the proposed agreement. In view of these conditions Japan's decision to send troops to Korea Is regarded as being a most significant step. The advices further show that the war spirit in Japan has materially augmented during the last fortnight. HURRY CALL FOR RECRUITS War Minister of Bu rin Asks for Men Regularly Due in January.

While conditions are moke hopeful, there is a strong bellef in many quarters that the Macedonian question Is very threatening and can only be settled by war. The Bulgarian government, therefore, continues preparations for eventualities, In the meantime the Turkish diplomatic akent is conferring with the ministers here and the new Bulgarian diplomatic agent at goes to that eity tomorrow.

The house of repre- sentatives sides with the executive. The tribunal having to pass on the accounts of the past three years of revolution may, if antagonistic, create serlous complications for the executive, among which the resigna- tion of President Marroquin is not con- sidered impossible, Politicians versed in the affairs of the country believe that the president will closure the sessions of congress.

DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO COMPLY | (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Charies P, Mathewson, bonded su- rerintendent of the Omaha and Winnebago reservation, having tendered his resigna- tion last week, today relleved from further duty. Mr. #on fought hard to hoid his preseft posi- ticn, but finding it untenable now desires to drop it ase quickly as a child would a hot chestnut. The Indian bureau is not quite prepared, however, to let Mr. Ma- thewson out immediately just because he ia In “fll health.” There are a number o preliminary matters which must be at tended to before he can officially relinquish his present position. 1t so happens that Just at present the corps of special agents, whose dutles, among other things, is to tuke charge of Indian agencles ad interim, are engaged el'sewhere, and it will be sev- eral weeks, In all probabflity, before an agent can be sent to take charge of the Omaha and Winnebago reservation pending the arrival of the newly appointed bonded superintendents—Wilson for the Winnebago and McKey for the Omaha. In the mean- time, as Mr. Mathewson appeared to be in such distressingly 11i health, Commissioner Jones has decided to grant him a ten days' leuve of absence, the business of - the Omauhas and Winnebagoes to be transacted in the meanwhile through the chief clerk of the agency. No Chairm Arriving legislators are already discuss- ing the makeup of the senate and house committees. So far as Nebraska is con- cerned, the delegation being new to legla- lative life of the capital, with the single exception of Mr. Burkett of Lincoln, it is not expected the Antelope state will recelve any chairmanships, although the incoming speaker will, as is customary, look into the fitness of the representatives from Nebraska for places which they have signified a preference for. Mr. Burkett, in view of the fact that he will again be a member of the great committee on appro- priations, may be given the chairmanship of one of the minor committeos. Unless he is honored with a chairmanship it looks as if, Nebraska might be wholly without representation when the chairmanships are aistributed. Jown will have the same chairmanships as'in the Fifty-seventh congress, and as things are now drifting may secure an additional committee head.

There was no attempt to fill vacant committee places in the sen- ate during the extra session of the senate in the Fifty-oighth congress and as the senate will proceed to reorganize the com- mittees shortly after coming together it looks as If Senator Dolliver might get the committeeship of postoffices and post roads. Benator Penrose, who is the ranking mem- ber of the committee, would be unable to take up the additional work which would devolve upon him should be become the head of the postoffice committee. Next to Senator Penrose comes Senator Elkins, who is the chairman of the committee on inter- state commerce. He is also carrying heavy responsibilities, and it 1s not thought he would care to take a chairmanship which promises to be the storm center during the coming congress.
