Joseph Chamberlain May Not

Weak to Displace Balfour.
LONDON. Oct. 19.
from Birmingham state that t..i
Chamberlain's health Is again forming the
Buujeci oi considerable speculation there
m relation to the possibility of his being;
again seen In public life. The members of
the family continue to assert that the Im
provement In his health warrant th. -
pectation that he may return to the
House of Commons. This, of course, la
quite natural on their Dart, but In Birm
ingham no such expectation Is enter-
tamed. The fact that Mr. Chamberlain
Is never seen outside his own grounds
except when driving in the country very
occasionally shows that ha esnnnt hv
regained sufficient physical rigor to
render It likely that he can face the
exertion of reappearing in the House of
Commons next session. As a matter of
fact, his condition has been proctlcally
stationary during the past two months.
As at present arranged, he will leave
Birmingham, when the severe weather
sets in, for Valescure to stay until the
late Spring.
Chamberlain Is Needed.
Jesse Collings, M. P., speaking In
Bordesley the other night, said ho thought
It very likely there would be a general
election next year. The government
would come back with a less majority,
which would be to their advantage. Since
the retirement of Mr. Chamberlain things
had not been going on well. He hoped
and believed, however, Mr. Chamberlain
would come back again to give them the
benefit of his counsel and advice, for they
needed it. To his mind the Unionist
Party was like men going through the
wilderness without a Moses. The young
members were chafing under the Inaction
to which they were condemned. They had
a leadership that created no enthusiasm,
but rather damaged It. They had S.
leadership halting between two opinions,
recognizing In an academic and half
hearted way the great item In Mr. Cham
berlain's platform of tariff reform, but
the efforts they were putting forth to
further that policy, compared with what
those efforts ought to be, were poor and
puny. The younger members were dis
satisfied, and did not hesitate to express
their dissatisfaction. What he felt was
felt probably by the majority of the
House of Commons.
Mantle for Chamberlain's Son.
It Is believed that Mr. Collings' speech '
Is intended to prepare the way for an
attempt to supplant Mr. Balfour in the
leadership by Austen Chamberlain. Mr.
Collings in effect admitted that Joseph
Chamberlain can never take part again
In public meetings, and it Is said that
the one object he now lives for is to hand -over
his mantle to his favorite son. Mr.
Collings and his friends now realize that
they are losing ground every day that
they allow themselves to be fooled by
Mr. Balfour, and a determined effort Is
at last to be made to oust him from the
leadership. The only chance of continu
ing the Chamberlain succession Is by
making the fight while Mr. Chamberlain
is himself there to direct it, for once he
Is out of the way Austen Chamberlain
would sink to his proper level. There is
no doubt that tariff reform has a nrm
hold on all the fighting elements In the
party, and that If Austen Chamberlain
were capable of displaying any force or
Initiative he could secure the deposition
of Mr. Balfour.
FRENCH WANT AN ANNAPOLIS
Recognize Need of Training Naval
Officers 1n Mechanics.
PARIS, Oct 19. (Special.) A schema
of great Importance, having relation to
the future training of French naval of
ficers, has been prepared at the Min
istry of Marine, and is to be discussed
this month by the Superior Council of
the Navy, and In the following month,
to be submitted to the Chambers. A
few weelcs since the Minister of Marine
addressed a memorandum to the naval
prefect at Brest, drawing his attention
to the Increasing- necessity of familiar
izing naval cadets with the use of me
chanical tools, and the construction,
maintenance and working of steam and
other machinery. He said that the ne-
cesaity of competence in this matter
was dAlly growing greater, owing to
the multiplicity of mechanical appli
ances on board ships of war.
The object of this memorandum was
to Institute an Inquiry into the possi
bility of creating at Brest a school
analogous to the United States Naval
College at Annapolis, or the establish
ment which has been brought Into ex
istence for the training of British
naval officers. Accordingly Captain
Perrln was Instructed to report upon
the subject, and to Indicate how the
necessary appliances and machinery
could be Installed, and the staff that
would be required. The proposals have
ince been further discussed, and have
now taken such shape that they can be
submitted for final decision.
French Socialists, Split.
PARIS, Oct. 19. -(Special.) Recent
events In France have produced a di
vorce between the two most advanced
sections of French politics the Feder
ation of Radicals and Radical So
cialists and the Socialists, pure and
simple, combined under the title of
Unified Socialists. A few days ago a
meeting of the Federation was held In
Paris, at which a resolution was
agreed to unanimously, to the effect
that while the Federation, in the fu
ture, as in the past, is willing to work
with the Unified Socialists for the
realization of democratic reforms, they
can no longer support Socialist candl
dldates who are In favor of a general
strike, or of insurrection in. case of
war.
