New York, Aug. 26, Mr. Ianc N. Pnrd cables from London to Tho Trl- -buno : Gly_one speech In Parliament this week will be remembered after the -vision ends. It wan made by Mr. Chamherlain, when th ilrnncla] vot' "T51' the 'CoToTTml orih was re.iehed after mld+night, ThuiMlay. It was *i Hiort speech, dellveied quietly and m Uhout nourish of trumpets, but It contained evidence that the k*ador who formulated 20 years ago In Birming ham great municipal policies grounde I upon new Ideas of the functions r; lfieal government 1m preparing to revo lutionize colonial relatfon:' Mr. Chamberlain hn in mind huge plans of colonial poncy. based on new principles. What waea :nost slgniilcant in this speech was '.he declaration that many of the British colonies were In the condition of undeveloped es- t.iteii, which could not bo developed without Imperial assistance. There were acme colonies, he added, for which British rule had done absolute ly nothing; and England could jiot *Mdc with them so long an they were undeveloped. He would be prepared to consider carefully any case in which by a Judicious investment of Imperial money, these colonies could be devel- r'M'd. These vague generalities would have meant loss if any other leader h id uttered them. Mr. Chamberlain te Known In Birmingham by his works. I'olMea which he Introduced In munf- eipnl government there have been b'ghly successful. * Municipal owner- 'Vp of water, gas and tramwnyn and the transformation of tho slums Into ^1 lend Id business thoroughfares by Investments of corporation funds, which will ultimately enrich the town, an* now accepted throughout England ns enlightened measures of progres- M\e* local government "When a Ieadei w 1th a record of having changed the whole order of municipal government in Rngland advocates judicous Investment of Imperial money for promoting the de velopment of the neglected efitates of the Empire, the echoes of bin npee<v. will be heard around tho world wl or ever the British Hag flutters in th" breeze. Mr. Chamberlain spoke con (Id n'lv almost lmpotuously, of many lOlonia) problmn, and discussed them with breadth of view. If railways weie nooded in tropical Africa, they should be built under colonial or Imperial Administrations, rather than be hand ed over to private speculators. If there was tn be trade with the colonies exposed to native disturbances, then punitive expeditions were necessary, and thostf who protest against them were against the only system that would lead to the civilization of Afri ca Bechuanaland had been annexed because the Cape Parliament had de clared for it, and tho Home Govern ment were bound to respect the wishes of the colonics. But federation was as necejcmry in Africa an in Australia. Mr. Chamberlain's speech showed that he had been thinking deeply on matters of colonial policy and had some crratlvo policies to propose and carry out. Hla views were reiterated yesterday strongly In his reply to tho West African railways delegation.

It remaiks tli tt u .Heenui linidly worth while to briiitf to the ground the laboriously con - ujiiHtructed edifice of international honesty for the sake of putting money Into the pockets of acven or eight Canadian flrma. A point which neither The Tlmeg nor tho English authors seem to con- aider hi the Impracticability of tho Colonial oillce putting a veto upon tho Canadian raiding operations ngainHt International copyright. ICngl md ac cepted the Borne convention without diinmlttlng Canada to the copyright pilnclple. Canad.L adopted the Berne pioposals with the explicit understand ing that It could withdraw after giv ing a year's notice, if Mr. Chamber lain throws out the Canadian act, tho Dominion may nerve notice of Itl withdrawal from the Berne conven tion. Canadian printero would then be at liberty to pirate American books, and Impair, If not destroy, the vnlua of the contracts of English author* with American publishers It Is a very awkward business to manage, an the Ro'iebery Government acknowled ged when thpy anked the Dominion Government to sftnd out n special agent -to talk over tho question. Mr. Cham berlain Is known to be studying the controversy In detail, but in not like ly to ad prematurely. Mr. Mamton, of a well-known pub lishing (lrm, writes to The Times to day, giving a new version of the Cana dian Copyright controversy. He ridi cules the Idea that Americans havtt anything to fear from Canadian re prints of English books. If only for the reason that their Importation could be stopped by our customs, and declares that the present American outcry against the proposed Dominion law Is laised purely to screen, our own Improper claims upon Canada. IIo ad vises the Canadians to abandon their present position and pass In- Htead a strong law, to exclude Am erican *cprints of copyright books from Canada. This seems rather mud dle-headed, for the Canadian book market Is no small as not to be In dis pute, but Mr. Maraton nets It forth u'I*h great vigor. Incidentally lie saysi that he underntands the projected Do minion law Is not hi tho least likely to be passed here, and that accords u-Ith what othTM say of Mr. Cham- hTMn't attlti In in the matter Mr. V IT Scott, President of the Ontnrv Publishing Co. of New York, v bo is now In London, In an Interview regarding the Canadian copyright law, cays the scheme will not be of any bene fit to authors or literature of Canada, where the market Is small, while <t will be a serious menace to the rights * authors in the United Rtatei The spectator, referring to the matter.savn Canada wants something which will bring the whole system of Intcrantion- 11 copyright to ruin. Notice has been given by Mr.Vincent that he will, at an early day, move, iu the Houho of Commons, a resolution that Great Britain give a year's notice to the Governments of Belgium and Geimany of the elimination of tho clauses In tho commercial treaties with those countries of 18G.J and lSfJ5 respec tively, precluding the treatment of British goods In British colo nies upon more advantageous terms than are accorded foreign qoods. The Statist advises Mr. Cham berlain, Secretary of State for the Co lonies, to give notice of the termina tion of these treaties, and expresses the belief that should this be done Germany would not take any retalia tory stops. It is announced that Lord Lans - downo. Secretary of State for War, will make a statement In the House of Lords, Monday, In regard to the Commandershlp-in-Chlef of the British army. The report that Field Marshal Lord Walseley will succeed the Duke of Cambridge as Commander-in-Chief Is regarded nu true. The question of the development of mines In Brltltih Columbia is at pre sent attracting much attention In fi nancial circles In the city, and It Is probable that neveral mining experts will visit the province In the autumn. If tho reports made by them of tho re sults of their Investigations shall be favorable, a large Influx of British capital may bo expected.
