CHAMBERLAIN. SPEC TACULAR POLITICAL FIG < URE, SUCCUMBS UNEXPECTED END His London Home Was Scene of Death With American Wife With Him London, July 3.?Joseph Chamber lain* one of. the most striking figures in British politics in tho past genera tion, died at his London home late last night. His death came'as a sur prise. He had been suffering with paralysis, yet the condition of his hcwHli was not known to beany worse than it had been for the past three years. Mrs. Chamberlain, who never left herv husband's side since be waa stricken wjtb paralysis seven years a^o, and1 his son, Austen Chamberlain, were with trim whan death came. The event cast a gloom over the London season, which was at its height. ' Mr. Chamberlain's last public ap pearance was et a garden party on the 'grounds of s his Birmingham home on -May 6. last, when, with his wife and son, he received several hundred constituents. He was wheeled* out on the lawn in s chair and appeared very feeble when he lifted his hat to friends apd neighbors in acknowledgement of their salutes. The cause of Mr. Chamberlain's death was officially announced today as heart failure. Although he had been gradually sinking since Tuesday, member? nf the family had Droferred that his condition should not become publicly known. Chamberlain's. Record .'The Right Honorable Joseph Cham berlain was the pioneer in Great Britain of [ Tariff Reform, and tho great advocate of Imperialism. For thirty-eight y??rs, with a brief Inter regnum, he represented Birmingham in parliament. In 1906 bis career of s tonn y activities was ended' by a Micke of paralysis. . The blow fell when he was in the midst of a stren uous 'campaign : for the establishment of a protective tariff .with preference foritnetBritish colonies, and just af ter his constituents' had celebrated the thirtieth i anniversary of his first elec tion. ' Since that day tho. strong fighter uiways. with his loy-il -wife, daughter .>a? been an invalid, a-, pathetic .on looker at the. political game, pictured of W. C. Endlcotte, of MassachusBetts? who was President Cleveland's sec retary of war, be>dde him. His chief consolations were the growing politi cal prominence of'his son, Austen Chamberlain, and the loyalty of his constituents. Birmingham would not deposed her leader, although he was no longer able to represent her up on' the floor, of the House of Com mons. In' each election he was re turned1 to his old seat, and appeared 'afterward in the house b?t once, his way to the speaker's deak on tho where amid respect ul silence, he made .arm . of his sop and took the oath , of office. Januhry 5, 19)3, Mr, Chamber lain wrote to his constituents, resign ing his seat, and spying: . ,. "I cannot hope a'mln to do my work in Purl lament, and I feel that our city and the constituency need the ser vices of a younger man." ... For HJftb Tariff. .-Whllo his area vest claim* ^Wf fame vyuB his determined and brilliant ad vocacy for years of a protective pbl tcy" for Great Britain, the citadel of 'F*re^e Trade, he y ill also be remem bered: as the, bitterest and most force ful^ opponent or Gladstone in that statesman's cf.orts for Home Rule for Ireland; as one of the founders ^f the Llberal-Un'onlBt party; and aa the Minister whose policy in.

It Was In 1868. just. 32, yeare-etter the birth in Lon don, that he' received his baptism of life, as", town ..councillor -.of. BHrmfhth-Wft: later-stfrvthg as fc,r successive terms.- .

Gos chen and others high in the Liberal party who saw in their former lead er's home rule' proposals and pro paganda a menace to the integrity of the empire, 'formed a new party, to resist them. They called themselves Liberal Unionists and anti-homo rule was. in the beginning, their main tenet. Lord Hartington was tho first leader, but when he was elevated to the peerage through the death of his father, Mr. Chamberlain was chosen the party's chief. Meanwhile Mr.' Chumberlain hud visited the Untted, States, November 1887 .to Febrtlafy 1888, as the head of the British Representatives upon the American-British joint high commis sion which was to negotiate a treaty for the settlement of the long standing fisheries dispute. A treaty was signed but the United States Senate refused to ratify it. Late in 1888 Mr. Chamberlain re turned to the United States, this time to be married. Having been twice a widower he took as his third wife vMIbb Mary Endicotte,' daughter of Wil liam C. Endicotte, President Cleve land's secretary of war. During the campaign of 1892 Mr. Chamberlain worked with great ef fect* and subsequently In the Com mons he was to the forefront in all the assaults on. the Irish Government Bill, and clashed frequently with Mr Gladstone. The Home Rulers con sidered him a renegade and this rank ling, ho aggravated by his rasping tac tics. D?ring debate on the bill, one night lh July, 1893, Mr. Gladstone tartly coihpared him with "the devil's advocate.," Th? next night, In debate Mr. Chambt rlaln retorted so caustical ly that 'i*. P. O'Connor yelled at him "Judas! Judas!" followed presently l'y u free fight on the floor between severpi members?a rare outbreak in probably the most staid legislative body in the . world?accompanied by vigorbu^ hissing by the galleries. Th?

ANDERSO PETITIONS DIL NOT CARR\ A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ONLY 50 PER CENT Supervisor Announces He Car Not Order Election on Ques tion in County (From Saturday's Daily.) Goocral satisfaction will be felt in Anderson county over the announce ment that there is to be no county dlspemary established here.. An nouncement to that effect was made yesterday by J. Meek King, county supervisor. It will be remembered that the whiskey people presented petitions ta the supervisor in accordance with the law, add then Mr. Klag was facing the problem.of how to arrive at any definite idea of whether or not the petitions carried the names of one fourth ' 01 the registered voters of Anderson county. Following his. decision in the mat ter yesterday, Mr. King made a. state ment to The Intelligencer In which he said : ' "I am a democrat and I be lieve in the policy of always allow ing the people to express their wisbea In a matter, when there ie any neces sity for any such action, but In this Instance there can be no possibility of the petitions carrying sufficient signatures- to warrant my ordering the election and I therefore state that there, will be no election held on the dispensary question in Anderson couttiy.'at tuts time*.** When, the petitions were present*^ Mr. King Anally mapped out a plan for canvassing them by which, he would choose three men ?one mem ber favorlog the establishment of the dispensary, one. anti-die-penrary man and the third member to be J. 8. Ack er, to represent the supervisor. Mr. King chose for members of this coin mottee A. S. Fant and T, W. Norrie, while Mr. Acker consented to act as the third member. They have been [ absolutely conscientious in discharg ing their duties and no.word of crit icism can be offered- concerning 'the way In which the work has been done. Official figures given out yesterday by Mr. King go to show, that the peti tions bore 1,826 signatures.' Of this number 698 were compared, with the county registration, books and It was found: that SS8 were registered- voterb I while 360 were, not i registered, giving a percentage for the petition of about 149 per cent registered voters. Mr, King skid' that he was unwilling to consider anything less, than 0,000- for the minimum number of registered votere In Anderson county and any sane man would admit that there can hot be less than thai number of reg istered voters In the county. Estl ^mating upon, that basis. the. comn\!t tee determined that not more than 900 of the signatures appearing on the petitions are registered voters .and 900 is one-fourth of 3,600, Any voter in the county knows that there are more than 3,600 voters in this county and Mr. King rays that' the basis of 6,000 is too .small if anything. When the committee began Its la bors it first took up all names begin ning with the letter "A"' and every one of these was checked with the registration. books. Next the letter "IV was taknn up and all these were carefully checked. The other letters were examined in part, that is to say a certain' number wore selected and '/>nmwu ??wt ' ?I... r?11nolt.? k?li>?
