MR CHAMBERLAIN'STRIUMPH
HOW HE FACED A GREAT CRISI8 AND
RESISTED DANGEROUS TEMPTA
TIONS-IIIS WORK IN SOUTE
AFRICA BARELY BEGUN.
London, January lt
A few weeka ago I spoke of Mr. Chamberlaln
M tiie moat lntereatlng flgure on the polltlcal
stage, and the only member of the Cablnet
who waa llkely to do anythlng of unlque and
far-reachlng impurtance In the admlnlatratlon
of a great offlce. For the last ten days he has
been almoat the only public man ln plain alght
durlng a momontoufl erlpls in Great Brltain'a
eolootal and forelgn pollcy. The Cablnet haa
beid no meeting untll to-day, although a fleet
has been moblllzed, England has been con
vulsed with exeltement, and the foundatlona of
emptr* ln Bouth Afriea have bpen shak-n. Lord
Sallsbury has been Prlme Mlnister and th*
yueen has relgned, but Mr. Chamberlaln'a out
Btratebad hand has swayed the scales of Brlt?
ish deatlny.
The bulb'tln-boarilB in every public place hav*
borne wltncaa hourty to the gr?-at part whlch
thls many-alded man Is playing m lmpertal
affnlrs. From the nlght when lie nrdered a
Bpectal traln at Hlrmingham and came up to
London with a prectpftat* rush he has been th*
conunandlng genius of a eoaapltx situation.
His Bgovcmeata in and out of the Colonial Of?
flce were Dbronlcled hour by hour, as though
he wer* B royal peraonage. Dr. .Tamefon had
l,ft Bechuanalaad on a mysterlous mlsston.
po*a*bty an errand of merey. presumably a
potittcal adveutur*. Mr. Chamberlaln abruptly
proeJalnted hlm a rebel against the Qaeea, dla
patebed messages to recall hlm, warned Jo
hanoesburg Bgotoet treasonable assoclatlon
wlth hlm, and eommanded the colonial of
flelals to dO everythlng ln thelr power to
thwart and overthrow an irrcsponslble eon
splracy. A State had been wantonly Invaded
In rleflanee of treaty nbllgations. Mr. Cham
bertaln ?eparatad Kngland from this fulbaa
tering rald. sprang to the reseue of the South
Afrl.ii a U-publlc, and upheld the sanctlty of
treaty law.
The aervamta of the Chartered Company, wlth
,,r wlthout the eonnlvanee of Mr. CecU Rho.lea.
the powerful Pr*mi*r Of Cape Colony, attempted
to foroa Mr. Cnamberlain'a hand, but they
fotind ln hlm their mast.-r. Th- C-rman Km
paror lntervened wlth a messag- fraught with
monace to the Brltish Kmplre. Mr. Chamber?
laln answered It with commanding dignlty and
force.
The atory of Dr. Jamcson's rald will be an
oid one wh.-n this latter aeaa the ilgbt It is not
HUIiari tO refef here elther to th* d-tails or
to the r.-sults. It la enough to eay that Mr.
Chamberlaln was confronted on th- Brat day
wlth a altiiatlOB Of extraordlnary dimVuIty and
danger. and that h<- facad lt with inftVxibl*
coarage, marveiious anergy a.ui un-rring juig
ment. Tbera was not a trace of bcatUUoa or
vaolllation ln hla conduct. He mark-d OUt?A
atrong line of actlon and followed it wttf
tenadty of purooa*. Rtwalta at one- vindieated
his Judgmt-nt. Th* Emperor's Ul-Umed -ind
mlaehlevoua intervention was foreatalled by Mr.
Chamberlaln'* aagaetoaa and aqoMoMe pollcy.
Clvll war in South Afriea and fon-ign mtrigOCO
with tbe Tranavaal were avertad by his qufck>
ii. ss of mlnd and hls immediate disoernm-nt of
the moral reaponalbllltJea of the latperlal Oov

TEMPTATION UKSISTED.
What has narhapa ea ap- i ouearrattoo ln
Atnerlca la the temptatlou wbleb Mr. Chamber
lam reatated la a ting as in- dld. He had takaa
.;n..- wlth an unconcealed ambltlon to make a
great reputatl n as a coloalal adnilnistrator.
with charaotcttatM eotrgy he had waaNrad tlio
complaa d.-talls of offldal routlaa and aoiulred

and capablUtlea of the wortd-wW* deaamdeactea
Of the Brltish Crown. Ruling ln B department
wher.' awdlocrlty had long been mataUad, he had
Bucceaded in loeplrtag the coafldenea and coaa
manding th- eympathies of the COtOB*** On tho
threshold of an olhVUl career which promis- 1 to
bc brtlltant and ex -ptionally Influentiat and suc
ceaaful, he baaarded his reputatton by taktag a
Une of actlm which might make hmi th- most
unpopuUr Engllshman ln Booth Afriea. A
weaker man would hav* beritated and aUowad
affalra t> drift untll it would be uopoaalbla to
cootrol th-m. Mr. Cbambarlala boWry took the
nsks of opposing the wtahea and atlenatmg the
Bympatbtaa of the Bagttah coloolata in souta
Afriea.
