IMPERIAL POLITICS.
MB. lUTOHIK'd EXPLANATION. PKE PRESS ABSOCIATIOS. Londox, October 1. Mr Ritchie, in resigning, wrote that ie was in entire fyrupuby with tbe desire to unite the Motherland and the Monies more closely. He knew no method of granting preference to the ojloni.-s except Mr Cbamberhin's proposed taxation of food, involving an iucrease of taxation, and to that policy he was opposed. Regarding access to foraign markets and tne proposal for retaliation, he said it would lead to protection and greater evils than it waa intended to prevent, , |The Standard is puzz'ed over the episode which it declares unparalleled in our political history. It adds that the whole story has not been told and a solution is awaited with the liveliest expectation, inasmuch aa when the Cabinet separated on September 14th Mr Ritohie and Lord George Hamilton still believed it continued to include Mr Chamberlain. Lord Milner has received the King's command to visit Balmoral, It is expectel tha Cabinet will be announced on Monday. The King returns to London to be present at the transference of seals of office.
