Famed figure dies after long paralysis and political rise
London marks the death of Joseph Chamberlain aged nearly 87. A bitter foe of Gladstone, founder of Liberal-Unionist ties, champion of protective policy, imperial reform, and the Australian Commonwealth constitution. His South Africa policy sparked war, then efforts to unite mother country and colonies. He resigned in 1903 to push reform but remained influential in Birmingham elections.
