GLADSTONE'S SPEECH,
Introducing the Budget, NOT as EneOur
aging as IL Might Have Been.
Lams On's Case In the House of Lords
Arrival of I.eOpold's Bride.

LONDON, April 25.-In the Commons, last
night, Gladstone introduced the budget 10
his speech explaining il he referred TO the
growing expenditures and sluggish revenue,
and the siowness of the recovery of trade,
especially as far its action upon the rev.
enue was concerned. He said he could not
IT 0mmend the abolition Of the duty on sill
yer plst', because the drawback would be
too great for the revenue to bear, but admit
ted that il was desirable to abolish the duty
as soon az possible. The change in the pro-
late and legacy duties, said Gladstone had
worked exceedingly well, but the proceeds
had been less than it was expected they
would be. The receipts from the beer duty
had fallen short OF the estimate by f2, 220,-
000. Gladstone explained that 81 400, 900
Of the increase in expenditures was due to
the special charges on account OF the Indian
and Transvaal wars. The actual surplus Of
revenue over expenditures the past year was
e352 900. The revenue from tea had in
creased in late years, but it was proposed to
prevent the adulteration of coffee with any
substances other than chickory. Gladstone
attributed the diminution of revenue from
alcohol to Increased savings by the people.
Gladstone, in the course of his speech said
the Americans had shown extraordinary
viger and for:itude in reducing their debt
and bearing heavy taxation for that pur-
pose. He thought our modern history was
hardly 80 creditsble. Tie revenue for the
coming year was estimated at 9S4 ,935 900,
thus showing an estimated surplus of
e305, 900.
LAMsoN's CASE IN THE LORDS.
In the House OF Lords Granville, secretary
OF state for foreign affairs, replying to the
earl OF Milltown, quoted presidents where
the British government had made representa-
tions similar 10 those made by the United
States in the Lamson case. The United
S:ates, he said, did not interfere with En-
glish administration of justice, but merely in
Ii nated that there might be cause for elem
ency. Generally a fortnight was allowed for
consideration in those cases, but as the evil
dence 10 this one came from the United
States, the time was somewhat extended.
Had the United States interfered with the
British municipal law, no language would
have been too strong to resent the indignily;
but no minister would undertake the re-
sponsibility OF declining 10 listen to q state
ment that important information was forth
death.
The marquis of Salisbury spoke in SINH
lar strain, but deprecated the expression Of
opinion until the papers were seen.
