The House of Commons Refuses to
 Adopt the Budget-A Wild Scene in
 The House of Commons---The Pri-
 n1ier To Resign.
 LONDON, June S.-In the House of Com mons to-day MT. Childers, chancellor of the exchequer, announced that the government had decided not to refund to taxpayers the amount of the increased duty on spirits paid over and above the extra shilling per gallon finally decided upon because consumers had been charged higher rates after the announce neent of theeoriginal increase. The govern ment would, however, hear evidence in SUD- port of an appeal for 8 modification of this decision.
 In the House of Commons to night Sir Michael Hicks-Beach moved an amendment to Sir Hugh Childers' motion for 8 second reading of the budget. He condemned the inconsistency of the government in increas- ing the duties on beer and spirits while de- clining to impose fresh tax on real estate property and urge increased tax upon wines corresponding with that sought to be levied upon beer and spirits. The govern ment's proposals, he declared, are unjust and financially unsound and will result in the buyers getting an adulterated article instead of smaller quantity for his money. Why not tax tea additionallys The government was afraid to do so Sir Charles Dilke defended the budget and said that tea was already taxed too heavily. The question, he said, is not one of altering the budget, but of life and death to the govern ment.
 In the discussion upon the adoption of the budget in the House of Com mons tonight the government was de- feated by vote of 264 to 252. When the figures of the vote were announced there was a remarkable scene. Mr. Glad  seat with a calm and cynical smile upon his face, suddenly started up, became quite pale and clutched with nervous grip the rail of the seat before him. The House was in wild confusion, the members of the opposition yelled, stamped and waved their hands and handkerchiefs. Some of the more excited statesmen even tore off their cravats and flung them in the air, while the shouts from the floor were re-echoed by cheers in the galleries. The Parnellites, whose votes turned the scale against the government, were beside them selves with boisterous exultations Shaking their hands in the direction of the discom- fted Premier they hurled at him such epi- thets as s'Coercion,'' 'sBuckshot Forster. /" 'sMiles Joyce" and other references to the hated policy of England toward their coun- try. In the height of the uproar MT. Gladstone rose to his feet and stood with perfect digni- ty disregarding the scene around him, his eyes fixed upon the Speaker, who was furi- ously ringing his bell and vainly screaming for order. MT. Gladstone stood with pale face and firmly compressed lips for fully 8 moment before quiet was sufficiently re- stored to enable him to move an adjourn ment. As the words left his lips another outburst of yells came from the opposition.
 It is certain that the government defeat to- night will result in the immediate resigna- tion of MT. Gladstone. Sir Charles Dilkes statement in replying to Sir Michael Hicks Beach, that the question at issue was one of life or death to the government, is thought to have been inspired by the Pre- mier.
 LONDON, June 9.-Both the Daily News and Telegraph state this morning that MT. Gladstone will place his resignation in the hands of the Queen to-day
