London, June 9.-In the house of
commons last night the Hon. Hugh
Childers, chancellor OF oXchcquer, an
nounced that the government had de-
cided not to refund to taxpayers the
amount of increased duties on spirits
paid over and above the extra shilling
per gallon, formerly decided on, be-
cause consumers had been charged
higher rates after the announcement
OF the original increase; the govern
ment would however cause inquiry 10
be made to ascertain ii there existed
sufficient reason to modify this de-
cision.
After long debate on the new
spirit tax, Sir Stafford NorthcOte and
several others having spoken in OPP
position, Mr.. Gladstone rose to reply.
lie said that he thought the opposition
were creating precedent which they
would regret when they came into
power again; that the previous reduc-
ton of wine duties had beneficial
effect in preventing adultera-
tion and increasing the
trade many millions annually
and it would be most impolitic TO i'll
crease wine duty until the most eX-
IRENE pressure; that tie government
were compelled to raise money in
view of the impending danger to the
empire, danger which even now he
was unable to say had passed away;
that the opposition cayiled at the
mode of raising the money without
suggesting an alternative, but tea
would require an additional tax of
three pence per pound TO produce the
same amount, thus raising the duty
10 per cent. on an innocent beverage;
that the government had to choose
between alcoholic liquors and tea
and sugar; that they would accept the
issue on the vote rs one of life or
death and did not envy those who, ii
they gained a victory, would have to
bear the consequences. Mr. Glad
stones remarks were received with
prolonged cheers. The government
was defeated on the second
reading of the budget, it being
rejected by 2Gi to 1852. When the re-
suit was announced, Lord Randolph
Churchill and Mr.. Parncll jumped up
ON their seats and enthusiastically
waved their hats and the cheering was
renewed. Thirty-nine Parnelites and
all the conservatives voted against the
government. The minority included
Sir Michael Bass, and several Irish
liberals. Although strong whips had
been issued, many government sup
porters were absent.
The following is another account OF
tine scenes in the house of commons
after the division When the result
of the division was announced Mr.
Gladstone, who had been leaning for
ward in his seat and cynically smiling
started, turned pale and clutched his
hands ucrvously together. The hous,
