Opposition 10 the Two Big Measures
Of the Present Parliamentary Session.
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 5.-Mr Goschen, In interfering
with many trades and occupations In order to
extent and force OF the opposition he would have
to encounter. He has already made concessions
to those who clamor against the wheel-tax. but
apparently without conciliating them, since they
intend TO hold grand procession tomorrow OF
carts and vans OF all descriptions by
way OF a hostile demonstration. The budget
bill was read third time yesterday,
and as the lords have nothing TO do
with nnancial measures, it is practically a law.
But Goschen had promised a number OF conces-
slons, more especially, IL is understood bill ex-
emptlng cheap wines from the duty on wines I'm
ported In bottles. The whole estimated product OF
this tax is only f125, ,00O and the result undoubt-
euly mas been TO cause considerable irritation In
France. GoScheD does not say what plan he pro-
poses TO adopt 10 distinguish cheap wines and pre-
IS impossible OF solution He will probably exempt
all except sparkling wines, the tax being avowedly
Intended TO be placed on what GoSchen called the
rich mans champagne.
THE OTHER GREAT MEASURE
OF this session, the local government BILL will not
get through parliament without considerable al
terations. Already notice has been given OF over
500 amendments. In particular the clluses relat-
Ing to London are likely 10 undergo modification.
The tory members Tor London, after conierring
together decided TO recommend a number or alter

uencies, and that members OF the board be made

TALK WITH Mr.. NILLIKEN-MR- BLAINE Has NOT
CHANGED HIS DETERMINATION, BUT THERE Is A
DEMAND FOR HIS RECONCILIATION.
The publication stating that Blaine had written
to some OF his friends that he would reconsider his
declination and accept the nomination, II rendered
him, In the face OF his known desire to retire to
to private nfe was very widely discussed by men,
Ders on both sides or the House to-day. Mr.
Blaines friends state that it not that he has
indicated that he will re-enter the seld but they
supplement this with the opinion that he will be
nominated at Chicago and will accept The sup.
porters OF other candidates express doubt OF the
correctness OF the statement that Blaine has made
any further declaration on the subject, but say
that there Is an undOubted EFFORT on the part OF
some OF his friends to bring him forward Many
OF them are disposed to resent this In bad faith
but they recognize that there Is drift that way
MI. Milliken, who is as close to Mr.. Blaine prob
ably as any man, said to q STAR reporter to-day
that he felt perfectly confident that the Chicago
convention would nominate Mr.. Blaine. Getting
msna his party and ns could M0aa mot Is Sse se 70

would do. As q fact. he does not want the nomi-

his letter. His personal desire is to retire
This Is not cecause OF bad health; his
health is good. During the past seven years
he has been as strong and vigorous as at any time

younger than sherman. The stories OF feeble
