No Trouble on the D. and 0. Road.

CHICAGO, April lG.-Referring to the story
that the employees Of the Bal more and Ohio
Railroad company were contemplating a
strike against the company's insurance
scheme, Superintendent Britton says there is
no truth in il The insurance feature was
adopted by the road in 1882, and there has
never been any order issued to compel the
employees TO become members The matter
is left entirely optional with them. The rate
Of insurance charged Is less than could be
procured from any other insurance company
for the same benefit Mr.. Britton said he had
heard Of no dissatisfaction until the meeting
at South Chicago Saturday night, and ex
pressed the opinion that the insurance com.
panies, whose business is injured thereby, are
stirring up some of the men and trying to
make them think they are being imposed
upon and robbed by the company, when in
reality they are being greatly benefited.

POINTS OF THE BUDGET.
The Condition of England's
Finances Made Public.
A SATISFACTORY PRESENTATION.

The Berlin Press ON Mr.. Halstead's Re-
jection-wiuiam Walter Phelps the
Next Observation-Disclosures In tho
French Army-Mr. Bright Elected.
LONDON, April 16.-Thc presentation Of the
budget by Mr. George J, Goschen, chancel-
lor of .the exchequer, was the distinguishing
feature Of the proceedings of the House of
Commons last night Contrary TO expecta-
1on, the budget does not in the least affect
any article of trade with America and is
singularly free from startling innovations.
The only new points worthy Of especial men
ton are the increase Of death duties, or taxa
ton Of legacies, and considerable increase
Of the present taxation of malt Both Of
these are Liberal measures aud the first
mentioned may be said to be almost social
istic since the contention Of the Socialists is
that the right Of the post-mortem division Of
property does not exist and that therefore all
property not devised before death should re-
vert to the state The taxation Of legacies
already plays an important part in the Brit
ish revenue, and the proposed increase will
without doubt receive the fun support Of the
Radical members as a step in the right direc-
ton
Mr. Goschen said the revenue would ex-
ceed the estimates of the last budget by
81, ,645, 900, while the expenditures were
e94l, 900 below the estimate, leaving a sur
plus of e2, $4,000, the largest since 1873
The revenue from malt and spirituous liquors
and tobacco had decreased, that from tea
showed small increase, and the income
tax had realized el,2lO,0O0 over the estimate
The postal service revenue was $500 600 and
that from stamps e490,O0 The revenue for
the current year would probably be es5,-
100000 and the expenditures about RST, ,0O0-
600. The deficit would be met by taking
$1,000, 600 of the sum saved last year and
putting an additional tax upon death duties
on estates of the value of 10000 and up
wards and adding one-fourteenth of penny
to the taxation on each gallon of beer manu-
factured.
