BRITAIN'S BUDGET.
Chancellor GOschen's Bill Meets
With General Approval.

With General Approval.
LONDON. April 17.-The presentation
of the budget in the house of commons
to-day by Mr.. Goschen, chancellor of
the exchequer, was the occasion of an
attendance of members and visitors that
severely taxed the capacity of the
available portions of Westminster pal
ace. Although Mr.. Goshen IS not per-
sonally popular he is easily the ablest
speaker on finance in either house, and
always command attention. Among
those who endured the discOm-
forts of the crowded state of
the visitors gallery to the end Of Mr..
Goshen's speech were large number
of foreign representatives and attaches,
who paid close attention to the speak
er's statements. MIR. GOschen spoke
three hours. He stated that he regarded
the budget as the best that had ever
been issued by any government. and its
reception certainly justified the esti-
mate he placed upon it. 1t is generally
regarded favorably and will probably be
popular, though the failure of the min
istry to reduce the income tax causes
much. disappointment. The reduction
of the tax on tea appears at first
sight to be great concession, but
it is really of small consequence. This
clause will doubtless be made the basis
of spirited debate. The foreign spirit
tax is great surprise, and the postage
reduction is a concession to j. Penniker
PeatOn, the conservative member for
Canterbury, who has so persiStently
hammered at this point as to drive
Postmaster General Raikes to the verge
of distraction. The volunteer grant is
merely sop to the martial element in
the provincial districts in order to re-
gain the popularity which the govern
ment has lost through its application of
certain local measures entaillng more
ANNOYANCE than benefit.

Light Shed on the Mysterious
Mettiman Murder

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, April THE
mystery surrounding the murder of
Mrs. Mettiman, whose mutilated body
was found in the river here nearly a
month ago, seems to be in fair way of
being cleared up. Charles A. Benson,
a patternmaker, is known to have Wis
tied the house of the murdered woman
on the night of the murder, when he
disappeared. Yesterday Mrs. Benson
received letter from her husband in
which he confesses to have sustained
criminally intimate relations with Mrs.
Routzhan, Mrs. Mettiman's daughter,
aad states that Mrs. Routzhan knows
all the circumstances of the murder.
Mrs. RoutZhan acknowledges a relation
with Benson, but says she knows moth
ing of the murder. Benson's letter was
written from Kansas City, where detect
ives are now looking for the writer.
