THE BRITISH BUDGET.

Deficit OF e~1,574,OOO to BE Met by In
creasing the Income Tax.
LONDON. April 25.-Slr William Vernon
Harcourt. Chancellor of the Exchequer.
introduced the budget for the cominR
financial year in the House of Commons
yesterday. The Chancellor estimated the ex-
p%enditures for the current financial year
at f91. AGA. 600 and the revenue at $50. $50, 600.
leaving a deficit of f1. 574.0 600, due IN part to
q slight expected decrease of the revenue.
but chiefly to the vast growth of expeDdi-
lures not created by the government. but
through the demands of the country upon
Parliament. The Chancellor said that the
government would not propose to cover
the deficit by encroaching upon the sinking
fund devoted to the reduction of the
national debt. He preferred to meet
the deficit by the straightf0rward way
of increased taxation. The governments
would like to reform the death duties. By
causing all property. real or personal, to be
taxed equally. but the government was
obliged to postpone this reform for the
session, as such taxes could not at once be
fully realized. They had. therefore, re-
sorted to the income tax, which 1t was pro-
posed to inereass by 9 penny on the pound.
revenue. The Chancellor said this addi-
tion Of 81, $50. 0O0 TO the revenue would
cover the deficit aud leave u slight margin
over expenditures. The only other change
proposed was to remove the stamp duty on
the transfer of foreign and colonial
securities. and to increase the stamp duty
on contract notes to / shilling.

letter sent by the Secretary is as follows:
Sir-I thank you for your somewhat lengthy
communication of the 24th. which have had
the pleasure of reading this morning In the
newspapers. and assure you that the investiga-
ton OF General COlby's career under President
harris0n's administration is a matter In which I
am not interested, but | presume he will have no
objections to your making 10 at such lines and
places as may be most convenient for you.
1 Observe your objections to the notices which
you have received relative TO this investigation,
and regret very sincerely that they are not,
seemingly, OF "a character to please you. Per-
continue from day TO day. and that you are
cordially invited to be present. with your at
torney. 10 see TO 1t that no unjust advantages
are taken by any one connected herewith.
Wishing TO have only the truth secured at the
end OF the Investigation, L feel assured that you
will ecquit me OF any designs which You seem 10
attribute. by Implication, upon your position for
q political follower" There is no political
follower" for whom 1 desire your position, aud
had | informed you that such was the case, l
should have been guilty of an untruth.
Conscious OF the recutude of the motives which
animate me In this matter, your closing para.
graph. reading as follows: LET me say, finally
that If. upon your accession TO power. you had
notified me that you wanted my position for a
political follower. your action would have been
at least frank. The legal point of view I do not
now intend 10 discuss That course you have
not taken. Allowing yourself to be used by
those who have for months been conspiring for
my place. you have assaulted my character.
That 1 intend to defend" neither wounds nor
exasperates. but rather excites my sympathy.
Evidently you Will come some time In the future
10 the same conclusion that 1 declared In q
former letter TO you. that truth cannot harm any
citizen or officer who has been and is faithfully
aischarging his duties. Be assured that hope
when this Investigation is concluded that your
character will remain unimpeacned. and that
your friends and yourself may rejoice in a
great victory OF right over wrong and huth over
error.

They Offer a Compromise to the Operators
Which Is Promptly Refused.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL. Ind. April 25.-The block coal
operators and miners met again IN JOINT
session to-day and held an interesting con-
ference of several hours. in which the min
ing situation was thoroughly discussed.
The delegates representing the miners.
after q thorough survey OF the field and
hearing the convictions of the majority at
every mine IN the district. agreed to aceept
so cents per ton all the year around. thus
conceding partly to the operators. as their
first proposition was so cents from May / to
Nov. /. and IS cents for the remainder of
the year. The operators, however. refused
TO listen to such a proposition. and em-
pharically declare that they Will not vary
one iOta from their frs { offer. which lie %
cents from May l TO Nov. / and 50 cents the
remaining six months. M. A. johnson, of
Chicago. president of the Jackson Coal
and Mining Com pany. was very firm in, his
remarks He declared that the operators
had for the past three years, prior
to last year. lost considerable money
and that they could not afford to concede
the demands. John Smith Tally. of
Terre Haute. president of the Bituminous
Operators Association, concurred in Mr..
JOhneon's statements, and averred that q
crusade was being waRed In Chicago
against the use of soft coal on account of
the smoke IL makes, and that hard coal
was preferable. and Is being used in many
factories that formerly burned soft coal.
Representatives of the miners are firm.
and say their constituents will not accept
the operators offer. and that o strike is
probable.
There will be another delegate meeting
of operators and miners in this city Friday.
If the operators still hold firm the miners
Will call q mass meeting and submit q re-
port of their conference with the operators,
which means q strike. The affair has as
sumed q serious attitude. A prominent op-
orator said to-day that unless the miners
accepted the operators proposition within
three weeks the operators would with
draw the offer. and under no consideration
would pay more than the present price, IS
cents per ton the year around.
