Liberals Carry the Budget RendinG by
Majority of Only Ii.

LONDON, May 10.-By the slender
majority of II the Liberals forced
through the House of Commons tonight
the motion for the second reading Of
the budget. 1t was the closest call on
an important vote the Rosebery Minis
try has had, and the announcement Of
the fgures-3oS to 294-was awaited
with keen anxiety. The supporters OF
the government burst into roaring
cheers, and the Unionists replied with
equal vigor. .-
Signs Of intense interest in the dlvi-
sion were evident at the opening Of the
debate. The members seats were all
occupied; the lobbies were packed, the
galleries filled rapidly, and great
crowd was gathering outside.
The heavy oratorical artillery was
brought out by Arthur j. Balfour, leader
of the Unionists. He assailed the
budget as class affair. In it the gov
eminent assailed certain interests to
propitiate others. They dealt unjustly
with the brewers and publicans on the
fallacious assumption that excessive
profits justified excessive taxation. The
graduated income tax might be good in
principle, but the method OF application
proposed by the government directly
menaced trade and individual interests.
Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of
the exchequer, defended his budget.
The motion to reject the bill, he said,
represented the land and liquor inter-
ests. He challenged the vote Of the
House on the principle of graduated
income tax, and said he was prepared,
when the time should come, to ask the
country's verdict. Loud cheeringl
When Sir William Harcourt ended
the House was packed, and suspense
was written plainly on many faces in
the ministerial ranks The division was
made slowly, as the members went into
the Hobbies with painful deliberation.
When they came back there was no
demonstration.
When the Speaker read the fateful
figures the Liberals broke into cheers.
The Conservatives replied with counter
cheers, and it was nearly two minutes
before order could be restored.

A NER COMET.
Result of Recent photographs Made by
the Lick Observatory.

SAN Francisco, CAL, May 11.-The
director of the Lick Observatory has
telegraphed the following:
At the eclipse of 1893 Prof. Shaeberle
of the Lick Observatory made many
photographs of the suns corona, at bis
station in Chill. In all the negatives
of the same eclipse made a few months
later by the British expeditions in
Brazil and Africa Prof. Shaeberle has
found the comet to appear also. 1t
thus seems that the Lick Observatory
negatives of the solar eclipse of April
1903, have incidentally added a new
comet to the system. ,5

At SEA.



| watch the white sails as they spread
Their wings, like birds set free;
And some DER distant waves will glide,
Some in the wished-for haven bide,
And some-be lost at sea.
And thus, upon LIES changeful main,
While Hope sang merrilyi
Full many barque from off the strand
We launched with eager heart and hand,
Nor dreamt of loss at sea.
But were there treacherous rocks and shoals
ALL all unknown to thee?
1t matters not-the heart doth know
That cruel storm hath sunken low
The venture out at sea.
Mayhap it was not costly freight,
Tho rich to you OF me;
And Memory, as the days so by,
Still couateth DER with fearful eye
Her treasures lost at sea.
All, we'll, there is n haven sweet
Where shipwreck cannot be;
Sad hearts. who sit in patient pain,
There shall We gather back again
Much that was lost at sea.

remarked Clerk Bair. "They have at
present 200 convicts within its walls,

prison is poor concern, but it is q

1T SEEMS from the way the leaders OF
the republican party are talking and
writing that that party is evidently not
satisfied with the peoples opposition
to a high tariff, as expressed by their
votes in 1892 and 1894, and must have
the case submitted TO them again in
1896. AS they will have it so, there is
nothing else for the democrats to 90
but to give them another dose of the
same medicine, and it is hoped the next
one will be decisive. And it is just as
we'll; for though the new tariff bill is
the best one that could have been pass
ed by the present Congress, and has
considerably reduced the price OF the
necessaries of life, it is by no means as
good as was expected. The people,
therefore, in November, should make
it their business to elect representa-
tives who will improve the bill, and
make it provide for revenue only
With such a bill, people can live more
comfortably, and just as cheaply, here
us abroad.

CAUGHT IN A HURRICANE. The
British ship Port Crawford encounter
ed a terrific hurricane on September 8,
in latitude II north, longitude III west.
The ship was eastward bound, with all
sails set, in fair weather, when q squall
of tremendous violence struck the yes
SIT from The westward, carrying away
nearly all the sails, throwing two men
on the deck and badly bruising them,
and flooding the cabin and forecastle,
SCATTERING the lifeboat and blowing
away all the covers. Everything
movable on deck was lost or smashed.
Captain Edwards says the cas- rolled
over his vessel as if she were a rock in
midocean. After the squall had sub
sided, the sea, which rose almost as
quickly as the wind, became terrific.
The wind shifted to the south and blew
a gale for forty-eight hours, carrying
the ship along under almost bare poles
for four hundred miles. All the sails
left on the ship were the lower main
and mizzen topsails, a piece of the fore
topsail and half OF the foresail. Captain
Edwards decided to run before the gale
instead of lying to, and the speed ofthe
ship was not appreciably lessened by
the fact that she was scudding under
almost bare poles.
