The British Budget.

London, May 2.-In The Commons today
Sir, William HarCourt, Chancellor of the
ExcheQuer, was loudly cheered as he arose
TO announce the budget. lie cheering was
repeated and prolonged as lie concluded the
announcement. The revenue for the past
year, he said. was estimated at s4,ls900C
pounds. The actual revenue was .9,6840OO
POUNDS. The expenditures were estimated
AT 95,s84,000 pounds and had been 93,9lS Zoo
pounds. The surplus Lad been 1176 ,00a pounds
again st an estimated surplus Of 29l ,QOU
pounds.
Sir William announced thatsthe estimated
expenditures for the coming year were 95,-
9Sl ,000 pounds, and The estimated revenue
95,662, 900 pounds. The increase in expendi-
lures over last year is due to additions to
the navy. A deficit of $4,000 pounds as
shown by the budget must be met by the
imposition Of duty upon spirits and beer.
Strong objections raised by the Irish
and Scotch manufacturers of spirits had led
him to propose the continuation of the duty
of six pence IA barrel upon beer, which
would yield revenue of 100000 pounds and
cover the estimated deficit.
Sir William Harcourt, continuing SAID,
the imports and exports the past year had
shown that. though low prices ruled, the
most benefit was derived by workingmen.
Agricultural distress has bnen keen, and
labor troubles numerous. yet the general
condition is better than during the previous
year. The gratifying sign of prosperity he
said. was the deposits in savings banks.
which in 1890 amounted to little over
thirty million pounds, in 1891 thirty million
pounds, in 1892 nearly thrty-three million
pounds. 1898 thirty-dve million pounds. and
in 1894. forty-five million live hundred
thousand pounds. During the past decade
the total increase in savings banks had
been sixty six million pounds. and nothing
he saiu bet er proved the sound financial
condition of the country. The budget
passed the first reading without division.

silk manufacturer who was juror No.

Your Honor, while have been act

VILLAINS CAUGHT.
Three Men Hold Up Train in Illinois
and Kill the Engineer-Supposed To Be
Tramps.

Springfield, ILL.,, May a.-The st. Louis and
Chicago express on the Chicago and Alton
road. was held up by robbers half n mile
north of Carlinville, Macoupin county, last
night. Three men boarded the locomotive
and ordered the engineer, Frank Holmes.
to hold up his hands. He refused, and was
shot and instantly killed. Fireman FranE
Tuggle escaped. The men wLo did the work
were evidently amateurs. and went at 1t
in bungling manner. They wore no
masks. but one of them had gunny sack
wrapped about his body. This WAS the man
who shot at the engineer. and when the
three men leaped from the engine he was
caught by one of the mail agents and held.
TIainmen and passengers pursued the other
two men, and overlook and brought them
back. The train was then backed down TO
the depot by the ereman and the prisoners
handed over to the authorities. The body
of Engineer Holmes was taken in charge by
the coroner.
1t is not known whether robbery WAS the
motive for the crime or not. The belief is
current that the engineer was murdered by
revengeful .trAmps. Yesterday morning,
when going south. at Carlinville, he COM
PEELED some vagrants to leave the train. A
few minutes later be discovered some
tramps burning cars on the "Y, !" and sue.
ceeded in driving them away. He was
resolute man, and despite the threats OF The
hoboes that they would get even with him,
he dispersed them. These facts. coupled
with that of the murder taking place IN the
same vicinity. ngthened the theory that
he was murdered by some Of the tramps. ~

INTEREST IN INDUSTRIAL CIRCLES
Over Who VIII Be Appointed State Inspec
tor of Factories and Workshops.
tspeciai to the PRESS;

Augusta, May 2.-There is considerable
speculation among the different labor unions
in the state, as to the probability of Cover
nor Cleaves reappointing Richard K. Chalk
as state inspector of factories and work
shops.
Mir. Chalk was appointed by Governor
Burleigh, and his term of office expired
several months ago. At that time there
were several other candidates for the place,
and considerable pressure was brought TO
bear upon the Govenorr to induce him to
make the charge. one candidate, Denny X.
Jewell of Hallowell. demonstrating con-
siderable strength. 1t WAS thought at one
time that Mr.. Jewell would he the success
full man. and that Governor Cleaves was
simply waiting for Mr.. Jewell's term as
postmaster of Hallowell 10 expire before
making the appointment.
But Mr.. Jewell has been out of Office
several months and has had his ear 10 the
ground listening for the call to duty. but
he.has listened in vain. When asked why
he does not either rec ecommission MIR. Chalk
or appoint his successor, Governor Cleayes
always maintains sphinx-like silence. or
remarks that we have had u very cold
spring.
Then there are many who thin k the office
is sineelre at the best, and that it should
be abolished. While the report of the in
spector of factories and workshops is always
made part of the report of the labor com-
missioner, the two Offices are distinct and
in no way related to each other. The gen.
eral impression prevails that the Governor
will make no move in the matter but will
allow the inspector to hold over.

AROUSES FEELING.
Ex-Confederates Are Stirred Up Over the
Protest Against the Monument to the
Confederate Dead.

Chicago, May 2.-The circular letter of
Department Commander Thayer of the
GAR. of Boston, protesting against
the dedication of a monument in Chica-
60, May 30, in honor of the Confederate
dead, printed in an afternoon paper
today. caused much unfavorable COM
ment among the ex-Confederates Of this
city. When he.attention of R.. Il. Stew
art of the Confederate veterans was
called to the epistle, he said: @What a
fool that man is. What pity such men
live to dig up. the hatchet I'VE have been
trying for SO long to bury for good
and all. Why does he break out now?
Where was this disturber last winter
when the Blue sat at the sama.table
here in the Auditorium with the Gray
and dined as their guests? This monu-
ment was being arranged for,at that
time. 1t is being built by ex-Confederate
soldiers in memory of the brave
dead who, il alive today would
be true American citizens. Three quar-
ter Of the money was subscribedlin Chi
caRo and the rest came from the South.
1t stands il. Oakwood cemetery, whore

crate soldiers. They were buried on gov
ernment property and perhaps this is
the reason Mr.. Thayer would have their
bones disturbed by removal. The gov
ernment consented to loan us as Ameri-
can citizens, four guns to decorate this
monument. We bought carriages for
the guns. In Chicago there is perfect
harmony between the GA. R.men and
the mem bers of the ex-Confederate As
sociation. l hope with the exception of
few men like Tnayer,sthe same feeling
exists in Massachusetts and other states.
There are no more loyal citizens in Anle
RIGA than ex-COnfederates. Il, During .Ie
last strike in Chicago their associations
offered to take arms and assist IN en-
forcing peace and were ready to do SO. If
there is ever call for soldiers hy the
United States government there will be
no one to respond more promptly with
their muskets than the onfederates.

several times to make enquiries of Risley
concerning accounts. When questioned
he showed statements purporting to

passing upon the questions at issue as
correct. Many of the papers shown are

STRIKE SPREADING.
Olneyyille Mill Operatives Will Not
Wait 70 Be Locked Out.

Prospect that All the Mill People Will
Quit Work-Genera1 Strike Has Not
Yet Been Sanctioned by the Textile
Union.
Providence, May 2.-The strike of the
wooden workers in tile OlneyviIle facto-
ries continued to extend today, and each
hour its proportions are growing larger.
The discomfort among the strikers is
widespread and deepseated.
The Saxon mill operatives went out
on strike today. Those who gathered
in the meeting last night marched over
to the mill gates and notified all who
were not present last night that it had
been fully decided to remain out and
500 hands were thus thrown into q
strike at once. only a very few of the
workers. going into the ccill, and these
for the purpose of getting some person
al effects left behind.
Excitement followed the strike, for
about the Saxon mills there were gath
cred meny operatives from the other
mills who have already been added to
Cn6 large mum Der OF SGflKerS. In6 crown
took up the march toward Textile
Union hall and a little after meeting
was ,held. Tue strikers voted it the
best thing to go out now instead of re-
naming two weeks for the manufacture
ers to freeze them out.
Some committees we're appointed and
the strik was established on business
basis. On some matters, and particular
ly that relating to the policy to be pur-
sued, 1t was decided to await the action
of the district council, which has notssyet
endorsed or recognized any of the Olney-
vile strikes but the Atlantic.
At the extensive mills in the Riverside
group, there was also much excitement
this morning. About 1000 of the young
girls who are employed in the worsted
department went in to work, but soon
came out again, and from the different
departments other workers came out and
joined the strike. By II O'Clock only a
few scattered spinners and handful Of
the recently employed learners were left
in the departments where the men-were
largely employed. 1t was said that the
Riverside would be completely deserted
by night.
The Riverside strike is much more
general and ominous today at noon
than il was at any time yesterday, and
doubtless the strikers about Olneyvillt
will lend all their efforts to get the
whole force of the Olneyville workers
out to join in the general warfare.

Troubles Of a Bangor Sailor in the
City Of Lynn.
HIS WIFE LEFT HIM FOR
FASCINATING BARBER,

And Has Concealed His Young Daughter
and Refuses to Give Her Up-The
Matter Placed in the Hands of the
Police.
Lynn, Mass, May 2.--Moses E. A yles
lately of Bangor, Me-, but now residing
at $40 Western avenue, invoked the as
sisance of the police to find his six-year-
old daughter, who he claims accompanied
its mother to Lynn and has now disap-
peared. His wife. he states. knows the
whereabouts of the child, but refused to
divulge it's habitation to him. He asks
that he be allowed to sec and converse
with the child three or four times year.
Ayles claims to be sailor and says
for years he and his wife have lived in
Bangor when he was not at sea. Six
years ago daughter was born and this
is the child he now wishes to find. About
three months ago upon his return to
Bangor on the vessel in which he had
shipped, he states his wife and he agreed
to move to Lynn and day was set
upon which she and the child should
make the trip. He went to Boston on
the schooner and came to Lynn. He did
not find his wife and so started for
Maine where he learned his wife had
left the day before she. agreed to. Re-
turning to Lynn he endeavore,l to find
his wife and child, but was unsuccess-
full. bout two weeks ago be saw his
wife in window with strange man.
He waited round two days and then
met his wife and the man walking. He
spoke to his wife and she screamed and
told her company that he was her hus-
band. A fight ensued between the two
men, and the stranger, who is a barber.
finally ran away. His wife absolutely
refused then to let him see the child.
~ want nothing to do with her, but
do want to see my daughter" said Ayles.
