effect on British party politics. Chan cellor Hicks-Beach's dilemma is Sir William HarcouTt's opportunity. The
 deficit has gilded the sunshine of the Riviera for Sir William. He is prim- ing himself for the April debates in the house of commons, and as the most successful financier there, he can ig- nore his Roseberyite rivals as the chief critic Of the government, just as the rivals who studied the insignificant liberal opinion of London and the south of England entirely misjudged the success of his Protestant campaign in the north of England, Scotland and Wales. But the great importance of this weeks taxation discussions is that the country is willing to spend all that is asked and isn't afraid to hear req sons why it should raise money that is needed by indirect taxation. It is striking repudiation of Cobdenism.

ADMIRAL DIEDRICHs TRANSFER
Prince Henry's Command in the Far East Expected to Remove
 Foreign Suspicion.

Berlin, March 10.-The appointment of Prince Henry of Prussia to the con- mand Of the cruiser squadron in Chi nese waters is hailed as likely to re- move the foreign suspicion of Ger many. which Admiral DiedTich's com mand inspired.
 The Neuste Nachrichten says that the promotion has distinct political significance. It adds.
 '"The malicious agitation against Ad- miral Diedrichs in the English and American press will not be continued against the brother of Emperor Will liam"
 The paper thinks that such attacks will certainly not find support in Eng land, where Prince Henry is very pop ular, especially among naval officers.

AWARDED TO SMITH
LaVigne'S Brother Jumped Into inc
 Ring to Prevent a knockout.

San Francisco, March 10.-The con- test between Mysterious Billy Smith and George Lavigne tonight was not an entirely satisfactory fight. It began with repeated fouling on the part of Smith, who, in the first round again and again violated the agreement not to strike in the clinches. After re- peated warnings, referee, Jim Me Donald, told Smith that upon his next offense he would award the fight to Lavigne and Billy was very careful thereafter.
 As for the conclusion of the fight, it might be termed a strangled culmina- tion. Smith apparently had Lavigne going in the 14th round George was certainly groggy and his head wobbled uncertainty from two stiff jolts, right and left, on the jaw. At the critical moment when it was uncertain whether Smith could finish his man in the few seconds left of the round, and when there was a bare possibility that Lavigne might stay the round out, and, then exercising his remarkable power of recuperation might come up after a minutes rest, his brother, Billy Lavigne, jumped into the ring and placed his arm around Georges shouI- der and thus ended the battle The referee had no alternative but to award the fight to Smith, and Billy Lavignes display of sentimentality and family pride, served no good end except, per haps, to prevent a humiliating and de- cisive knockout.
