Hicks -Beaoh's Budget Arouses Much
Adverse Criticism.

LONDON, Mar. S.-The budget
seems likely to meet with considerabl,
criticism, especially the fact that the
income tax is made TO bear virtually
half Of the amount raised by the extra
taxation. II had been hoped in some
quarters that sugar would be taxed
but II is understood that there was a
fear of exciting the susceptibilities OF
France and Germany by such a course.
The morning papers give Sir Michael
Hicks Beach but faint praise. The
conservative organs remark that the
budget has been received with susplc-
ious cordiality by the leaders Of the
opposition. The Times says:
"Sir Michael Hicks Beach has missed
great opportunity which may never
present itself again. In the present
state of the public mind he might have
carried the nation with him in con-
servative reform OF the basis of our
fiscal system. 1t is a trivial budget
that any school boy might have drawn
up. Nothing has been done to widen
the basis Of taxation or to create new
reserve Of contributory power"
The Standard. which comments in
the same strain, calls the budget tim
i'd II finds significance in the point
ed reminder Of the chancellor Of the
exchequer that even a greater outlay
may be necessary within the year.
The Daily News and the Daily
Chronicle warmly praise the budget,
expressing the opinion that Sir Michael
Hicks Beach has faced the situation
with boldness and courage.

GERMAN TRADE HOSTILITY.
1t Is Being Made a Matter Of Investi-
CATION by This Government.

NEW YORK, Mar. ga special TO
the Herald from Washington says:
Though the administration cannot
protest against injurious legislation
pending in the German legislature. it
has developed that it has been making
quiet investigation to ascertain the
extent of the adulteration Of German
importations into the United States.
This investigation has extended to
the imports Of other European gov
ernments. which impose restrictions on
American goods.
In the case Of Germany, the informa-
to be obtained will be Of value in de-
termining the course this government
shall adopt should the meat inspection
bill, reported by the reichstag COM
mittee, be enacted into law.
This investigation, which has been
going on for some little time, has de-
veloped that the objection raised by
the German government against Amer
ican products also exists in German
goods. This discovery is very crafty
ing to the officials, as it furnishes them
with an excellent weapon to be en-
ployed in case of need. German wines
are said to contain authorizations and
the president, should he determine. to
do so, can take measures to exclude
them.
Examination Of a statement Of the
provisions of the bill reported by the
reichstag committee shows, the au-
thorities say, that American meats can
be entirely excluded. The press dis
patches indicated that the conditions
relative to inspection had been modi-
fed, but Ambassador Whites dispatch
that the bill contemplates
an imperial inspection at the port Of
entry and local inspection In the pro-
vince which is the destination Of the

NAVAL BILL AGREED ON.
II Provides for Large Increase and
Improvement Of the Service.

NEW YORK, Mar "a special tC
the Herald from Washington says
Provision will be made in this years
naval appropriation bill for construc-
tion program fully equal to the ex-
pectation of the friends Of the service.
The bill will probably be reported by
the house committee on naval affairs
before the end OF the present week.
1t is still subject to change. but as It
stands tonight. 1t provides for two
large battleships, three armored cruis-
ers of lS500 tons displacement, and
four gunboats OF nine hundred tons
displacement.
The committee has not yet fixed the
size of the battleshlps but they will
probably be l4.5OO or 1900 tons. The
armored cruisers are to have high
speed and large coal capacity with the
heaviest armor and armament possi-
bic to be carried on vessels of their
type. The three protected cruisers are
to be improved olympias, The gun

reference to their use among the Phil
ippines.
In deciding to provide for armored
cruisers and protected cruisers mem
bers Of the committee were largely In
fiuenced by the recommendations OF
Admiral Dewey. who declared armored
cruisers superior to battleships in a
great many respects. their inferiority
in armor and armament being more
than compensated for, in his opinion,
by their greater radius of action and
their speed and maneuvering qualities
He said he would De willing to fight
such an armored cruiser as he rec
ommended against any battleship.
Admiral Dewey's experience with the
Olympia and the other protected cruis-
ers in his squadron at the battle Of
Manila led him to recommend the con-
struction Of similar vessels as the
Olympia but with larger displacement
so as to admit OF their carrying heav-
Ter batteries and more protection for
their guns.
No final decision has yet been ar
rived at as to the armor for the new |
vessels and for those authorized in for
mer bills. but it has practically been |
decided by the committee to provide |
that they shall have the best armor |
obtainable and TO increase the limit of |
cost to $545 per ton. Last years bill |
fixed the limit at $500 and the secretary |
OF the navy has been unable to con-
tract for Krupp armor at that price.
The increased limit will enable him to
secure this armor.
AS the bill stands, it carries appro-
priations aggregating about S63, ,OOe. 900.
This limit may be increased If the COM
mittee yields to pressure being exerted
from cities in which navy yards are
located to provide that some Of the
ships shall be built in government
yards. II this is decided upon it will
be necessary to very largely increase
the appropriations for navy yards so
as to provide for new shops and ma
chinery plants. 1t is not probable that
this will be done.

A man in a Butte suburb is having

other man and is endeavoring to have the
matter Strengthened out. This morning
he called on the county attorney and
asked for a complaint against the other
man, but the case vas not we'll enough
defined to entitle him to official recog-
milton. He said that the other man, who
is a machinist, was doing his best to
break up his family and had been at it
for some time. He said he formerly lived
in a Madison county town. The machin-
list had also lived there. On frequent &C.
casions he had found him in his house
and ordered him away and the intruder
would go, only to return again as soon
as his back was turned. The caller said
he had upbraided his wife for her con
duct towards her paramour and she
swore by all that was good that there
vas nothing improper in his attentions
to her. The caller said he did not be-
lieve her. One day, in order to satisfy
his suspicious, he had bored a small peek
hole through the ceiling of the bed room
while his wife was away and on her re-
turn announced his intention of going
fishing or some other place. Instead of
leaving town, however, he had climbed
into the loft from the outside removed
