Corroborative proof that the settlement is be
usved 10 he close at hand is found in the dispo-
sition of the ministry TO defer as long as posi-
bla the budget speech. The budget has been ex-
raeted before Easter, but il is now rumored in
parliament that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will
,ot introduce it until the short holiday is over.
The inference drawn by the practical politicians
is that he has two budgets we'll in hand and
that he is holding them back in hope that Lord
Kitchener's diplomacy Will prevail and that the
more favorable one may be introduced.
The budget debate may have an important in
auence upon the political fortunes of the Lib
erals Sir William Vernon Harcourt has re-
manned in the background since the opening of
the session. Unless he is in good fighting form
in the budget debate a movement in favor of
Lord Roseberys return TO leadership will receive
q strong impulse in the May conference of the
party at Bradford. Lord Rosebery has strength
ened his position in the Liberal party by the
stand taken in the progressive canvass against
the water companies.

ly resolves itself into a railroad one
for the reason that the railroads have,
and the indications are, will have.
plenty to do even should it develop
that the corn crop is short. However,
as have said, there is ample time yet
for much of the damage to be over.

Four Hundred Freight Handlers Out
at Port Costa, Cal. :
Port Costa, CAL, July 17.-Four hun
dred men who handle freight in the
warehouses here have gone out on
strike. Work in all the warehouses
from Nevada dock to Crockett, as well
as the Crockett sugar refinery, is at a
standstill and shipping is completely
tied up. The men presented an ulti-
matum to their employers. They asked
for So day for nine hours and time
and half for all overtime. The ware
houses offered raise of cents per
hour, which would be 80 cents an hour
for 10 hours work, but refused to rec
ognize the men as a union. This offer
did not meet with the approval of the
men and they walked out.
