GIVEN MORE FREEDOM.
Che Imprisoned Leader OF the Fill
pinos Is Transferred to n Private
Residence in Manila.

Manila, April 22.-Aguinaldo has
palace to a private residence, Sc So
lano street. The guard placed over
him has been modified. Gen. MacAr-
thur says the effect of Aguinaldo's adj
dress to the Filipinos will undoubted-
ly be beneficial. Aguinaldo composed
his address without assistance. The
original draft was in Tagalog. 1t was
afterward translated into Spanish. 1t
is believed Aguinaldo is sincerely de-
sirous of peace. He is not an educated
man, but is possessed of considerable
character and improves on acquaint-
ance. Agluinaldo is not anxious to visit
the United States, and it is considered
best that he should remain here pend
ing the compile tion of the work of paci-
fication.
The insurgent prisoners at Olongapo
will be returned to Manila. Many pris-
oners are released daily in exchange
for guns surrendered. Gen. Trias, who
surrendered March Is at San Francis
co de Malabon, is accomplishing much
in securing the surrender of outstand-
ing insurgents. Russian, Fabella, Cos
mo, Ortonez and Webb, who are impli-
Gated with Carman in trading opera
tions with the insurgents of Laguna,
were released on $4,000 bail.

BRITISH FINANCES.
New Budget Is Presented to House OF
Commons Showing "a Heavy
Deficit.

London, April 19.-The new budget
was presented to the house Of COM
mons Thursday afternoon by Sir Mi
chael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the
eXcheQuer. 1t is the most notable
presentation of British finances in
the history of the empire and is the
one topic of newspaper discussion in
this mornings papers. Briefly sum-
married., the budget speech shows
that in the last fiscal year Great Brit
aims expenditures on account OF the
Boer war were 1926, 100000, that that
conflict has added $275,000,0O0 to the
national bonded indebtedness, and
that a net deficit of 1855, 935,0O0 still
remains to be satisfied.
In order to make up this deficit and
to meet the constantly increasing ex-
penses of the empire Sir Michael Hicks
Beach asks authority to borrow $780,
100000, and proposes the following
items of increased taxation:
On incomes an addition of two pence,
making the total % cents upon every five
dollars
On refined sugar a tax of four sh1llings
two pence S10S) on each hundredWe1ght.
On mOlasses tax of two shllllngs (oO
cents) per hundredwefght.
On glucose a tax of one shilling eight
pence al cents per hundredWeight.
On coal an export tax of one shilling
(25 cents) per ton.
From these additions to British taxes
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach estimates the
annual revenue will be-
From incomes ......................$19 SIS, 000, 600
From sugar, molaSSeS and glu-
cose Lo,ooO,ouo

The debate on the budget proposals
continued until late hour, and at 1 40
o'clock this morning the house adopt
ed the sugar and coal duties, deferring
action on the income tax and the war
loan until another sitting.
London, April 2O.-Taken as a
whole, the comments of the country
on the proposals of the chancellor
of the exchequer in the budget state
ment presented Thursday cannot be
regarded as unfavorable. The out
standing feature of the public's re-
ception of the budget is the outcry
from the coal districts, and, in
lesser degree, from the businesses af-
fected by the sugar tax.

CAPT. RIPLEY ACQUITTED.
Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of Bein 9
in a Conspiracy to Assassi-
nate GOebel.

Frankfort, Ky, April 22.-The jury
in the case of Capt. Garnett Ripley,
charged with being in a conspiracy
which resulted in the assassinatio
of William Goebel, Saturday rendered
a verdict Of not guilty, after being out
only a short time.
The defendant was Immediately sur
rounded by friends and congratulated.
Although the jury was out two
hours, most of the time was taken up
in discussing the case in the jury room.
Only two ballots were taken. On the
first ballot ten jurors voted ''not
guilty" and two voted guilty" The
two who voted guilty said they be-
lieved the evidence showed him con-
nected with the conspiracy, but when
they learned that either a life impris-
onment sentence or the death SEN
tence must be imposed and that a
shorter sentence would not be i'm
posed, they came over and voted with
the ajority for an acquittal.
The verdict in the Ripley case is gen
orally approved, though it was a sur
prise, as it was generally predicted
there would be- hung jury. Capt.
Ripley is the fourth one of the alleged
GOebel suspects to be tried

EThe democratic party may make
temporary gains in the north, but no
party can succeed which depends
upon force, fraud and disfranchise-
ment to carry elections, as that party

states-Cleveland Leader.
UPeople who are complaining
about Gen. FunstoH's method be-
cause it was not specified in tactics,
and was irregular, should remember
that he was dealing with an enemy
who was so irregular himself that
there was no other way to get at

Stops Football.

The Marinette school board took
action which practically prohibits
the game of football in the local
schools. One resolution was passed
prohibiting the playing of the game
on the school grounds and another
denying to the high school boys the
right to use the name of the Mari
nette high school for a football team
without special permission. This will
kill the sport as far as the high
prohibiting dancing IN the public
school was also adopted.

TRADE REVIEW.
Number of Factors Serve to Give
the Situation EncOur-
aging Aspect.

New York, April 20.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Favor
able crop reports, heavy bank clearings,
record breaking railroad earnings, large
distribution of spring and summer goods
and easy collections give the business s1tu-
alton an encouraging aspect Wall street
speculation does not yet discount any ap-
preaching reaction IN commercial lines,
and the money market seems to have
turned the corner at least for the present
Cotton and wcolen goods retain their gain
of last week, though partly on account Of
the idieness Of many mills. The wool mar
ket is steady, Notwithstanding the absence
of demand from large producers Of goods.
Aside from the uneasiness caused by labor
controversies, no setback has appeared iE
the leading industry. Conditions of supply
and demand are similar to those existing
for the past few months; in some lines pur-
chasers are increasingly impOrtunate
while in others there is slightly less
urgency for prompt shipment, but In all
branches of iron and steel manufacture re-
Quirements are much in excess of availa BILE
stocks Recent evidence of large grain
crops has brought agricultural implement
makers into the market for bars and many
have contracted for their entire year S
supply Another feature was the greater
activity in structural material for bridges
and buildings, while the large tonnage OF
steel rails already placed did not prevent
further orders The recent advance in
plates failed to diminish business. Faith
in the future is evidenced by more plans
for the erection of new mills with enor-
nous capacity.
