new BUDGET
IS PRESENTED
Austin Chamberlain Out
lines Plan for Removing
Deficit by Increased Taxes

LONDON, April 19-The widespread
interest in the presentation of the bud
get to-day was evinced by the crowded
state of the House of Commons. Long
before the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, Austen Chamberlain, rose to
House was filled. Joseph Chamber
lain was present to hear his son, as
was Mrs. Chamberlain. The former
Colonial Secretary, whose first public
appearance it was since his return from
abroad, met with great reception from
the occupants of the Ministerial
benches, while the Nationalists invited
him to- sing Rule Britannia" and
greeted him with shouts of "pigtail."
Austen Chamberlain opened his
speech by commenting on the difficult
ties of his position, the great wave of
prosperity which Great Britain had
enjoyed'so long having spent it's force
and given place to less prosperous
cycle. The industries of Great Bri-
tain, especially the cotton industry,
were depressed and foreign competi-
ton was keener than ever. The mar
kets in which Great Britain had here
tofore been supreme were increasingly
threatened.
The commercial depression in the
United Kingdom was aggravated by
the conditions in South Africa. The
revenue for 10000 was S13,620, 900
below the estimate, while the expendi-
lures exceeded the estimate by $15,-
035, 900. The repeal of the duty on
wheat had been more costly than an
ticipated, without affording the con-
sumner the relief expected. The net
total deficit for the fiscal year was
S27,075,000.
Chamberlain estimated the expendi-
ture of 1904-5 at 100000, and the
revenue on the basis of the existing
taxation at $685., 900. leaving a def
cit of $40, 100000 to be made up. He
proposed, therefore, to increase the in
come tax by two cents. He also pro-
posed an additional tax of four cents
per pound on tea. The Chancellor fur
ther proposed readjustment of the to-
bacco tax, imposing a duty of 81 cents
on tobacco stripped before imported
also an additional duty of II cents or
cigars and an additional 75 cents on
foreign cigarettes.
Chamberlain proposed also to raise
the moisture limit to 80 per cent and
| introduce three or four different rates
in the drawbacks. which he hoped
would increase Great Britain's tobacco
export trade, especially to the colonies
The net gain by these tobacco changes
was estimated at so, $50, 900.

Officer Starts for
Post. at Port
Arthur.
Fervent FareWells
on Day of De-
parture.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 19.-vice
Admiral Skrydloff arrived here to-day
on his way to the Far East, where he
will take command of the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur. he was accorded an
enthusiastic reception by the people
who thronged the streets.
The vast Zenamifskaia square, op-
posite the Nicholas Railroad station,
was black with people. and the police
guarding the platform were quite un-
able to cope with the crowds which
broke through the Gordon and rushed
toward the train.
There were repeated outbreaks of
enthusiastic cheers as the admiral left
the car and from the bareheaded
throng a peasant stepped out and pre-
sented Admiral Skrydloff with a copy
of a picture entitled 1.-The Holy Virgin
of Joy to the Afflicted" which is re-
puted to have miraculous power.
The peasant also presented the ad-
miral with consecrated bread, telling
Skrydloff that he saluted him in the
name of the masses of the Russian
people, all of whose hopes depended
on him as the hero of the Russo
Turkish war.
THE people are convinced" added
the spokesman, that Admiral Skryd
loft will justify the hopes. of the EN-
peror and the fatherland and, like the
Virgin whose picture has just been
given him, will bring joy, and that
soon, to a people now afflicted"
The Admiral, who was visibly affect
ed, took the picture, declaring that ne
accepted it as a happy presage, and
adding that he would not part with the
picture throughout the campaign and
that he would put all his faith in God.
A representative of the middle classes
presented the admiral with a picture
of st. Theodosius, the miracle worker
of Czerniakoff The admiral then en-
tered carriage and drove off, followed
by deafening shouts of Long live
Skrydloff!'
Addressing the newspaper men, the
admiral declared he was deeply sensi-
bic of the kindness shown him. Subse-
quently Skrydloff called on the Grand
Duke Alexis, high admiral, and Vice
Admiral Avellan, chief of the Ad-
miralty.
Tomorrow he will be received in
audience by the Emperor and En-
press. Probably he will return to
Sebastopol on Saturday to formally
hand over the Black Sea fleet to- his
successor.

New Commander
the Enemy of the
Viceroy.
Politics Has Part
in Alexieff'S
Troubles.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 19.-The
immediate cause for the Viceroy's ap-
plication for retirement is reported to
be the appointment of Vice Admiral
Skrydloff, one of Admiral Alexieff'
strongest enemies and sharpest critics,
as successor to the late Vice Admiral
Makaroff in command of the Russian
navy in the Far East.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff had an in
terview with the Emperor to-day and
discussed with his Majesty the ques-
ton of his (Skrydlof's) relations with
Alexieff. The relieving from command
of Viceroy Alexieff would not surprise
intelligent observers of the Far East
ern situation who are familiar with
the gradual change in the Emperor's
attitude toward the Viceroy and M.
Bezebrazoff, who represented the mill
tant or advanced element, which was
anxious that Russia should remain in
Manchuria.
1t was to these two men that the
Anglo-Japanese entente first lost its
friends. They believed that Great
Britain would not go to war and that
Japan could not do so. To the indig-
nation of japan they succeeded in
turning the policy of the empire from
carrying out the treaty for the entire
evacuation of Manchuria, pending fur
ther demands on China.
On August IL last, after Japan had
submitted an inquiry as to whether or
not Russia was disposed to reopen the
negotiations respecting Manchuria and
Korea, q Viceroyalty in the Far East,
a special Secretary of State and an ad-
visory committee were created, Alexieff
being appointed Viceroy and Bezebra-
zoff Secretary of State.
Seventeen days after the appoint
ments were made NJ. Witte. who had
been opposed to the policy of Alexieff
and Bezebrazoff, was relieved of his
portfolio as Minister of Finance.
1t was through his new official ad-
visers that the Emperor conducted ne
gotiations with Japan. and it is
claimed that they misjudged the tenn
per and purpose of the Japanese and
left the Emperor in ignorance of the
preparations for war which Japan was
making and the rising spirit of that
empire.
The enemies of Alexieff have persist
emily asserted that as the man on the
spot he should have kept the Emperor
informed concerning these vital points.
On the eve of the war Alexieff ap-
parently still had the confidence of the
Czar, but the lack of preparedness of
the Port Arthur fleet, as shown in the
cases of the battleships Retvizan and
Cesarevitch, called the attention of the
Emperor to the slackness of the naval
administration in the Far East.
The eanti-Alexieff party in st. Peters
burg hold that Vice Admiral Stark,
who was the .Viceroy's- representative,
was responsible under him for the first
reyerses at Port Arthur.

EASTERN CROPS. HURT

In Districts East of Rocky Mountains
Growth Is Retarded-Wheat on
Coast Is FIOurishinp

OrOWtn Is hetarueu-Nneat on
Coast Is FIourishing.
WASHINGTON, April 10. The
Weather Bureaus weekly summary of
crop conditions follows:
In nearly all the districts east of the
Rocky Mountains the week ending
April Is was unseasona5ly cold and
very unfavorable for termination and
growth. Farm work, however, in the
Missouri Valley and Southern and Mid
die Atlantic States made very favor
able progress, but in the northern dis
tricts practically nothing has been done.
The States of the upper lake region
were covered with snow to a consid-
cradle depth during the latter part of
the week. The Pacific Coast States and
Rocky Mountain districts reported a
week of highly favorable conditions,
but severe drought continues from Cen
trail and Western Texas to the South
Pacific Coast.
In Missouri and over the greater por-
tion of Kansas and Nebraska winter
wheat has made good growth, but
needs warmer weather. Winter wheat
has made splendid growth on the Pa
cific Coast and particularly in Wash
ington and in Oregon. Spring wheat
seeding has been in active progress on
the North Pacific Coast, about one-half
the area in Washington having been
sown.
In the Mississippi Valley seeding has
been active and is well advanced, hav-
ing been finished in Kansas. The early
sown in these sections is making
q slow start. In the Southern States
the crop as a whole is doing well, but
is in need of rain in Oklahoma
Fruit has experienced a week of good
conditions throughout the central val
leys, Middle Atlantic and Southern
States, and while the reports indicate
that much injury has been done by
frosts and freezing temperatures good
prospects due principally to the late
ness of the season continue in many
sections.

WOMAN BADLY BURNED
By AN EXPLODING LAMP
Mrs. j. p. Sharkey Sustains Serious
Injuries and Frame Building Is
Damaged by Fire.


Injuries and Frame Building Is
Damaged by Fire.
AS the result of an explosion of a
kerosene lamp last evening at 443
Eleventh street Mrs. j. p. Sharkey was
severely burned on the face, arms and
hands, and the building and contents
were damaged by fire and water to
the extent of $1,000.
Shortly after o'clock Mrs. Shar-
key, who conducts a confectionery
store at the Eleventh-street address,
lit hanging lamp in the establish
ment. In order to reach the wick she
was compelled to stand on a chair.
The match had hardly been applied
when there was an explosion, and
owing to the unfortunate woman's
proximity to the lamp the blazing oil
was scattered over the upper portion
of her body. She ran screaming with
pain and terror into the street, and
several members of 30 engine, half a
block away, hastened to her assist
ance. BY wrapping their coats about
her the firemen extinguished the blaz-
ing garments.
The fire IN the store had assumed a
threatening aspect by this time, ne
cessitating an alarm from box 1856.
Engine Company 29 was on the scene
in a moment, and upon the arrival of
the other apparatus the flames were
soon under control.
Mrs. Sharkey was conveyed to the
Central Emergency Hospital. The
burns, which are of the second de-
gree, are not regarded as necessarily
fatal.
j. F. Kelly and his family occupied
the upper portion of the building as a
dwelling place and sustained consid-
cradle damage. No insurance was
carried by either of the tenants.
