THE BUDGET.
Reading of it Filled the House of Commons This
 Morning.

London, April 19.-The widespread interest in the presentation of the budget to-day was evidenced by the crowded state Of the house of com mons. Long before the chancellor of the exchequer, Austen Chamberlain, rose to make his statement, every part of the house was filled. Joseph Cham, berlain 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 a great reception from the occupants of the ministerial benches, while the nationalists invited him to sing "Rule Britannia and greeted him with shouts of Pig Tai 7
 Austen Chamberlain opened us speech by expatiating on the difficult ties of his position, the great wave of prosperity which Great Britain had enjoyed so long having apparently spent it's force and given place to less prosperous cycle. The industries of Great Britain. especially the cotton in- dustry, were oppressed and foreign competition was keener than ever. The markets in which Great Britain heretofore had been supreme were in creasingly threatened The commer- cial depression in the United Kingdom was aggravated by the conditions in South Africa. The revenue for 1903-04 was $13, 3,62O,OO0 below the estimate while the expenditure exceeded the es- innate by $15,035,00O. The repeal of the duty on wheat had been more cost ly than anticipated, without affording the consumer the re ief expected. The net total deficit for the financial year was $27,075,O0O
 MT Chamberlain in presenting the budget estimated that the ineXpendi- lures for 19O41905 would be $714, ,400,- GOO, while the revenue on the basis of the existing taxation would be only S695, ,300,000, leaving a deficit of $19- 100000 In order to make up this de- felt he proposed to increase the in- come tax by two cents and also pro- posed readjustmelt of the tobacco tax and the laying of an additional tax of four cents per pound on tea.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
It Affects About Fourteen Hundred
 Suspended Protests.

New York, April 19.-A decision has been announced by the United States circuit court of appeals in the French cordial cases argued few weeks ago. The courts ruling is in favor of the importers and if not carried to the supreme court of the United States the board of appraisers will be able to decide 1,4OO suspended protests and the government will have to refund about $25O,OOO in duties.
 The issue involved in the cases Is whether the clause of the reciprocity agreement with France admitting spirits at duty of $1.75 a gallon instead of $225 applies to liquors and cordials. The government has con- tended that as these articles were provided for in the tariff law in a separate paragraph from spirits they could not be included in the general term in the agreement with France.
