St. Petersburg (By Cable) The bud
get statement for 1906, which was just
issued shows that it will be necessary
to raise $40, 10000 by credit operations
to balance the estimated receipts and ex-
penditurcs. The latter include S2o2, ,5oo,-
600 for the liquidation of the expenses
OF the Russo-Japanese War, the repa-
triation OF the troops in the Far East, and
the reduction of the army TO a peace
footing. For the first time the total cost
OF the war ($Io5ooooooo) is revealed.
The credit operations TO balance 10
budget include the recent authorization
OF $2oo,ooo,ooo in treasury bonds, $751;
100000 OF which has already been used
to renew the Mendelssohn loan. and the
credit OF $roooooooo which former FL
nance Minister Kokovsoff is now nego-
tiating in Paris. The primary object Of
the latter, the proceeds of which will
be retained in Paris, is understood to be
the maintenance of the stability of the
rouble.
The budget statement does not dodge
the prevailing conditions in Russia. 1t is
pointed out specifically that the receipts
from nearly all resources have been
scaled down, and, moreover, it is stated
that if the disorders in the interior do
not cease there may be some branches
OF revenue Oh which it will be impossible
to count.
The budget also deals frankly with the
heavy drain on the gold reserve of the
state bank balances abroad, which have
fallen $I52, 100000 in the three months
preceding January I. During the last 10
days of the year the gold reserve was re-
duced by $3o,soo,ooo, while the issue OF
paper currency was increased by $2o,-
100000.
The increase of paper issued, the state
ment says, was made by the bank in an
effort to come to the rescue of the busi-
ness interests which were almost par
alyzed, and which had been refused loans
by private banks, owing to the panicky
conditions and to the reduction of the
foreign credits of houses with connec-
tions abroad.
In the budget statement It is an
nounced that manifestos will be issued
giving the nation the right to participate
in the examination OF future budgets
This, therefore, will be the last budget
to be examined solely by the council of
the empire without the cooperation of an
elective assembly. 1t is further stated
that the surplus for 1905 will be greater

Mrs. NorrIs Case In House.

A sensational climax to nearly five
hours of somewhat humdrum debate on
the Philippine tariff came in the House
of Representatives when young Mr..
Sheppard of Texas fcrcely arraigned the
Presidents subordinates for their con-
duct in the recent Mrs. Morris episode
at the White House. Messrs. Payne and
Grosvenor both sought 10 prevent him,
Mr.. Payne on the ground that it was not
germane to the bill before the committee
and Mr.. Grosvenor by a suggestion that
the subject better comported with the
dignity of police court than that of the
House of Representatives
Mr.. Sheppard's remarks were based
upon his resolution looking TO an investi-
CATION of the affair. He narrated what
he termed the unwarrantable and un-
necessary brutalities and barbarous treat
ment of Mrs. Morris, and declared that
unless Congress took action we soon
would witness condition where citizens
cannot approach the President without
fear OF bodily harm from arbitrary sub
ordinates. The outrageous action toward
Mrs. Morris, he said, was distinct low
ering of the standards of American man
hood and in violation of the sentiment of
reverence for women.
