st. Petersburg. March 2-General de-
bate on the budget Of 1909 began to-day
in the Duma with program Of speeches
~ the president OF the budget commit
tee. NJ. Alexeienke. the constitutional
democratic member, NJ. shengarefr, and
Minister OF Finance Kokovsoff, which
lasted throughout the entire afternoon
and evening sessions
The principal criticism was !evelled
against the disproportionate amount Of
the military appropriation as compared
with that for cultural purposes. thu
expensive conditions of the last loan and
the absence OF the strict economy which
Russian finances demand. NJ. Alexeienke
showed that expenditures had increased
sl3S no in the last two years as conf
pared with an earlier annual average of
go 900 Ooo. He said that 43 l-2 per cent.
Of the budget estimates was devoted 70
military purposes and /. - per cent. to
education. agrartan reforms. etc II would
be a most urgent financial task 10 find
money for agrarian reform. the colon
i1ation OF Siberia and the improvement of
the condition Of workmen. particularly
workmen's insurance and that other ex-
pendItures such As for the navy and rail-
roads. must be deferred. He called atten-
ton TO the unfavorable change In the
balance OF trade which he said was duo
TO the steadily increasing imports and the
falling OF in exports. In conclusion he
declared that the record OF the last loans
constituted chronicle OF the death OF
Russian credit.
GREAT INCREASE FOR WAR.
NJ shengaror pointed out that the
expenditures Of the minister OF war
ard interior and Of the prison depart
ment had increased so per cent dur
ing the constitutional epoch and those
OF the ministries OF education and
agriculture one-half per cent. He de-
manded reduction Of the peace
strength OF the army.
Finance Minister Kokovsosf In re-
ply conceded the justice Of the crit
icsms OF the military expenditure
and declared that no further increase
should be allowed. The last loan. he
said. had been concluded under difer-
ent conditions and with the war cloud
hanging over the Balkan delay was
impossible. Nevertheless the terms
were far better than those OF the
previous loan and none could have
been obtained under more favorable
conditions.
The minister declared that despite the
effect Of the war with Japan the In
ternal disorders and the International
unrest arising from the troubles in
Morocco and the Balkans. Russian credit
now was steadily improving. Foreign m
vcstors he declared in conclusion had

public to-day by the appraiser Of the port
1t appears that the prosperity wave long
reported as headed IN this direction has
at least reached these shores.
The best indice ton Of IT'S presence Is to
be found. the appraiser declares, in the
imports Of gems and precious stones for
February. During the month the value
OF the diamonds. pearls. ruhies and other
gems entered through this port az
grcgated :2.aI6.1lo a gain over the i'm

On all other imports the total value
aggregated Sos. ST. 2s or sls5O0. 900 more
than for the corresponding month last
year.
One Item OF particular interest to
American automobile manufacturers Is
the fact revealed by the appraisers re-
port that the import OF foreign made
automobiles Is decreasing vaey rapidly.
