FINANGE MINISTER'S BUDGET SPEECH,
No Ghange in ti Protec-

SOME OF THE ALLEGED KEA-[ ira Dewey and Chairmas Schurman, of ;
SONS.
| Oil Duties not Reduced as Some Per-
sons Anticipated.
[Spscrat ro THe ExaMIves. ]
Orrawa, May 3.—The Badgat statement for the this vear was not awaited with in- terest ae no one expected any disclosures or tariff changer of importance.
Atter reviewing the finances of the year which closed last June, the Finance Min- iater took up the record of the current year ending June, 1896. The revenue for the ten months of the year now expired is year. Allowing for @ proportonate in- crease of revenue in the last twe months of the year and allowing tnat the current out- lay for the year wonld be $42,026,000, there would be a surp!usof $4,408,000 (Long continued government cheers. )
[on additition to thie current expenditure there has been a capital.expeuditure of
7,163,000 and $1,500,000 more would be required before theend of June, making a total capital expenditure $8,663,=| 000.
Notwithstanding the surplus, there would be a net addition of $1,700,000, to the debt, after allowing for increased sinking fund aesets. (Cootinued opposi- tion laughter.)
Speaking on the Yukon finances, Mr. Fielding explained that last year that dietriet coat about $700,000 and yielded to the revenue about double that much.
During the ten months of this year the Yukon cost $1,146,000 and had yielded $795,000"
But the Finance Minister expects there will be no deficit by the time the year is out,for the revenues of last wiuter’s ope@ tions will then be collected.
Mr. Fielding said that he had no tariff changes to propose—not even in the oil duty. As to the oil be, however, propored to abolish all restrictions on the manner of importation except those neceseary for safety.
Dealers would be allowed to import in tank vessels,(ank cars, barrelsor tin cans- Inenection fees would be abolished.
“We do not propose to change er reduce the tariff’ said Mr. Fielding. “I admit that it is not perfect, but there are reasons why ! it should not be disturbed.” The first reason was that tariff stability wae neces- sary to keep business steady ; second, it is only nine months ago that the full trade preference to British goods had come into force, and therefore the tariff conditions were compsratively new; third, it was not advisable to wake tariff changes while negctiations with the United States were in progress.
Speaking of ‘these segotiations, Mr. Fielding said that Canadians were
not as anxious for reciprocity as they were two yearsago. Free trade relations would always be desirable, but Canadians were

Unconditional Surrender | Demanded.
Manita, May 1.—During the conference | of the Filipino emissaries with Major=Gen, Ous On the 25ib the Filipiaos wold Gen, | Ocis that they had been conquered, but | said that they hed no power to surrender without the authority of the Filipino Con- gress. Attue second conference, which Look place yesterday morning in which Ad
the American Poiiippines Commission, partisipi ated, the request of the Filipinos for @ cesravion of hostilities couvening of Congress was renewed. Gen. | Otis said tbat be bad no authority to giant | un armistice on the basis suggested. The Filipino envoys returned throuzb the lines this afternoon, after taking luncheon with Mr. Schurman. ¥ Gen. Otis, iu bis coaferencs with the envoys promised amnesty to all offenders, provided that the Filipivos surrendered uncooditionally. The appearance of tue ‘Filipino Comwissioners in the streets, driving with Aid-de-Camp Sladen, aroused the greatest curiosity today, natives and foreigners.alike rushing to their windows to see them. The commissioners visited the Filipino wounded in the hos- pitels, talking freely wit them, and giving each patient @ Lalf dollar. They ex- pressed themselves as greatly pleased at their reception and treatment.
Col. Arguel es, the senior envoy, was a member of the Filipino commission 8p - pointed to treat with the Americans last January. Hesaid be believed that Lieut. Gilmore and the missing sailors of the Yorktown were pow prisovers in the hands of the Filipinos aad were being brought} acroes the Island from the vicin'ty of Baler by their captors.

POR RUSSIAS’S TROUBLES AT HOME
Harrowing Condition of Dictricts in
the Famine Provinces.
Lonpon, May i,—Letters from the famine provinces of Russia tell of grea: distreas, lo the Prov ce of Kazan, the
centre of the famine dia rict, the Red Cross Society alone is feeding 132,000 persons. Ihe relief delegate in the Province of Ufa reports that peasants are after him an! begged for food on their knees in the Pnow. [be St. Petersburg Skyva Viedomosti, in a vivid description of the
misery and disease prevalenvio Kazan, ' says :—“‘Crime, mortality, and the numb- \er of still-born infant« have incre wed, ani vow scurvy and thphue are devouring | the poyulation like a conflagration fanned
iby the wind, but this isa case not of
| houses and baras, but of buman lives be~
ing destroyed.”
Meanwhile, to all the Ruesian diff- culties mew embarrassment is added Exceptin Finland, whose luyalty survives even the prefidious blow at its independ~ ences there is not. a single high-class edu~ cational establish ‘nt open to-day, All have beea closed uy the police till the end of the year, and only a minute proportion of the students is undergoing examina- tions. ThaSt. Petersburg prisons can - not find room for more etudente, yet arrests and domiciliary vists are occurring nightly. Many of the students have been exiled to Siberia. Oo Thursday last 230 girls in the Women’s High school were ordered by the police to lesve the city within forty-eight bours. The disintegra- tion tous caused and the disorganiza—- tion in the public service which will result in the future are inealeulable, and add greatly tothe Russian necessity for relief from external soxiety.
Seal on Marchand’s Lips.
Chairman Schurman, of the Ameri- ean Philippines Commission, in an ir- terview yesterday afteraoon said that be
bad attended the covfereoce between the Americans avd the Flipino envoys, and, at the request of
Gen. Orie, had given expres-ion to the sentiments of Presideat McKinley regard- ing the future goveromeat of the Philip- | piues. After this conference closed, Col.
Arguelles requested a further conference | with Mr. Scnurman slose. The request
was granted, and the couf-renc: lasted tw»
hours. Argurlies b gyn talking indepea-
dence,and then about # suspeusion of
bostiliies, bat Mr. Schurman declined to | discuss these matters. Aguelles said that he thought a suspension of hostilities, | pendiog the conveuing of the Filipino | Congress and tde discussion of the situa» tion by that body, would satisfy the senti- ment of the Filipinos, giving peace with dignity.
Mr. Schurman explained that the in~ surgents were merely fighting for a con- stitution. They could, if their arms were laid down, now help the American com- missicne:s to frame a scheme of govern— ment for recommendation to President Mc- | Kinley, thus influencing the deterwiuation of a future government, and giving them | more dignity nan a suspension of hostili~| ties would. Mr. Schurman was requested by Arguelies to write to Aguinaldo, but he declined to do so.
Col. Arguelies impresssed Mr. Schur man as being sincere and honourable, but not as being conversant with the secrets of the ineurgeat p liticians. Arguelles’ staterncnt led Mr. Schurman to believe that the action of the Filipinos in sending him and his fellow envoy into the Ameri- cau lines was the beginuing of the end. —
Arguelles’ mission, Mr. Scbhurman said, had not eurprieed him, ae the commie~| sioners have held covferences with for- | mer insurgent Cabinet offizers, who, laut werk, advi-ed Aguinallo’s leaders to lay down their arms, as their cause was hopeless.
The Oceania, voicing the opini on of the Spaniards here, says thatthe pro~ position for an armistice is sbeolu' ly contrary to the utterances of the insurg B° press and the ideas of Sesor Mabini, the Filipino Foreign Secretary; but emanating from Gen. Luna, who is known to be an irreconcilable insurgent, it bears greater significance than if made by any otber of the rebel leaders.

never so weliable as now todo without them.
The negotiations would be resumed. If they tailed Canada will go on in her pre~ sent course.
In conclusion the Finance Minister uttered a note of warning. It was a time of great prosperity; but the pendulum might soon swieg the other way. Not every year was & Finance Minister able to make such a showing as he had made. We could not always have good crops and good prices. If the people would take a word of advice they would not clap on too much seail,so that whena check came they would be able to maintain Canada’s position as the greatest colony of the great. est empire in the world.

Paris, May 1.—The Government has strictly forbidden Major Marchand to com municate with anyone while passing tbrough Suez and Egyp’'. The French residents of Egypt are iadignant over the irjanction,as they had planned an ens thusiastic demonstration of welcome in henour of tlie officer who bad carried the French flagthrough the heart of Afriea. The Government, however, fears indiscre- tions which might complicate affairs with Great Britaiv.
Pope's Jubilee Bull
Lowpox, May 1.—Enterprieing news- papers in Rome have been making etrenu- ous efforts to obtain an advance copy of the Pope’s bull proclaiming ajubilee at the close of thecentury.

Troops at Honk Kong. iiiisines ) Lonpon, May |*—The English Govern. ment hae given orders for an extensive in« crease of the mili ary forces at Hoog Kong, {ci- true that 100 men of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and supported by 100 Sikhs of ne Indian regiment, stationed at Hong Kong, eufficed to rauie in the open a force of 2,000 Chinese troops who endeavoured © resist the British occupation of the Kau-Loon territory oa the mainiaad op- posite to Bong Kong, and which some months ago was ceded by the Chinese Gov~ eromentto England. But the Kau~Loon territery comprises Kau+Loon city, which has an uvenviable reputation as the most wicked and criminal sity of the whole Chinese Empire and of the far Orient. It is densely populaced, and in order to keep the native element uoder firm control and subjection it will be necessary for the Governor of Hong Kong to have at bis dis~ poral a considerably larger military force than at present.
