The budget was iatroduced in the House of Commons yesterday by Sir Wil- lam Harcourt. Sir William stated the fact that the total revenne for the last year was only £507,000 under the esti- mate. The estimated expenditures for the coming year were £95,546,000, which will leave a deficit of £4,502,000. This deficit would not be met either by borrowing or abandoning fixed the provision for the liquidation of the national debt. He proposed to cover the deficit by the appre- priation of £2,359,000 from the sum mort- gaged under the Naval Defence Act, the income tax and an increase of death duties and an increase of a penny in the pound in the income tax, six pence a gallon on spirits and six pence a barrel on beer. Political Corruption in New Brunswick. Sr. Joun, April 17. The Legislature discussed yesterday the Quinn charge respecting traffic in public offices. Mr, Mott moved a resolution re- affirming the committee’s report vindi- cating Mr. Blair and declaring that a ful! investigation had taken place. An amend- ment was proposed to the effect that the evidence justified the ebarges contained in Quinn’s statutory declaration. After de- bate, the amendment was lost, and the motion carried by the usual party vote. Ottawa News. Orrawa, April 17. Yesterday-was private members’ day in the Houre of Commons.
