UREAT ERITAIN'S EXPENSES Estimate for Next Fiscal Year More Than $700,000,000. London, April . 3.—No budget state- ment of recent years had been awaited with so much interest as that just made by Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith. Although it was his second budget that of last year really was only a legacy from the previous ad- ministration, so his present proposals constituted the first real Liberal bud- get in twelve years. The house of commons was thronged and the public galleries were densely crowded. The financial statement issued by the treasury In advance of the chancel- lor's speech informed the house that the exact realized surplus for 1906-7 was $26,955,000, which, in accordance with the law, would be devoted to the reduction of the public debt. Mr. Asquith estimated the expendi- ture for 1907-8 at $708,785,000. The revenue on the existing basis of taxa- tion was estimated to be $720,950,000 The permanent reduction of the na- tional debt for 1906-7 was announced to be $68,570,000. GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO Hagerman Resigns and His Successor Is Named. ‘Washington, April J—Governor Hagerman of New Mexico, against whom charges were preferred, has tendered his resignation and the pres- ident has announced the appoigtment of Captain George Curry, governor of Samar province, Philippine islands, as governor of New Mexico in Governor Hagerman’s place. Governor Hagerman was recently in Washington to answer the charges, which related to the transfer of terr!- torfal lands to a Pennsylvania devel- opment company. While here he had a long interview with the president and Secretary Garfield about the charges, which, he declared, were the result of political intrigue. Captain Curry enlisted in the Rough Rider regiment from Tularosa, N. M. He was a member of Troop H and it was while serving in that organiza- tion that the president made his ac- quaintance.

St. Paul, April 19.—The senate has rgaln passed an anti-pass bill, but it Is not the one passed by the house. The seunate bill will go into effect upon Its passage and will contain only one addition to the list of exemptions from the bill as it was passed by that body the first time. The only addition to the exemptions was that of widows and dependent children of employes of the railroads killed while in its service. There were fifty-six votes tor the bill and none against it. There is considerable speculation as to what the effect will be of the sen- ate’s passing practically a new bill and the prevailing opinion is that the senate’s action is likely to tie up the antl-pass question in a hard knot, which will not be untied before the session closes next week. The opin- lon was expressed that the senate and the house will not be able to agree on the details of the measure and that the result may be that no anti-pass law is enacted at this session. ‘While some of the changes made by the senate are of minor importance, the house is expected to balk at some of them, notably the one that makes the law effective at once. The bill provides that no person, ex- cept those especially exempted, shall firectly or indirectly solicit or recelve for any purpose any free pass or frank or any special privilege withheld from any person, for the traveling accommo- dation or transportation of any person or property or the transmission of any message or commuaication, but this shall not apply to any freight rates fixed by law or the railroad and ware- house commission. List of Exempted Persons. Those to whom the provisions of the act will not apply are bona fide offi- cers, attorneys, surgeons and employes of railroad companies and members of their immediate familles, widows and dependent children of employes killed In the service of the company and duly elected representatives of railroad la- bor organizations, bona fide represen- tatives of religious and eleemosynary and charitable organizations, together with such indigent, helpless or home- less persons as may be in charge of such charitable organizations; the necessary caretakers of live stock, vegetables or fruits while traveling with the same and returning home; victims of wrecks, accidents, general epidemics, pestilence or other calami- tous visitations, and persons engaged In the rellef of such vietims, and veterans of the Clvil war, bona fide employes on sleeping cars, express cars and mall cars, United States mail agents and newsboys on trains. The capitol approach bill authoriz- ing St. Paul to issue bonds not to e: ceed $1,000,000 for the purpose of ac- quiring the ground and improving a suitable approach to the new capitol was passed in the senate. The bill has passed the house. Under this bill the capitol approach proposition is made purely a St. Paui offair and all improvements made un- der it will be done at the expense of the city. Primary Bills Killed. The present system of nominating candidates for state offices in party conventions and of chosing delegates to those conventions by haphazard caucuses will be continued in Minne- sota for another two years at least. The house killed both the Saugstad bill extending the primary system to state officers and the Dunn bill for the election of delegates to county conventions by a primary election system. Although the house mem- bers had previously voted by an over- whelming majority that they were in favor of extending the primary system to the state officers, they were unable to agree upon a plan that would suit the majority. The bill introduced by N. J. Holm- berg of Renville for the encourage- ment of the consolidation of rural schools was passed in the house under suspension of the rules. The bill originally appropriated $50,000 to be given the first fifty rural schools con- solidated under the bill. The appro- priations committee reported the bill with the appropriation left out and some appropriation to be inserted in the omnibus bill. According to the bill not more than one school in any county can receive the aid. The house passed the senate tax commission bill, the bill inroduced by the senate tax committee as a sub- stitute for the bill by G. P. Wilson of Minneapolis. The house amended the bill so as to continue the state board of equalization with the concurrent powers with the tax commission and in addition adopted an amendment giving the board of equalization the power of review over the acts of the commission as far as they relate to the valuation of property. The bill in its present form provides a commis- sfon of three members at a salary of $4,000, to be appointad by the gov- ernor for six-year terms. They are given $2,400 for a secretary and $6,000 for the employment of experts and clerks. HILL SEEKS INFORMATION Great Northern Magnate at the Na- tional Capital. ‘Washington, April . 4—More inter- est than: usual is manifested by the presence in Washington of James J.

FIGHT FOR $75,000,000. Relatives of James Henry Smith Seek Share of Estate. New York, April 20.—The immense | fortune, estlmated at $75,000,000, left by James Henry Smith when he died suddenly in Japan a few weeks ago| while on a wedding tour around thej world, may cause a hard legal contest | for its possession.

FINAL SETTLEMENT AT HAND Orders for the Withdrawal of All Nic- araguan Troops From Honduras Is the First Result of the Negotiations Now Under Way. Washington, April 20.—A tentative agreement for peace, according to ad- vices recelved, has been arranged be- tween Nicaragua and Salvador which probably will end the Central Amer- ican war. Orders have been issued for the withdrawal of all Nicaraguan troops from Honduras and the peace negotiations are proceeding with every prospect of successful fruition within a brief time. Minister Corea of Nicaragua had a conference with Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, at wkich he commmni- cated to him cablegrams which he had recelved from his government indicat- ing that the conference between the ministers of foreign affairs now being held on Tigre island has proceeded far enough to show that several clauses of the peace agreement have been decided upon. The ministers, according to Minister Corea’s advices, are communicating with their respec- tive governments as to the terms of the agreement. As he left the state department Min- Ister Corea said that it was not un- likely he might receive word in a few hours that the peace agreement had been concluded finally.
