There has been a remarkable increase in the receipts from the death dutles, totaling £17,471,000, of which £2,271,00 was from the estates of millionalres, including £600,000 from the estate of one man, a foreigner, who lived on 15 shillings a day in a West End London club. The person, he continued, however unwillingly, had contributed to the exchequer more than the cost of an ironclad. The foreigner referred to is the late George Smith, the pioneer banker of Chicago, who died on October 7, 189, in his rooms at the Reform Club, London. Explaining the proposed loan, Bir Michael Hicks-Beach said he belleved it would be a mistake to try to raise it by a new issue of consols, as it would create a permanent debt which the nation could not pay off at par until 1923. He thought it would be better that part of the £35,- 000,000 be reserved, say an amount not exceeding £5,000,000, for a further issue of treasury bills. The rest he propofed to raise by bonds or stocks. He had reason to believe it was possible to place such an issue on very reasonable terms, and he hoped to do so In a way not to insure profit for a few great and wealthy per- sons, but to bring the whole public into the war loan and enable them to come to the assistance of the country. Timothy Healy, Irish Nationalist, pro- tested against Ireland having to pay any- thing toward the war expenses, asserting that not a penny had been expended in Ireland. The tax on whisky, he further asserted, was an attempt to bleed Ireland. ““lset the diamond stockers,” continued Mr. Healy, “those who are making money out of the war, pay the cost.” Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal, complimented the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer on the soundness of his financial principles, but sald the country would like to know how the Government intended to insure that the Transvaal would ultimate- Iy pay a large part of the cost of the war. He added: “It is said we are fighting for liberty and freedom, so that theg there is a prospect of millionaires like Mr. Belt and Mr. Rhodes having the taxation of the Transvaal at thelr disposal. Of course, the Government could not think of oppos- ing by a centralized taxation from Eng- land, and while England is being taxed the war it would be interesting to v how the Government Intends to ze on the vague, misty expectation of the gentlemen who will be putting mil- lions into their pockets as a result of the war. How are these men to be made to pay?” John Redmond, the Nationalist leader, said the Irish members regarded the war as immoral and were therefore bound to protest against the proposals of the Gov- ernment. He characterized the proposals as “‘an iniquitous budget, designed to up- hold an iniquitous war.” Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, In closing the debate, thanked the House for the recep- tion given to the proposals and said the Government hoped for an early conclu- sion of the war. After further argument adopted the budget proposals.

MARYSVILLE, March 6.—Charles Hap- good, Marysville's genial and accommo- dating Postmaster, is no more. At 3 o'clock this morning, after an illness of exactly one week, he passed away at his home on E street, succumbing to an at- tack of malarial fever, which was attend- ed by exhaustion incident to old age. He lacked one month and a few days of reaching the allotted three score years and ten, belng aged 69 years 10 months and 15 days when the end came. | A severe chill which visited him a week | ago last night was the first symptom of | bis illness. This was followed by high | fever and spells of what is known to the | physician as “interrupted heart.” Though quite sprightly in his advanced years his age was against him, but doctor, relatives and friends were hopeful until Sunday, when there was a decided change for the werse. Deceased was born in Warren, Trum- bull County, Ohlo, May 22, 1830. He re- ceived an academic education in his na- tive city and early in life entered a store as clerk in the dry goods department. On account of {1l health he came to California in 1856, by way of the isthmus of Panama. In the following year he came to Marys- ville and obtained employment in a dry goods store, succeeding his employers in a few years under a partnership known as Walsh, Hapgood & Allen. In 1860 he was married to Emma Wilson of this city. Two years later, becoming interested in silver mines in Durango, Mexico, he went to that country and re- mained “there ‘for fourteen years, during which time he was quite successful in mining.

Seventy in all were found and the rall- road was directed to hold every such car until the tax, amounting t6 about $10 on each car, is paid. Meantime Mr. Jame- son has been telegraphing to all parts of the country, notifying the o of cars what he had done and demanding the tax. 8o far he has had but one guaran- tee.
