The morning papers give Sir Michael Hicks-Beach but faint pralie. The conservative organs remark that the budget has been receive.! with suspic ious cordiality by the leaders of the opposition. The Times says: ' Sir Michael Hlcks-Btach has missed a great opportunity which may never present Itself again. In the present state of the public mind he might have carried the nation with him In a con servative reform of the basis of our fiscal system. It is a trivial budget that any school boy might have drawn up. Nothing has been done to widen the basis of taxation or to create a new reserve of contributory power." ine standard, which comments In the same strain, calls the budget "tim id." It finds significance in the point ed reminder of the chancellor of the exchequer that even a greater outlay may be necessary within the year. The Daily News and the Daily Chronicle warmly praise the budget, expressing the opinion that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has faced the situation with boldness and courage. hose vote Is already threatened, or of the Kaffir laborer, who seems doome to virtual slavery.

Now Reported as Rapidly Subsiding by United States Officers. WASHINGTON. March . The sur geon general of the marine hospital f-erviee has received a report dated February 20, from Surgeon General Carmichael, at Honolulu, summing up the plague situation there and at Ka luhui and at Hilo. In Honolulu, he says, up t.i Febru ary 18. the situation looked promis ing. On that date three new cases. all fatal, were report id. At Kaluhui the Inhabitants of Chinatown, where the disease was discovered, had been move! to a detention camp, China town destroyed by fire and the dead burned. No cases had developed since February 10 and the situation was well In hand. At Hilo, the doctor found only one case of plague reported, the wife of a Portuguese merchant. She was taken ill on January 25 and died on Janu ary 28. No other cases had been re ported in Hilo so far as was then known. There have been so few cases late ly, the doctor adds, that the anti plague serum has not had a fair trial. GERMAN TRADE HOSTILITY. It Is Being Made a Matter of Investi gation by This Government. .jsw yukk. Mar. 6. A special to the Herald from Washington says: inougn tne administration cannot protest against injurious legislation pending In the German legislature. It has developed that It has been making a quiet Investigation to ascertain the extent of the adulteration of German importations into the United States, lnls investigation has extended to the Imports of other European gov ernments, which Impose restrictions on American goods. In the case of G-rmany, the informa to be obtained will be of value In de termining the course this government shall adopt should the meat Inspection bill, reported by the reichstag conv mittee, be enacted Into law.

Mur. 6.-A H-clal the Meruld from Washington nays: Provision will be made in this year nnvul appropriation bill for a construc tion program fully e uml to tbe ex pectation of the friends of the sorvl.-e. The bill will probably be reported by th- house -onmilttee on naval affair before the end of the present week. It Is still subject to change, but as It stands tonight. It provides for two larse Imttleshlps, three armored cruls era of IS.mn) tons displacement, and four gunboats of nine hundred tons displacement. The comnitttee has not yet fixed the size of the battleships but they will probably be H.500 or r,0H) tonu. The armored cruisers are to have hli?h speed and large coal capacity with the heaviest armor and armament possl ble to be carried on vessels of their type. The three protected cruisers are to be Improved Olymplas. The gun boats art- to be designed with special reference to their use among the Philippines. In deciding to provide for armored cruisers and protected cruisers mem bers of the committee were largely In fluenced by the recommendations of Admiral Dewey, who declared armored cruiser superior to battleships In a great many respects, their Inferiority in armor and armament being more than compensated for, In his opinion, by their greater radius of action and their speed and maneuvering qualities. He said he would be willing to light such an armored cruiser as he rec onimendd against any battleship Admiral Dewey's experience with the Olympla and the other protected cruls ers In his squadron -at the battle of Manila led him to recommend the con structlon of similar vessels as the Olympla but with larger displacement so as tn admit of their carrying heav ler batteries and more protection for their guns. No flnal decision has yet been ar rived at as to the armor for the new easels and for those authorized in for mer bills, but It has practically been deid-?d by the committee to provide that they shall have the best armor obtainable and to Increase the limit of cost to 1545 per ton. Last year's bill xed the limit at $400 and the secretary of the navy has been unable to con tract for Krupp armor at that price. The Increased limit will enable him to secure this armor. As the bill stands. It carries appro priations aggregating about 63,0O,000, This limit may be increased if the com mittee yields to pressure being exerted from cities in which navy yards are located to provide that some of the ships shall be built In government yards. If this Is decided upon It will be necessary to very largely Increase the appropriations for navy yards so as to provide for new shops and nia chlnery plants. It is not probable that this will be done. of th-j island which has been convert ed by famine Into a new llritlsh India sum equivalent to the custom house duties paid by the merchants of Puerto lllca on Its Introduction Into the I'nlted States. It Is said that half a loaf Is better than no bread, but we are of the opinion yiat this measure Is w-irst than nothing. Instead of con-' vert'ng the Inhabitants of the Island Int mendicants, they ought to be left free to develop their natural resources and sell their products, to which end importations, now in a state of stag nation, should be facilitate,! by means of free trade.
