The Privilege Given Sugar Refiners Under the British Preferential Rate Is To Be Abyogated. Ottawa, May 13.--A record surplus of $55,000,000 on consolidated rev- enue account, but no hint of any gen- eral tariff revision, and practically no relief to the consumers from tariff taxation, were the features on Hon. W. T. White's budget statement in parkiament yesterday afternoon. The { figures of revenue, and all the ear- marks of prosperity which marked the budget pronouncement, including a new billion-dollar trade mark, and {a net debt reduction of over $23,000,- | 000 we the result of a continuation | of the fiscal policy of the former gov- ernment. On the other side of the aceount there was an increase in cur- rent expenditure of $15,000,000 for the past year, and a forecast of an increase in total expenditure by same $34,000,000 during the present fiscal year. Mr. White did not think that the revenue this year would enable him as had been the case during the past Year. ---- The tariff reductions which were announced were in the main simply i those arrising out of the radification |of the West Indies trade agreement, las already announced. There is {light cut on cement duties, but, | view of the fact that the cement com- bine had a tariff protection, according White, of upwards of sixty pei cent. the reduction now announced of two and a half cents per one hundred pounds will not seriously, interfere with the monopoly wow held. Other tariff changes nlace on the free list typecasting and typesetting machines some articles of hospital equipment miners' rescue applances, and some Canada. Nothing to Help Consumer. There was nothing which hurt the manulacturers and to reduce the cost of Living to consumer. Mr. White did not the opportunity of his surplus of $55, 1000,000 to make any cuts in the tar lif. Instead of that there are to bu largely increased expenditures. The one reduction nothing the free the and tion ditching machinery on the list--has béen repeatedly urged in ons by liberal members, ecently brought directly before the house by A. B. McCoig, who * wventually secured an assurance ol { consideration. | Mr. White said that the country generally was not clamoring for any general revision of the Fielding tar {if. In regard to the trade figures, he reversed Hon. G. E. Foster's pre | vious budget criticisms, and main- | comm was 'rn "3 tained that the balance of trade was | against Canada in regard 'to imports | | und exports, when! analyzed, was' sign of prospetity. He poted without commend | whereas 'Canada's trade with * "had increased last year from $268, | 000,000 to $316,000,000, trade with { the United States had increased from ' | $143,000,000 to $586,000,000, and had i more than doubled in siy years. Sugar Not On Free List. Instead of putting sugar on the iree the trade i iist, as had been advocated by {liberals when the West Indies | agreement was | Mx. White simply abrogated the pri- vilege which Canadian. sugar refiners now have of importing under the Brit { ish preferential rate from 'countries raw sugar up to 20 cent. of their output. Mr: thought this: would benefit the sumers tos the extent of the $600,000 duty now collected oh the sugar thus | imported, but just how it would bene- 'fit the consumers - was not made clear. : | The budget was brought down some- { what unexpectedly on account of the i serious illness of Mr. White's mother. He was anxious to go to her bedside, but wanted to deliver "the budget 'apoech before leaving the capital. As la result Hon, A. K. Maclean. upon ' the suggestion of the finance minister, 'postponed any discussion of the budget statement, and briefly moved the adjournment of the debate until 'the minister's return. foreign per White THE LATE ANDREW McMAHON.

There are a number of streets in the city, where the houses are sadly in need of being re-numbered, The ques- tion has been discussed from time to time, but apparently has been allow- ed to drop, without any action being taken. The iact that the numbers do not the run in regular form has given the] postmen a great deal of trouble, and | in an endeavor to have the matter | attended to the post office authorities have written the Board of Trade, ask- ing that the matter be taken up. The | board will take it up at -its next | meeting. - Fire Horse Improving.
