The date of Lord Salisbury's return to London from the Rlvlcrta Is Mill problematical and the rumors of cabinet trouble over the budget are assuming greater consistency In the lobbies of Parliament. According to the Dally Mall, the framing of the budget re vealed considerable dissension. Mr. Cham berlain, the colonial secretary, wanted tht whole cost of the war raised on the crealt of i Ik South African colonies and had schemes of his own for providing the in terest on the loan and an Increase of nor mal expenditure. To these schemes, however, with the ex ception of the coal duty, Str Michael Hlck' Heaeh turned a deaf etr. and, on being pressed, he offered to resign. Mr. Chamber lain, according to the Dally Mail, favore'l the resignation, but Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour strongly opposed It. Now u is sRid that, although at fln,t Sir Michael Hicks-Beach did not advocate a coal tax, he now declines to drop It. thinking his reputation would suffer now that he Is committed to it. He has, how ever, agreed to give careful consideration to the alternative proposal to substitute an ad valorem duty on a drkIs of S pence or ! pence on Inferior coal, rising to 18 pence on the best Welsh coil. While this would mollif the nothern col liery owners It would Intensify the oppo sition from Wales, uud the Lollef preval'i that the upshot will be either the abandon ment of the tax altogether or the resigna tion of the ministry. Mr Chamberlain is rredlted with urgini the latter course, with the double objeit of petting rid of Sir Michael Hlrks-Beacl.. j whose plHlti sppfiklnp repardinp the deplor.i I ble financial consequences of the war of- fended him. and of proving to the country 'that there Is no alternative given, as the opposition would under rxlstlnp conditiotis decline the task of forming a cabinet.

JURORS VISIT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME lestlmonr Appiu entlj- LradlnK I p to nn identification of Callahan bj Voire and Peculiarities of Speech. Edward A. Cudahy, sr.. and Edward A. Cudahy. Jr . father and son, testified at the trial of James Callahan yesterday. The story of the kidnaping and tho subsrquont payment of the J2r..tK)0 ransom, as relatrd by Mr Cudah). sr., was a repetition of the rrports of the affair published at the time In the news columns of The Bit. The trs tlmony of the boy. giving tho details of his abduction and Imprisonment, also tallied with the reports heretofore published In this newspaper. In no detail did the evi dence gnen by Mr. Cudahy and his sou differ with the authentic and exclusive stories of the crime printed In The Ber. Yesterday forenoon was taken up with the opening statements of counsel and a visit by the Jury to the scene of the crime, and In tiio afternoon the taking of testimony began. Iddlr (urin'ij- (ior on Mnnd. Young Cudahy was placed on the v.ltnrss stand at 4 o'clock and when court ad journed at 5:30 o'rlock his evidence had not reached that point where he Is expected to positively Identify Callahan as one of the kidnapers. It Is apparent that tho prosecution Is leading up to an Identifica tion, for the boy was made to relate In de tail the numerous conversations he had with his guard during thr twrnty. eight hours he was confined In the Melrose Hill house. It is the Intention, evidently, to Fbow that young Cudahy had becomo suR' clently familiar with the voice atid the pe culiarities In speech of bib cuptor and guard to recognize tho same when heut J by him at tone future time. As previously published, after Callahan was arrested 'hn Cuduhy boy was given an opportunity to hear a conversation between him nnd Chief Donahue in the lattcr's office, after which he declared that Callahan's voice and pe culiarities of speech were the same as those of his former guard. It Is therefore pre dicted that the prosecution will today ask young Cudahy to identify Callahan by his voice and articulation. Dckerllira Him Ctnrd. So far as given tho boy's testltnonr de scribes his captor and guard as a dark man with a stubby black mustache and blurl: ' hair. This description may be fitted to Cal lahan, although it is extremely meager and Callahan b mustache at this time. Is long enough to support a small curl at each end. When the trial was resumed yesterday morning the court room was crowded with spectators, public Interest having been re vived by the announcement that the Jury had been completed and the relation of the story of the kidnaping would begin. Edward A. Cudahy and the son for whoso release be paid the J25.000 ransom were In court, occu pying seats directly behind those of County Attorney Shields und General Cow In. Calla han appeared as bright and cheerful ab he wab the day before und displayed keen In terest In all the proceedings. As soon as court opened the county at torney briefly stated his case to the Jury. He said be expected to prove by the evi dence of young Cudahy and the corrobora tive evidence of a number of other wit nesses that Callahan was one of the prin cipals in the commission of the great crime. He expected to show that Callahan was one of the men who picked Eddie Oud nhy up on the street near the Wattles rcbl dentc on the night of December 18 and car ried him away tn a buggy to the Melrose hill prison bouse. Wlinl thr State Will f-how. "Toe state," said Mr. Shields, "will offer the evidence of the Cudahy boy and he will tell you bow a man approached him on the street that night, drew a revolver on him und pretended to place him under arrest. The boy got a good look at this man's fuco and 1 think he will tell you that it was the face of Callahan." Mr. Shields told the story of the kld- naplng as It bub been related In The Bee, and added that evidence would be pro duced to bhow that Cullahaa Is the man who stood guard over young Cudaby at the Melrose hill house. "During the time the boy was held at that house be and hla guard were In conversation no lesB than twenty times," said the county attorney, "and although the boy was blindfolded he will be able to Identify the voice of Calla han as that of bis guard." Mr. Mailer undertook to state thr defenss to the jury, but he drifted Into an argu ment. "This complaint charges that James Cal lahan robbed Edward A. Cudahy of J25,0M; that he put him in fear and forclbl took the mor.rj from his person," said Mr. Hal ler. "Now, in order to huve done such u. thing It would huve been necebsary for Cal lahan to have been at the place on tho Center street road where It is bald imv money was taken from Mr. Cudahy. The county attorney has Just told you that ie expects to prove that Callahan remained it the house as the boy's guard while tr. money was cxtortnd from his father. No.v, how would It havo been possible for Calla han to have been at the house on Grovcr street guarding the boy and out on the Cen ter street road, five miles away, holding up the father at the same time? I think ttia court will " C'bjrrtion it Kntrrrd. "I object, your honor." thouttd Mr. Shields "to the attorney for the clrfeuse making an argument to the Jury ut this time." Judge Baker directed Mr. Hallcr to Elate only what bo exported to show to refuta the case atated by the prosecution. "Wo expect to show," said the lawyer, "that it wuuld have been Impossible for Callahan to have participated In thli crime as stated by the county attorney. We will produce evidence to show that Callahan wa. at other placeb at the time the statu ilalms he was at the alleged prison hounn. We will show that this it merely a casn l of mistaken Identity."
