LONDON. April 2.. 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..

I ble financial consequences of the war of-

'that there Is no alternative given, as the
opposition would under rxlstlnp conditiotis

of the treat hery und espionage going on.
Respectable people were committed on the
evidence of natives alone. They wete
brought up and fined fot harmless observa

These things treated greater irritation and
indignation. The press was deliberately
slopped and four editors had been sent to
Jail. The fruits of this policy would be
bitter, as the memory of these Insults
burned the hearts of the people.
Mr. Merrltnan detailed Instances of the
punishment of the Dutch under military
law. usually on the testimony of natlvti
i.nd employes. He mentioned an Instance
of a "h"oky girl." beinp lined for saying
things npnlnst the town guards. Martial
law and the censorship throughout Cape
Colony prevented the people of England
lrom knowlnp the hardships of the Dutch.
As an Englishman Mr. Merrlman said he
viewed the policy pursued In Cape Colon
with the blankest dismay. If persisted in.
South Africa was lost to the British empire.
The only thing that could save It was
recognition that the people wanted sell

The shareholders expressed dissatisfac

Replying to a question, the chairman said
they had Insured Sir Henry Irvlng's life
while he was In the Vnltcd States, but it
would not pay to do so now. with the
diminished receipts of the theater, for the
premium would be enormous. It was due
to an oversight that Sir Henry's name d:.l

The river was at that time rising only
half an inch an hour.
It is also evident that when the limit is

fall much slower than was anticipated,
even If there shall be no second rise. This
Is attributed to rising waters in the Big

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."
Judgr Baker said the Jurors would b
given an opportucitv at tbr rutset to view
i , he si rne of 'be i pine Thty w t.uld e
dr'ven r 'he i ia r where 'b" u1ch bi y
