Adoption of British Budget Re

SUMMARY OF PEACE PROPOSALS.
iBoers Accept British Lord Commis
sioner , With a Burgher Executive.
' England's Reserves Veto Right No
War Tax Shall Be Levied on Boers.
London , April 15. Not for many
ycnrs 1ms Great Britain's fiscal pro-
, Km in been awaited with such Interest
as that which attached to this year's
announcement and there Is no doubt
that all the proposals contained In the
budget given out yesterday by Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach , the chancellor
of the exchequer , will bo adopted. It
Is equally certain , however , that none
of the proposals will meet with the
unanimous approval of either side of
the house. Moro Important , perhaps ,
than the curious forms of the new
taxation Is the statement , made by
the chancellor of the exchequer , that
the government had acceded to the
Boer demand concerning the restocking
ing of farms.
The Associated Press learned upon
excellent authority that the principal
provision of the budget , namely , the
treasury loan of 32,000,000 , has a se
rious bearing upon the peace question.
There appears to bo a very strong be
lief in the cabinet that owing to ex
pected early termination of the
of the budget gets to the committee
stage , the peace negotiations will have
Teached a stage that Sir Michael
IlicUs-Bcach will bo enabled to an
nounce a decrease of the loan.
The failure to explain this Import
ant point is taken In the house of
commons to indicate that the govern
ment has strong hopes of a speedy
issue of the negotiations now progress
ing at Pretoria between the Boer lead-
ers.
V ers.Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Is seldom
dramatic , but when he referred to the
government's intention to restock the
Boer as well as the colonial farms , his
voice rose to an eloquent pitch. His
gesture as he spoke in praise of the
valor of the Boers and expressed his
hopes for subsequent friendship be
tween Briton and Boer took the house
with him , and the cheers , especially
from the opposition , prevented the
speaker from continuing his speech for
some moments. During this pause
the chancellor of the exchequer turned
towards Mr. Chamberlain , the colonial
eecretary , who sat pale and motion
less , plainly none too pleased at this
official recantation of his "uncondi
tional surrender" formula.
After mentioning that he did not
propose to interfere with beer , wine ,
tea and sugar , the chancellor said he
must select for indirect taxation an
article practically in universal con
sumption. He , therefore , proposed an
import duty of 3 pence per hundred
weight on all grain , with a correlative
Vluty of 5 pence per hundred weight on
flour and meal. The total yield of this
duty was estimated nt 2,050,000.
In the house of commons the general
'debate on the budget followed party
lines. The house divided on the corn
and flour duties resolution , which was
adopted , 254 to. 153.
The conservative papers highly ap
prove the corn duties and deny that
they constitute an Infringement of
the traditional free trade policy. The
liberal papers condemn the corn duties
vigorously.
ALLEGED PEACE TERMS.
Summary of Pending Proposals ot
Boers and British.
The Hague , April 15. From those
close in touch with the Boer leaders
hero it appears that the latest secret
dispatches from South Africa outline
the peace proposals now under discus
sion at Pretoria. The Boers accept
.a British lord commissioner with a
Boer executive , both to be resident at
Pretoria. The country to be divided
into districts , with British district offl-
cers and a Boer committee chosen by
polling by the burghers. The veto
right to be reserved to the British
.government. Johannesburg to bo retro-
ceded to the British with complete
civil organization. A war indemnity
of at least 10.000,000 , to be distrib
uted by mixed committees. Disarma
ment to occur when the first batch of
Boer prisoners is sent back to South
'Africa. No war tax to be levied.
Both languages to bo recognized In the
schools and courts and In official docu
ments. The expense of the garrisons
in South Africa to bo borne by Great
Brltian. The present Boer leaders to
be retained In office so far as possible.
i Severe Battle Reported.
London , April 15. News of severe
fighting In the Transvaal at the end of
last week has been sent by Lord Kitch
ener , who reports that about 200 Boers
were killed , wounded or captured.

ties. The British also captured three

CULMINATES IN A STRIKE.
General Labor Disturbance Is Result
of Socialist Riots In Brussels.
Brussels , April 15.- The day passed
hero In perfect tranquillity. Several
meetings , were held In the suburbs
during the evening. M. Vadorvoldo
and other socialist loaders ntado violent
lent speeches , but order wn main
tained. This fact was mainly duo to
the absence of the police , especially
the gendarmerie , whoso excess of zeal
has been the chief cause of collisions
during the past few days.
The civic guard formed In cordons
around the Malson du Pcuple and their
sensible attitude kept the crowd In
good humor. Dispatches received
hero from the mining and Industrial
regions Indicate the existence of a
serious situation with regard to the
strike. This has oven extended to the
textile workers at Ghent. Except from
Huey , no reports of grave disturb
ances have been received. At Huey
the striking quarrymcn had an en
counter with the gendarmes , in which
several men on both sides were In
jured. One gendarme was fatally
wounded and another escaped by
swimming the river.
The socialists announced that they
would Interpellate the government today -
day on the brutality of the police of
Brussels. A feeling prevails here that
the government may make a decisive
declaration on the subject of revision.
No credence is given here to the re
port of the existence of a plot against
King Leopold at Biarritz. His majes
ty returned from Blarrllz to Brussels
because his presence was needed there
and because public opinion , In view
of the political situation on the re
sumption of parliament today , expect
ed him to return.
