A Frenchman who registered at the Grand
Pacific hotel as Prof. Henri Belmont of Purls
was nearly uhokoJ to dpath In his room by ft
python seven foot long shortly after mid
night. The professor , who has been em
ployed In u dlmo museum in San Francisco ,
was on his way to New York and had wltn
htm a largo blue box with holes In the lid ,
from which came a peculiar odor. During
the evening the professor drank heavily , and
while under the influence of liquor took n
number of men to his room aud performed
several tricks with a blacksnake about two
feet long , which was also confined In the box.
After taking several moro drinks the pro
fessor went to bed. An hour later shouts for
help were heard In his room nnd ono of the
guests unrated open the door. Lying on the
bed , his face black from suffocation and his
eyes bulging from his head , lay the snake
charmer. Around the limbs aud body was
tightly celled the python , Its diamond-shaped
head waving to and fro in anger. The
smaller snakes had disappeared under the
bed , where they were twisting and squirm
ing In a heap.
With great effort the steel-Hko cells were
wrenched loose and the professor , with a deft
movement , flung the serpent Into the box and
quickly closed the lid. Tbo smaller snakes
were easily captured. The professor had
left the box open while drunk and the big
sorponl had crawled Into the bed In search of
warmth. Belmont probably rolled on it and
this excited Its anger.

ngcnulty Is nt work to establish a system of
latlonal registration which will make ns
icarly Impossible as may bo any future
[ ucstlon of citizenship , such as has arisen in
connection with the Italian Incident nt Now
Jrlcuna. Solicitor General Taft was asked
his afternoon If It would bo practicable to
keep a register of the persons naturalized In
this country nt tno department of justice so
that the federal government , congress , the
courts or any private cltl/cn could without
lelny or expense determine the question of
! ltizenshlp of any 0110 claiming to bo or not
mvo been naturalized.
"Yes , " said the solicitor general , "such a
.hlng Is not only practicable , but a good sug
gestion , and I thlnlc It should bo suggested to
: ongress. It could bo accomplished bv mak-
ng It compulsory for ofllcors who administer
laturallzatlon papers to forward r. synopsis
or memorandum of the personal statement of
.ho citizen nuUirnllrcd to this department.
Wo could issue the ofllcors a uniform card of
small size and with brief blanks to bo filled
nnd these could bo filed hero In a compact
nnd permanent way so that imy ono at a
moment's notice could ascertain whcthornny
person had or had not been naturalized , and
if so when , where nnd something as to
nationality , birth , Tigo and so forth. It could
io kept In form similar to the military records
bolng kept on cards at the war
department by Colonel Alnsworth.
It would bo n great convenience ,
Imt it would bo necessary to rnuko it very
obligatory upon court ofllecrs to forward the
names of nil who may bo naturalized In every
[ ) lace hereafter , together with other Informa
tion necessary , as court officers are negligent ,
1 have fouad. It could bo made obligatory
.ipon these ofllcors to forward the statement
in every Instance and thcfi make It n neces
sary part of the naturalization. Then the
government would have nt Its fingers' ends ,
so to speak , the information to determlno
upon a moment's notice and beyond doubt
Lho question of citizenship in all cases. It is
important for very many reasons. "

LONDOV , April 23. [ New Vork Herald
IJnblo Special to Tin : Bii.J : : Goschen In-
reduced his budget this afternoon in a
speech universally pronounced to bo the
most illffuso nnd tedious over heard on n
similar occasion. The facts to bo stated , ,
vcro unusually simple and brief , yet It took
.lOschon neatly throe hours to lay thorn bo-
ere the houso. The sulutinco of the
Immelat statement U that nearly 100,500,000
vlll bo required to moot this year's oxpcndl-
uros , n great incroiso ever last year which
Goschon attempted to justify. Ho was
obliged to admit that consuls are declining
n popularity , which ho regretted ns showing
n certain decay of patriotism. Ho took no
account of the decline In Interest which has
compelled thousands of persons to seek other
nvestmonts. Ho suggested vaguely that the
colonies ought to contribute moro to national
ornaments , but Judiciously refrained from
iroposlng any schema with that end In view.
Us bare suggestions were received with
nanifest coldness by the houso. After much
jeatlng of air ho announced th.it ho would
mvo an estimated surplus of nearly two
millions , nil of which would bo absorbed by
establishing a scheme of free education , to
come Into operation September 1 next.
The details nro not yet forthcoming , but
ho plan will cause great disappointment to
ncomo taxpayers who have looked for some
relief from their burdens. The budget alms
at popularity but , though it may please the
mrcnts of a certain class , It will not satisfy
ho bulk of the people. Conservatives who
opposed free education In ISS3 will bo once
moro obliged to swallow their pledges , nnd
altogether It is likely that the difficulties of
ho ministry will bo considerably increased
> y tholr undertaking to carry this subject
through the present session.
In Hi Commons.
Los'pox , April 23 The budget was sub
mitted to the commons this afternoon by
joschon , chancellor of the exchequer Ho
sain there was un excess of 1,170,000 ever
the surplus which ho suggested In tbOO. Ho
added , however , that there was no certainty
that the progressive Increase would bo main
tained , as the needs of Ireland had Increased
the expenditure by 200,000. No less than
i'900,000 , of the surplus arose from the Inter
nal revenue duty on alcoholic spirits. Thoto
had been an increase in the consumption
during the year of 1 ,000,000 , gallons of homemade
made spirits. Tobacco had given an Increase
of 450,000 and beer of 3T5-
300. Referring to the reduction
b ! tbo national debt Goschcn said that
taking Into consideration the diminished lia
bilities on terminable annuities Uia reduction
during the year was * ( ,51 ,000 , making the
total reduction over 30,000,000 during the
tlmo the present administration has boon In
oflleo. [ Chcors.J Alluding to the duties on
alcohol , Goschcn repudiated the Idea that the
government was pledged to carry out the
schema of the purchase of public house li
censes. If It raised the duties Instead of
buying the licenses the money would bo as
signed to an excellent purpose that of tech
nical education. In regard to the coming
year , Goschcn estimated that the revenue
would amount to 00,480,000 and expendi
tures 8 ,440,000. The expenditures had
been augmented by Irish relief works , the
census and dockyard building. Considering
the increased costs of armament nnd
the heavy burden on the homo
taxpayer , ho hold that a call
ought to bo made upon the
colonies for further conti'imitions to the fund
for Imperial dufcnso. Ho pioposed to apply
most of the year's surplus to free education
( chcorsj , thus redeeming the pledges of the
government , The tlmo for the production of
the education bill would depend upon the
progress of the land bill. Goschcn added
that the inctcaso fromjalcohol indicated ttmt
the masses were earning better wages. The
slcns were apparent , ho said , that the pros
perity of the country was approaching the
zenith , but ho was not apprehensive.
Liberal leaders withhold criticism on the
free education project. For the first time In
manv years there has been no change In
taxation , jot the budget Is fairly well 10-
celvcd.

BOSTON , Mass. , April 23 The Itorald has
a long interview with President-elect Clark-
son of thq republican league. Clarkson says
In part : "Tho failure of young men to par
ticipate In politics Is the weakness of the
ropubllcan party In Now England. I bnllovo
the New England democracy has outgener
aled Its ropubllcan opponents In that respect.
They have ns leaders the sons of the founders
of republicanism. Thu republican party
must utilize their voung men.
"The labor question will figure In the next
campaign , and ought to. Wealth should bo
moro evenly distributed. "
"Do you interpret tbo Cincinnati conven
tion ns Invorlng Blalno Instead of Harrison ? "
"I was not nt the convention , so I cannot
assume to-udgo ] of Its sentiments , " was the
rejoinder.
"It Is said you nro personally out for Blalno
ns against the ronomlnntion of President
Harrison , " suggested the reporter ,
"I have no personal choice for president , "
replied Clarkson. "Time will Indicate the
man. It the silver question Is bottled the
situation will bo greatly cleared. The scat
of republican power , the west , will never
consent to see the treasury of the country
'
dwarfed to a gold basis. The west will no't
consent to any candidate or platform that
will not represent the double standard Idea ,
and the greater part will not consent to a
platform that will not represent silver as
money by the coinage of the American pro
duct.Vith such n position on money and
with a position for revision of the banking
laws so as to make our banking advantages
favorable to agricultural communities , cities
mid towns , nnd with a purpose to provide
good money and enough of It , the ropubllcan
party will hold the west us solid lortno partv
as It was in 1SSS , while the MeKinloy bill
will carry Now York and tbo doubtftl slates.
The next ropubllcan candidate for president
must be a man broad enough to cover this
broad land , and nblo to administer Justice on
all differing Interests with true regard to all
national Interests. President Harrison has
made a faithful executive in every public
.sense , and is lacking only In personal popu
larity , which gives a man the power of elec
tricity in politics. Ho has demonstrated his
qualities fully , and his pure Intellectual
ability Is not second to any American
living today , not oven to his phenomenal
secretary of state. Whoever is the republi
can candidate ho must bo a man who can
maintain the solidity of the party in the
great agricultural region west of thoMtssIss-
ippl. The candldatemust , not only bo r.ear to
1 10 peoplo.but must not bo far from the farms ,
AlPpolttlcal parties will go moro closely to
the tarnu hereafter than tnoy have In'tho
past fifty years. Tha farmers are going to
assert tliomselvcs In public affairs and for the
good of the raeo. "
Clarkson said ho believed Cleveland would
bo the next doirociatic candidate. If his
personal views on the silver question don't
qulto suit tha south nnd west ho will make
them suit. Ho Iccls that the gold pcoplo will
trust him anyway , nnd as the western and
southern democracy bullovo In him as a
man of destiny ho can successfully hypno
tize them on the silver question , nnd I think
ho is doing it. "To win in Ib'JJ ' , " said Clark-
son , "wo must bring the republican circula
tion to moot that of the democratic party in
Its programme to circulate tens of millions of
arguments directly to the houses of the
voters. " _

It contained much that Cleveland said , but
also much that ho did not say. "
Mr. Stephens snld the statement that ho
