Ottawa, June 8,—To the many triumphs achieved by the Laurie Government was adders one more yes- terday in the anneuneetnent of an adjusted tariff suited to the thong-, ing neons of the (lanadiun: people The budget speech by Teton. W. S. Pfielding ryes q record of remarkable business administration and e, re- velation of resourceful statesman- ship. The story of the condition of Canada's bountiful treasury was a surprise only in the degree of af- iluonco to which it has reached. with • an estimated surplus of $16,500,000, and a reduction in the national debt of $7,500,000 for Alm year. It was shown that the net debt of the coun- try has been decreased by $1,000,• 000 in the eight years of Liberal rule, notwithstanding the many, large undertuniugs and large capital ex- penditures. The other evidences of prosperity were equally conclusive. Mr. Fielding justifier) the 'Govern- ment's policy of a moderate tariff, and proceeded in a most business -like way to announce some changes which were deemed necessary for pre- . pent needs. Tarlir Revision Promised. A commission will be appointed to take evidence, and the tariff will be revised along the lines of a mini- mum and maximum tariff, to suit our own tastes and iteijuirements in dealing with different nations. This announcement was received with ringing cheers front the Government benches. The enthusiasm increased as the Finance Minister revealed changes which are designed to re- move grievances respecting certain well-known "sore spots" in the tariff schedule, To Prevent "Du,np,te tae The greatest enthusiasm was excited over the proposed special duty to prevent the "dumping" of goods int Canada at slaughter prices. it is designed to end this by adding an amount equal, to the dil]•erence be- tween the invoiced price and the real value up to 50 per cent, of the duty in general lines, and 15 per cent. in the iron' anti steel items. As tho Government's plan was revealed, the astonishment of the OppOSItion was plainly apparent, while the joy of the Liberals rose correspondingIy. The Oppo'dtlost (:rdtio. The critic selected by the Opposi- tion to reply to Mr. Fielding was Mr. A. C. Boll, one of the front bombers of the Opposition, bqt even so experienced a Parliamentarian as 1fr. Bell had to spar for wind, and -when the Finance Minister sat down at 5.40 asked that the House rise at that hoar for dinnter, thus giving hirn respite to 8 o'clock. Last even- ing he criticized the Liberals for deserting their free trade policy, and contended that the prosperity of the country was due to Providence and the large trade figures to inflated prices. Liberals Well Sat101lod. r Sir Richard Cartwright will reply to -day and a great speech is expect- ed from the veteran Knight. The announcements of the budget have cuscd the utmost satisfaction • in the ratilte of the Liberals, who recognize that .the skillful provisions of the amended schedule have met the pressing objections, and that tho uninterrupted prosperity which Can- uda has enjoyed for the past seven years will go on under the most favorable circumstances so fas as ',can be settled by the tariff condi- tions. One of the interesting Mei- cents of the afternoon was the pre- sence on the floor of the House of :Herr Bopp, Gorman Consul in Can- ada, who was compelled to listen to 'the story of the success of the sur - •tax on German goods, which is working beneficially to Canada and ;other British colonies. • TiiE TARIFF RESOLUTION.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.. MMWMWoorkl • Opposition Against Sending De, Wllkid Again to India, But the "Vote Bas Not Been Iteaohed Yet, St. John, N,I3„ June 8.—At the general assembly session yesterday, morning the resolutions moved Mon- day committing the'sassetubly to an expression of opinion in favor of church union were carried unanimous- ly. Dr. Sedgewick, Dr. Somerville, Dr. Murray, I)r. Bryce and Rev. 3.. A. Macdonald were named to appoint a committee to confer with the Me thodists and the Congregationalists concerning the practicability of un- ion. Tho case of Dr. Wilkie, whose ina- bility to work in harmony with oth- er missionaries in Central India, has caused trouble in the church for some time, came up for a long and sharp discussion. The foreign mission board, while acquitting Dr. Wilkideett the charges of being addicted te. noxious drugs, believed that he could not with advantage to the mission, be aIIowed to resume Itis work there, and recommended that he be removed from the principalship of Indore College, and that an effort be made to secure hien a suitable mission field somewhere else. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the general assembly in Grand Hall, Kingston, beginning the first Wednesday in .Rune, 1905. The whole of the afternoon session was given up to a bitter disdtissioitt on the question of the settlement of the Dr. Wilkie difiieulty. Any pro- posal to send him back to India met. with determined opposition, it being freely stated that his presence there was a menace to tee success of the church's foreign work, anal would threaten permanent disruiption. Irl was moved ' by Dr. Scrimger amendment to the motion for the adoption of the report presented the morning that a now field bo es- tablished in India for I)r.
