During the Hoxer troubles in China in 1900, Gineral Creagh commanded the 2nd Brigade of the British Expeditionary Force, and made himself especially popular with the troops of all the allied nations. His services in China obtained for him a K.C., with offatal thanks from the Secretaries of Stato for Foreign Affairs and India, and the Second Class of the Order of Japan, Returning to India, he took up the command of

early £2,000,000 in outgoings, and we can thus balance the year off as follows —

1908-09 Estimate. Actual Revenge... £153,080,000 £161,578,000 *Expenditure 154,12700 152,289,000

Deficit.. 1,047,000.

.last.

THE OUTLOOK. ·

The estimates of the various big spending departments for the year to March 31st, 1910, are as follows, compared with the year just concluded:--- Expenditure for 1909-10. Total Inc. or Dec.

with 1909-09. Army

£27,435,000... £24,0 0 35,142 700...+ 2,823,200 Nary Civil Services 40,070,171.. +7,072,700 Revenue Depts 22,350,730 + 705,100

124,998,601...+10,577,000

As regards the increase in the Civil Service Estimates we have allowed for the 'sup- plementary estimate of £910,00% For old- age pensions, as otherwise the advance under this head would be £7.982,700. Presur ably the Navy Vote will he kept at the figure estimated, and in the event of the Government putting down the four extra Dreadnoughts it will be future Badgets which will have to find the revenue.

Over and above these figures there are, of the Consolidated Faud Services, which figured at £39.705,000 last year. Whether a raid will be on the Sinking Find hy the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer remains to be seen, but if we take the Consolidated Fond Services for the coming twelve months at the same level ax last year there is a total outlay of £164,703,000 for which provision will have to be made, or fully 10 millionæincrease.

As there seems no likelihood of the present trade depression passing in the immediate futuro it would certainly not soom wise to count r any, improvement in revenue during the new yeur, and
