ENeLAND,s ESTATE DUTIES.
The House of Commons Further Dis,
cusses the Proposals.

cusses the Proposals.
London, June lathe House of Com
mons debated this evening the estate
duties as proposed in the budget. Sir g.
Baden Powell conservative, moved an
amendment to the effect that in the case
of property held abroad the amount of
any death duties paid in the country in
which the property was situated should
be deduC ted from the duties payable in
Great Britain this arrangement to
be effective however, only with such
countries as make similar exemption in
the Converse case. Sir George rubutted
Sir William Harcourt's contention that
taxing property held in the colonies did
not ia yerfele with the autonomous rights
OF the colonies. He argued that such
taxation was likely to cause friction and
eventually retaliation.
Robert 7. Reid solicitor general, de-
Tended the budget for the government.
He said that Sir William Harcourt,
confer with the colonial agents concern
ing The estate duties, and he appealed to
the house not to press the matter further
at present The question was a mixed
one, OF both law and eXpediency, and
might better be discussed after the
conference.
Henry Fowler, secretary of state for
India, said he did not doubt that the
chancellor of the eXchequer and the
colonial agents would reach an agree
ment. At all events the question brought
up by the honorable member for Liver
pool could be discussed fully in the report
stage. The proposed amendment was
then withdrawn.

THE VOTE IN PULASKI.
The Candidates for the Legislatura.

The Candidates for the Legislature.
Hawkinsville, Ca, June 1.-THE con-
solidated vote of last Saturdays primary
shows that Atkinson received 65I votes
to S13 for Gen. Evans. As a general
thing the country people voted for Atkin-
son. Clif,On's ma lority over Gambler is
S4o. Waddell received AS. Nesbitt 425
aud Calvin ~. The other state house Of
hcers received nearly a thousand votes
apiece.
The nominees for the legislature are
both excellent ones, and no county IN the
state will be more ably represented. Col.
NJ I. Hodge was member of the last
House and made an enviable reputation.
He is an able lawyer, an eloquent speaker
and skilled parliamentarian. His
friends will urge him for speaker.
MIR. J. p Brown is perhaps the largest
individual planter in Pulaski county. He
is an old pupil of Gov. Northen. and is
one of the best equipped men in the
county for the legislature. Hon. A. 0.
Bacon will probably get the vote of
Pulaski representatives for the senator
ship, if Judge Crisp is not in the race.

Fifth Round.

New Orleans, June 14.-Johnny Con-
nors, of Springfield, ILL.,, defeated Jack
Levy, an Englishman, before the Olympic
Club tonight in five rounds. The match
was a 25-rounds boxing contest for a
purse of $500 Connors is very strong
for a 10O-pounder, and started into make
the battle fast one Levy, instead of
showing his usual science, accepted the
challenge and got the worst of it.
Connors landed early on the ear, nose
and eye, closing the latter and putting
Levy at disadvantage. The latter was
never in it, except during a brief rally in
the third round. Levy kept growing
weaker rapidly, and in the fifth round
vicious uppercut on the point of the jaw
put him to sleep in short order. Connors
will fight Barry, who conquered German,
in a few weeks to settle the champion
ship of the class.

PENSIONS OF DEsERTERs.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds Pc
verses a Harrisonian Ruling.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds Re
verses a Harrisonian Ruling.
Washington, June 14.-Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds of the interior department
to-day rendered an important decision
which is far-reaching in the cancellat ton
of thousands of pension certificates issued
under ruling of the last administration
He holds that where a claimant for a pen
sion has deserted from his first service
and enlisted in another and different
organization, and the war department
refuses to remove the charge of
deSertlon, or recognize the legality of the
second service, but holds him to be in a
continuous state of desertion, that de-
partment has exclusive jurisdiction, the
correction of its own records and the
legality of the soldiers services, and until
the charge of desertion is removed by the
war department the claimant has no pen
slouable status.
A RETURN TO AN OLD Practice.
This ruling is a return to the old and
wetl-settled practice of the department
IN the adjudication of pension claims, and
Is reversal of the opinion of the late
assistant secretary, in which it was held
mat formal discharge from the second
service terminates the status of desertion
and places the soldier regardless of the
record in the attitude of an eligible
claimant for invalid pension, independent
OF the act of March 2, 1889, which pro
yldes Tor the removal of the charge of
desertion in such cases, when the claim
ant shows himself entitled to relief by its
terms.
While the money paid those persons on
certificates issued under the ruling of the
laSt administration cannot be recovered,
me action of Judge Reynolds to-day will
nave the effect of dropping the names of
lhose whom he holds have illegally been
granted pensions

MUTINY OF THE MINERS.
Their Organization May Be Disrupted
Over the Comnromisa

Columbus, o., June 1.-THE opposition
to the coal strike compromise is assuming
threatening proportions, and the national
officers of the miners organization are
now very much worried over the situa-
ton, which threatens disruption of the
organization. President A. A Adams of
the state miners organi7ation1has issued
the following call for state convention of
miners TO take action against the settle
ment:
Onicial Notice of Tpecial Conventions
the Mine Workers Of District No 8, United
Mine Workers, Of America, Greeting: Under
the present existing conditions, we, with
your executive board. feel it necessary to call
a special convention, and hereby issue a call
Tor convention 10 be held in the city Of Co
lumnus, O.. Tuesday June 10 1891 beginning
at 10 o'clock "a. m. You will, therefore. please
select your hest men to represent you, as bust
ness of vast importance will have to be acted
upon. Very respectfully, yours,
a. A ADAMS, President.
M'BRIDE's PREDICTION.
President Mcbride predicted to-day
that if miners persisted in following the
lead of A. a. Adams, and refused toiabide
by the recent settlement, in less than a
months time they would be mining coal
at 10 cents ton instead of the 90 cents
thew could get now He said that only by
keeping united front could the respect
of the operators for the miners
organization be maintained. AS
soon as it became apparent
that the miners would be divided the OPP
orators would attempt TO get the cheapest
labor possible, so as to be able to compete
with the Pennsylvania operators. Pres
ident McBrides anxiety over the situation
is shown by the sending by him of a large
number of letters defending the action of
the conference. He claims that meeting
of the district presidents, before the
conference was held, there was no opposi-
tion TO the 60 and SO cent settlement
These men were fresh from the miners
and the national officers had right to as
sumo that they represented the miners
sentiments.
Adams was present at the meeting re-
ferred to. SAL
A strong effort is being made to depose
the present national officers and place
Adams in McBride's place.
