THE DUELLA.
1t is the Cause of Much Talk in the
ReichstaS.

RelchStaE.
BERLIN, April 20.-Herr Bachem,
Centrist, in the reichstag today, called
upon the house to take action to pre-
vent dueling. He dwelt upon the pub
lie indignation caused by the killing of
Baron Won Schrader by Count Won
Kotze, and asked why the police had
allowed the meeting to occur when
they knew of Won Kotze's intention to
fight the baron.
Continuing, Herr Bachem said that
the prince consort had obtained the
abolition of the duella in England, and
asked why the emperor could not find
a remedy for it in Germany. Cheers.
Dr. Won Boetticher, the minister for
the interior, replied for the chancellor,
Prince Won Hohenlohe, who, he said,
was indisposed and unable to attend.
The government, he asserted, sincerely
regretted the duels, but it could not be
blamed for failing to prevent them.
Murmurs from the members Of the
Left.
DR.. Won Boetticher added that duelists
would always find means to gain their
end. However, Prince Hohenlohe was
seriously preparing measures to assure
respect for the law upon the part Of all
classes.
Herr Rickert declared that the re-
form must comply with the military
courts of honor
Herr Chan endorsed Herr Bachem's
views of the case.
Herr Bebel said that the socialists
did not object to the "so-called higher
classess'' doing the work of mutual
self destruction, but he added the mid
die classes were aping the vices of the
aristocracy and dueling was spreading
because the duelists were confident of
pardon.
The house was then adjourned.

AGRICULTURAL RATING BILL.

LONDON, April 2O.-Mr. Henry Cha
pin, president of the local government
board, TO-DAY introduced in the house OF
commons the agricultural rating bill,
by which, after March 81, 1897, agri-
cultural land will be assessed for one
half of its present value. This means
an annual loss in revenue of Fl, $4,000.
Mr. Chaplin dwelt upon the agricul-
tural distress and said that the proper
tion Of rates TO profits had increased
1888 to 1919 per cent. during twenty
five years.
Mr.. Henry Fowler, who was secre-
tary of state for India in the last Lib
eraI government, opposed the bill on
behalf of the Liberals as being mex
pedient and unjust. He said that it
hauled over a million and a half tons
TO one section OF the community and
was not real remedy for the distress.
He, therefore, contended that the rates
were decreasing with the rents.

engagements between the Spanish
troops under General Fort. in this
province and the insurgents, the latter
admit having lost eighty-two killed and
having 157 wounded.
Reports received here from La
Crete's band of insurgents show very
demoralized condition of things. 1t is
said that La Crete is frequently in
toxicated and that of twenty Ameri-
cans of an expedition from the United
States who recently Joined him, five
have been killed and the rest are dis
gusted. They say they have been de-
ceived. that there is no war, that there
is no fighting and that they are living
in swamps without clothing, com
PEELED to eat bad food; that the agree
ments entered into with them have not
been carried cut and that they are
without leaders to lead them to vic
tory.
Persistent rumors are circulated here
that Antonio Maceo is DESTROYS of sur
rendering; but no unprejudiced OBJ
server places any belief in the reports
At Jaguey La Grande, in the Rene
dos district of the province of Santa
Clara, the insurgents have burned the
machinery houses of the Rosario plan
tation and have also burned the rail-
road station at Guanabana.
A dispatch from Matanzas says that
the prominent autonomist leader, Artiz
has been arrested and imprisoned on
a political charge, but after being some
time in confinement he was released by
order of the captain general
The splendid machinery houses of
the plantation of San Narcisco, this
province, have been destroyed by fire
and the cane plantations of Loteria
Clermen and their colonies have been
destroyed with $4,000 tons of cane
1t is now positively asserted that
Perico Belgado, the well known in
surgent leader, was recently killed in
an engagement in the province of Pinar
del Rio.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.
First Session of the First National
Congress.

First Session of the First National
Congress.
WASHINGTON, April 2o.-The first ses-
sion of the First National Congress of
Religious Education was held tonight in
the New York avenue Presbyterian
church. General John Eaton. ex-UniteG
States commissioner of education and
president of the American Society of Re
ligious Education, presided. The theme of
the evening was Religious Education
and National Prosperity the speakers
being Rev. w. H. Milburn, the blind
chaplain of the United States senate;
Rev. D. E. Grammar of Baltimore and
Senator j. M. Thurston of Nebraska. The
latter said that the body of American
lawyers. almost without exception, were
sincere believers in the truths of the
Christian religion because they knew that
all law was framed. upon the Mosaic
code. The only enemies of good govern
ment, he said, were immortality and
crime, leading. to anarchy. There was no
school for either of these agencies of
destruction of the home of the family
protesting the religion of Jesus Christ.
The sessions of the congress will con-
tinue over Thursday.

IN HOPES.

Some years ago there lived on high
In solitary state;
A bachelor-in socth twas I,
Pursuing thus my fate.
And as in sadness l gazed round
And paced that lonely floor,
I longed, not for the solid ground,
But just for one room more.
Twas then. or not long after that.
My wish came more than true.
I moved into a modest fiat
Where l. supported two
That is to say, until a third,
Came down through heavens door,
And then my wife and I averred
We'd like just one room more.
Today in deep felicity
Within a house we dwell
With number one and two and three,
And four and five as WE'LL
We thought twas ample when we came,
Yet, as I think it DER,
/ find our plant is just the same
We need but one room more.
Perchance, kind stranger. as you read
This dirty that l sing,
A tear bedims your eye-you need
With me the selfsame thing
Then let US join our hands and pray
That sometime, when we soar
Up to our mansions far away,
Well have that one room more.

Oldest inhabitant occurred about $50

MED by sheets Of rain and lightning.
For half an hour the rain fell in tor
rents and the wind blew with hur-
ricane force. Several school buildings
were unroofed. Residences were blown
down and other damage done.

NEW YORK, April 20.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
If General Maceo succeeds in cross
ing the eighteen mile barrier in spite
of the $4,000 Spanish regulars pressing
him on all Sides General Weyler must
confess, as General Campos did, that
the campaign is a failure and that
Spain cannot end this war by her own
unaided forces.
The rebel general has sent word to
his friends in Havana that he will
break through the trocha when he is
ready, and that when the first showers
of rain fall, the captain generals plan
will turn to dust. 1t is certain that
General Maceo has some sure means
of suddenly assembling his rowing
bands on this side of the trocha; some
say by means of colored paper bal
looms and others by messages. There
is a growing belief here that if General
Weyler is out-manouvred Spain Will
presently welcome the friendly media
ton of the United States. Even the
Spaniards share this feeling.
Prisoners of war are condemned TO
death as incendiaries without the proof
of guilt. Evidence that rebel soldier
belonged to a column of the enemy
which burned property is sufficient TO
insure his death. The prisoners death
depends upon whether he Joined the
offending band before or after the in
cendiarism occurred. 1t is said that
nearly hundred prisoners will be shot
as incendiaries within few days.
