TAXES TO BE REDUCED.
Chaplin's Bill introduced in the
House of Parliament.

LONDON, April 20.-In the House Of
Commons to-day Right Hon. Henry
Chaplin, President of the Local Govern
ment Board, introduced bill providing
for the reduction of rates on agricult-
Ura1 lands.
Mr.. Chaplin declared that the Gov
eminent proposed, after the close of the
financial year in March, 1897, instead OF
assessing the whole ratable value upon
land to impose a tax OF only half Of it's
ratable value, allowing the buildings
thereon to be assessed at their full
value as heretofore. This, he said
would cause a deficiency of Fl 800, coo
which would be met by half-yearly pay
nents from the treasury to the local
county authorities, to whom the sum OF
1871 900 was also allotted by the budget
for the purpose of reducing the agri-
cultural rating. He had no doubt, he
said, that the relief Under the provis-
ions of the bill would go largely to the

which the injured party, who had no
chance through legal methods of OBJ
tanning satisfaction. and was driven to
the extreme of having recourse to duel,
in which he was killed, while the man
who had offered the remarks which
caused the insult got off with light pun
ishment
The more recent duel between Won
Kotze and Won Schrader was a more
difficult matter to deal with. The event,
he said, must produce the conviction in
certain high quarters that reform Is
necessary, and must come from above.
Would it not be possible he asked,
that the Emperor's clear judgment
might ultimately drive the custom of
dueling out of the world? If his
majesty followed the example of his
grandfather he would at least issue an
order to restrict the practice
DR.. Bachem then recalled the historic
order of Frederick the Great concerning
the dismissal Of officers from the army
for taking the law into their own hands.
The organization of German courts of
honor, he added, left much to be desired,
and the present time was a favorable
time for reform.
DIR. Won Boetticher, Imperial Secre-
tary of State for the Interior, replied
that the assumption that the authori-
ties had not done their duty was ground
less. He could not admit that as a mat

Herr Rickett, Radical Unionist. ex-

resolution regarding dueling which
would be offered tomorrow would be

ciared4 might have been watched by
the police, the same as socialist sus-
poets were watched. This method he
sald, would be desirable. inasmuch as
Spain and Belgium were imposing heavy
fines and terms of imprisonment upon
duellsts with the result of greatly re-
stricting the practice.
Herr Schall Conservative. con-
demned the practice of dueling as con-
