FURNISHES NO REAL REMEDY.
Opposition Thus Characterizes tht
Law Before House of Commons.

To Relieve the Agricultural Classes-Sir
William Harcourt Says Question Open
ed Is Greatest Within His Experience
Bill Finally Passed.
London, April 2O-The House of Com
mons today, considered The pill for the
reduction OF rates on agricultural lands
Right Hon. Sir Henry H. Fowler, said
the country had known times Of heavier
local taxation than now assessed. The
bill offered by the president of the local
government board, he said, was simply
proposal to hand over to sectional GLASS
!, 500, 600 pounds year, drawn from the
pockets of the general rate payers and
furnished no real remedy for the preve
liant agricultural distress. The imposi-
tion of local taxation might be unfair,
but it's unfairness was stronger against
towns than against the country.
The bill said nothing about Scotland
and Ireland, though the latter, as was
we'll known, possessed a strong claim to
fair share of relief. The opposition, he
declared, would meet the bill with the
most unoompromising resistance as a
grossly, unjust and inexpedient measure.
Sir Charles Dixie denounced the meas.
ure, which he declared tended to in
crease the existing unequal rating, and
instead of trying to relieve the poor,
added to the wealth of landlords.
Richard Burdenhaldane, member for
Haddingshire, said, that if the possibility
OF such bill becoming law had been
known at the time of the last elections,
the government would not have had a
| majority Of members. He predicted that
in a few years after the passage of the
measure, should it pass, the farmers
would not thank the government for it,
John Dillon, leader Of the anti-Par-
nellites, declared the bill was an outrage
on Ireland. If it were passed, Ireland
ought to receive forty to fifty percent Of
the grant.
Sir William Harcourt liberal leader in
the House, said he doubted if the House
knew the magnitude Of the proposals
| contained in the bill. 1t was by far the
greatest financial question opened within
| his experience in Parliament He was
astounded by the recklessness and want
of consideration, with which a measure
of this kind was flung on the floor of the
| House.
~; It is gross and epalpable Injustice.
The bill went half way towards a
national poor rate; than which there was
no greater danger. He predicted that
very soon the government would be un-
able to resist the demands that would be
made upon it, and would 60 the whole
way.
| Mr.. Chaplin, replying to the criticisms
on the bill, contended that the Unionists
were pledged to such measure before
the elections. Many of the proposals the
opposition denounced were based on the
Recommendations of their own royal COM
mission. Mr.. Chaplin announced that
the annual grant would continue five
years, and thereafter as Parliament
should determine. The bill passed the
! first reading.

HOW ROBBERS WERE CAUGHT.
An Intoxicated Servant Girl Gave the
Household the Tip.

New York, April 20.-The Sun was in
formed yesterday that the information
which led to the arrest of the Burden
servants, Dunlop and Turner in London
last week, came from this side of the
water. One Of the Burden Kitchen
maids was a great friend of Dunlop and
was discharged about month ago for
drunkenness. The girl was on friendly
terms also with Mrs. Luoien, wife of
the Burden cook, and under the indu-
enoe of liquor told her the whole story of
how Dunlop and Turner had stolen the
diamonds. She told it to Mrs Burden.
Mr.. Burden nssnotified J. S. Morgan & Co.. !,
and they gave the Scotland Yard detect
ives descriptions which resulted in the
arrest of both men.

That is a very singular state Of

Wnlie her claim was for $780, 600. Why not

Mr. Teller tartly replied, II will give
It to him. If he is only talking to hear
himself talk, I will not interrupt him."
MT. Chandler's comment upon this re-

Information. (Laughter.)
Inc matter went over without action.

The superintendent at Mount Vernon,

fourishing tree which he said had
been planted to commemorate the work
of the Alabama Claims Commission,
which, it will be recalled. mulcted Great

THAT is a tender subject" said JUS

Russell. However inequitable the
award, it was promptly and certainly
paid
Justice Harlan did not retort, as he
might, that shortly thereafter Great
Britain euchered the United States out

claims.
Lord Russell was jolly and said he
felt like making political speech, but
