REFUND DUES Ugder Recent Decision of Council. Montreal Herald. | The attorney-genéra¥'s department at Quebec has been asked by the local oi- fice for the collection of succession duties, for a ruling upon. the regent privy council decision in an Obgario case, that no succession duty codfd be exacted upon any property situated outside of the province imposing the duty. ' : It is not believed that the decision will make any difference to the pro- vinee of Quebec, though in Ontarie there is a prospect of its necessitating enormous refunds of taxes collected upon properties which are ruled to he beyond the rea h" of the "provinciai successions act. The Quebec succession duties act is extremely specific in declaring that the tax is exigible only on property situ- ate or credit assets due for payment in the province of Quebee. It does not matter where the owner dies or where he is domiciled at times of death; his ownership of smything veable' 'or immovable in this province cannot be transferred by will without the pay- ment of the duty, if the amount is large enough to call for it. The succession duties are one of the largest sources of revepue in the pro- vince bringing in Tot year the sum of $568,000. It is proBable that many legatees in this province will benefit by the deci- sion in| the Ontario case. Taxes have been' collected in considerable amounts by the Ontario government upon pro- perties situated in this province, but bequeathed by persons domiciled in Ontario and therefore claimed as tax- able by the Ontario government. These will necessarily have to be refunded. There have been a number of cases in which succession duty was demanded upon the same property by the two governments. In these cases, where the property. is situated in 'Quebee, the taxation of the Quebec government would be upheld, but that of the On- tario government would have to be re- funded to the heirs. § The privy couneil's ruling is baged onthe provision in the British North America act limiting each provinde's taxation jpowers to. its own: terditopy. X f . Privy RUSSIAN DUELS. The Affairs There Are Sometimes Quite Serious. In Russia the duel is not, and has never been, the innocuous affair which it has become in France.

Island, St. Pe- tersburg, between Prince Usupoff and Count Manteufel and which resulted in the death of- the former. The prince was only 25 years of age, enjoyed ex cellent health, was heir to the: greatest wealth in Russia, and belonged to one of the oldest and most illustrious fami lies in the empire. He was, well edu cated, having finished at the St. Peters burg university last year, was the au thor of several clever novels, and was able to dash off nzat verse. The enor- mous advantages with' which he was begirning life were shown by the sort of people who attended his funeral-- grand 'dukes, princes, representatives of the infperial family, dnd 61741 'the leading embassies. . ¥ This unfortunate young 'man certainly made hosts of friends during 'his' life- time," but helalso made f'éne' enemy. This was Count Manteufel, an officer of the Life Guards, with whose wifé he had been carrying on an intrigue, the dramatic discovery of which led to the duel.. At the first. discharge. nobody was hurt. At the second, the youhg prince fell, face forward, on the ground, shot through the breast. He muttergd something, but nobody could gather I meaning of it, and before the ambulance had arrived he was dead. The body was brought to his father's palace on the Moika. and at sight of it the domestics, with whom Re seems to have been very ponular, set up a cry of horror and an guish which drew tears even from those who thought that the prince had de- served what he got.

John Pringle, regard-- ing his course in publishing libellous and slanderous articles throughout Can ada with respect to the morals of Yu- kon territory, and particularly Dawson. As an evidence that this resolution did not emanate from either the Liberal or Conservative party it is most signifi cant that. it (was introduced into the Council by Dr Lachapelle, €Conserva- tive member for North Dawson, and seconded by John Grant, Liberal mem- ber for South: Dawson, The resolution. in question was the subject of a lengthy debate in the house covering the greater part of two days, and has likewise been the subject of much comment on the streets since its nrst appearance and the subsequent adoption: The resolution is as follows: Whereas, from addresses and letters of the Rev. John Pringle reported and published very extensively in the press of Canada, it appears that Mr. Pringle has most zealously endeavored to create the impression that the Yukon territory, and particularly Dawson, are altogether given over to vice and immortality; And whereas there has been made pub- lic a telegram sent by the Comimissioner of the Yukon territory to the Minister of the Interior of Canada, in: which he states that he unhesitatingly affirms that the Yukon, including Dawson, 1s as moral as any other part of Canada: Therefore, be it enacted that this Council expresses in the strongest terms its regret that Mr. Pringle should have entered upon a deliberate campaign of exaggerated calumny and slander, and shonld now be so. industriously engaged in vilifying those with whom he latgly associated in pretending amity and es- teem. and from whom he has teceided for 'ten years past support, mainténagce and comfort; be it further resolved, That this council expresses its appfo- val of the action of the yCommissios in forwarding said telegram, and its lief that the Yukon territory and son will compare favorably with part of America, and with any town respect paid to law and order, { regard for morality and observance of all social, commercial, legal, moral and religious; conventions, decencies and amenities, In the course of the debate which took place on the resolution every mem- ber preseat spoke in favor of its pas- sage except Geo. Black, member for Klondike, who is Mr, Pringle's legal adviser. y Passes ---------------- See Bibby's $3.50 school suits. Seidlitz powdeys, always: fresh at Gibson's Red Crass Drug Store.
