THE

The following three points appear to
have been agreed upon hy the House
Judiciary Ccaami.tee i'll relation to
the distribution of the Sl5,;0o.noo
which constitute the Geneva awari:
First, that appropriations shall be
made for di>elarging the cost OF arhi-
tration: second, that those losses which
were uninsured shall be paid; and
third. that those losses which were
only partially uninsured shall be paid.
II any surplus remains after the dis
charge of these claims on the amount,
ii is to be divided among the insurance
companies. giving 10 each its pro rata
excess of aggregate war losses over
its aggregate premium on war risks.
This thru>ting of the insurance com
uanieS outside of the circle of rcco--
nized claimants and allowing them
what must be regarded i'll the light of Il
yratuitv. and scaled down to meet GER
tain conditions and contingencies AT
that. is the reverse of the ground &C
cup;ed by them before Congress. where
they have demanded To be included
with other claimantSin the distribution
of this large award. Their ease has

Orleans.

About the Goth of March Mr.. Alfred B.
Phillips, an attorney-at-law in New Orleans,
was conducting case in the District Court of
that city against the wife OF Mr.. Aristde
Bienvenu in behalf of some milliner. At the
termination of the suit Mrs. Bienvenu at
tackled, verbally, OF course, the attorney, and
applied to him all the unpleasant epithets
known TO the feminine vocabulary. Mr.
Phillips replied that, his assailant being a
woman, he could offer no oresentment, but that
he would notify her husband that he must re-
strain such exhibitions. At that moment he
left the room to place the matter before Mr..
Bienvenu, and met that gentleman on the
threshold. Mr.. Phillips said: "Mr. Bienvenu,
your wife has grossly insulted me and de-
sire you to prevent any further repetition Of
such conduct" To this Mr.. Blenvenu replied
"If my wife has insulted you she has done
just right, and l myself will take occasion to
insult you still more" No sooner did he
utter these words than Mr.. Phillips, provoked
beyond endurance, knocked Mr.. Bienvenu
down, at which juncture Mrs. Bienvenu, vocit-
Grating her indignation, made a rush at Mr.
Phillips with intent'to attack him, but, being
at once prevented by bystanders, committed
no damage. Subsequently Mr., Bienyenu
sought the assistance OF two friends, a chal-

On the 4th the parties were promptly at the
appointed place with their seconds. The
ground was measured, pegs driven, and a
toss for choice OF position and word was
had, which was won by the second of Mr..
Phillips This delay occupied about half an
hour. The principals appeared TO be upex-

tragedy so near at hand. The weapons,
double-barreled shot-guns, were duly loaded
with ball by the seconds, and the principals
were placed in position. Mr.. Du Bertrand
then stated the terms Of the cartel, which
stipulated that the combatants should stand
with their weapons held in such a manner
that the muzzles should be pointing to the
ground; that the words should be: "Gentle-
men, are you ready" that silence should be
interpreted into consent, when the words,
" Fire one, two, three" would be given; that
they could raise their weapons and fire after
the word " fire" and before the word "three"
The question was asked: "Gentlemen, are
you ready?" Silence gave consent, and the
fatal words: "Firel onem were given. At
the word one Mr.. Phillips delivered his FIRE,
and almost simultaneously, but perceptibly
afterward Mr. Bienvenu's gun was dis charged,
and he fell dead, shot through the brain. The
word two was not given, as both parties had
discharged their weapons, and the one lay
bleeding, lifeless corpse, the other standing at
his post until permitted TO retire.
The ball entered the right cheek of the dead
man, crushing the jaw bone, ranging upward
through the brain, and then ranging down

Phillips asked and obtained permission to re-

usual civilities and expressions of regret at
