Wanted to Fight n Duel.

Richmond, Va, Aug, 24.-For several DAYS
past vague rumors have prevailed here that
correspondence was going on between well
kno n citizens which might result in hos
tile meeting, but last evening it was reported
that the correspondence had terminated
In an amicable adjustment of the difficulty
between the parties. This morning, how
ever, the affair is reported to have assumed a
different aspect and upon the strength of
TINS report warrants were issued for the ar
rest of the alleged principals, DR..
George b. Johnston son of United
States Senator Johnston, and nephew of GEN
eral Joe Z. Johnston, and Captain John S.
Wise, son Of the late Governor Henry A.
Wise, on the charge of icing engaped
in q breach of the peace. DR..
Johnston was - arrested at . o'clock
this morning and taken before
a magistrate and bailed in thu sum of 50 OOo
for his appearance at court tomorrow.
CAPTAIN Wise has not yet been arrested The
difficulty is said to have its origin us follows:
Last winter Captain Wise's name was pre-.
sented for membership in the Westmoreland
club, which is composed OF many OF the best
citizens of Richmond; but despite the can
tain was of high and social stan ling, he was
Notwithstanding blackbaled with considera-
Bile unaumity. This action Of the
club was generally known and
freely discussed. Various reasons
being designed therefor, but the act was not
made public until recently, when Dr. John.
ston stated, in such manner that tho infor-
nation would reach Captain Wise, that he
was one of the many who had blackbsllel
Wise, and that he also had organized aud
carried out the movement which had re-
suited in that gentleman's reie,-
ton. giving sss reason for doing so that
he johnston had not in the least considered
that Wise's conduct in the congressional
canvass, in which his uncle Joseph E.
Johnston was a candidate, had been that
OF gentleman toward General Johnston;
that be had n0ttreated him with such respect
as the generals age and position should have
demanded. Its still claimed by the friends
OF the parties that the matter had been ad-
iusted and that there was no necessity for the
arrest OF the principals and the consequent
publicity.

Discriminating Duty

Washington, Aug 24.-The following was
issued by the treasury department this after
noon: In regard to the imposition of dis
criuinating duties on goods expected to ar
rive by Chinese vessel now due at San
Francisco, it may be stated that the treasury
department holds that the discriminating
duty of ten per centun ad valorum must, I'M
der the present regulations, be charged on
these goods under section 2,501, Of the re-
vised statutes, and the collector of customs
at San Francisco has been instructed accord
ingly. However if it appears that China
makes no discrimination in regard to imports
from the United States over that from other
countries, it would be competent for
the president to issue his proclamation
Under section 4,42S of the revised statutes,
relieving such goods from the discriminating
duty. 1t is understood the state department
is now making the necessary investigation to
determine the facts upon this point. 1t was
informally agreed, after the adjournment of
the cabinet to-day, to prepare proclamation
extending these commercial privileges now
erj oyod by other nations of the Chinese ves-
sells now on their way to San Francisco, laden
with Hawaiian products. Preparations for
drafting this proclamation began at the de-
partment of state this afternoon, and if COM
pleted, will be substituted to the cabinet for
consideration next Tuesday. II will be quite
an elaborate document.
