IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Nether the President nor
the Attorney General has yet received any official
information showing that District-Attorney Lewis,
of Virginia, acted as of Elam's seconds in tho
recent duel. There indications that the Attor-
ney General is inclined TO take the ground that he
cannot interfere upon the strength of news
paper statements, and that he ought to wait until
Lewis shall have been indicted before
taking any action looking to his
removal from office. friend Of the Presidents
said to-day that If any responsible person should
bring charges against Lewis account of his re-
cent act they would undoubtedly be promptly i1-
gestigated and proper action taken.
1t is understood that the Attorney-General
strongly denounces the practice of duelling. al
though 1t is said, he possesses superb pair Of
dueiling pistols and on at least two occa-
sons was ready and willing TO them.
Ii is understood that on both occasions-once
when he was under thirty years OF age and once
ten years afterward-he was the sender oi the cha-
| lenge. In neither instance was the challenge
accepted, and Mr. Brewster has been heard Ia later
years to xpress his satisfaction that such was tho
case. On one of the occasions mentioned ex-Speaker

tons. In the other case the man who received the
