Nary a Duel.

Richmond, Va, 22.-TelegTams
tonight report the arrest, near
Hanover Junction, twenty-five miles
from Richmond, of Beirne, one of the
principals, and Page McCarty and
w. w. Archer, his friends: also
WaVerly Ragland, of the Elan
party. NOfght is reported, and it is
believed that none has taken place.
BeiTne was bailed, and went 10 his
home in Ashland.
Richmond, 22.-It appears that
Mayor Darlington received inform
alton as to the locality in whieh'the
belligerents were to meet, and sent
a police officer over the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway to Hanover June
ton. On getting off the train the
officer discovered the party and took
them into custody. 1t has been since
aScertained that the duel L ad been
arranged for this afternoon, but fer
the sudden appearance of the officer,
ten minutes more would not have
elapsed before the fight would have
taken place. AS it was it would
have been all over but for some
disagreement between Mccarthy.
Beirnss econd, andRagland,s second of
Elan, about the pistols to be used.
That trouble being settled the party
We're about moving to the place
where Elan was waiting when they
were arrested. 1t is reported that in
accepting the challenge Elan named
Colts rey0lvers, seven PAGES, both to
advance after the first FIRE, that
Beirns had agreed to the conditions
and that the disagreement which
caused delay at the last moment was
that the pistols, brought by ElaTn's
friend, were not Colts revolyers but
smaller, and not as effective a
weapon. Mccarthy wanted the
Eight to go an with the regular duel
ing pistols which they had. but
finally they agreed to use reToiyers.

TELEGRAmS
Agent Wilcox Interviewed.

Denver 22.-Indian Agent Wilcox
was interviewed this evening and
says he has received a telegram from
the secretary of the interior to the
effect that the adult renegade CHR
icahuas captured by General Crook
and now camped near Fort Grant,
will not be permitted to return to
San Carlos. The children will be
received and cared for until such
time as government provides
for them at one of the
Indian schools. Wilcox says
he understands the Mexican author
tiles have demanded a return into
custody of the bucks for the reason
that the Indians were captured on
Mexican soil. The agent believes
the demands are just and hopes
they will be complied with, thus Sc
curing to the Indians unaltered
justice and in a manner peculiar to
Mexicans when dealing with these
Apache butchers. Wilcox is q great
admirer of Gene al Crook, whom he
declares will never rest until old Ju
is corTaled and Charlie McComes
rescued.

Government Changes in France.

Since the accession Of Louis XVI,
in l774, nineteen years have never yet
passed without violent change in the
government Of France. In the sum
mer or IVA Louis XVI, ascended the
throne Of France; in rather less than
nineteen years after namely, in Jan
uary, 1793-he was beheaded, and
France had republic until 1904, when
Napoleon became Emperor. The
first empire lasted till 1914, when the
monarchy was restored in the person
of Louis XVIII. His power came to
an end few months later, on the re-
turn Of Napoleon from Elba in the
spring of 1915. Napoleon being de-
feated at Waterloo, and France over
run by the allied powers Of Europe
Louis NNIII was again restored to the
throne and he and his successor, Chas.
X reigned till 1880 when another revo-
luton occurred and Charles \ lost his
crown, which passed to the younger
branch of the Bourbon family in the
person Of Louis PHILIPPE He reigned
eighteen years, till 1913, when he in
his turn had to fly and the second re-
public was established, only to perish
in December 1851 after an existence
of less than -four years. The second
empire lasted nearly nineteen years
from the I'd of December, 1851,
to the 4th of September, 1870-and
then it, too, perished. Never for more
than hundred years has any one reg
ime in France lasted as long as nine
teen years. The first and second re-
publics and the first empire all fell
short Of this.
