LONDON, September "a Paris cor
respondent sends sensational story to-day.
The story is that two ladies resident in
Paris, one a Partisan by birth and the
other an American, and whose names he
claims are very well known and very care
fully suppressed, went to-day to the woods
of Mendon with the intention Of fighting
duel. The quarrel that gave rise to this
hostile meeting began on the Boulevard Des
Italiens the evening before, and its subject
was certain well-known man about town
and frequenter of the fashionable clubs.
The two women met in front OF the Cafe
American, and after few moments e1-
change of words, they assailed each other,
mutually tore their bonnets, bustles and
back hair in vigorous fashion.
Swords were the weapons selected for the
contest and the two combatants were pre-
pairing for the fight, when three gems d'armes
appeared on the ground and ordered all the
parties present to accompany them to the
police station. There the Superintendent
gave the two women a severe lecture, ad-
vised their reconciliation, retained their
weapons and dismissed them. The account
concludes with the information that both
parties are real ladies'"

Some Exciting Scenes in the British Trades
Union Congress.
rBY pUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
LIVERPOOL, September 5.-The principal
business OF the Trades Union Congress to-
day was the election of Parliamentary
Secretary to take the place of Mr.. Henry
Broadhurst, who has been compelled to re-
sign, after a long term of valuable service,
on account of the weak state of his health.
The matter was made the occasion of a bitter
fight between the members OF the old Union
ist party, which supported Mr.. Shipton. and
the new Unionists, under John Burns, who
are clamoring for the establishment of eight
hours as a recognized working day, and
who proposed Mr.. Charles Fenwick, the
member of Parliament for Wansbeck, and
one of the labor members of the House.
Several exciting scenes occurred and there
was great deal of noise, which reached its
height when delegate challenged Burns to
withdraw at once from the room and fight
him outside, challenge he could not put
into effect even if Mr.. Burns would have
met him, as his friends forcibly prevented
his leaving the room. Eventually vote
was taken, and Mr.. Fenwick was elected
Secretary by majority of 16.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.1
PORTLAND. September 5-Here every
thing is quiet. The silly stories about Sena-
tor German, who was alleged to have
started on tour to Maine to debauch the
morals of the voters, was answered by his
plain denial. but that did not prevent the
starting of an equally silly story to the
effect that Colonel W. W. Dudley, of
Indiana, was on his way here to help
Mr.. Reed. What that gentleman wants is
to be let alone. The assistance of outsiders
does not help him. The great aggregation
of talent at Old Orchard this afternoon,
when Reed and Lodge and Mckinley and
Henderson spoke, made no votes. The fact
is, apathy reigns and seems invincible.
Another month like the last and Mr. Reed
would be beaten man. The Democrats
for revenue only and the Republicans who
have been waiting to hear gold dollars
dropping on the floor are discouraged. So
far nobody has seen any sign of the PROM
ised Democratic barrel.
The sessions of the Board of Aldermen are
a pretty good test and certainly the Demo-
Gratis have been making no additions to the
check list there. Two years ago $50 names
had been added, where only $50 have been
this year. The work of naturalizing the
Biddeford Frenchmen goes on rather slowly
before Judge Bonney of the Superior Court
Local interest continues to center on the
legislative ticket. There seems to be no
good reason for expecting anything else
than success of the whole Republican ticket.

TRAITORS POSTPONED.

| Confirmation of the Investigntiou-Both
Sides of the Central Controversy-whnr

Road officials.
ALBANY, September 5.-The State Board
of Arbitration continued their investigation
of the Central strike to-day, :and heard both
sides of the controversy. Commissioner
Purcell presided. Mr.. Powderly did not
arrive. Messrs. Wright and Roger A.
Pryor appeared for the Knights and Ham
ilton Harrison for the road.
Commissioner Purcell asked for the pro-
duction of the agreement between the road
and the men as published and it was nut in
evidence. Both sides declared themselves
through, and the hearing was declared
closed.
Mr.. Purcell, in closing, said that the pub
lie, he thought, and the newspapers, were
under the impression that the board could
give a decision in favor of one side or the
other. The impression was false. He
wished it understood that the law allowed
the board to give an opinion or decision
only when both parties consented to arbi-
trate. In this case the board would con-
slider the testimony and would make certain
recommendations tor.the amicable settlement
of the difficulty.
The board cannot make this announce
ment however, but through the Legislature,
and so January will probably be the date
when their views will become public. The
only advantage thus far gained is in the
bringing out of the case In its true light be-
fore the public.

Claim TO Have Secured 1900 Votes for
Governor Pattison.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArCHl
WEST CHESTER, September 5.-There is
a continued activity in the Independent Re
publican movement, and the work is going
forward so quietly that it is hard to ascer-
tain anything definite concerning it. A very
carefully planned still hunt is nevertheless
known to be in progress, and the result of
all this labor is the one thing that is most
difficult to estimate in the present campaign.
1t is claimed that the Independents have en-
rolled the names of 1000 voters in Chester
county who have declared their intention to
vote for Mr.. Pattison, and they are not yet
through with their count.
1t is very generally admitted that a
change of 1,500 voters from Delamater to
Pattison would give the latter a majority,
and that 1900 would leave a very narrow
margin for Delamater. There will be no
public demonstrations made by the In
dependents They depend entirely on the
use of the mails and personal promises of
the individuals. They will, however, be
expected, in accordance with the under
standing existing among them, to vote as
unit, and this time their votes are to be-
given to Pattison.

behalf of the campaign fund, only it is said
that their mission will be much circum-
scribed in consequence Of internal disputes

that they represent themselves solely, and

The Irish party in general seems to be op-
posed to the campaign plan. and they look
upon it as fatal error. The New Tip
perary scheme is bound to be failure, as
both Dillon and O'Brien have been terribly
outwitted by Smith Barry, who has pur.
chased the land on which the village stands,
and as his leases all fall due in four years
he will then be in position to oust the
tenants and raze the entire town to its
foundations.

A JUST DECISION.
An Army Scandal Which Is Now Atfrs citing
Considerable Attention.


Considerable Attention.
tBY pUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
CORK, September 5.-The severe measures
that have just been adopted by the War
Office in case that has for some time at
tracted general attention, have now create
a genuine sensation. The officers concerned
in this action OF the War Office are attached
to a Welsh regiment stationed here. Among
the members of the regiment in question
is a Lieutenant Jervois, vino has always
enjoyed wide popularity among the pri-
Yates, but has been ignored, scorned, boy
cotted and prosecuted by his fellow officers,
and subjected by them to petty annoyances
of all kinds. This persecution eliminated
about two months ago. WHEN the lieuten-
ants room was broken into at night, he was
dragged from his bed, taken outside to a Sc
cluded spot and tarred and feathered. A
few days later Jervols refused to salute his
superior officer when on parade. as he knew
that officer was one of those guilty of the in
dignity heaped upon him previously, and
he had no other means of showing his re-
sentiment.
Following this, he absented himself from
his regiment, and proceeded to England,
ther. to visit relatives. When he had been
absent four days he was arrested as de-
serter,' brought back here and subjected to
eight weeks confinement in his quarters.
His relatives lodged complaint with the
Government for this, and an inquiry was
ordered at once. 1t was made, and the de-
cision, announced Wednesday last. was
to the effect that two officers are deprived of
their commissions and four OF hers placed at
the bottom of the promotion list, with the
option of resignation. 1t Is this decision
that is causing the sensation here, and is
universally accepted as just.

His Very Latest Views Upon the
Question of State Taxation.
ESPECIAL rELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
ALLENTOWN, PA, September 5.-The
Republicans of Allentown tonight gave a
rousing welcome and reception to Senators
Delamater and Watres and General Stewart,
the Republican candidates who will to-mor-
row address the annual county meeting at
saegersville in the upper part of the county.
After dining at the American hotel the
candidates were serenaded by the Allen
town band. Senator Delanater in the
course of his speech said:
Inc Republican party looks to-day forward
ana not backward. 1t is the party of the peo-
PIE. 1t discusses, determines and puts in
operation practical things, benefiting the peo-
pie not only Of this Commonwealth, but of the
nation. I stand here as the representative

appears with the mask torn off, and he
stands as the avowed representative of free
trade We are engaged IN a great struggle
nov, nov, put we are on the eve of a greater one in
clearly defined. On this account the State
must do Its part not in a mild way, but IN a
most emphatic way. The Republican
party has taken a stand in its plat
form on the question of State taxation. The
party has taken the view that the land of the
farm, your homes and mine, have been ex-
cesslvely taxed and bear more than their
burden OF public expenses as against the cor
porations. That view is mine. have come to
the same conclusion. The party says to the
farmer that it will give him relief that 1t will put
on the corporation and on personal property
their share. and that 1t will put on enough tax
that the counties can be paid back sufficient to
aford relief that will be felt at once by the
farmer and the land owner. That is the
kind of talk 1 like. If I am elected
governor 1 propose to see this carried
out We will be able to raise enough
money to give the needed relief and give it
promptly. To-day Pennsylvania stands prac-
tically free from debt. owing to our wise and
economic administration, and figure it out
that enough can be secured from the corpora
tons to increase the school fund in each
county two-foid. am a Republican. and stand
on a Republican platform. believe in all that
which has inspired the Republican party in the
last n years in saving nations life, in freeing
a race that was in slavery in giving the right
to vote to all men irrespective of color in the
grand work of reconstruction, in giving a
sound currency and wise banking system that
mas made us one of the greatest nations on the
earth, and in throwing up the bulwark of pro-
lection to American labor.
Senator Watres and General Stewart each
made a short address.

Gently written to Hon. Clinton B. Davis,
Chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee, has this to say with reference to
his being a candidate for Governor on the
Democratic ticket in the coming election.
The frequent mention Of my name as posi-

advise you officially that If such a nomination
were rendered should be compelled reluctantly
to decline it. The co-partnership engagement
into which entered in the city of New York
precludes me from accepting any political
position at present.
Governor Waller, it is said, would be
willing to make any sacrifice for his party
and do all in his power to promote its sue
cess, but his duty to those who have cast
their business lot with him demands that
he give his undivided attention to their

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.


PHILADELPHIA, September 5.-Candi-
date Delamater, Mayor Filter and David
Martin held conference to-day in the
Mayors Office. The Republican candidate
for Governor and Mayor Filter have had no
meeting since the Republican State Conven-
ton, and the diplomatic Martin is credited
with having made the arrangements for to-
days meeting, which settled one thing posi-
lively. All the forces of the municipal de-
partments controlled by Mayor Filter and
his directors will be used in the interest of
the Republican candidate for Governor.
FITLER GIVES WAY.
Mayor Filter was in the sulks for some
time after the nomination of Senator Del
amater for Governor, but when he found
the local leaders ready to consult with him
in the making of fall ticket he announced
his intention to actively support the State
candidates.
The Mayor, during the interview with the
Republican candidate for Governor, did not
relax any of his official or personal dignity.
He spoke in measured terms of his individ-
ual Importance, but made his callers feel
easy when he graciously announced his
willingness to use every effort to roll up =
large Republican majority in Philadelphia.
Senator Delamater, after leaving the
Mayors Office, visited Postmaster Field.
The latter has been busy for some time past
with new schemes for the improvement of
the postal service of this city, and has paid
but little attention to the political situation.
Mr.. Frield was feeling in excellent
spirits, and informed Senator Delamater
of his faith in the outcome of the State
fight, which he believes will result in the
Senator's election by handsome majority.
The hustling candidate for the Gubernator-
ial honors, with an eve to the value of prac-
tical services next visited the headquarters
of the Republican State Committee at the
Continental Hotel and had long talk with
Chairman Andrews.
DELAMATER CoNTENTED.
At its close Senator Delamater expressed
himself as contented with the outlook, and
said that he is satisfied with the conduct
of the campaign up to date. He is not
paying much attention to the opposition
which is raised against him, his efforts being
mainly directed to keeping the stalwarts
in line. Early in the evening Senator Del
amater lett for Allentown, where he was
booked for speech.
Wharton Barker, one of the prime factors
in the Independent Republican movement
against Delamater, when seen to-day,
stated that he had concluded to not divulge
the names of those who constituted the City
Committee until Monday. He claims that
Delamater will not have 10, 900 majority in
this city, and thinks that number of Re-
publican strongholds in the State will be in
doubt.
