PARIS, June 24-The anti-semitic cam
paign has been the cause OF the death Of
brave officer OF the French army, Captain
Mayer, Of the engineer corps, and pro-
iessor In the Ecole polytechniqne. Captain
Mayer fought duel with the Marquis de
Morcs and received a wound in the chest.
He died a few hours later. All, without
distinction Of opinion, regret the death Of
this officer, who was a man of considerable
merit. He fell in combat, loyal to his
friends, but a useless sacrifice

According to some every Jewish officer in
the army intended TO challenge the marquis.
According to others De Mores win be ar

able, but he viii certainly be brought be

10 five years imprisonment. In any case IL
willtbe necessary for a series Of duels to

The duel grew out Of the anti.Semite cam

Parole, the anarchist paper, Of which Edou-
ard Drumont is the editor NJ Drumont
recently accused Deputy Burdeau Of accept

His Career In America.
The Marquis de Mores is noted for his pro-
pensity TO fight. Some years ago, while he

boys threatened to "do him. One Of the
latter, IN consequence, is quietly resting I'M
der the sod of that state. His attempt to
shoot the marquis was followed by sudden
death. The trinl for this offense resulted in
a verdict Of "not guilty rendered in less
than five minutes. He also fought n duel
