PARIS. Dec 23.-The duel between M Clemenceau and M. Deroulede resulted in a grand fizzle. The combatants blazed away at each other three times, but neither received a scratch.

 NM. Clemenceau and Deroulede consent ed to accept the decision, and the combat came to & close. The two duelists were overwhelmed with congratulations on the courage and coolness they had both exhib- ited on the trying occasion.

Herr Drove Reinach to Suicide.

PARIS, Dec. 27-It will be remembered in connection with Baron Reinach's death that it was said that the principal docu- ments during the distribution of the vast Panama corruption funds had been stolen. These dangerous papers have for long time been in the possession of Cornelius Herz, now fugitive in London.
 It is now said that Herz gained posses- sion of the documents several years ago and has ever since levied gigantic tribute upon Reinach. The amount extorted up to the time of the barons death is placed at no less than 10, ,000, ,000 francs. sa
 When the rumors of tue Panama corrup- ton began to be publicly discussed six weeks ago Herz is said to have made them the basis for fresh demand for 4,0Oo, ,000 francs. Reinach could not respond. Herz was memorable. He affirmed that he could stop the threatened great exposure if his demands were satisfied. Reinach appealed to Rouvier. He reminded the minister of finance of the assistance he had rendered him in the past. The distressed baron begged him to use every, effort to prevent Herz from executing his threats. Rouvier sought Clemenceau's aid. The latter re- ported that he could do nothing
 When the result was made known to Reinach he exclaimed, Il am lost" A day or two later he was dead, whether by sui eide or murder is still an open question.
