PLAYING MAD.

Another French Duel on the Tnpis, But No
New Graves Yet Prepared-IsOOdle Pris-
Oners Complain of Their Treatment.
PARIS, Dec. 27.-Prime Minister Ribot
was yesterday challenged to duel by
Andrieux The premier in his great
speech last Thursday referred to re-
cent book by Andrieux as the work Of
"a diplomatic intriguer who was sowing
disorder. Andrieux sent Proval, ex-
deputy, and LerouX, ex-magistrate, to
demand satisfaction. They saw Ribot's
secretary. He affirmed that the book
and the author were legitimate objects
of public criticism and that challenge
on such basis could not be considered.
Ribot later took the same position, and
declared that the code did not permit q
call to arms for such cause. Andrieux
will, therefore, publicly insult the
prime minister in order to bring about
a meeting.
1t looks as though Andrieux now
sought to provoke the cabinet into the
execution Of its apparent abandoned
purpose to prosecute him. It should be
borne in mind that much of Andrieux's
evidence against members ofparlianent
and ministers, which he is slowly deal
ing out, has been obtained from Corne-
Illus Herr, whose possession of it has
been explained
The lawyers representing Panama
officers now in prison have signed a
joint protest against the extreme sever.
ity of the treatment of their clients
Not only are they under the strictest
prison discipline, but they are forbid.
den all intercourse, even with counsel.
They see no one excepting occasional
calls from their wives. The defense
will not ask postponement when the
cases come up on January 10, but it is
expected that the prosecutor will re.
quest delay as the examination of the
documents alone will require another
month.

HERR A BLACKMAiLER.
TrSgio Story Connected with tho Panamo
Canal Scandal That ~ Shaking France.

TrSgio Story Connected with tho Panama
Canal Scandal That ~ Shaking France.
PARIS, Dec. ga story unmatched
in all history and without parallel in
standard fiction was told Ivy promi-
nent banker in explanation Of the
series Of events which has eliminated
in the present crisis in France. 1t will
be remembered in connection with
Baron Reinach's death that 1t was said
that the principal documents hearing IN
the distribution of the vast Panama cor
ruption funds had been stolen. These
dangerous yapers have for long time
been in possession OF Cornelius Herr,
now fugitive in London, who for sew
eral days has been SO prominently be-
fore the public in connection with the
Panama affair 1t Is now said that
Herz's connection with Reinach has
been that of blackmailer and Reinach
was his victim.
It is explained that Herr got posses
sion Of documents several years ago
and has since levied gigantic tribute on
Reinach. The amount extorted up to
the time of the baron's death is placed
at no less than 10, 900, 900 francs. When
the rumors of Panama corruption began
to be publicly discussed six weeks ago,
Herr is said to have made them the
basis for fresh demand for 1000. 900
francs. He threatened to publish
all his evidence in two Paris news
papers, If not paid. Reinach could not
respond. Herr, inexorable, increased
the pressure. He affirmed that he could
stop the threatened great exposure
if his demands were satisfied. Reinach
in his extremity appealed to Rouvier.
He reminded the minister of finance of
the assistance he had rendered him in
the past and which Rouvier described
in his indiscreet speech in the chamber
the other day. The distressed baron
begged him to use every effort to pre-
vent Herr from executing his threats.
Rouvier sought Clemenceau's aid.
The latter reported that he could do
nothing.
When the result was made known to
Reinach, he exclaimed: II am lost"
A day or two later he was dead;
whether by suicide or murder is still IN
open question. Here's pursuit of Rein
ach. pitiless and relentless for years, is
described rs one of the cruelest crimes
in history. He was almost penniless
and without influence when Reinach
made him his protege. To-day he has
more than s., 200, 900 in visible property
in Paris and Frankfort besides large
interests in England 1t is affirmed
also that he himself instigated the
briberies which he afterwards used to
ruin his benefactor.
The Eclair prints an interview with
the fugitive Arton, who acted us dis
tributing agent of the Panama corrup-
ton fund and who is said to be across
the Spanish frontier. He refuses to ac-
cept the offer of n safe conduct to Paris
and return, saying: II do not fear
French justice, but will not SO to
Paris, because If / did / should be
poisoned as Reinach was"

sect known as the Chosen Seven. "
They are an offshoot of the Free Meth

foundation of their belief. Men and
women have spells" when they tear
their clothing in shreds and pull
the hair from their heads. Carter, the
leader, declared few days ago that he
had been commanded to sacrifice his in

command being carried out and by
frantic efforts prevented him from
plunging 4 butcher knife, which he
held in his hand, through the child's

Col. Cereon, commanding the Mexican
troops in that city, stating that Lieut..
West, commanding troop of United
States cavalry from Fort Ringgold, ha6
run down about twenty-five revolution
lists in the neighborhood Of Santa Anna

sued by the Mexican troops. 1t is re-
ported that the cavalry sustained loss

From what your correspondent could
CLEAN from the officials here 1t seems
that on last Friday afternoon the Mex

Mexico, and q bloody battle ensued,
lasting over one hour, the number Of
men being equal on both sides. There
were fifty revolutionists and the same
number of federal troops. A regular
running fight was kept up and over
five men were killed in the engagement
The Mexican troops were reinforced by
nm additional company of cavalry from
Mier, and they drove the revolution
lists toward the Rio Grande river,
where they crossed into Texas.
The revolutionists had not gone a
mile from the river when company OF
United States cavalry, under command
of Lieut.. West, struck their trail. The
ten Seminole Indian scouts who were
with the soldiers followed the fresh
trail like bloodhounds, and in gallor
the cavalry put after the revolutionists
and succeeded in overtaking them at
Santa Anna creek. near the town of
Roma, Starr county. The bandits, see
ing they had to fight, wheeled about
and fired a volley into the ranks of the
soldiers, and it is reported killed four.
The order to fire was issued by Lieut..
West to his men, who killed three Of
the bandits and wounded several others.
The bandits then reiterated into the
chapparal and succeeded in getting
away. 1t is reported that Gen. Estrada,
who recently disappeared from Mier
Mexico. is at the head of the revolu-
tionists, and he is one of the most DIES.

Observations.

Modern pessimism is ancient Calvinsm
with God left out.
The liar despises those who believe him,
and hates those who do not.
Some people would like to have an Inquis-
ton to compel liberality and liberation.
Many woman makes a man perfectly
wretched because she loves him so much.
By the worlds law man is held guilty
until he is proved innocent-and afterward.
How exasperating are those sunny-natur-
ed people who will never allow you to COM
plain
To tell woman you love her without do
ing so, and then to love her without telling
her so, is the Alpha and Omega of Irritation.
If were as rich as my right-hand neigh
Dor, I should have his faults; if I were as
poor as my left-hand neighbor, 1 should have
his. Being myself, have mine.
