Baron de Reinach's Legacy to the Prose-
cution.
A leading man in the sinuous proceed
Jugs now being investigated was Baron de
Reinach, a large figure in the financial
world of Paris. He committed suicide on
the first mutterings of the storm Yester-
day NJ. Andrieux, ex-prefect of police of
Paris, was before the parliamentary com
mission investigating the rascality, and
said that he had photograph of a state
ment and account written by Baron de
Reinach. This showed the names Of the
payees of checks drawn by Baron de Rel
mach. NJ. Andrieux wrote a list of names
on piece of paper and handed it to NJ.

dictates of discretion.

document from DR.. Herr. He wished it to
be understood, however, that he could not
guarantee absolutely the accuracy of the
document or Baron de Reinach's state

word was far from unimpeachable. To his
knowledge Reinach had begun:.to pay per-
sonal debts with the money of the Panama
Canal company.
Incident of Reinach's vilIainy.
Andrieux told of an incident in which
Felix Cottu and Reinach were the actors.
Reinach said to Cottu regarding some
bribe money that he could say he received
the money to pay for advertising, and
upon Cottu objecting to such deception
Reinach said Cottu was to thin-skinned.
Then Cottu relied Reinach by the beard,
dragged him about the floor and called
him an embezzler and coward.

Andrieux was asked why, IL he knew
Reinach to be so dishonest. he placed any
reliance upon Reinach's charges that de-
puties had sold their votes. Mr.. Andrieux
replied: Although dishonest with othsrs.

COMES NEAR BEING AMUSING.
Clemenceau and DerouIede Fight a Very
French Duel


French Duel
In Mark Twain's "Roughing 1t" there is
story of shooting match in which the
mark was an ace of clubs, and the con-
testants were one Bemis, of remarkable
storytelling powers, and the rest .of the
tourists. In the field was a COW, which
somehow got in the way of the bullet and
was killed. Twain in his artless style re-
marks that the COW was in no danger as
long as she stood still right behind the
marx. but that she began walking around
and got i'll the way of the bullet. Bemis.
who killed the COW, bought the same later.
lie didn't want it, but its owner induced"
MN to buy, using as an argument a shot
gun.
A Duel That Was for B-I-u-d
something like this, barring the pur-
chase was the duel yesterday between
Clemenceau and Deroulede. Both men are
SAID to be crack shots. Clemenceau had
put whole lot of lead into the breast of
dummy at twenty PAGES Wednesday They
wanted to fight at twenty PAGES with per-
mission to advance five PAGES each and fire
at will until som ebody was a corpse. and
seemed very anxious that some gore should
be shed. The manager of the duel declared
that such fight was against all French
precedent-and so it was, so far as modern
precedent is concerned He determined on
twenty-five PAGES with permission to ad-
vance three PAGES each, with six shots as
the limit.
He Got Down OF the Fence.
The only man who came near being hit
was spectator who got on a fence some
distance away and he straightway got
down off that fence and sought a tree
Three shots were fired apiece and then at
solicitation of friends the combatants
concluded that their honor was satified
without the spilling of gore Clemenceau
had another affair ON his hands and all the
details were arranged. the other party be-
ing Deputy Millevoye, but by mutual con-
sent the matter has been transferred 10 a
court of arbitration
1t Was Unnecessary Emotion.
Before the duelists took positions Delou
rede embraced his friends, saving he ex-
pected to be killed. He permitted them to
cut off several locks of his hair and divide
1t between them. He said he had no regrets
to express, and would die as a man of
honor. NJ. Clemenceau left orders for the
issue of lie Justice as usual, and then en-
braced the various members of his staff.

What 1t Is All About.
The excitement in Paris may be likened
to the excitement in the United States in
Credit Mobilier or in whisky ring times,
and for the same cause, especially as to the
Credit Mobilier. For the trouble in the
Panama case is that scores of members of
the national legislature are charged with
having accepted brides to further in the
chamber the scheme of the canal This
scheme has terribly victimized the French
people, their love for country and desire to
make France famous for its lberality in
this great work having been largely made
use of by schemers who sought their lib
eral subscriptions. 1t is generally conceded
that DE Lesseps was among those who were
deceived, AS few believe him to have been
guilty of intent to de!raud.

EAGLES AND HALF EAGLES.

Gold Withdrawn From the Sub
Treasury-ProbabIy for Export.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Six hundred
thousand dollars in gold was with
drawn by the Fourth national
bank to-day from the sub-treas-
ury. While officials of the bank refuse to
state whether the specie is intended for
shipment to Europe or not, the concensus
of opinion is that the gold will be exported
this week. The bank in securing the gold
simply acted for one of its customers. If
the gold is of proper weight, as the margin
of profit Is exceedingly slight it will be ex-
ported, otherwise not. Other applications
for the yellow metal have been made at the
sub treasury. 1t is understood it is pos
sible that the former proportion of double
eagles, eagles and half eagles, previously
given to shippers, may not be adhered to
in case of export demand. The supply of
eagles ia reduced and the proportion of
half eagles is likely to be greater.

TREATY RIGHTS.

Lord Roseberry's Controversy With

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Lord Roseberry, the
British foreign minister, has sent a note to
Pekin complaining that Chinese officials
have violated their rights by torbidding
British vessels to carry grain duty free
from Shanghai to Tientsin, and permit
ting native steamers alone to carry such
grain.
The British right is held under the treaty
made in 1880 between China and the
United States, Great Britain in her treaty
being accorded the most favored nation
treatment. The Pekin government urges
that the United States by the adoption of
the Chinese exclusion act has broken her
treaty with China and has thereby exclud-
ed Great Britain from the benefit that
would accrue to her from the most favored
nation clause.
Lord Boseberry, however, insists upon
