means to kill Clemenceau or be killed
himself. In order to prevent La Justice
from having an exclusive report of the
duel and thereby making sales which
would be narrowing to de Roulede's
friends, in case Of his defeat, the latter
have promised. it is said, to keep other
newspapers fully and promptly posted
on the subject. Both the combatants
looked pale and earnest this morning,
but otherwise showed no sign of appre-
hension. The friends of both are loud
in their predictions OF victory for one or
the other, and look forward with great
interest to the event.
The report that Clemenceau and De-
roulede have serious intentions as to
their duel tomorrow is fully confirmed.
The conditions agreed upon will show
the two to be remarkably lacking in
nerve if there is not fatal result
They are to fight with pistols. The
two combatants are to be stationed
twenty-five yards apart, but with the
privilege of advancing to five PAGES
apart. AS both men are considered
good shots, it is generally believed that
one or the other will be killed.

ROYALIST INTRIGUE

In the Very AHA new group 20 De
Formed by the Boulangists.
LONDON, December 21.-The Chron-
icleS Paris correspondent says:
II is probable that this is only the
first batch Of incriminated politicians
to be prosecuted. Much compassion
for Deputy Arene was displayed by MS
colleagues in the chamber. Many
friendly hands grasped his as he left
the tribune, in way that is not COM
mon in French life when man is
down.
NJ. Rouvier, on the contrary, failed to
convince the chamber of his inno-
cence. Excepting weak plaudits from
the centre, his defense was received
with icy stiffness, and il was evident
that he had fallen, never to rise again.
NJ. PrOust declares that he will blow
his brains out rather than 90 to prison.
The air tonight breathes Royalist in
trigue. There are all the outward as
poets of a revolutionary era. The Sa int
Pelagie prison, where Editor Drumont
is confined, may be described as an edi-
torial Office. The absurdity OF allo W
ing him 10 issue every day columns OF
fresh accusations leads to the supposi
tion that the Government is anxious to
keep him away from certain individuals
who are reluctant TO compromise them
selves by visiting him in prison, but
who undoubtedly stand behind La Libre
Parole In it's present course. M. An
drieuZ, an.opponent OF the Government,
is, with the support of the BoulangiSts,
organizing a new group for the cleo
tions. Their programme will propose
revision of the Constitution as well as
of the personnel of the Republic, and
they will attract all 'the malcontentS

HOMESTEAD POISONING CASES
The Matter Before the Grand Jury in
Pittsburg.

AiO thO July Al
Pittsburg.
PlTTsBURG, PA, December 21.-The
Homestead poisoning cases are being
considered to-day by the Grand Jury.
Edward ChriStY, of Carnegie's, said to-
day:
N'So far as we have been able to learn,
the number of persons who died from
the effects Of the poison they received
number 80, but there are many other
workmen, some of whom will appear at
the trial, who are dying op their feet.
Since we have begun this investigation
we have been startled by the number Of
letters we have received from every
part Of the country, written by non
union workmen who became sick Of the
prevailing complaint at Homestead and
had gone to their homes. Many are yet
sick, and all are confident they were
poisoned. There were altogether about
1000 men employed by the Carnegie
Steel Company during the strike, and Of
these 1000 became sick, some died and
many were for weeks on the edge of the
grave"

Ounces Found in a New Lead.
DENVER, Colo, December 21.-One
of the greatest gold excitements since
the days of 40 Is at present attracting
the attention of the entire West, and
thousands OF people from Arizona, New
Mexico and Southern Colorado are rush
ing into the new fields. The excite
ment is unparalleled, and towns along
the Denver and Rio Grande, botn in
Southern Colorado aud New Mexico,
are almost depopulated. Nearly three
thousand people are already upon the
scene, and the new diggngs are said TO
have made prospectors wealthy in a
day.
1t was for some time matter OF con-
lecture as to the exact location OF these
remarkable placer mines. lnvestiga-
ton makes them most accessible from
Durango and Dolores. 1t is said the
Denver and Rio Grande is already sur
veying line, and tons of provisions are
being continually forwarded. Nuggets
of coarse gold have been received here
ranging in weight from ten to fifteen
ounces, and are similar to those discov-
cred in California Gulch at the time Of
the Leadville excitement.

PARIS, December GA most dis
astrous conflagration has occurred at
Benson, a village of Gironde, and four
teen of the villagers were either burned
to death in their homes or were Kill ed
while at tempting to escape. The flames,
famed by a high wind, spread with

that the efforts Of the villagers to tight
the fire would be fruitless. Attention
was then turned to saving the aged and
the little children, and it was in this work
of rescue that several of the villagers
lost their lives. The greater part of
the village was destroyed and the In
habitants are in great straits, owing TO
the lack OF food and proper clothing.

Democrats Gain a Point.

CHEYENNE, WYo., December 21.-The
Democrats won another point yesterday
in the Supreme Court. The Republi-
cans had induced the Democrats to In
clude the Governorship in the manda-
mus proceedings. The court decided
that the Governor need not be party
to suit against the State Canvassing
Board. The court also stated that it
would not go into the merits of the
Hanna precinct in Carbon county, but
would confine the review to the merits
of the State canvass only, thus simpi-
fying the case, which had become
greatly complicated. 1t is now be-
lieved that the case will be heard on its
merits.

PErrsBURG, December 21.-Eighteen
armed deputies have been sent to the
coal mines OF Brown Sc Sons, at Elk
horn, this county, to protect the colored
non-unionists, who recently took the
places Of the strikers. A delegate con-
yention of miners is in session at Monon-
gahela City to-day to consider the strike
and threats were made that after the
convention adjourned the delegates and
miners would march TO Elkhorn ana
force the negroes to come out OF the
mines. Elkhorn is only short distance
from Monongahela City, and fearing
that the threats would be carried out,
the operators asked for the deputies TO
protect their workman. There are $50
negroes at work and the feeling against
them is very bitter. The miners have
been out three months and many OF
their families are in destitute circum-
stances. An effort will be made at to-
davis convention to have the strike de-
clared of, as the men are discouraged
and growing restless.

the positions in Mr.. Cleveland's Caoi-
net for which there seem to be lew
available men. Ex-Secretary Bayard
and Senator Carlisle are the only ones
who have been named, in Washington
at least, for this position. Mr.. Bayard
ia said to entertain no further am6i-

Senator Carlisle, 1t is thought, would
