PARIS, Dec. 2l.-The coming duel be-
tween N. Clemenceau, editor Of Ia Jus
dee, and NJ. Deroulede, who assailed NJ
Olemenceau in the chamber Of deputies
yesterday, the latter retorting that De-
roulede lied, is roustng considerable in
terest. NJ. Deroulede has granted NJ.
Clemenceau q choice OF weapons and
preparations for the event are being
pushed rapidly forward. The friends
Of NJ. Clemenceau soy that he intends
d duel to the death, and will be satisfied
with nothing short Of this. On the
other hand NJ, Deroulede's friends aver
that he is of deadly mind and 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 Deroulede's friends in case
of his defeat, the latter have promised,
it is said, to keep other newspapers
fully and promptly posted on the sub
iecta Both the combatants looked pale
and earnest this morning, but other.
wise showed no sign OF apprehension.
The friends of both are loud in their
predictions Of victory for one or the
other and look forward with great inter-
est to the event.

N. Rouyier on the contrary failed to

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 21.-Atlanta is
giving the heartiest welcome to Vice

tlemen and ladies Of his party who
reached the city shortly after i o'clock
to-day. The special was an hour late in

at Austell they were met by delegas
tions from the city council, the Young
Mems Democratic League and the Com
mercial Cub. The run into Atlanta
was quickly made. Mr.. Stevenson re-
fuses to discuss politics, but said in
talking with one Of the gentlemen in
the party concerning the south and the
administration: "As to what the in
coming administration will do Irefer
you TO the distinguished gentleman
who has a country home at Buzzard's
Bay. He has morereltable information
on that subject than 1,haye.
FThere islnot shadow OF doubt in
my mind, ," he continued, 'but that the
south will be more prosperous under
the coming administration than ever
before. The south and north know
each other better and the era OF dis
trust will be wiped out, Cleyeland's
administration will bring more pros
porous times to the south, for then she
will have nothing to fear from hasty
aud unwise legislation. The era Of

Or. Lnmpe Continues His ReSponsel TO tho
Defsndant'S Reply.
NEw YoRK, Dec. 21.-The trial Of Dr..
Briggs for heresy was resumed to-day
before the New York Presbytery.
Immediately after calling the roll and
reading Of the minutes OF yesterdays
session DIR. Briggs arose and presented
an exception to the proceed edings Of the
court yesterday, in that DIR. Lampe,
under the cloak Of rebuttal testimony,
introduced large amount ot evidence
and new matter. The exception was
fled. .-.5a....i Z,
DR.. Lampe then resumed the reading
Of his response to DR. Briggs reply. He
said that DR.. Briggs in trying to sub
stantiate his claim had said that the
Westminster confession did notgshow
that the pionsersj of that work held the
belief that the text and words of the
scriptures were incorrect; that, in tact,
they held the contrary, and they are iers
rors Of fact and history. 2Dr. Lampe
said that there werc men In the West
minister Assembly who did hold 10 such
belief. but they were in o small minors
ty. He quoted Chillingsworth Henry
Hammond, John White and other min
isters Of that body, to. prove that they
held to the belief that the scriptures
were verbally inspired.
Dr.. Lampe went on to say, that al the
errors which Dr. Briggs says biblical
scholars find in the Bible have been
known for generations. He has not
given a single new one. DR.. Lampe
thought itwould be o good thing II all
these errors, so-calledj were tabulated
and pnblished. Through new discover
les made in Bible lands these difficulties
are disappearing one after another.
siWhat the prosecution claimed was
that when the Bible did assign an au-
thor 70 q particular book its decision
must be regarded aa final. The belief
that had been held for upwards OF 1000
years, that 60 far as human agency Is
concerned, the Pentateuch ia theworlr
of Moses; could not bei thrown aside
without the Glearest evidence Of itslun-
trustworthineas

The report that olemenceau and

The conditions agreed upon will show

They are to fight with pistols. Thetwo

Of advancing to five PAGES apart AS
both men are considered good shots, it

other will be killed.
