DUELINe IN ITALY.

CFiminal Proceedings Against EleteN
Deputies In Rome.
italian deputies have constituted the
majority of each of the three peace con-
crosses held in recent years in Rome,
and they have written and published q
whole literature of pamphlets. entitled:
"Down with Weapons, 1.-THE Universal
Peace, ""Wnr. Abolished" etc. At the
same time they have remained the most
pugnacious lot of parliamentary repre-
resentatives In the world. Hardly 4
session of parliament passes without q
dozen or more duels among the MEM
bers coming to general notice, and
probably as many more are fought and
finished in secrecy. f
At present, says the New York Sun,
criminal proceedings have been begun
against eleven deputies for uels fought
by them last summer. Deputy Roux
must answer for his participation in
two meetings. The other ten are
charged with one duel each. In four
meetings blood flowed, although no
body was injured mortally. The other
duels were concluded without pain or
peril TO anybody.
Statistics for ten years in italy show
that the deputies do not misrepresent
their country by their readiness TO settle
disputes with weapons. Between 1880
and 1890 2.759 duels were fought. OF
these 2,489 were fought with sabers,
ITO with pistols and 90 with rapiers.
Fifty duels resulted in death, 1850 in
severe wounds, 1,4OO In slight wounds,
In DAT cases newspaper articles and in
73O cases oral disputes gave cause fol
meetings. In $50 meetings there VIA q
woman in the case; in ITO, a blow was
struck; in 30, differences as to religion
were to be settled, in 10, gambling
caused the quarrel.
Since the beginning Of 1890, when
dueliug was made punishable with i'm
prisonment for from three days to three
months, the number of meetings hat
decreased. In 1890 but lit duels were
fought and in 1891 only 1873. The fac
that eleven deputies are being prose
cuted for violating the law shows shat
dueling is a national pastime which
Italian gentlemen will not abandon
without a struggle. Most Of them still
stand fast in the spirit Of the Neapoli
tan nobleman who, after having Tough
thirty duels to defend his opinion tina

Rod Rivers OF Morocco.

Among the noteworthy things DIR.
Oscar LEM saw when he travelled
through Morocco q while ago were two
little rivers that ones a year, at the
time OF the greatest heat, are filed with
red water. It Is supposed the color
comes either from a strata Of red clay
through which the streams may pass,
or from myriads of little red organisms.
Another curious stream was q large
creek with waters almost as salt as
those OF the ocean. This creek comes
from great beds of salt, of which it car
ries OH a very considerable quantity in
solution. In the dry season the creek
bed Is exposed and Is found to be v
cred with q thick demonstration of salt.

CHICAGO. Juno 21.-A meeting OF all the anti
Cleveland people WAS called to be held at New

CHICAGO. juno 22-1 A. M-The anti-Cleve-
land men from tho various States held an i'm
portant and protracted conference to- night
at New York headquarters. which lasted un-
til after II o'clock. The feeling among a
large body OF the delegates that Cleveland
would be the weakest candidate who could be
nominated. and that he could not by any
freak OF fortune succeed in carrying

nothing OF the strongest States In the
South and some in tho West. became

the Democracy to its senses and prevent
the plan OF forcing the ex-Presi-
dents nomination. Gov. Flower. Lieut.
other prominent members Of tho New York
delegation were present. together with lnfu-
ential leaders from moro than score
of States. The result Of the for
ence was that moro than 800 del
egutes personally pledged themselves to
vote and work against the nomination Of
Cleveland. no matter what strength he
shou!d develop on the urst or subsequent
ballots. After the conference Congressman
Cutchings Of hlssiss pri. speaking Officially on
