A NEEDED REFORM.

The Pension List Must Be Thovoa 10
Overhauied.
For the honor of honest pensioners
not less than for the protection of the
treasury against fraud, it is the imper-
alive duty OF the coming congress to
purge the rolls and of the present co.,
gress to prepare the way.
Fortunately the partisan ccwnvfics
which has so long controlled congress
in this matter is losing its hold. The
fear Of the soldier vote" which
prompted democrats for years to vote
for every pension bill. private or pub
lie, however tiagrantly unjustit might
be. is NO longer dominant
The result in November showed that
tire soldier vote is not SO venal as poll
ticians Of both parties have assumed it
70 be. In spite of the attempts made
to purchase it for Harrison by tho
fraudulent abuse of pension legislation
the states in which that vote is strong
est were Sarried for Cleveland. Hill
nois, Wisconsin and Indiana are demo.
cratic. and even in Ohio the republican
plurality is reduced to nominal figures
The democratic leaders have taken
fresh courage from this fact and are
already planning measures to restore
to the pension list its character Of a
roll of honor and to strip from it che
names that have been unjustly and
fraudulently placed there for purposes
of vote buying. IN. Y. World.

him in the head. because he wished to

do, and told him to get up and act like

A private dispatch yesterday after

a dispute over certain claims which
had been stakcd out. There are nearly
1000 men in the fields, and there has
been very little attention paid to the

pectors have simply devoted their time
TO prospecting and securing the sands
to find the most promising locations.

sued The direct cause Of the trouble
was the discovery Of large nuggets in
the bottom Of "A small stream.
Up to the moment of The rich strike
everything was all right. but the sight
Of the large nuggets had the same ef-
feet on the prospectors as a red rag on
a Mexican bull. Each man claimed
that he had first located the ground
and to settle the dispute guns were
brought to bear. There were over
forty men engaged in the terrible con.
flict. Few IL any escaped unhurt
The information of the trouble has
caused the greatest excitement in Dem
yer among the prospectors. who were
skcptical Of the reported fabulous
wealth Of the new gold fields.
The battle will undoubtedly bring
thousands Of people to the new camp,
for all prospectors regard deadly con-
flicts over mining claims as the best
evidence Of rich strikes.
Now that the ball has been opened
there is little doubt that the law OF
might will prevail in the camp until by
the usual processes order is ultimately
evolved out Of the existing chaos.

A REAL DUEL.

Ilis Antagonist. CONFERENCE.-The Identity
~ the Count somewhst Cioadcd Ia Mys-
terry.
LONDON, Dec. a9.-The newspapers
which contained y story of the duel at
Monte Carlo between an American and
the Russian known rs Count Romanon
was the Vienna Tageblatt. and not tho
Berlin Tageblatt. A dispatch says the
American was Jay l,rocton. and he was
not from Brooklyn.as before stated. the
suggestion that he was from Brooklyn
having undoubtedly been caused by
mistake as to his name. The American
and Romanoff quarreled at the gam
bling tables. as before stated. Ro-
manof being the aggressor. The Ameri-
can sharply resented an insulting re-
mark on the part OF the count,
and an immediate challenge was
the result. The two men fought
in the grounds of private villa and
evidently meant duel to the death.
The conditions were twenty-five PAGES
with liberty to advance to within two
PAGES OF each other and to keep on
firing until one or the other should
fall.
Both American and Russian came
calmly To the mark. and at the word
they fred with deadly intent, at tho
same time starting to advance.
The second bullet from Brocton's
pistol struck Romanoff just above the
heart The count reeled and fell, and
in a few moments expired.
Considerable mystery exists as to the
identity Of Count Peter Romanof. His
name, real or assumed. has suggestion
of connection with the imperial family
Of Russia. A New York newspaper
suggests that Count Peter Romanoh
may or may not be the travelling incog-
nito of the Grand Duke Peter Nicola
witch. who is the second son of the late
Grand Duke Nicolavitch, who was the
ears uncle. The Grand Duke Peter
was born in St Petersburg in 1854; was
aidc-dc-camp TO the emperor captain
of the ancicrs regiment Of the Imper-
ial guard and married, in 1889. ut Peter
hoff, the Princess Matilda, the oldest
daughter of the prince of Montenegro.
Further Particulars OF the Duel.
VIENNA, Dec. 29.-Further particr-
lars of the duel were received last even
ing. The quarrel out of which the duel
grew appears to have been due to a
Misunderstanding on the part OF the
count. 1t seems that Brocton had been
winning heavily at the gambling table,
and had tossed ''pourboire' to the
croupier. which the count supposed
was intended for him. The count ac-
cused Brocton of insulting him by the
act. Brocton denied the charge, and
tried to explain that the coin was for
the croupier. The count repeating that
Brocton had insulted him, Brocton gave
him the lie direct, and a challenge fol
lowed The names Of the seconds are
not known. Brocton left Nice Tues
day. He had been there few weeks
and had played at the tables almost
daily. He was quite popular.
