ON THE FIELD OF HONOR.
Two Frenchmen Meet and Cross Swords With
 But Little Result.


 Paris, June 29.-A duel was fought to- day between M. Gadaud ex-minister of agriculture, and NJ. Leon Miriam, radi- cal socialist member of the chamber Of deputies for the first district of Rheims, who as a conscript gained mo- toriety through his protest against be- ing confined in the barracks during the recent election of a president in success sion to M. Casimer-Perier. During visit lately of M. Gadaud to Rheims the municipal authorities there presented to him a protest against their being de- prived of representation through M Mi rams being obliged to serve in the army To this protest M. Gadaud replied that M. Miriam ought not to r-'rk his duty but should do his share or military ser vice. M Miriam thereupon addressed to M. Gadaud an insulting letter, which led to the encounter today. M. Gadaud re- signed his portfolio in the cabinet in or der to regain his personal liberty, and then challenged M. Miriam to fight a duel. The latter accepted the challenge, and chose swords as the weapons to be used M Gadaud was slightly wounded.
 A later version of the duel is to the effect that M. Gadaud was not hurt, but that Deputy Miriam, who appeared on the field in a private's uniform, received a slight wound in the wrist. M. Miram's seconds were M. Miller, a radical social ist deputy, and M Pierre Richard, Bculangist republican. NJ Francois Du- soiler and M Jean Barthou, republican deputies, acted for M. Gadaud.
