The peculiar religious society known as Dunkards, large numbers of whom have lived in northern Indiana for many years, is endeavoring to purchase the entire body of land comprised within Brown county, in the state of Indiana, to which the mem bers will emigrate and establish government of their own, ac- cording to their peculiar notions. C. E. Everett, of Albion, is the projector of the scheme, and has already purchased Al ,000 acres of land in that county, to which 100 families will move in a few days, The projectors say that neither iail nor courthouse will be needed, and that the election oi local officers would be held only to comply with the law, as all property would be held in common.

Metals More Precious than Gold.

There are several rare metals that are much more valuable than gold. Gailium. for example, IS quoted in the market at 3,000$ an ounce avoirdupois. Tons of to obtain a trifing quantity. Most costly of all metals save only galium, is ger manium, which is quoted at 1,125$ per ounce Rhodlum is worth 112 5OS an ounce; ruthenium, sos an ounce; and palladium, 24$ an ounce. The last is about equal Tn value 10 gold These met als are of no great commercial import ance. Most of them are mere curiosites of the laboratory, having been discovered originally by accident. incidental to the analysis of ores l. has been suggested that some of them might he coined, but the supply of them is too uncertain. That was the difficulty with platinum, which the Russian government mlnled in the first half of the present century. Iridium is utilized to some extent for making instruments of delicacy which must have the property ot not corrodng. It resists the action of all single acids. Its only important use is for tipping gold pens. For this purpose the grains of it, which are fat like gold dust, are picked out with mlgnfving glasses.

ccrins Dccndence.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-John Burns, labor
member of Parliament for Battersea, has a
two-column article in the Times this morning
in reply to the statement of an American
engineer who a few days ago in the Times
columns discussed with an English engineer
the conditions of work in England and the
United States. Mr.. Burns agrees with what
was then said as to the excellence of Ameri-
can workmanship. He denies. however, that
this is due to the wages paid and the long
hours, but ascribes it to the fact that the
employers had fewer deadheads to carry
about. He says:
1.-The American employers are more in
ventive, adaptable. less hidebound in their
conceits more versatile in inventive and
initiative efforts If American engineering
excels the British it is not because of the
shortcomings of the British mechanics, but
because of the wooden-headed and often pig
headed charcter Of the employers, managers
and foremen.
Given skilled American supervision and
inventive methods with British mechanics
and mechanics work and therein is the alli-
ance OF organization and production which
would be the best in the world"
He concludes by denying that Great Brit
ain is losing her engineering trade, alleging
on the contrary that 1t Is increasing. while
strikes are deere lsng. He quotes statistics
in proof of this.

General Woodford has declined to be inter-
viewed on the subject further than to say
that his conference with the duke of Tetuan,
the foreign minister, was of the most salts
factory character. The unexpected bitter
ness of the press and of public opinion has
painfully impressed him, but he hopes that
will soon be allayed, as he believes his mis-
sion favorable to Spanish interests and can
not comprehend that Spain could reject
mediation designed to end in an impoveriSh-
irg war. He has not named time at which
the war must be terminated, but he hopes,
as the result of his tenders that it will be
ended quickly. He believes the war is in
hcting incalculabe loss upon the United
States and that it is impossible to prevent
the organization of tilibustering expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to protect

the body to order on Time.
CHICAGO, Sept Notwithstanding the
announcement by Eugene Debs that the
convention OF labor organizations called for
this city tomorrow is "off" the social democ
racy leader said tonight that the conference
would be held and that he himself would
call the gathering to order.
The call for the convention was issued
on September 3 and signed by r. ]. Donnelly,
j. r, Sovereign. w. ID. Mahon, James O'Con-
nell and f. V. Dcbs. meeting of that
committee was to have been held in Chit
cago Saturday but Debs was the only man
present. He accordingly announced that
there would DE no convention. Since that
time the single tax delegates have come on
and ii has been ordered to go ahead. A COM
mittee waited on Debs this evening and in
vited him to call tine convention to order
tomorrow morning. He accepted and will de-
liver the opening address. 1t is probable
that the coal strike and other trades union
matters will be left alone during the confer
ence. The result will be a discus ion of the
best means of securing what the call denom-
mates as the "indlienable rights of every
citizen under the constitution"
Mr.. Debs puts it this way late tonight: 81
am exceedingly pleased that the Single Tax
league has taken the conference in hand and
will do all | can to aid in the work. can
be present only portion of tomorrow, how
ever, as | must leave for an eastern trip in
the interest of the social democracy. l re-
gret exceedingly that the Federation of La
Dor has not given the conference it's counte-
nance. as 1t would have added greatly to the
success of the session. Unfortunately the
idea is prevalent that the object of the con-
ference, as originally designated, was solely
in the interest of the mine workers. That
would have been practically a side issue.
There are matters of weighty and far reach
ing moment to come before the body In
my opinion it is equally important as was

PREMIER is WOUNDED IN A DUEL.
Count Bndcni Fights DR.. WolN with
the EmperOr's Approval.

LONDON Sept. 27.-The Vienna corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says this morn
ing:
The duel between Count Badeni. the
Austrian premier, and DR.. Wolf, the Ger
man nationalist leader. has caused the Wild
est sensation. 1t rose out of the riotous
scenes at the opening of the Reichsrath,
when Count Badeni with arms crossed and
head on his breast listened unmoved by the
clamor and gesticulations OF the German
party His attitude was most irritating.
The whole left formed a threa tening group
around him, conspicuous among them being
the great lean face of Wolff as he pressed
forward and thrust his fist into Count
Badeni's face saying "If this is your
policy it is miserable chicanery.'
Some declare that Wolff called him a
Polish pig" He was pulled back by his
colleagues, but continued uttering menaces.
Early on Friday Count Badeni sent his
seconds to DR.. Wolff who accepted the
challenge The premier sent telegram TO
the emperor asking permission to hght the
duel and at the same time rendering MS
resignation. In reply he received not only
permission to fight. but also the imperial
approval.
Count Badeni then made his Will. after
which he spent the evening at the Jockey
cmb and a pleasure resort His wife and
family knew nothing about the affa!r until
the duel was over.
The combatants met at the military riding
school Count Badenis seconds were Mar

The conditions of the duel were three shots

charge the premiers ball struck TIE ground
fifteen paces from his antagonist. The
,atters ball struck Count Badeni In the
right arm. He staggered back TO his chaiI
and was then taken home. where the ouIle,
was extracted There are no symptoms o'
