DUEL TAKES PLACE NEAR PARIS.

The Italian Leaves the Field of Honor
with Only Trifilng Scratch on One
Hand While His Antagonist Is Left in
the Care of Surgeons-The Combat Last
ed Twenty-Six Minutes and Was Fought
with yigor.
Paris, Aug. 1.-THE duel between
Prince Henri Of Orleans and the Count
or Turin, nephew Of King Humbert,
which grew out of statements made by
the prince regarding the conduct of the
Italian prisoners who were captured by
hlng Menelek during the recent disas-
trous campaign in Abyssina, took place
at 5'o'clock Sunday morning in the Bois
des MarchauX, about ten miles from
Paris. The fight was a desperate one.
The prince was severely wounded and
was removed from the field hors de
combat. The count was slightly
wounded.
Ihe place where the meeting occurred
Is favorte dueling ground Certain
cynical persons decline even now to re-
gard the affair seriously, and describe
IL as horrible accident" on the field
or honor. A majority of the Parisians,
however, treat it as an international
event of the most tragic Importance.
The victim is the hero of the hour, and
bulletins from his bedside are read with
breathless interest on the boulevards.
Paris Violently Excited.
The interesting invalid has only to
express the desire and France will place
all her destinies in his hands-so at
least the volatile enthusiasm of the
crowds which throng the streets would
indicate. Nothing. indeed has thrown
Paris into such a fever OF excitement
since President Carnot was assas-
sinated. 1t is hardly necessary ia zee
oordinS this event to reproduce the many
columns Of patriotic rhapsody whitN Ml
the special editions Of the Paris news
papers. The story when compress sed
into more modest proportions is about
as follows:
The two principals realized that Che
tremendous public interest i'm thtig az

choice between a real duel and evpos-
ure to such penalties Of popular riGicule
that Their regulations would rot sur
Vive. The conferences between the see
onds became more numerous and SOL
emn than ever, the veil Of mystery was
wound ostgntatiOnsly around every
feature of the affair. and every pune
tillo was strictly observed Principals
and seconds alike knew that the eyes
OF Europe were upon them and acted
as though the fate Of the universe was
in their keeping.
