Judge Twiggs' Refusal to Go TO Trial
on "A Days Notice.

Judge III. d. ID. Twiggs, who will rep
resent the prosecution against DR.. Kilpat-
rick, received a telegram yesterday from
the attorneys for the defense. stating that
the case will come up for preliminary trial
to-day at Midville.
This was In the nature of a surprise to
Judge Twiggs as It was asking the impos-
slble to demand that he be present at the
trial upon so short notice
Judge Twiggs wired that he could not be
present, nor could he have the witnesses
for ths state that are necessary for a
fair trial of the case there. Some Of the
witnesses are in Atlanta and some In Ma
con, and he declares that 1t is useless to
expect case 70 be tried of such impor-
tance as this by giving the prosecution
twelve hours to respond.

GRACEFUL ACT by TILLMAN.
He Calls with Other CaroIinians 10
Ask Wade HnmptOn's Retention.


Washington, June 9.-Gen. Longstreet
will have to wait until Gen. Wade Hamp-
ton recovers from his present indispos-
ton before there win be change in the
office of commissioner OF railroads.
One of the most interesting incidents OF
the day at the white house was a call by
Senator Tillman, Senator McLaurin and
Representatives Latimer and Stokes of
South Carolina. Although silver demo-
Gratis of the deepest dyed hue they are on
friendly terms with the President. and
visited him TO request the retention OF
Gen. Wade Hampton a gold democrat, as
railroad commissioner The President told
them that he thought very highly OF Gen.
Hampton, but said that he expected to
make change In the office some time in
the future. fIe did not expect, however
to Immediately nominate a successor to
Gen. Hampton AS has been stated, Gen.
Longstreet Is the man who has been pick
ed out for the position.
To South Carolinians, and to politicians
generally, who are familiar with the rela
tions that have existed for years between
Gen. Hampton and the faction represented
by the callers, the visit is OF deep interest
In 1890, when Senator Tillman was elected
governor or South Carolina after one Of
the most bitter campaigns ever known In
the south, an intensely hostile feeling be-
tween Gov. Tillman and Gen. Hampton,
Jneh senator, was aroused, resulting IN
the defeat of Senator Hampton for re-
election and the election by Gov. Tillmans s
efforts OF Senator J. NJ. l.. Irby. The hos
tility between Gen. Hampton and Gov
Tfllman was further increased by the bit
ter attacks which Gov. Tillman and his
faction made upon eX-President Cleveland
at the Chicago convention of 1892, Gen
Hampton being a warm supporter of Pres
ident Cleveland. There has never been n
reconciliation of any kind between Sena-
tor Tillman and Gen. Hampton, and the
visit to the President to-day was a CRATE
ful act upon the part of the South Caro-
linian.
Senator Tillman and President McKin-
ley are on wonderfully good terms for
men of such wide divergence Of views.
Senator Mcbaurin is highly regarded by
the President

COUNT WOUNDED IN A DUEL.
The Encounter an Outcome of the
Charity Bazaar Fire.


Paris, June 9.-All Paris is talking to-
night of the duel with swords fought this
afternoon between two members of the
old nobility, Count Robert de Montesquion
and Henri de Regnier at Neuilly lie VAL
lois, growing out of a remark made by
Mile. Heredia, the sister-in-law of Reg
nier. few days ago in the salon OF the
Baroness Alphonse de Rothschild.
Mile. Heredia, who was with her sister,
Nine. Regnier, turned the conversation
on handsome cane carried by the Count
de Montesquion, who stood near her, and
remarked that it was just the sort of cane
that might have been used at the Charity
Bazar fire to beat the ladies.
The count, who overheard the remark.
interpreted II as an insinuation of cow
ardly conduct on his part toward women
at the fire. Immediately Withdrawing
from the salon, he sent challenge TO Nj.
de Regnier who was escorting his wife
and sister-in-law, and before midnight sec
onds were appointed and the prehminaries
of the duel arranged.
On consideration, however, the seconds
of NJ. de Ragnier submitted to the count $
| seconds that the remark was one of mere
banter upon which the count ought not TO
place so serious a construction, and urged
tndt the matter be arDuFaJeQ.
The Count de Montesequion thereupon
twitted NJ. de Regnier with being afraid
to meet him and branded him in the news
pa3ers as a coward.
This resulted in a challenge from M. de
Regnier, after three days spent in the
discussion of conflicting statements as to
| the precise words used by Mile Heredia
and Nine. de Regnier, who had echoed
| her sisters remarks.
The COnpt da Manifestation Immediately
accepted this challenge. His seconds were
| Count Dion de Montesquion and Maurice
Barrs, and M De Regniers were Henri
| Housaye and Jeane Beraud.
| The duel was fought in the presence of
Georges Hugo and the artists, NM. Fo-
! rain and Caran d'Ache.
| The combatants attacked each other
! with the greatest vigor and for ten min
| utes fought to kill. In the third en-
| counter, the Count de Montesquon was
| wounded in the back of the right hand. The
| surgeons then interfered and refused TO al
low the combat to proceed. The combat
ants on withdrawing, declined even to bow
to each other.
The affair has made a tremendous sen.
sation, as it may prove the first incident
| in general boycott socially Of a number
! of men who are persistently accused II
| certain quarters of having displayed thC
| rankest cowardce at the charity bazal
| fire.
NJ. de Regnier did not take his first les
son in fencing until after he had received
| the challenge of the Count de Monies
| quion. He is a poet and a leader in tn,
| decadent school of poetry He spent tn,
whole morning in sorting his manuscript
which, after he had carefully locked then
in boxes, he sent to his sec etary for saf,
| custody.
This evening, he called at the count,

| reconciliation has been effected.

Washington, June 9.-Tt appears that
Senator Thomas Collier Platts recommen-
dations or requests at the white house
are not always received With favor by
President Mckinley Up to the date the
New York boss has very little to show
as the result OF his individual efforts at
the administration pie counter.
To-day the President nominated a col

ent Of the colored schools In Camden, n.

Der Of citizens Of New York. who are di-

HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST.
Chinese Fishermen Caught in a Ter
rifle GaIe

rife Gale.
Victoria, p. c., June 9.-Meagre partic-
ulars were brought by the Empress of ia
pan to-day of a disaster which befell the
fishermen of Churan Archipelago, off the
coast of China. On May 6, when all, or
at least most of the fishing boats were
out on the fishing banks, a terrible gale
sprung up. OF the several hundred boats
out at the time, very few returned, and It
is estimated that some 800 men lost their
lives. The storm was one of those sudden
ones, for which the coast of China is
noted, and the fishermen had no chance
to seek shelter. Their light boats were
smashed to atoms, and they were left to
fight an hopeless battle with the mercress
waves.
The storm swept over the entire archi-
pelago, which extends across the mouth
of Hanchow bay on the eastern coast of
China. Several large 1unks were lost, In
which scores persisted.

cox WON'T co TO CUBA.
The General Announces That He Has
Declined to serve.

Washington, June 9.-It was learned
that the President has offered the post of
minister to Spain to ex-Gov. Jacob ID. Cox
of Ohio. Whether or not he will accept
is not known.
Gen. Cox is an old personal friend of the
President, and one In whom Mr.. Mckinley
has a great deal of confidence. Although
almost 40 years of age, Gen. Cox is still a
man Of much vlgor and energy.
Should he be called to this important
post he would bring to IL an experience
gained In important service and achieve
ments In public ana private life. He had
a distinguished career as a soldier, rising
to the rank OF major general. He was
governor of Ohio IN 1866 and 1867, and for
two years was Secretary OF the Interior In
President Grants cabinet from which he
retired on account Of disagreement with
certain measures of the administration.
Later, he served In congress, and for a
time was president OF the Wabash rail-
road.
Cincinnati, o., June "a Commercial
Tribune reporter saw Gen. Jacob ID. Cox
tonight and asked him. Are you going
to accept the office II appointed minister
to Spain"
Gen. Cox answered promptly: Il am
not"
He then stated that he had received no
official notice Of this offer, but had been
semi-ofiicially Informed that the offer
would be made If he desired the place.
Through this intermediary he thanked
President Mckinley for his compliment
and gave his reasons for declining. His
principal reasons are that he has for sew
eral years been engaged in literary work
that viii take some years to complete and
he cannot afford 10 abandon It, Further
more the position offered imposed great re-
sponsibility and labor at this time. But
this Is a minor reason.
Gen. Cox has been offered a professor
ship I'm the law department of Cincinnati
University, which no Will decline for the
same chief reason.
