Sensational Outcome of Trivial Re-
other in II Paris salon.
TROUBLE AMONG THE POWERS
EVIDENCE THAT THE EASTERN
QUESTION Is NOT YET SETTLED.
Gravity OF the Situation Fully Real
anese-Ha aiian Dispute.

PARIS, June 9.-All Paris is talking to-
night of a duel with swords fought this
afternoon between two members of the old
nobility, Count Robert De Montesquoin and
Henri De Regnier, at Neuilly Levallois,
growing out of a remark made by Mile.
Heredia, the sister-in-law of Regnier a few
days ago in the salon of Baroness Alphonse
De Rothschild. Mile. Heredia, who was
with her sister, Nine. Regnier, turned the
conversation to a handsome cane carried by
the Count De Montesquoin. who stood near
her, and remarked that it was just the
sort of cane that might have been used
at the charity bazaar fire to beat the ladies.
The count, who overheard the remark in
terpreted it as an insinuation of cowardly
conduct on his part toward women at the
fire. Immediately withdrawing from the
salon he sent a challenge to NJ. De Regnier,
who was escorting his wife and sister-in-
law and before midnight seconds were APP
pointed and the pTeliminaries of the duel
arranged. On consideration, however, the
seconds of De Regnier submitted to the
counts seconds that the remark was one of
mere banter, upon which the count ought
not TO place so serious q construction, and
urged that the matter be arbitrated
The Count De Montesquoin charged De
Regnier with being afraid to meet him, and
branded him in the newspapers as a cow
ard. This resulted in challenge from De
Regnier, after three days spent in the dis
ctssion of conflicting statements as to the
precise words used by Mile. Heredia
and Mime. De Regnier, who had echoed
her sisters remarks The Count De Mont
esquoin Immediately accepted this chal-
lenge. His seconds were the Count Dion
De. Montesquoin and Maurice Barres and
M. De Regner's were Henri Houssaye and
Jean Beraud The duel fought in the
presence of Georges Hugo and the artists
NJ Forain and NJ. Caran D'Ache. The
combatants attacked each other with the
greatest vigor and for ten minutes fought
to KILL In the third encounter the Count
De Montesquoin was severely wounded in
the back of the right hand. The surgeons
.hen interfered and refused to allow the
combat to proceed The oombatants on
Withdrawing declined even to bow to each
other.
The affair has made tremendous SEN
sation, as it may prove the first incident
in "a general boycott socially of d number
of men who are perSiStently accused in
certain quarters of having displayed
rank cowardice at the Charity Bazaar hre.
NJ De Regnier did not take his first les
son in fencing until after he had received
the challenge of the Count DE Montes-
quoin. He is "a poet and a leader in the
decadent school of poetry. He spent the
whole morning in sorting his manuscripts,
in boxes, he sent to his secretary for safe
keeping. This evening he called at the
Counts residence, but 1t is not thought
a reconciliation has been effected.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Concert of the Powers Strained in the
Peace Negotiations.

LONDON, June 10.-The latest advces
from Constantinople deny that the powers
are advocating direct negotiations between
Turkey and Greece. In other respects, how
ever, the aspect of affairs is rather worse
than better. 1t appears that at Saturdays
conference the ambassadors declined to ac-
cept either Assim Bey or Zia Bey as
Turkish peace commissioner This to-
gether with their refusal to discuss the re-
tention of rhessaly threw the Sultan into
such a rage that he forthwith summoned a
meeting of the special commission appoint
ed to consider the terms of peace. All day
Sunday he was in Geographic communica-
ton with most of the European capitals,
and in the evening he gave stringent orders
to the grand Vizier, who Immediately
signed. The special commission sat until
the small hours of the morning accom-
plishing nothing but a split among its
members, the majority of whom expressed
themselves emphatically as opposed to
yielding TO the powers.
The Turks are very angry at the alleged
brusque declaration of Sir Philip Currie,
the British ambassador that England will
never permit Christians to return to Turk
ish rule. 1t is also stated that the German
ambassador is very much disconnected to
lind Count Nelidon, the Russian embas-
sador, supporting Sir Philip Currie in this
respect, and, although il is still alleged that
germany Is duNISiHE turkey 10 put every
man under arms, il is believed she has seen
the ACCESSIBILITY of falling into line with the
other powers. This view of the matter APP
pears to be confirmed in a significant arti-
Gle In the Kolnische Zeitung last evening,
which denies that England is encouraging
the Greeks or Germany the Turks, or that
there is any essential difference Of opinion
between England and Russia and adds: ION
the contrary. all the powers are seeking
to moderate the Turkish demands and to
prevent the reimposition of the Turkish
yoke upon Christian peoples.
Following on the reports of Bulgarian
restessness il is said on high authority that
the Grand Nizier officially advised the Sui
tan last saturday TO revoke the firman con-
ferring the governorship of Eastern Rou-
melta on Prince Ferdinand and to appoint
a Turkish pasha in his place basing this
ADVICE upon Prince Ferdinands suspicious
attitude and the friendlness of Russia to-
wards Bulgaria Ii Bulgaria should serious
~ demand autonomy for Macedonia the
situation would become extremely grave.

ity of affairs is fully recognized there NJ

With all the magniiicence of art, sur

at least two million books and enlarged
seating capacity for readers in the new Ii

more of the assistant librarians busy in

Farmers sugar Tariff.


Our farmers wage no war upon sugar re-
fning as an industry, but they want
policy that will commend itself to the
sober popular judgment as to stand for
period of years. They, would be content
with the Dingley schedule If the duty of
l cent per pound began on sugar testing
rs degrees by the polariscope, so as to
stand at TX cents per pound on the
product of domestic cane and beet sugar
factories which averages 80 degrees test;
the Dingley rate on this grade is now Las

stand, except to strike out continuance OF
Hawaiian treaty, and the eight-tenths of
l per cent. discount on reciprocity, sugar.
Then all raw sugar imported would pay
duty of ~ cents varying as to tesO, and
refined y cent additional. This would en-
courage our domestic industry; 1t is sim
pie proposition, the law could not be evad-
ed. and the rights of consumers 11n1 would b. be
vored by both sugar-cane and sugar-beet
growers, and possesses, the further ad-

wheat Crop Underestimated.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, June 9-The
Northwestern Miller says: 1T is now found
that on June there was as great a supply
of wheat in the Northwest as was on hand
Aug l. 1896. That was counted at % 000, 900
bushels which was probably not far from
right it follows, therefore, that the wheat
crop of the Northwest has been underesti-
mated some q. 600, 900 bushels. When such a
large underestimate is considered none
need be surprised that there is disappoint-
ment now among people who made such
calculations. The same causes produce the
present low values.

500 CHINESE DROWNED.
Disast; GUS Result of Storm in the
Chusan ArchineIuGO.

VICTORIA. b. c., June 9.-Meager par
ticuars were brought by the Empress of
Japan of a disaster which befell the fish
ermen of Chusan archipelago, off the coast
of China. On May g. 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 five hundred 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 time to seek shelter Their
they were left to fight hopeless battle
with the merciless waves. Those who es-
capped did so by good luck. The storm
extends across the mouth of Hanchow bay,
on the eastern coast of China. Several large
junks were lost, in which scores persisted.
