Prince Henri Of Orleans and the Count Of
Turin to Fight Duel.

between Prince Henri Of Orleans and
the Count OF Turin will take place to-
day in the vicinity Of Paris, probably at
Chantilly or Fontainbleu. The condi-
tions are severe. The Count of Turin.
1t apears. left Italy without the au-
thority OF his superiors or the permis-
sion OF the minister Of war. The duel is
the result Of the charges made by Prince
Henri against the italian army and its
officers in the campaign in Abyssinia.
As soon an the officers got home after
their captivity in Abysinia they drew
lots for a challenger Of the prince. He
refused to fight the one upon whom the
lot fell because he was not his equal in
rank.
Finally challenge was accepted from
General Albertone. Of the Italian army,
and Just as arrangements were ready
for the duel The Count OF Turin arrived
In Paris and insisted that he should be
the Italian representative. Prince Henri
OF Orleans found the challenge OF the
Count Of Turin on his arrival at his
fathers house in the Rue Jean Goujon
and Immediately tslegraphed his ac-
ceptance. General Count di Quinto and
Marquis Carlo Ginori will act as Sec
Onds for the Count of Turin.
London. Aug. 1.-THE Rome CORE.
spondent OF the Daily Mail says: "On
its becoming known that the Count Of
Turin had left Italy to meet Prince
Henri of Orleans, there was a lively in
terchange Of kilograms between King
Humbert, the Marquis Di Rudini, the
Italian premier, and the Italian embassy
In Paris. 1t is feared that international
complications may arise"
Rome. Aug. 14.-It is said that King
Humbert has sent dispatch to the
Count Of Turin and another to Prince
Henri Of Orleans severely censuring the
"boyish hot-headedness."
London. Aug. 1.-THE Paris eorre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Il understand that the Count of Turin
sent a challenge to Prince Henri before
General Albertone did. 1t is reported
that King Humbert approves the duel
between the two princes on the ground
that it will bring the quarrel to a def
mite Close"

EX-Secretary Foster Is believed to be
meeting with a large measure of success in
eminent additional measures of protection
for the seals in Boring While he has
not yet reported that the British have
formally consented to participate in an in
ternational conference. with this object in
view. the unofficial advices indicate that
this is about to be accomplished.
The eX-Secretary has secured powerful
assistance from the great London skin
dressers. who handle all of the sealskins
taken in the North Pacific and Bering sea
and prepare them th"y can he nowhere
else prepared for use in garments. These
merchants are fully advised As to the pros

of the sealeries, so it is regarded as
strengthening Gen. Fosters case very
State Department, they affirm the correct
ness of the conclusions reached by the
American Expert Jordan, and by inference
reject those of the Canadian Expert
Thompson.
The issue between these experts, shortly

tons. and the American finding was in the
Affirmative If General Foster has paved
the way for an information conference to
protect the seals he has secured the most
Urgent of the demands made by goy-
eminent, but there is still no evidence that
the British government is willing to enter
into "A modus vivendi to save the seals
