diately upon their arrival in communica-
ton with his seconds-Count Nicolas
Leontieff, Governor General of the
equatorial provinces of ETHIOPIA, and
Raoul Mourrichon, his travelling COM
panions. At the first meeting an en-
counter was regarded as inevitable, and
by common accord the following condi-
tions were decided upon: Weapons used
TO be dueling swords, each combatant to
use that of mis- own country, but blades to
be of equal length. Either com batant
may maintain the ground he gains and
each will be allowed space OF fifteen
meters with which to advance or retire.
Each assault will last four minutes and
the com bat will be resumed in the posi-
tions occupied by the combatants and
will only terminate on decision to that
effect by the four seconds or on advice of
the doctors when one OF the adversaries is
manifes,ly in a state of inferiority. The
conduct of the meeting will be entrusted
alternately to the two parties, lots being
drawn at commencement
This arrangement was made OWN 6 to
the objections of Prince Henry to intrust
the direction of the encounter to fifth
party. At a meeting on the same day the
Bois des Marechaux was chosen for the
encounter and the rendezvous was fixed
for clock the next m morning."
The report then formally announced
that the meeting was held as arranged
and continues:
1.-The combat lasted twenty-six minutes
with five assaults, NJ. Leontieff and Avo-
guado di Quinto being alternately um-
pires.
"In the first assault Prince Henry was
hit in the right breast, though the weapon
did not penetrate beyond the subcutane-
Gus cellular tissue. On the report of the
doctors the seconds decided that the COM
bat should con tinue.
1.-THE second assault had 10 be stopped
owing to the com batants coming to close
quarters. In the third assault the Count
of urin was hit in the back of the right
hand, but the weapon did not penetrate
beyond the subcutaneous cellular tissue.
"In the fourth assault the umpire de-
clared that Prince Henry's sword was
bent, and, stopping the engagement, fur
nished his Highness with a new weapon.
Gin the fifth assault the com batants
again got in close quarters, and were i'm
meoiately stopped. Prince Henry, in a
counterblow, was hit in the right lower
region of the add omen, and the umplres
stopped the assault. The doctors on both
sides examined the wound and declared
that Prince Henry was thereby rendered
clearly inferior to his antagonist. Count
Leon Jeff and E. Mourrichon proposed
that the combat be stopped. This was
done by common accord.
'After the encounter and while his
wound was being dressed Prince Henry,
raising himself from the ground, held out
his hand to the Count of Turin, at the
same time saying: Allow me. Monseig-
neur, to shake hands with you The
Count then shook hands with Prince
Henry. The doctors present were MN.

POLITICAL SEQUENCE.
1t May All Depend Upon What the
italian Government Knew OF
the Dual

ROME, ITALY, Aug. 15.-It remains to
be seen what the political sequence of the
duel will be. 1t Sc ems beyond doubt that
the Government was kept entirely in the
dark in regard to the affair, although it
is stated in some quarters it was fully
aware of what was going on and vainly
tried to prevent the duel. Much depends
on whether King Hum bert was cognizant
or the duel.
Despite the assertions that his Majesty
acquiesced in the challenge 1t is not GER
tain that he did so. 1t seems that the
Count of Turin, who was treated as a ward
by the King, is dashing young blood,
very prone to escapades, and his uncle
finds IL difficult to control him. 1t is de-
clared be sent the challenge secretly and
that the King only learned OF it
when it was too late to prevent its deliv-
cry. 1t is also said the Count, who is a
major OF a crack cavalry regiment, went
to France without leave from his military

They were well matched. Both were in
capital condition and both expert swords
men Each felt he was fig ting not only
for himself, but for MS country's honor.
Hardly had the rapiers been crossed
when Prince Henry attacked his oppo-
nent with the utmost energy, but in a
moment it was Turin who was assuming
the offensive. He thrust with great skill,
putting his adversary on his mettle.
Eventually the Count hit the Prince in
the r light breast, which brought the first
engagement to a close. The doctors
speedily examined the injury, and agreed
in pronouncing It so slight. skin only
having been cut, that the Prince was not
impeded in any degree from resuming
the combat.
The encounter which followed was car
rled on with even more vigor than the
former one, for the Princes attacked each
other with such energy that they had
presently arrived at close quarters, and
corps. a.corps' not being recognized or
permitted, they were separated.
The third encounter was very exciting.
There was sharp struggle at the close, IN
which Turin was slightly hurt in the
right hand. Again were the doctors at
work examining the injury, though the
Italian Prince maintaine it was of no
Importance, and continually argued with
them that they allow the fight to con-
tinue.
The fourth engagement was even more
vigorously conducted than its predecessors
On both sides the attack was renewed
with an amount of energy which consider
ably i'm pressed the spectators, as they
were making every effort to keep their
anxiety and agitation under control. The
Prince, with cleaning eyes, thrust and
parrled with lightning rapidity, and soon
there was moment of breathless sus-
pense when the point of Prince Henry's
rapier struck the top button of his oppo-
nent's trousers and was turned so that
another weapon had to be substituted
Had it not been that the button was there
to parry the thrust, Turin must inevita bly,
have been run through.
The hottest of all was the fifth and final
encounter. so closely did they press each
other that once more the engagement had
to be interrupted. Scarcely had it been
resumed when Prince Henry received a
wound which put an end to the'duel. A
thrust from his adversary's rapier caught
him in the right SIDE of the abdomen, and
Count Leontieff. who had been directing
the fight with the utmost impartiality,
brought the encounter to an end.
The Princes injury was examined by
the doctors, who without the slightest
hesitation, declared it was too serious to
admit of rene wal of the fight.

ing a Sunday morning service for contri,

church work. The ushcrs distributed blank
