DUEL AFTERMATH.
Parisfans Are Greatly Excited over
the Royal Meeting.

New York, August 16.--A dispatch to
the World from Paris says: Paris is in
tensely excited over the royal duel, In
which Prince Henri Of Orleans was Sc
verely wounded by the Count OF Turin, a
nephew OF the king of Italy. The sale OF
evening papers on the boulevards was
almost unprecedented, while on all sides
knots of Parisians. gestioulating with even
more than customary energy, were dis
cussing and almost quarreling over the
matter. Happily the mood OF the Parish
ans changes quickly and often. for If tho
present temper were to last, International
complications would be unavoidable. The
French anger is further stimulated by
persistent reports that Prince Hcnr; was
inferior to his opponent in nerve more than
in workmanship and was completely over
borne by the violent and reckless onslaught
OF the Count OF Turin.
The opinion is said to have been express
ed by the counts seconds that Ii Prince
Henri had had proper selfControl no had
an opening in the second bout which should
have enabled him to put the Count OF
Turin hors du combat. The Count of Turin
also rs said to have overborne his antagou-
list by his desperate onslaught from the
Very opening of the encounter. Accord
ing to one account the wound In the alb
doinen. by which Prince Henri was dis
abled, was tho result of his own mnlag-
gresse In parryng fierce lunge OF his OPP
ponent. 1t is said that the prince col
lapsed instantly and that the count locked
in alarm until his surgeon approaching
asked to be permitted TO dress the wounds
on TURNS sword hand. which was bleed
ing profusely.
The swords used had been rubbed with
an antiseptic. but it is needless to say that
II Prince Henri had sustained wound
perforating the intcstines the danger OF
feritonftis is grave and will not have
passed for some days.
II seems to afford apprecable gratiGca-
ton to the average Partisan that the en-
counter was reality and not n sham
but was due to the earnestuess with which
the Count OF Turin entered upon 1t. not to
Henri. whose attitude in the duel as it
had been in the preliminary pour parlors,
was mainly defensive.
