PARIS, Nov. 13-Duelling and talk OF
duelIing has taken up good part of the
week Armand Suvestre and Henri
Bauer opened the series, the former going
off with a deep wound in the arm. The
encounter took place at Garches, and
arose over an article written by NJ. Bauer
in Echo de Paris, in which NJ. Silvestre's s
new play. Tristan De Leonois," was any
thing but kindly dealt with. NJ. Slvestre
replied with sarcastic article. headed
"Epitaphs" in the Journal, and for few
days both newspapers were very gay
reading.
Finally meeting was inevitable. so NJ.
Jean Beraud and NJ. Marcel acting for the
play wright, and NJ. Henri Becque and NJ.
Alfred Capus, for he Critic, decided that
their principals must work out their quar-
rel with swords IN their hands. 1t did not
take long to do this, No sooner had the
words "Allez. messieurs" been pro-
nouncedIthan NJ. Bauer rushed upon his
adversary and lunged at the risk of get-
ting himself run through the body. NJ.
Silvestre was surprised by this impetuous
attack; he had no time 10 parry, and re-
ceived a fairly deep wound in the arm.
The duel was, of course, Immediately
stopped. NJ. Sivestre was last losing
blood. Alter his wound had been dressed
the seconds, doctors and adversaries re-
turned TO Paris.
The second duel on the list was between
NJ. Al bert Care, director of the Vaude-
vile Th ater, and NJ. Servanine, editor of
the Evening Journal OF Paris, the cause OF
the meeting being an article published in
the Journal by NJ. Servanine on the private
life of the theatrical manager. The duel
was fought IN a small orchard at Enghein,
adjoning the villa belonging to the father
of Fabrice Carre, the playwright. The
fight was not of long duration. NJ. Care
almost 1t the very outset received wound
in the forearm. Before returning TO Paris
the adversar es made up their quarrel.
AnotherquarreI, also settled this week,
and which once promised TO develop into
a round OF half dozen meetings, arose,
said the Soir, over he striking of mem.
bers' names off the books of the Cercle
des Capucines. This by no means ex-
hausts the series, one OF the most port
ant of these that interested the public be-
ing caused by a discussion over me Drey-
fus case between two officers at the Cerce
Mi.itaire. This affair was, however, ar
ranged without a meeting, though the
press hints thai ii was only postponed.

CALL OFFICE, r IGGs HOUSE, |
WAsHIN GToN, Nov. 13
| Mr. Solomon, a m IN Der OF the banking
| Fl IN OF Speyer Bros. & Co. of New York,
was to-day in conference with President
| Mckinley and Attorney General McKenna
over the Central Pacific question. Speyer
Bros. & Co. represent the first mortgage
bondholders and Coils P. Huntington.
The purpose OF Mr.. Solomon's visit was to
arrange terms with the administration
for q settlement of the Governments
claim OF $63, ,C000 900 against the Central. 1t
has been reported for some time past that
the interest wa 10 be defauited on tie
first mortgage bonds maturing i'll Janu-
ary, and that foreclosure proceedings were
to be instituted.
Just what propositions Huntington and
the bondholders are advancing cannot be
definitely stated but 1t is known that
Huntington will make determined
effort TO have the $63, 600 00) claim scaled
down largely.
He has abandoned the hope Of having
reiundlng bill passed, but will eudeavor
10 obtain from Congress an expression in
favor OF taking tie amout OF the prin pal
of the debt-some $30, 900, ,000-ln ull set
tlement. He contends the Central is not
worth as much as the Union Pacific for
the reason that 1000 miles of the road runs
across a barren, non-supporting country,
over veritable "bridge' in facl, and tn al
it Is only valuable as q connection. Con-
gress will be pretty sure to take q hand in
whatever is done with the Central Pa cifio
but it can be assumed as certainty that
the President will make recommenda tions
in his rhcoming IN ssage based on what
he knows Central Pacific security olders
are prepared to do. He may aot fall in
with their ileas, but he Will have he ad-
