CAUSE OF THE DUEL.
Prince Henri's Criticisms of Italian
Army Officers.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE duel grew out of
certain criticisms made by Prince Henri
of Orleans on the conduct of Italian Of
tcers and soldiers while prisoners of
Emperor Menelek in Abyssinia. These
criticisms We're published early in July
last in the New York Herald and Paris
Figaro and other newspapers for which
Prince Henri has been writing of his
travels in Abyssinia, which began last
February.
The particular statement to which the
Italian press and public, as we'll as the
Italian officers, took exception were pub
lished on July 1 last. The words of the
prince We're as follows:
Naturally the subject which was
most often discussed was that of the
war between the Italians and the
negus) and the captivity of the Italians.
| am bound to say that | am no longer
indignant but simply disguised at what
| heard each day about them. Out of
respect for Il nation with whom we
were friendly, | should have been silent
II the Italians had not shown. in regard
to ourselves. the most reprehensible
conduct. Have they not confessed that
They added moreover, with an ironical
air, that they would not have inflicted
the death penalty on the French women.
Events did not permit them to ac-
compliSh their wishes. Although they
came to the capital rs prisoners they do
not seem TO realize il. Some of their
officers were not ashamed to take part
in the celebration of the anniversary of
the battle of Adowa others wore rs cuff
buttons coins with the image of Meme

drinking toast to the health of the
great emperor, turned toward one of our
fellow countrymen and said:

the Frenchman replied: 'Mondiut, sir:

The same Albertone received from the
emperor Il music box which Menelek had
loaned TO him to amuse himself with.
On the departure of the general the mu-
sic box disappeared, possibly carried off
by some subordinate. The emperor
asked if people had the habit of doing
such things in Europe. Not every
where. was the answer he received.
1T seems that these Italians do not
have much confidence in their fellow
countrymen. The officers asked the

from his vacation last night he opened
court in the chambers and heard appli-

against Fred Dicher ct al, leaders of
the mining strike in Fayette county. In
each case an injunction was granted.
The order is in every respect identical
with the one issued upon the application
of the Monagh company against Debs
region on July %, and in every way
prohibits the defendants from trespass-
ing upon the property of each of the
plaintiffs or interfering in any way with
their property, business or miners. either
by trespassing or by using efforts TO in

MINERS Strike SITUATION
A QUIET SUNDAY - CUSTOMARY
MARCHES THREATENED IN
THE MORNING.
.Ey|CT|ONS OF STRIKERS COMMENCE
Household Goods Taken Out of
Company HOuses-Six InjunctiOns
Granted Against Strikers at
ParkersburE, w. Va.

Pittsburg, Aug. ia loaded sky and
ftful showers contributed to the feeling
of depression which existed at the
miners camps at Turtle and Plum
creeks today. The men huddled together
for shelter under the commissary tents,
and having nothing else to do, put in the
time smoking and discussing the strike
in all its phases. The spirit of aggres-
Siveness, however, has largely died out.
The same grim determination to stick it
out until starvation brings defeat or their
efforts victory is apparent, but there are
no propositions to attain their end by
force or to go contrary to the sheriff's
orders.
The men all realize that in opposing the
law as represented by the sheriff and
his deputies, they would have about the
same success as in butting their heads
against u stone wall.
They have no particular love for the
deputies, although there is an absence of
that caustic repartee between the fac
tons that has characterized former
strikes. There were no marches this
morning. There has been the usual Sun
day custom at all the camps, but even if
it had been otherwise the strict orders
of all strike leaders to wait quietly until
after Monday would have prevented
them.
Sunday has been usually used by the
men to do missionary work among the
working miners. None of them attempt
ed to see any workmen today, and kept
severely away from the cOmpany's
houses.
The march to Westmorcland county
will begin as soon as the injunction is
settled in court. Much anxiety is en-
pressed as to the outcome. The men
stake everything on their ability to show
the right to assemble and march on the
public roads.
There was large mass meeting at
Plum creek About 1000 strikers and
300 miners from the Plum creek mines
were present. Speeches were made by
President Ratchford, Samuel Gompers.
James II. Sovereign and local leaders.
The meeting was orderly and there was
no interference from the deputies.
There is possibility of the customary
march taking place in the early morn
ing, in spite of the strict orders issued
by President Dolan against such
course. Some of the men are fretting
under the restraint and Capt. Bellng-
ham. who is in charge of the camp, said
tonight that he had not decided whether
to allow the march or not. The dcpu-
ties are on the alert and say they will
arrest any one who may participate.
Evictions from company houses have
begun. One family has already been
evicted and their household goods are
on the roadside near Center. 1t is prob
able other evictOns will take place to-
morrow.

toincrs VIII Rise at the Proper
Time-An English Protest to

London, Aug. ia correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph at Luzerne has had
a long interview with Don Carlos on the
death of Canovas and Cuban affairs.
Don Carlos declared that the American
circumstances and hints of Intervention
were mere bellons d'essi, which ought not
to be taken seriously. He said that the
United States, if these attempts had been
resolutely repealed by the Spanish govern
ment, would have withdrawn its eXtrava-
CANT pretensons. What was wanted in
Cuba, he argued. was untinchlng severity
in REFRESHING rebellion, followed by gen,
erous concessions to local requirements ana
aspirations.
In conclusion Don Carlos declared:
THE Carlist movement in Spain mas
greatly increased in strength and disci-
pline during the last decade. | am in touch
with every branch of it, There will be no
more futile risings or causeless blood shed
ding, but when the time is ripe every one
will be ready to fight to death for the
throne"
