THEIR TALKED-0F DUEL WAS A
BLOODY REALITY AND HEN
RI WAS BESTED.
All Paris In The ThrOeS Of Intense
Excitement Over The Thought
That An Italian Duke
Shall Best A French.
Prince.


the World from Paris says:
Paris is intensely excited over the
royal duel in which Prince Henri of
Orleans was severely wounded by the
Count Of Turin, nephew of the King
of Italy. The sale of evening papers
on the boulevards was almost UMPIRE
cedented while on all sides knots of
Parisians, gesticulating with even
more than customary energy,were dis
cussing, almost quarreling, over the
encounter.
Although the Republicans would
fain content themselves with the re-
Election that Prince Henrps overthrow
has killed Orleanism for a time,
French pride, irrespective of party. is
deeply hurt by the Italian princes
victory. Happily, the mood of the
Parlsians changes quickly and often,
for if the present temper were to last
International complications would be
unavoidable.
The French anger is further stimu-
lated by persistent reports that Prince
Henri was inferior to his opponent in
nerSe, more than in workmanship,
and was completely overborn by the
violent onslaught of the Count of Tu-
rim.
Opinion is said to have been eX-
pressed by the counts second that if
Prince Henri had had proper self con
troll, he had an opening in the second
onslaught which would have enabled
him to put the Count of Turin Eors
dcombat.
The Count of Turin also is said TO
have displayed more than his usual
skill and literally to nave overbornc
his antagonist by his desperate on
slaught from the very opening of HE
encounter.
According to one account the would
in the abdomen by which Prince Hen
ri was disabled was the result of his
own maladresse in parrying fierce
lunge of his opponent.
1t is said that the prince collapsed
instantly and that the count looked in
alarm until his surgeon approached
and asked to be permitted to dress The
wounds on TURNS sword hand, which
was bleeding profusely. The swords
used had been rubbed by an anticep-
tic, but it is needless to say that if
Prince Henri has sustained wound
perforating the intestines the danger
of peritonitis is grave and will not
have passed for some days.
1t seems to afford appreaciable
qualification to the average Pa risian
that the encounter was a reality and
not a sham, but that was due to the
with which the Count of
Turin entered upon it; not to Prince |
Henri, whose attitude in the duel, as |
it had been all along, was mainly de-
fective.
: Gen. Albertone and seconds still
claim that the duke mus meet him
again when he is restored to health.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Successful Suitor Cold Blooaedly Muir,
dered BY. \ Jealous and
Ffendfsh Rival.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Vincent Sizika
was fatally shot and wounded in the
head by Joseph Boedesick, his ursuc-
cessfull rival for the hand of 14-year-
old Bronislarza Zuzarek, while the
two men with two other acquaintanc-
es, We're at the young woman's house,
making arrangements for the mar
riage, which was TO have taken place
within a fortnight
Both men for some time had been
paying attention to the young girl,
but she and her father too, seemed to
favor the suit of SiZjka and Cwo
weeks ago it was agreed that he was
to be the husband of the girl. When
Boedesick was told of the decision he
apparently did not take the matter 10
heart much and when he met the sue
cessful suffer afterward shook his
hand and congratulated him. Because
of this apparent good feeling 2cede-
sick was among those who were ask
ed to the home of the girl last even
ing to complete arrangements for the
wedding
The crowd was conversing pleasant
ly and the prospective bride and
groom's health were drunk repeated
ly. When the company dispersed Vim
cent and Joseph went together arm in
arm. They were Joined by the other
men of the company and had proceed
ed but a short distance down the
street, when it is said, Joseph was
handed a revolver by one of the others
whereupon he shot his rival. The
wounded man fell to the ground I'M
conscious, while the others fled. Bron-
islarza had gone to her room in the
second story of the little frame cot
tage, but her father and mother re-
manned below to see what the visi-
tors were up to. They heard the shots,
cries and hurrying footsteps Run
ming to the door they found Vincent
lying as he had falling and carried
him into the house just as his betroth-
ed came down the stairs to learn the |
cause of the confusion. Then the two
women took charge of Vincent while
Ignatz ran to the police station to tell |
the police. The wounded man was
taken to the hospital, his sweetheart
riding with him in the abulance.
Although the officers worked all
night IN the search for the murderer
he could not be found.

WANTS A RECEIVER.
Legion of Honor Said to Need a New
Manaopmpnt

Management.
New York, Aug. 16.-The Herald
says:
1t is announced in Jersey City that
papers had been filed in the United
States court in Boston in behalf of
James Mcnamara, of Jersey City, for
temporary receiver for the American
Legion of Honor. The petitioner asks
that the receiver shall take charge of
all moneys paid in assessments by
members of the order, and that the
Legion of Honor be enjoined from
separating moneys received by it from
former assessments as is now done.
The bill sets forth that when Nc
Namara became member of
the Legion of Honor each lfe
insurance claim was charge
of all moneys received
from assessments and the number of
deaths regulated the number of as
sessments of the order. That on Dec,
5, 1895 charge was made and per-
sons holding certificates were divided
into two classes and that the money
received from each class was held sep
arate and was charged only with the
payment claims to which the moneys
belonged, thus changing the object of
the organization without the assent
of the mebers who made the contracts
and also increasing the number of as
sessments.
The filing of this petition for the APP
pointment of receiver of the Legion
of Honor, is a continuation of the old
fight which has been made by so many
of the members. More than year ago
sixteen councils or branches of the or
ganization in this city and Brooklyn
seeded before of the increasing num-
Der of assessments. There were in
these branches about ten thousand
Germans. They contended that the
assessments were made so frequently
that they were unable to bear the bur.
den.
The American Legion Of Honor was
| incorporated in Massachusetts, the
basis of a mutual benefit plan. Mon.
eys received from the assessments
were put in a common fund.
Mr.. Mcnamara says in his petition
regarding the increase in assessments:
MY assessments have so increased
since the PRONUNCIATION of the. order
that they have almost quadrupled in
number and l am unable to pay the
same"
Recently the Americans Legion Of
Honor began suit against two of the
seeding councils of this city to re-
cover sick benefit funds which had
not been turned over to the Supreme
council after the branches had seced-
ed. Members of the branches say that
the Supreme council is not entitled tn
the sick benefit funds because it never
had any jurisdiction over them.

DEAL WITH MEXICO.

1t is announced in the City of
Mexico that the Government has
made a contract with a syndicate of
which one Of the R~othschilds is Pres
ident to COLOMBO Mexico and pay the
public debt. The syndicate agrees to
take a million European colonists to
Mexico within a specified time. 1t
is to be allowed 500 for each family
and given lands free. 1t is also to
receive one-third of the
which amount to about $4,000, 900.
and all * public lands are to be
Withdrawn nom the market and held
for the c%olOnists.
In consideration of these favors the
syndicate is to assu1n the payment
of the Mexican public debt, which
amounts to about $500, 600 900, and
guarantee its payment.
The principal object Of this deal be-
tween the Mexican Government and
the European syndicate is said to be
to prevent the ABSORPTION of Mexico
by the United States. If consum-
mated it will prevent American
colonists from buying lands, as the
syndicate will prohibit the sale O,
any public lands to Americans after
the contract goes into effect.
The contract is said to have beer
approved by the Mexican Govern
ment and there is no reasonabl,
doubt of it's immediate consumma
ton. An agent has left the City o
Mexico for London to submit the con
tract to the English company fo
ratification.
Some years ago a proposition wa
made to purchase the states O
chihuahua, Sonora, and Sinalo
of Mexico and annex them to tn
United States. Mexico did not favo
the proposition and it was not press
ed. Now it is proposed to max
another Canada of Mexico and hav
British possessions north and SCutl
of the United States.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
Cubans will accept autonomy of
Spain, but We fear they neve will,
because first, they do not believe in
SPANS sincerity, and second, they
know that such an offer would never
have been made had not Spain been
first convinced of the absolute im-
possibility of ever subduing the
island again to her rule. The situa-
ton there is deplorable beyond de-
scription. The island has been DESC
lated, and such c1uelties have been
perpetrated that there cannot for
years be any healing of the bitterness
which prevails. There will be the
confiscation of estates, no matter
which side wins, and vindictiveness

Hawaii is undoubtedly one OF the

very slender military power, among the

she reminds one OF Switzerland, or Of
the still smaller republic o -Andorra, In
the Basque provinces OF northern Spain,
which continues to this day as. a self
governed territory, free from monarch
ism. The army Of Hawaii numbers only
