MET ON THE FIELD OF HONOR
DUEL BETWEEN TWO MEnBERS S
OF OLD FRENCH NOBILITY.
Count de rlortsequoin and Henri de
Regnier Battle With Swords,
Former Being Hurt.

PARIS. June 9.-All Paris is talking
tonight of duel with swords, fought
this afternoon between two members of
the old nobility, Count Robert de Mont
| sequoin and Henri de Regnier, at Neuil-
ly lie Valois, growing out of remark
| made by Mile. Heredia, the sister-in-
law of Regnier, a few days ago in the
salon of the Baroness Alphonse de
Rothschild
Mile. Heredia, who was with her sis
ter, Nine. Regnier, turned the conversa-
ton to a handsome cane carried by the
Count de Montsequoin, who stood near
her, and remarked that it was just the
sort of cane that might have been used
at the Charity Bazaar fire to beat the
ladies.
The Count, who overheard the remark,
interpreted it as an insinuation of cow
ardly conduct on his part toward women
at the fire. Immediately withdrawing
from the salon, he sent a challenge to NJ
de Regnier, who was escorting his wife
and sister-in-law, and at midnight his
seconds were appointed and prelimina-
ries for the duel arranged.
| On consideration the seconds of Reg
nier submitted to the Counts seconds
that the remark was one of mere banter
upon which the Count ought not to place
so serious a construction, and urged
that the matter be arbitrated
The Count de Montesquoin thereupon
twitted de Regnier with being afraid to
meet him and branded him through the
newspapers as a coward. This resulted
in a challenge from de Regnier, after
thraa Gou in + he 80
conflicting statements as to the precise
words used by Mile. Heradia and Nine
de Regnier, who has echoed her sisters
remarks. The Count de Montesquoin
| Immediately accepted the challenge
His seconds We're the Count Dion de
Montesqouin and Maurice Barres, and
M. de Rignier's We're Henry Goussaic
and Jean Beraud
The duel was fought in the presence of
George Hugo and the artist M. Form,
and Caran D'Ache. The combatants
attacked each other with the greatest
vigor, and for ten minutes fought to
kill. In the third encounter the Count
de Montesquoin was severely wounded
in the back of the right hand. The sur
geons then interfered, and refused to
allow the combat to proceed
The combatants, then withdrawing de-
clined even to bow to each other. The
affair has made a tremendous talk, and
it may prove the first incident in a
general boycott socially of number of
men who are persistently accused in
certain quarters of having displayed the
rankest cowardice at the Charity Bazar
fire.
NJ de Regnier did not take his first
lesson in fencing until after he had re-
ceived the challenge of the Count de
Montesquoin. He is a poet and a lead
er in the decadent school of poetry He
spent the whole morning in sorting his
manuscripts, which, after he had care
fully locked them in boxes, he sent to
his secretary for safe custody. This
evening he called at the Counts resi-
dence, but it is not thought a reconcilia-
ton has been effected.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-Warden
Hale of San Quentin came to town to-
day for the purpose of comforting with
Acknowledgement Fitzgerald as to his
position with regard to the execution of
Theodore Durrant, but after being clos
eted together for two hours both Off
Gals declined to be interviewed as to
the conclusion reached by them. Dur
rants attorneys profess entire uncon-
Germ as to what the State officials intend
to do with their client, claiming that the
Warden dare not proceed with the ex-
ecution after having been served with
notice of appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States, and threatening in
the event of Durrant being hanged to
proceed against the Warden and Gov
ernor upon charges of conspiracy and
treason. 1t is considered as very un
likely that Durrant will be hanged on
Friday, under the existing circum-
stances.
WILL BE RETRIEVED.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-Theodore
Durrant will be reprieved tomorrow.
Governor Budd has decided upon this
course in order to settle the question
of the rights of the Federal courts to
interfere in the execution of a sentence
imposed by the State Court. He has
named July 9th as the day upon which
the sentence shall be carried out
The object of the reprieve, as the
Attorney-General explained tonight,
is to avoid the necessity of resentencing
the convicted man. If the position
taken by the Governor be supported
by the State Supreme Court, the SEN
tence will be carried out on July 9th
just as it would have been Friday but
for the habeas corpus proceedings.
Tomorrow the necessary kilograms
ordering a stay of execution will be
sent to Sacramento by the Governor.
The position taken by Governor Budd
is that the habeas corpus proceedings,
and the appeal incident to the denial of
the writ sued out by Durrant's attor-
neys does not act as stay of proceed
ings. In other words, the Governor
desires that the Supreme Court pass
upon the opinion rendered by Attorney
General Fitzgerald holding that the
proceedings do constitute a stay.
Durrant is still in the condemned cell,
and until definite orders are received
he will not be moved to other quarters.
