America were such as to please him very
much. The friendship was most natural.
Two countries bound by ties of blood speech,
government, commerce and unity of aim,
could not fail to be allied. Though greater
statesmen and lawyers than he had advo-
Gated Il, none did so with more warm per-
sonality and interest. (Applause)

SIX DUELS PROBABLE
CHALLENGES GROWING OUT OF BAR
ON BANFFY's RECENT QUARREL.
Seconds of the Hungarian Premier
and vi. HOranszlzi Anxious to Shed
Each Others Blood.

BUDA-PESTH, Dec. 27.-The quarrel be-
tween Baron Banffy, the Hungarian pre-
mier, and NJ. Horanszki, member of the
lower chamber of the Hungarian Diet. is
likely to have further curious developments.
Although, owing to the inability of their sec
onds TO agree on the conditions of the pro-
posed duel. the encounter has been declared
off, the affair may lead indirectly to several
meetings on the field of honor NJ Horansz-
Xxi and his seconds having heard that the
seconds of Baron Banffy have been animal
verting on the conduct of M. Horanszki,
have sent challenges to both. Baron Banffy's
seconds are Baron February minister of ma
tional defense, and M. Gajasi, of the Cham
Der of Deputies. AS each has received three
challenges, there are six duels being ar
ranged.

He Says the Soldiers Are Republican

LONDON, Dec. 2S-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail telegraphs his
paper the substance of an interview he has
had with General Zurlinden, military gov
ernor Of Paris, who denied the existence of
any military conspiracy against the replb-
lic According to the correspondent Genera.
Zurlinden said: Il believe there is no plot
and there will be none, because the army is
republican to the core. We seek no dicta-
tor The name Napoleon may be music to
our ears but we are the nations servants
and our duty is to France. The army, like
the majority of the nation, believes Drey-
fus guilty; but a declaration of innocence
would not induce the army to turn against
the republic"
Other special dispatches from Paris say
that in view of the daily preparations for a
coup de'etat the revolutionary socialists
have organized a vigilance committee in
each district, charged with the observa-
ton and detection of the anti-republican
movement. Counter preparations are also
being made. officers of the high ranks in
the army are said to have been sounded
On the subject of a coup d'etat, but the
results are said to have been disheartening.
Thirty French officers have been arrested
and all sentenced TO TOUR udyS imprisonment
for subscribing to the fund started by the
Libre Parole, to enable Nine. Henry to meet
the expenses of her contemplated prosecu-
ton of Joseph Reinach, editor of the Re-
publique Franchise and Conservative deputy
for the district of Digno, for declaring her
late husband, Lieutenant Colonel Henry, a
traitor.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily News,
Mrs. Emily Crawford, says she has reason to
believe that Dreyfus will leave Cayenne, cap
ital of French Guiana, South America, for
France on Jan. 8.
The French premier M. Dupuy, the min
lister of war, M. De F'reycinet, and the presi-
dent of the Court of Cessation, NJ. Loew,
have finally agreed on the conditions under
which the secret documents in the Dreyfus
case are to be submitted to the Court of

Gardner of this city, secured the decision at
the end Of twenty rounds over Frank Brad
ley, of Philadelphia, tonight at the Met
ropolitan Club Bradley played a defense
game throughout, and until the nineteenth
round gave a tiresome exhibition of trying
to avoid mixing it, In that round he let
out, which was just what the Omaha Kid"
had been waiting for and as soon as Brad
ner's swing on his jaw sent the Philadel-
phian to the floor 1t looked like he was
out. but he got up, only to go down from
another swing. Referee Leslie Pearce had
counted "nine" when Bradley arose. He
was weak and slipped to the floor twice
later in the round, and Gardner had him all
but out when the gong saved him. Bradley
went on to stay the twenty rounds with
Gardner. His blocking was good, but he
was very awkward. Over one thousand
people witnessed the contest.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: Had the
war with Spain lasted a short time longer
it is probable that the United States flag
would now be floating over the Caroline
islands, as the navy, from the time of Rear
Admiral Dewey's victory, was anxious to
take this group. The islands would prob
ably have been taken anyhow. but for the
fact that Secretary Long, by direction of
the President cabled Rear Admiral Dewey
forbidding him to do so. Officers of the
Eavy still hope that some way may be found
of acquiring these islands. which, 1t is be-
lieved Spain would sell for a reasonable
compensation. They do not want any other
ration to obtain the power to establish coal
ing stations and naval bases there.
