 Sword Duel.

Paris, June 27.-In the chamber Of depu- ties today M. Paul Oroule, founder of the so-called League of Patriots, and mem Der for the Angoulem division of the Charente, introduced a proposal for a revision of the constitution with the view of substituting a popular for a parliamentary republic" and demanded urgency for his motion.
 Premier Waldeck-R Rousseau opposed the proposition, and asked that the motion be referred to a committee. M. Deroulede requested permission to speak, but the president of the chamber, M. Deschanel, refused to allow him to do so.
 M. Lasier, anti-Semite member, accused the premier of having recourse to subter- fuge, and a violent tumult ensued. Sew eral of the deputies tried to speak, but their voices were drowned and the presi- dent was compelled to suspend the session. When it was resumed urgency was pro- posed for M. Deroulede's motion, and was defeated by vote of 391 to 70.
 As a result of an altercation in the cham Der of deputies between M. Berteaux, so- cialst, and M. Millevoye, republican and nationalist, these two deputies will fight a duel with swords tomorrow

RESOLUTION TO DROP TAIL BINDERS
Forced by Goebel Supporters and Stone Was First to Succumb-Hardin Could Not Control Enough
 Latter's Strength to Win

Louisville, June 27.-Willam Goebel who, with an iron grasp, has ruled the demo- cratic state convention since it assembled nearly a week ago. was nominated for gov ernor on the twenty-sixth ballot after contest unparalleled in this stsate for bit terness and determination or on the part of the winner for skillful manipulation. The end of the long, exhausting fight brought seasonable degree of harmony to the factions which have been waging the fight relentessly and battling fer every inch of ground Nearly everybody joined heartily in a demonstration when the can didate appeared for the first time before the convention to accept the nomination and return his thanks.
 The Goebel forces held the opposition closely down to business all day, forcing continuous balloting, defeating them when they showed signs of weakness and sought a sine die adjournment, compelling a vote on a proposition to drop the hindmost man on each ballot after the twenty-hfth and came out of the final struggle of strength shortly after 10 o'clock with colors flying. Stone was dropped on the twenty-ffth bal lot and Hardin proved unable to control enough of Stone votes to win. The scenes during the last ballot were dramatic, though not exciting as many of the del egates had participated in personally.
 Get Together and Win
 Speeches were made by Congressman Wheeler, Judge Tarvin and other managers for the three candidates, and the theme of all was "get together and win."
 1to cIrh speech-malng with a few words of exhor- tation. He praised the nominee warmly, and expressed confidence in the success of the party in November. He paid his re- spects to ''the few scattered remnants of the Indianapolis convention and urged his hearers to fall in line for Bryan and silver in 1900."
 The convention then adjourned until o'clock tomorrow morning, when the ticket will be completed.
 A morning session of the convention was held at which six fruitless ballots were taken. After a recess until o'clock two more ballots were taken with result all most exactly like the first taken Saturday night. This made twenty-one ballots in all, the last one resulting: Stone, 399 Hardin, 355; Goebel 338. Everybody was getting thoroughly tired of the monotony of roll calls when relief, though 1t proved to be only temporarily, came in the shape of a resolution offered by Ben L. Hardin. a brother of the candidate for governor, pro- viding that the convention adjourn sine die and that the state central committee be empowered to take any action necessary to place a ticket in the field for the campaign of 1899. The Goebel managers were on their feet instantly.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 27-Twenty thousand people today saw one of the most exciting four-mie boat races ever witnessed in the history of college rowing. Five thousand people on the observatio train yelled themselves hoarse in frantic appeals to their various college crews to do their best, and with the other 15,000- they saw the red and blue carried over the line, winner, by short half length, from the Wisconsins, who lost in the last two hundred yards by bad steering. Cornell, the victor of former years, pulled a full four lengths in the rear and Columbia was never in the fight after the first mile and trailed in a good three lengths from the stern of the Cornell boat.
