A RLOoDLEss DUEL.
The BanfFy-HoransI1i Affair Described
as IudicrOuS.

BUDA-PESTH, Jan. "a duel between
M Horansski, a member of the lower
house of the Hungarian Diet, and Baron
Banffy, the premier, took place this morn
ing. Pistols were the weapons used. The
duel was bloodess.
On the reopening of the Hungarian Diet to-
day Baron Banffy, the premier, was heartily
cheered by his supporters. The opposition
leaders, however, boldly announced their de-
termination to continue obstruction, SO as TO
render the transaction of public business inn
possible and to compel Baron Banffy to re-
sign.
LONDON Jan. A. The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: THE duel
between Baron Banffy and NJ. HoranSki was
a ludicrous affair. The seconds had ar
ranged q fight to the death at twenty PAGES
NJ HCranski, however, when he faced his
opponent, was agitated beyond all control,
and Baron Banffy was hardly more COM

M. Heranszki in a recent debate in the
lower house of the Hungarian Diet charac-
terized Baron Banffy as cheat and a trait

but the duel did not come off at the time
expected owing to the inability of their
seconds to agree upon conditions. The Sec

PoLYGAMY And PoLITIcs.

The question Of allowing Representative
elect Roberts. Of Utah, to take his seat in
the national House of Representatives in
wolves something more than a technical
question of constitutional law On this point
it is probably true, as ex-senator Edmunds
says, that the government of the United
States has no power to suppress polygamy
in State, and that it is within the legal
power Of Utah and every other State to
make polygamy Lawful if it chooses to do so.
Congress could and did prohibit polygamy
in Utah as a Territory, but the moment
it was admitted as a State the whole sub
ject as far as legislation or practice is
concerned, passed beyond the control of
Congress There has been no legislation in
Utah authorizing or recognizing polygamy
as legal, nor is there likely to be, but those
who are familiar with the situation say that
the practice is almost as prevalent among
the Mormons as it ever was, and that no at
tempt is made by the local authorities to
prohibit or punish it. That, however, is a
matter entirely beyond the control of the
United States and does not affect the ques-
ton Of the admission of Mr.. Roberts to his
seat.
Admitting Mr.. Robertss constitutional
right to a seat in the House, the question of
his expulsion after being admitted would
remain. The House has the constitutional
power by vote of two-thirds to expel a
member for any cause that it thinks Just
There is no limitation as to the cause Of
expulsion and none on the power or discre-
ton of the House except the two-thirds
vote. That, however, is practically prohib-
tory in this case, as Roberts is a Demo-
crat and the Democrats have indicated a
purpose to stand by him. AS the Repub-
licans will have only a small majority in
the next House, he could not be expelled
without large number of Democratic votes
and these cannot be had. So far. therefore,
as the constitutional and legal aspects of
the case are concerned, the Utah member
elect seems to be safe.
The moral aspect of the case is different
The non-Mormon ministers of Utah have
taken up the fight against Roberts and the
Utah Presbytery has issued a statement
which is pretty sure to attract attention
throughout the country, and perhaps in other
CouHtIieS OtdtenenlS ISSUED Dy other de-
nominations in Utah declare that polygamy
is both preached and practced by the Nor
mons, and that more celestial marriages
have taken place within the last two years
than previously since 1890. 1t will be a
national scandal if an avowed representa-
tive of this system is allowed to hold a
seat in the national legislature 1t will be
hard to make intelligent foreigners under
stand how the Constitution can operate to
compel the House to seat man who is an
acknowledged polySamist, thereby making
the Nation party to a practice that is pun
ished as a crime in all Christian countries.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 3.-The new viceroy Of
india Lord Curzon of Kedleston, and Lady
Curzon arrived here at o'clock this after
noon and were received by the government
officials and the military and civil authori-
ties at the Howrah station of the East In
dian Railroad. The volunteers and native
infantry furnished a guard of honor and
gave the royal salute. Lord and Lady Cur
zon were warmly greeted on alighting from
the train. They then proceeded in car
riages, attended by the personal staff, the
secretaries of the government and the Earl
of Elgin's aid-de-camp, escorted by the CAL
cutta light horse and the vice-regal body
guard, towards the government house. As
the procession appeared on the Hooghly
bridge a royal salute was Numbered from
the ramparts of Fort William.
The route was gayly decorated, the streets
were lined with troops and the housetops
were crowded with natives. The scene was
extremely effective and the Curzons were
delighted with the cordiality of their well
come. The guards of honor of the Govern
ment House were furnished by the Glouces-
ter Regiment and by the Calcutta Volunteer
Rifles, who gave a royal salute to the
Viceroy On the arrival of the latter at
Government House he was welcomed by the
LeIteHdHl governor at the LOU Oh me sfduu
staircase, which was crowded with civil,
military and government officers, consuls,
the representatives of foreign powers and
u number of native princes and noblemen.
The Earl of Elgin, the retiring vicerOy,
with his personal staff and the members
of the council received the new viceroy
at the top of the staircase and conducted
him to the throne room, after which the
troops withdrew. All present were in full
dress. the weather was glorious and there
was no hitch in the arrangements. All the
scenes We're most brilliant. The Earl of
Elgin will give a state dinner tomorrow
to Lord CurzOn and the latter will assume
the VicerOyalty at o'clock on Friday morn

A NEW YORK MONOPOLY.
Whitne, Vicate Now Controls Ed
isOn Ell e Illuminating Company.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-There is no longer
any concealment of the fact that what is
known as the Whitney syndicate has OBJ
tanned control of the Edison Electric Hum
mating Company of this city. George f.
Peabody, second vice president and director
of the Edison Company, admitted this to-
day, but would give no figures of the trans
action by which the combination of capital
lists, headed by William c. Whitney, has
effected the capture of the corporation
which, with the other Whitney syndicate
holdings, gives the syndicate a practical
monopoly of the electric lighting. heating
and motive power Of this city. The title of
the Whitney syndicate, which is composed
mainly of men who constitute the Metropolis
ton Traction Company is the New York
Gas and Electric Light, Heat and Power
Company. The great expense of maintaining
the vast electric plants necessary for the
operation of the electric surface lines in
this city, large proportion of the electric
product of which was wasted, led the Trac-
ton Company managers to consider some
plan by which this product could be utilized.
With this idea in mind they decided to go
in for substantial control of the whole busi-
ness. The purchase of the Mount Morris
Electric Light Company and a company
owning subway system, some time ago,
was made by the syndicate and it was then
announced through recognized spokesman
that the surplus electricity of the electric
light company and of the Traction Com
pany would be sold for light, heat and power
and distributed through the purchased SUBJ
way. 1t was at the time denied that the
syndicate had any thought of going further
at this time, that this expansion would pro-
vide the outlet required and that the extern
sion of the railway lines of the Traction
Company would provide the syndicate with
all 1t could attend to for several years.
The Edison Electric Illuminating Company
was organized Dec II, 1880, under the laws
of this State. The company owns and oper-
ateS six central stations in this city. In
1897 the company had 227 miles of ducts
$50 miles of conductors, S,711 customers, 3S2,-
81 lamps of 16-candle power and 1901 arc
lights. It's gross earnings were s.. 466 80 and
its net earnings 81 ~ 4q7

Inventors are not, as a rule, Of very bust

patents are strangers to the methods and TO
the language Of the country; some are IN
the rural districts, remote from postonces

are women, particularly among those who
seek patents for articles of dress or con-
venience. The conflicts over applications Tor
patents arise to a considerable extent from
the negligent disregard of the Patent Office
