BOTH FIGHTING MEN.
DominicI< OMaIley and c. Harrison
Parker Fight a Street Duel.


NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 1O-A des-
perate street duel occurred in front Of
newspaper row. on Camp street, This aft
e1noon, between Dominick O Malley, pl o.
prtetor of the Evening Item and a we'll
known promoter of sport, and G. Har-
rison Parker, state tax collector, chair
man of the Democratic state campaign
committee and editor -in-chief of the Del
ia, the antt-lottery organ. During its
continuance both were seriously, if not
fatally, wounded.
The trouble is SAID to have originated
over cartoon in the Item, last Sunday,
representing Col Parker as little dog
being led by a string by Gov. Foster, and
labeled "Me Too"
About o'clock this afternoon O'Malley
came out his office, accompanied by Par
son Davies, and had walked only a few
yards when Parker, who was across the
street cCnversing with some friends,
turned and saw him. He started owards
OMalley, and the men seemed to have
expected trouole, for both drew revolvers
at once and began firing, each continuing
until his pistol was empty
T?y the time the duel was over the men
were only thirty feet apart 1t was then
found that each man had been hit twice.
Parker received a ball in the side which
made a dangerous wound, and one in the
shoulder O'Malley was seriously wound
ed in the groin, and also received bull
let in the leg. A newsboy, fully a hun
dred feet away, was shot in the head by
one of O'Malley's bullets, but the ball did
not penetrate, and the boy will recover.
10th men are resting easily tonight, but
it is too soon to tell definitely as TO their
chances of rect very.
O'Malley has been in several shooting
affairs, and Parker wounded Maj. E. A

duel in 1882

MR.. MAZET ANGRY.
He Criticises the Manners of Certain
New York Officials.

NEW YORK, Oct 10-A war of words
between Register Isaac Fromme, Attor-
ney Frank Moss and Chairman Mazet
furnished the sensational feature of to-
days session of the Mazet legislative
committee. Fromme assumed q hostile
attitude toward Moss from the start,
Chairman Mazet came to the aid Of At
torney Moss and ordered the register
to answer questions. Fromme made an
angry retort. Then Chairman Mazet
said:
This Is certainly a most beautiful
display of the manners of the head of a
city department. 1t is in keeping with
the other heads. 1t is fine exposition
of manners, indeed"
Mr.. Fromme returned to the attack.
telling Mr.. Mazet that he (the chairman)
was not qualified to hold an investiga-
tion. He accused Mr.. Moss of airing
his knowledge of law and refused to dis
cuss academic questions There was
a further exchange of words between
Moss and Fromme.
Park Commissioner Moebus admitted
that the beer of the brewery with which

FINALLY ABLAZE.
BritOns Seem to Grasp Audacity of
TransvaaI UItimatum.

LONDON, Oct. 1o-The stoldity, if
not the placidity of the English charac-
ter was never better shown than 1t is
in London tonight when England is
face to face with war. Although it
was only $50 o'clock when Mr.. Cham
berlain's secretary handed to repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press the
first copy of the Transvaal ultimatum,
an hour later every evening paper had
the news. There was not trace Of the
excitement attendant upon the an
nouncement Of the result on the night
after the first race for the America 8
cup. 1t Is a fact that the enthusiasm
in London signally fails to compare with
that which was shown in the smallest
American city upon the announcement
of war with Spain.
But this must not be interpreted to
mean that England is not alive to the
realities of the situation The audacity
of the Transvaals dispatch momentarily
stunned the public, and it was only when
under the glare Of the music halls lights,
and listening to the stirring bars OF the
national anthem and other patriotic an
thems that the effect Of the rnomentary
apathy was lost and demonstrations made
that shook the rafters.
At the Alhambra Sir, Redvers Butler
Britannia" brought the entire audience
to It's feet, and for a quarter of an hour
the house resounded to the chorus Of ma
t.onal airs and warhoops.
Nor was the slowly aroused enthusiasm
confined to the theaters. At WoolWich
barracks, where a portion Of the army
corps had just returned from a sixteen
months service on the rock of Gibraltar,
the enthusiasm knew no bounds. Seldom
does Tommy indulge himself in the spirit
of enthusiasm, but the regiment had SO
lcng been undergoing period Of laziness
that it hailed the orders for active serv-
ice with shouts Of delight.
The first minister to speak publicly re-
garding the ultimatum was Lord James
of Hereford, chancellor of the duchy of
Lancaster, who, speaking at Aberdeen, to-
night, said
1.-The government has done everything
in its power to preserve: peace. Apparent
ly, however, diplomacy is ended, and the
hopes of peace are virtually dstroyd and
that not by the action of the queens gov
ernment, but by the T1ansvaal govern
ment. President Kruger has sent an ulti-
matum. If We were to withdraw our
troops at his bidding We should suffer
the greatest humiliation, and the govern
ment would deservel to be hunted from
office as craven towards.
Lord James said ne had intended, be-
fore receiving the news of the ultimatum
to take different view of the position,
but now nothing remained but to COM
mend the British cause to the God of
battle and arms, and fmplore His bless
ing upon the engagement about to be
entered upon. s
Lord James, whose rem arks were greet
ell with loud and prolonged cheers, con-
cluded by expressing the hope that the
war would be short and humanely con-
Quoted, and that when it was terminated
counsels of moderation would prevail as
to the way ir which the enemy should
be dealt with.

an emperor and imperialism as a
system or state Of imperial govern
ment.' Now, whatever else may happen,
the hands on the clock of history do not
usually go backward, and nothing is. an
tecedently speaking, more improbable
than that a nation which has delivered it
self from the rule of kings and the rights
of the few, as against the disabilities of
the many, will. being moreover people
that has adopted the principle OF uni
Versal suffrage, revert to a system which
takes away that privilege and RENTS

dividual, which is substantially the I'M

But, whatever may be improable
nothing is more. entirely possible than
that nation which still preserves the
forms of democratic government may In
time subordinate them to methods or It's
administration which, sooner or later, Will
bring the substance Of imperialism along
with them.
Setting aside what had happened or
would happen, he sought to show how
this might come about by assuming a
situation which he thought conceivable.
A foreign power had acquired a great
group of islands of which, practically,
it knew nothing. Some of them, how
ever, had been maintaining a long and
heroic struggle for freedom, and had
fondly hoped that their purchase by a
republic would be simply the prelude
to the achievement Of that end. Con-
tinuing, he said:
"Now it would seem at least reasonable
that the conquering or purchasing re-
public should inaugurate It's relations to
its new possessions by some conference
with its dominant peoples. But no. Its
first word is subsection. its first demand

ditions are: We will recognize nobody
we will treat with nobody. we alone will

DEATHS BY DROWNING.
American Army I'm Luzon Loses More
Men That Way Than by Bullets.

MANILA, Sept. (via San Francisco,
Oct. 10)-The army in LuZon has lost
more men during the past fortnight by
drowning than by bullets. All the little
streams which in dry weather are mere
creeks have become swift, wide rivers,
with unexpected and treacherous cur
rents and eddies. Ten colored soldiers Of
the Twenty fourth infantry were drown
ed at the Maraquina river on the 22d Of
August In a drift, exactly duplicating the
loss of five soldiers in the Pasig river
three months ago Soldiers are conveyed
across streams on bamboo RATS whose
motive power is a rope stretched between
banks In both cases the ropes broke, the
RATS were overturned and part of the
soldiers, weighted down by guns, haver-
sacks and heavy ammunition belts, were
unable to reach the shore. Private j.
E. Poole, of the Twenty-eighth, lost his
life in attempting to rescue his comrades.
The last of the bodies of the ten soldiers
were recovered from the river this week,
and all have been buried with military
honors.
Four men of the Third infantry sta
toned at Quingua, were drowned in the
Bagbag river before daylight on the
morning of the 18th, when the regiment
was starting against the forces of Pillar,
which were threatening the railroad near
Malolos. Corporal Peter Larson was the
hero of this accident. He was drowned
in a brave effort to save others. Lieut..
Chauncey B. Humphreys rescued sev-
eral of his men by great efforts, and was
himself nearly drowned during the work.
The regiment started from Quingua at
8 o'clock in the morning, and swan the
Bagbag river, carrying their guns, 140
rounds of ammunition and haversacks.
The river is wide and shallow, and most
of the distance was fordable, but the cur
rent had become so swift that many were
carried off their feet. Seventeen were
compelled to drop their guns to get across.
Corporal Larson had reached the farth-

er shore when he heard the cries Of the
drowning men, and plunged back, with
his gun still strapped to his back. He
carried one man of his company to
safety and turned back a second time He
was heard to say:
II don't think I can make it, but I will
try
He reached midstream and was strug-
Cling to bring out another helpless pri-
vate when both sank and were lost Most
of the men took off their shoes before
crossing, and marched and fought all day
in their socks, a most uncomfortable ex-
perience in the jungle country.
T.. J. Martens, of Leavenworth, Kan,
a private of the Twentieth infantry, was
drowned in the Pasig on the 23d. He was
boarding a schooner in front of the
office of the captain of the port when
a rope to which he was holding broke
and he fell into the river. He rose only
once, but as no help could reach him,
disappeared.
