The remarkable sight Of load of water

attracted considerable attention. and nearly
every passer stopped to take good look
at them: The sale Of the melons. however,
was rather slow. due largely to the fact
that most white people were afraid to eat

An american Duel" Mt Heidelberg.

From Science.
During my residence in Heidelberg la
mentable and terrible affair took place tina,
threw profound gloom over the uniyer-
sity and the entire town. Two German
students having quarreled decided the earth
was not large enough for both of them to
live in. and resorted to the diabolical prac-
tice called the "Americal duel" In a dark
ened room the two young men drew lots
having sworn that he who drew the black
ball would commit suicide. The unhappy
loser went to his room and DISCHARGED a
bullet into his breast, but missed his heart
and fingered for several days on his death
bed; his parents were summoned bv tele-
graph and besought him on their knees 70
disclose the name of his antagonist. but he
steadfastly refused and died with the Sc
cret in his breast The students not only
excused his conduct. but praised his co,r-
age, and when his remains were taken TO
the railway station to be Transported TO
distant city they accompanied the
funeral cortege with torches and music.
The students claimed he was not a suicide
for he was killed in an honorable duel. and
they maintained that his opponent was NOT
accessory to his death because he shot
himself: I had many arguments with them
and never could convince them of their ex-
traordinary regeneration.

fairs in the legations intimates that
they are no longer proceeding ON the
theory that all the foreigners are dead.
1t shows, however, that active prepar-
ations have begun.
No general report of the mlitry con-
dtons ut Ticn Tsin has been received
from Major General Chaffee, but Sec
retary Root said today that General
Chaffee knows what to do without any
further advice from Washington, and
explained that he would go ahead as
soon as he felt justified in doing so.
Many suggestions are being received
at Washington, such as that the AL
lies be kept at Tien Tsin. Most all
of the suggestions were made on the
basis of compromise. IF you don't
advance, we will continue to protect
the ministers, and If we do thus ana
so, we expect you not to commit any
hostile act.'
The government declines, however,
to consider any of these propositions
seriously The purpose of the United
states is TO rcscuepAmeriapns and the
ministers in China and to restore peace
in China. The Chinese know that If
any harm befalls the legation pGoSie'
it will have heavy score to settle
with the United States. Ha
