the Russians and British. over the con-
struction of a railroad siding i'll territory
claimed by both. will probably be solved
by the withdrawal of both the British
and Russian troops from the ground in
the dispute.
The officials of the British foreign
office have not yet received official con-
firnation of Russia's alleged backdown
in regard to Manchuria, Turlistan, and
Mongolia, and inquiries on the subject
are now being made in ST. Petersburg
and Pekin.

Commons to-day the Government did not
possess any Information indicating any
decline in British influence III the Yang
Use province. AS to the Russian claim
for the waters of Blonde and Elliott

LONDON, March 1S.-In the House of
Lords to-day the Premier, Lord Sails
bury, replying to inquiries on the subject
of an investigation re~ the conduct of
the war in South Africa. said the Gov
ernment had not made any promise to in

the Government was urged To make an
inquiry. it could not refuse without cast
ing suspicious upon the army
Lord Roseberry wished to know when

whiS occurred in Louisiana. The az.
fair was between NJ. Marigny. who be.
longed to one OF the oldest families of
Louisiana, and a Mr.. Humble. a sturdy
ex-blacksmith OF Georgia, who had be.
come man OF political consequence.
NJ. Marigny took offense at some re.
marks of the Georgian and sent him n
challenge. The big ex blacksmith was
nonplused.
Il know nothing about this duellne
business" he said. II will not fight
him."
"You must" said his friend. "No
gentleman can refuse"
81 am not a gentleman" replied the
honest son of Georgia. II am only n
blacksmith"
but you will be ruined If you do not
fight" urged his friends. "You will
haze the choice OF weapons. and YOU
can choose so as to give yourself au
equal chance with your adversary"
The giant asked time in which TO
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting He sent the following reply
10 NJ. Marigny:
Il accept, and In the exercise Of my
privilege, | stipulate that the duel shall
take place In Lake Pontchartraln. in
six feet of water. sledge hammers to
be used as weapons"
NJ. Marigny was about Eve feet, eight
inches in height, and his adversary
was seven feet. The coucclt Of the
Georgian so pleased NJ. Marguy. who
could appreciate a joke as well as per.
petrate one that he declared himself
satisfied, and the duel did not take
