DEATH CF ZOLA
 CAUSES A DUEL
GEN. PERCIN AN0 GASToN POL. LoNAls, PROMINENT FRENCH MEN, FIGHT WITH SWORDS AND THE LATTER IS WOUNDED.

Paris, October 6.-The death of Emile Zola was the indirect cause of a duel to- day between General Percin. chief of the cabinet of the minister of war, and Cas- ton Pollonais, a well-known nationalist writer, who was responsible for the state- ment that General Percin met Dreyfus at Solace and shook hands with him. The general in his letter replying to the dues- tion of Count Boni de Castellant on this subject, described M. Pollonais as a renegade Jew, and also told the count he did not admit the latter had any right to judge his actions. M. Pollanais then challenged General Percin, and they fought with swords near St. Cloud today. The general was slightly wounded in the hand.
 The duel occurred on the estate of Col onel Picquart's brother-in-law. M. Cast. It lasted twenty-five minutes. and both men fought vigorously. M. Pollonais was pricked in the arm in the first encounter. General Percin's sword broke in the fifth round. The general received his wound in the hand in the seventh encounter A vein , and a tendon were severed. The doctors then stopped the duel.

 New Orleans Trouble Now Up to Company

The union considered the proposition and rejected it. and further. the press com mittee issued a statement that the sub committee was not authorized to act for them. The mayor waited until 6 o'clock for the reply of the union and not re- ceiving any sent the letter to the com pany to run it's cars
 The Mayor was asked what would be the outcome if the company failed to run its cars He replied that 1t would then be up to the city council to con- slider whether 1t had forfeited Its fran chises In the meantime preparations are going forward to place the police in a position to protect the barns from which the cars will be run. The first att street barn and seventy policemen will be stationed there tomorrow morning. Cars will also be operated from the Fry lania and Arabella barns.
 Late in the afternoon the attorneys for the company had the suit for receiver filed in the civil court Friday transferred to the United States court on the ground that the railway company is foreign corporation, incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. As neither of the fed eral judges are in the city now that de- fers action on the suit until the Novem- Der term of court.
 Wire cutting was reported from several points today and several people saw two men cutting telephone wires, but they got away before the police reached the scene.

RAILROAD MEN ON
 STRIKE IN TEXAS
FlREMEN, SMITH ENGINEERS AND HosTLERS OF TEXAS, MEXICAN WoRK-TRAINS DELAYED.

Laredo, Tex, October e.-The strike of the firemen, switch engineers and host lers of the Texas, Mexican and National railroad of Mexico, which was inaugural ed yesterday, is still on. At noon to- day the firemen, switchmen and hostlers walked out on strike at Monterey and Saltillo, Mex.
 Thus far only the regular passenger trains, which carry mail have gone out. and all have been badly delayed. An eff fort, 1t is said, was made today by one of the officials of the riad to do some switching in the yards at Nuevo Laredo. but the fact was reported by the firemen to the Mexican authorities, who immedi- ately had him removed from the engine they holding that according to the Mexi- can law no one holding a master engi- neer's certificate could be permitted to run an engine.
 The only act of violence thus far re- ported was the forcible ejectment of the master mechanic of the National machine shops, from an engine.
 The impression prevails that unless the trouble is ended within twenty-four hours the engineers and conductors may strike. Not freight train has been moved since the inauguration of the strike yesterday.

DIES FROM PISTOL SHOT.
Hamp Hanson Succumbs to Wound
 Received September 24.


 Anniston, October 6.-(Special )-Hamp Hanson died yesterday morning from a pistol wound received on September 24. The bullet from the pistol entered just above the heart, in the left side, and 1t is thought it passed through both his lungs, the place where the bullet came out in his right side being in a direct line so as to pass through the lungs. His death was very sudden and was quite shock to his many friends, who thought yesterday that his condition was improved. About l o'clock yesterday morning he was struck with pain and awakened his mother. but death relieved his sufferings in a few minutes, before his physician arrived. It was thought Saturday that he had passed the danger line and the sudden change in his condition Sunday morning was very unexpected The physicians think the direct cause of his death was the burst ing of an artery that was ruptured by the pistol shot. The funeral will occur this afternoon from the residence. His assail- ant has not been caught and the police have a very small description of him other than he was a brown-skinned ne- gro.

BRYAN COMPLIMENTARY.
Says Roosevelt Should Be Commended
 for His Recent Efforts.

Lincoln, Neb.. Octber 6.-In state ment made tonight w. J. Bryan says President Roosevelt should be com. mended for his efforts to settle the miners strike. A1e suggests, however, that since the operators decline to arbitrate, the Presidents hands are tied, and urges him to call an extra session of congress.
 Five measures, MT. Bryan says, should be recommended for passage, Summarized, these are, in MT. Bryans language:
 "A law establishing national board of arbitration, consisting of to members, to consider and report on all controversies between corporations engaged in interstate commerce and their employees; law abolishing gov. ernment by injunction; law that will discriminate between the natural made man created by the Almighty and the corporate giant created by legislation; law taking the tariff off coal; a law which will prevent rail roads engaged in interstate commerce. from operating coal mines, except for the purpose of supplying fuel for their own engines"

While many propositions have been under discussion 1t Is almost certain that the administration is taking up only one plan at a time. The present plan is that outlined in the Associated Press dis patches Saturday and Sunday and con- templates an end of the strike by the ac- tion of President Mitchell and his asso- ciates and full Investigation of the min ing conditions later.
 No hope Is entertained that anything can be accomplished through the coal operators, since the attitude they took at the conference Friday. Should the move ment now on foot fail there seems to be no other plan which presents a feasible solution of the serious problem.
 While 1t Is generally believed that Pres ident Roosevelt has sent a direct appeal to MT. Mitchell, there was no confirma- ton of such action obtainable at the white house.

Washington, October s.-There was only one development of character in the coal strike situation today. Frank Sargent. commissioner of immigration, and for many years chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firmen. had long interview with President Roosevelt today and left Washington very soon afterwards.
 MT Sargent indicated that the inter- view concerned the coal strike, but he would not discuss the matter. From the iaet that he always has been influential with labor organizations it is generally believed that he is entrusted with a mes- sage to President Mitchell of the miners union. It is also said that MT. Sargent is 10 meet Mr Mitchell in Philadelphia and deliver the message of the President, urg- Ing that the miners end the strike in the interest of the public
