SHOWS THE WHITE, FEATHER
Swedish Omcer After Challenging an
American Fails 90 Appear
for Encounter.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July ia great
sensation has been caused In military cir
cles here by the conduct OF Captain Arvid
wester. who. after challenging an Amer
lean, William Casper. to tight duel, failed
to appear at the spot selected for the en-
counter.
The trouble arose at a performance last
night IN the Grand Arena palace. Wester,
who was In the full uniform Of a captain
on the general stan and wearing his
decorations, disturbed the seance Of n
mind reader. Casper, who is the manager
of the establishment, demonstrated with
the captain and demanded an apology.
This Wester refused and Casper said the
oficers conduct was ungentlemanly and
disgraceful
The captain then challenged the Amer
ican, who accepted and repaired to the
meeting place at O'Clock this morning
with his seconds, including the secretary
Of the United States legation, Joseph Muir
wester. who was a war correspondent in
Cuba and South Africa. failed to appear
and as a consequence will undoubtedly be
forced to retire from the army. Casper
has been the recipient Of many congratu-
lations.
Captain wester OF the Swedish army was
the military attache to the legation of
Sweden and Norway at Washington at the
time of the outbreak OF the war between
the United States and Spain. He went
through that war as he did through the
war between Turkey and Greece, He was

BALFoUR is IN THE CHAIR
New Premier Presides at the First
Meeting of the New
Cabinet.

LONDON, July 1.-THE premier, A. J.
Balfour, presided this morning in the For
eign office at the first cabinet meeting of
the new administration.
The colonial secretary, Joseph Chamber
lain, was sufficiently recovered from. the
effects of the cab accident to be able to at
tend. He was pale. but otherwise showed
no signs Of his injuries
The meeting of the cabinet gave fresh
impetus to the reconstruction reports. The
most interesting OF these for America is
the suggestion that the duke Of Marlborough
will succeed Lord Curzon of Kendleston as
vieeroy of India, but there is not the least
possibility Of any such appointment.
1t appears very doubtful If Lord Curson
will come home before the expiration Of his
term OF once. AS matter Of fact. there
is no appointment which could be offered
him. except the foreign office, which would
be a promotion from the viceroyalty of In
dia, and there Is no indication that Lord
Lansdowne has any intention of retiring.
Under no circumstances. however, would
the duke of Marlborough be given such an
important post as India, though he might
possibly succeed Earl Cadogan as lord lieu
tenant Of Ireland. All suggestions made in
regard to appointments are still Of a highly
tentative character. ..At. ,.,
