by Others.

Paris, Feb. 14.-Max Regis, the
former Mayor of Algiers, and anti
Semitic leader, took part in two duels to-

The first was fought with swords, his
adversary being M. La Basderque. it
grew out of a private controversy. In
the second encounter pistols were used,
and NJ. Regis exchanged shots with
Jacques Landau. Newspaper criticisms
were responsible for this quarrel.
The meetings occurred in the suburbs,
and were witnessed by a large crowd Of
people, including a number of women.
Before the first encounter NJ. Regis
shouted insulting defiance at his ad-
versary. The former was slightly
wounded in the right arm in the third
bout, and the affair was stopped.
M. Regis insulted M. La Basderque,
who named his seconds for another en-
counter, declaring that he intended to
kill his adversary the next time they
met. NJ. Regis also challenged the
master of ceremonies for protesting
against his insulting methods on the
field, but friends interviewed and
brought about a reconciliation.
The pistol duel followed Two shots
were unchanged without effect.

five deaths to-day.
A wealthy Chinaman, named Lee,

car bearing John Winder, general man
ager of the Kanawha and Hooking and
the Sunday Creek coal companies, and
Dan Hanna. son of Senator Hanna,
reached Columbus from Charleston, w.
Va, this afternoon. 1t was transfer

Mr.. Hanna and his party stopped

spent the time at his office in this city.
Mr.. Winder, when seen by an Asso-'
ciated Press representative, and shown
the story of the assault on Representa-
tive Caldwell at Charleston. w. Va,
this morning, said the entire story was
a fa1sehood, and that none of his party
was connected with it whatever.
1--WE did not even see Caldwell" said
Mr.. Winder. He stated that he had
stopped in Charleston overnight, and
came to Columbus to-day.
Mr.. Hanna told practically the same
story. He said he never saw Mr.. Cald-
well at Charleston, and was not at
banquet last night.
''They evidently got our party mixed
with another" said Hanna. GAS far as
the assault goes, know nothing about
it,"

Seminole Reported That Ice barred
Her Passage.

st. Johns, N. F., Feb. 1.-THE
United States revenue cutter Semi
mole, Lieut.. Sturtevant commander,
which left here at daylight this morn
ing for Bay Islands to rescue ice
bound American fishermen, returned
to Channel harbor this afternoon.
She was unable to get around Cape
Ray owing to the heavy northwest
gale, accompanied by a snowstorm
which blocked the ice against the land.
making it impossible for the vessel to
proceed to Bay Islands. She reports
that the coast is tightly packed with
heavy drift ice, and that nothing can
be done until the wind changes.
The local ice navigators believe the
Seminole will never succeed in her at

fishing schooners, laden with cargoes
of herring, which have been frozen in

KIMBALL SENTENCED
TO PAY A $1,000 FINE.
Judge Thomas Spoke on the Evils
of Decentralization.

New York, Feb. 14.-Judge Thomas.
in the United States District Court to-
day, sentenced William II. Kimbalb
former president of the Seventh Ma
tional Bank, to pay. fine of $1,000 for
conviction of generalization of
checks drawn to II. Marquand & Co.
II. NJ. Rose, the former paying teller
of the same bank, had sentence sus-
pended.
The fine was paid by Kimball.
The minimum penalty which could
have been imposed was $4,000 fine or
five years Imprisonment, or both. In
passing sentence Judge Thomas said
that not the slightest moral turpitude
had been found to attach to either de-
PENDANT, nor was either shown to have
made any personal gain. Rose was
teller, doing what the president told
him to do. He was a man of good
character and was still retained by the
bank. kimball, the judge said, had
taken the whole burden upon himself.
Judge Thomas spoke of the high re-
gard in which Kimball was still held
by his former business associates, and
said he knew of no moral stain at
tached to him. The Judge did not think
Imprisonment was required.
On the subject of over-certifcation
of checks, Judge Thomas said:
Disaster may or not result from
oVer-certiication. Congress regards
the practice as hazardous and it is not
for the court to enforce the law ac-
cordingly as 1t finds it harmful or 9TH
erwise in a particular case, nor does
the fact that disaster has been meas
urably retrieved remove the necessity
of punishment.
The cases of Decentralization in
the city of New York on any business
day have been abundant. 1t is GUS
tom; it Is a part of the everyday
banking history. Seldom is a bank
wrecked by it. That losses result this
court has no opportunity of learning.
But the practice is vicious in the eyes
of the law. 1t is dangerous for the
bank certifying and those receiving
the checks"
The charge on which the bank Of
ficials were convicted was the out
come of the collapse of the Seventh
National Bank in June. 1901. 1t was
found that the bank had systematic
ally oVer-certihed the paper of the
brokerage firm of Marquand & Co.,
and that the shrinkage in the value of
the firms collateral left the institu-
ton a loser in the sum of 81. 400, 900.

AMERICANS WILL
REMEMBER THE MAINE.
Exercises Will BE Held To-day in
Havana.


Havana, Feb. 14.-Differences of
opinion exist among the Americans
here as to the propriety of holding me-
mortal exercises at the wreck of the
United States battleship Maine to-mor-
row, the fifth anniversary of her de-
struction. Some of them believe it is
impolitic to hold the exercises in for
eign port and where so many Span
iards reside.
Mr.. Squiers has declined the invita-
ton of the committee, which called on
him to-day and asked him to be pres
ent. Mr.. Squiers took the ground that
while such exercises were appreciate
and proper in themselves, the posi-
bility of giving offense to those who
are now friends of the United States
by stirring up memories of the past
ought to be avoided. The legation,
therefore, will not be represented.
President Palma informed the COM
mittee that it would be inadvsable for
himself and the Cuban officials to at
tend the memorial exercises.
The committee members say the ex-
ercises will not be ostentatious or Of
fensive and will consist simply of a
memorial service in honor of those
whose lives were sacrificed at the time
of the disaster.

C0RTELY0U WILL BE
DEPARTMENTS HEAD.
William Loeb, Jr., VIII BE the Pres
ident's Secretary.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon signed the
bill providing for a Department of
Commerce, thus concluding its enact
ment into law. The signing of the
measure, creating what promises to
be one of the most important depart
ments of the government, was attend
ed by no ceremony.
1t is understood that George B. Cor
telyou, secretary to the President, will
be appointed secretary of the new de-
partment. His appointment will be
sent to the Senate early next week,
perhaps on Monday, and it is likely
there will be no delay in its confirma-
ton. 1t is not improbable that, in
anticipation of the enactment of the
necessary supplementary legislation,
the President may send to the Senate
very soon the appointments of some
of the important officials of the new
department The transfer of the ex-
listing bureaus will not take place for
mally until the close of the present
fiscal year, June 30.
Coincident with the qualification of
Secretary Cortelyou as the secretary
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, William Loeb, Jr., will enter
upon the duties of secretary to the
President. Mr.. Loeb is at present first
assistant secretary to the President.
B. F. Barnes, now assistant secretary
to the President, will take up the du-
ties now performed by Mr.. Loeb, and
the President will designate another
man, not yet selected, to take Mr..
Barnes place.
AS soon as Secretary Cortelyou be-
gins the work of organizing the new
department he will take up with the
appropriations committees of the
House and the Senate the details of
the legislation necessary for the main
tenance of the department.

the Legislature from Ohio county here

The other men had been at a club
during the night, so it is charged. They
were on their way to the Kanawha
and Michigan depot and wanted a

w. Va.
The affair has caused a very great
DC ~ a
requisition will be made on other states
for the return of all parties impli-
Gated.
Representative Caldwell is resting
we'll under the care of physicians. He
was badly hurt and may lose one eye.
1t is announced that the friends of
John H. Winder in the coal business
here secured countermanding of the
messages for the arrest of the parties,
and that their private car went over
the Ohio river bridge at Point Pleas

rants were sworn out by Capt. ]. B.
White.
Winder represents the interests of
J. p. Morgan in Ohio and West Vir-
ginia, and all the coal operators here
pleaded to have the order of arrest
rescinded. Winder is here frequently
on business, but it was the first visit
of Hanna and the others.
1t is stated that Caldwelps friends
will offer a resolution in the House of
Delegates, inquiring into the reasons
for the Kanawha county officials coun-
demanding the order for service of the
| warrants. sa.-

DEMANDS OF POWERS
SHOWN IN PROTOCOLS.
Germany and Italy Both Want Cash
Payments.

Payments.
Washington, Feb. 14.-With the con-
sent of the British ambassador, Mr..
Bowen to-day made public the full
text of the British protocol, which
was the first of the three conventions
signed last night.
The Italian and German protocols,
while different in phraseology, contain
the same provisions, with one of two
exceptions. Where the British proto-
col stipuIates that the $4,000 shall be
paid in cash upon the signing of the
agreements, the German and Italian
protocols provide for the payment of
this sum in thirty and sixty days, re-
spectively, from that date. The terms
of the protocols have been fully cover
ed in press dispatches.
The British protocol provides for
reference of claims to a mixed
tribunal, consisting of one Venezuelan
and one British member, with the
President of the United States as UNI
pire in case of disagreement; for the
reservation by Venezuela of 30 per cent.
of the customs receipts of La Guayra
and Puerto Cabello, and in case or
failure to carry out this undertaking,
Belgian officials will take charge of
the customs; for a new arrangement
respecting the external debt of Vene-
zuela; for a renewal of existing trea-
ties with Venezuela; for the raising of
the blockade and the restoration of the
captured Venezuelan vessels.
The German protocol, in addition, pro-
vides for the payment to Germany of
$780, 900, and the Italian protocol for the
payment to Italy of 2,S10,255 bolivars.
1taly's protocol contains a provision for
most favored nation treatment now en-
joyed by the other allies.
At a conference at the British en-
bassy this afternoon, another impor-
tant addendum was signed, reading as
follows:
we interpret our three protocols to
mean that the 80 per cent. referred to
therein of the total income of the Gus
toms houses of La Guayra and Puerto
Cabello, shall be delivered to the rep
resentative of the Bank of England at
Caracas, and that the said 80 per cent.
is not assigned to any one power, but
is to be retained by the said represen-
tative of the Bank of England in Ca
racas, and paid out by him in conformi-
ty with the decision rendered by the
tribunal at The Hague"
Cablegrams have been pouring in
upon Mr.. Bowen from Venezuela, con-
graduating him upon the success of his
mission. The first to arrive was the
one from President Castro. Leading
German and British firms in Venezuela
have sent congratulatory kilograms.

FLAMES RACED FIERCELY.
One BOY Burned to Death and Others
Injured.


Pittsburg, Feb. 14.-One person was
cremated, two fatally hurt, two others
seriously injured, and seven buildings
totally destroyed in a fire which visit
er Tarentum, Pa, a village twelve
miles north of here, early to-day.
The names of the victims are:
Ray Craig, aged II. years, cremated
while his father was trying to rescue
him.
Injured: D. ]. Craig. burned about
head, face hands and body, also hurt
while jumping from second-story win
dow: will die.
Mrs. d. ]. Craig, inhaled smoke and
flames, and was injured by jumping
from window: will recover.
Hope Craig, aged years, daughter
of the Craigs, burned about face and
body; also skull fractured by falling
from second-story window; will die
Sherley Craig, daughter, aged 10
years, burned about face and body,
right arm and leg broken by jumping
from window: may die.
The fire had its origin in the Craig
residence, which stands in about the
middle of a block of frame houses on
Fifth avenue. Each of the houses
had the first floor occupied as a store,
the living rooms being above and in
the rear. Starting in the Craig house,
three buildings on either side were
completely destroyed.
When the Craig family was awaken
ed, the only escape was by the second
story window. Mrs. Craig dropped the
girls from the window, while her hus-
band tried to rescue his son, but be-
fore he could reach the house, the en-
tire house was enveloped in flames and
the parents were forced to abandon
the boy and jump for their lives.
The fire was caused by an over
pressure of natural gas. The property
loss was about $50, 600
