At "A dinner given by the Oriental
association tonight former Foreign
Minister Kato, who presided, said he
deeply regretted that the people had

emperor declare war, the nation would
be found ready to give him unanimous
support
Count Okuma, the former PREMIER
said he agreed with the view expressed
by Mr.. Kato, and he thought II was
now high time to let the people know
the actual position occupied by the
government. He also declared that not
only feeling Of chivalry, but desire
for self-preservatIon required that
Japan should buttress the integrity or

Kelly Of American Embassy
TO Mortal Combat.
CHALLENGE WAS WITHDRAWN.
Trouble Arose Out Of Testimony Given
In the Fair Will Case
Hearing.

New York. Dec. 25.--Durjng the hear
ing of the Fair case duel has been
Imminent between DR.. De Chateau, O.

Paris dispatch.
The hearing on Thursday was held In
the house OF DR.. DE Chateau at YER
non, a village near Passy-sur- Urt the
place where the accident occurred
which resulted In the deaths OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Fair. DR.. De Chateau and DR..
Perrlquet had each testified that Mrs.
Fair had lived the longest, when Mr..
Kelly intimated that DR.. DE Chateau
was bankrupt DR.. Chateau was upon
his feet In an instant.
Sir he cried you have insulted
me grossly and in manner impossible
for me TO overlook. You must give me
satisfaction, and my seconds viii call
upon you"
The place was In an uproar, and for
time 1t was impossible to proceed
with the hearing, Friends of Mr. Kelly
and DR.. De Chateau interviewed and the
challenge was withdrawn, under pro.
test
IF the lawyers representing Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oelrichs are not

them from my house." Hardly had the
disagreement between DR.. De Chateau
and Mr., Kelly been adjusted before an
other arose between Mr.. Kelly and NJ.
t. Beekman, who represents the heirs
of Mrs. Fair.
I'VE have given Mrs. Fairs mother

that act on the part of our client as
having settled effectually any claim
Mrs. Nelson might have"
1.-THE Vanderbits have given my
client 100000 Of her own money and
have kept ss000,0OO of IT," retorted Mr..
Beekman, hotly. For moment It look
ed as thought there might be another
challenge to a duel, DR.. De Chateau
and Dr.. Perriquet both testified that
Mr.. Fair died first.

CATION is being made into the death OF
Mrs. Mary Relmer, a widow 45 years
old, who has been found In the back
