FOUGHT UNTIL EXHAUSTED.
Two Paris Journalists Evenly Matched
With Swords,

Special Cablegram to The Sunday Star.
PARIS. April S.-All differences between
two journalists were settled on the field of
honor this week in a secluded spot in the
Bots de Bologne. The contestants, named
Bautfer and Rouzier, were so evenly
matched that, although they fought for
over two hours, neither could tnflict SO
much as scratch on the other.
When the dueistS were completely ex-
hausted, and could hardly hold their
swords, the seconds interviewed and de-
clared that honor had been amply satisfied.

The admiral felt that Great Britain had
been too hasty in the rejection of cruisers.
He regretted also that she was postponing
the construction of battleship and an ar
mored cruiser, especially when she looked
around and saw her neighbors going for
ward steadily with their programs of naval
construction. He did not say that at the
present time Great Britain should not be
able to carry on a war with advantage,
but 1t would be far safer If she were to go
on steadily and keep well ahead of her
competitors.

The course which will be taken by the

STOCKHOLM, June 23--Wliat no one
had expected has happened.
The same people of Stockholm who
few days ago idolfzed King Oscar and
crowded the square in front OF the
Royal Palace for hours, cheering like
mad men, are now bitterly denouncing
the King because ne has done the only
thing he could do under the circum-
stances
1t is the willingness of King Oscar to
part with half of his domains TO avoid
civil war which has angered the ex-
c:tabie people of Stockholm If the
sentiment ruling here should be fndorsed
by the population outside of the metrop-
oils the present cabinet will Immediately
resign and the King, who has followed
the advice of the Kaiser and King
Christian of Denmark at the sacrifice
OF his own pride. will abdicate in favor
of the crown prince.
Excitement runs high here at present,
and patriotic leaders want great dem
onstration on the -Slotshom" indorsing
resolutions calling for war rather than
give up Norway. l do not believe. how
ever, that the Indignation of these hot
spurs Will last II will drown in the
overwhelming strength OF the masses OF

flee anything rather than shed the blood

that the United States and Japan now
