ceau, sitting on the ministerial bench,
and on NJ. Pugliesi-Conti's, who had
been heaping denunciation on the

a singing blow in the face
A scene of the widest confusion
ensueu, compelling the suspension OF
the session. 1t was after h close OF
h session that the duel occurred.
Late reports show that M. Sarraut is
suffering from a deep wound in the
right breast, penetrating the lung.
While the wound is considered to be
serious. 1t is not necessarily fatal.
Despite this sanguinary conflict laws
were finally enacted Friday by the
chamber of deputies reinstating
Dreyfus. who obtains the rank Of q
chief OF a squadron Of artillery, and
Picquart, who is made a brigadier
general. Both houses were over
whelmingly favorable to Dreyfus n
Picquart. Throughout the day feel
ing was stirred intensely between the
Dreyfus and anti-Dreyfus elements.
This was heightened by fierce attacks
by Dreyfusites against Gen. Mercfer
and other prominent officers, who
were responsible for Dreyfus' ON
~demnation.
