Under Secretary of stnte Snrrnut Seriously Wounded in Duel
 With Deputy.

Paris, July 15.-The scene of tumul- tuous disorder which marked the en- actment Friday of the law restoring Alfred Dreyfus to the army was fol- lowed by bloody duel Friday night in which Under Secretary of State Sarraut was dangerously wounded by the sword of M. Pugliesi-Conti. The duel assumed the aspect of verita ole combat between the government and the opposition as M Sarrauts seconds were Ministers Clemenceau and Thomson, while NJ. Pugliesi- Con- ti's were M. Millevoye and Gen. Jac- luei, who were drawn from the ele- ments which bitterly resist the gov srnment's rehabilitation of Dreyfus.
 The meeting followed a fight on the floor of the chamber of deputies in which M. Sarraut sprang from beside Minister of the Interior Clemenceau
 fitting on the ministerial benches, on M. PugliesiConti, who had been heap ing dos.unciation on the members of the government as scoundrels. Sar- raut struck Pugliesi-Conti stunning blow in the face. A scene of the wild est uproar ensued, compelling the sus- pension of the session. It was after the close of the session that the duel occurred. The late reports show that M. Sarraut is suffering from deep wound in the right breast, penetrating the lung. While the wound is consid- cred to be serious, it is not seriously dangerous.

FLEET WILL NOT GO.
Has Been Postponed ut Request Of Cxnr's Government.

St. Petersburg, July 14.-The visit of the British channel fleet to Russian waters has been postponed until more propitious time
 The initiative in this decision came from Russia, which pointed out that the projected visit had been wei comed with lively satisfaction by the Russian government which saw in It an expression of sympathy for Russia on the part of Great Britain. Unfor- tunately, it is added, certain political parties in Great Britain and Russia fornented a sharp agitation with a view to connecting the visit with ques- tions of Russian internal policy. The firm and loyal statements of the Brit ish minister for foreign affairs, Sir Edward Grey, brought the question back to it's proper ground and was ap- preciated at St Petersburg at it's pro- per value. Nevertheless, in view Of the political crisis which is passing over Russia, the government could not help foreseeing that the arrival or British ships at Russian port might cause recrudescence of the agita- ton and incidents of a nature to harm the future relations of Great Britain and Russia.
 Most cordial telegrams have been ex- changed between King Edward and Emperor Nicholas.
