DECLINES CHALLENGES.
Lieut.. Gov. Sanders Refuses to Fight
Donelson Caffery.

NEW ORLEANS, November 4.-Lieut.
Gov. J. Y. Sanders yesterday replied in
writing to what has been universally &C
cepted as challenge for a duel by Donel-
son Caffery, son of the late Senator Don
elson Caffery. Sanders declares himself
personally responsible for the utterances
which caused the trouble, and adds:
Il am prepared to meet that responsl-
bility and Mr. Caffery knows where to
find me.
Preceding this statement, two repre-
sentatives of each man in the dispute
held a conference, and Mr.. Sanders
friends declared firmly that they would
not accept a challenge in accordance with
the dueling code, because the lieutenant
governor who is candidate for govern
or, could not violate the state law making
dueiing crime. Caffery then scattered
handbills in many parts of the state, as.
sorting that satisfaction had been refused
him by Sanders. These handbills declared
that the lieutenant governor had labeled
as untrue some of Caffery's statements
made in supporting Wilkinson for gov
ernor against Sanders.
While it is not thought that Sanders
and Caffery will fight duel, it is feared
that friends of the disputants may be
drawn into a serious quarrel.

scented to preside over the international
congress of gymnasts which is to be held
in 1908 in the Belvidere courtyard of the
Vatican. The congress is being arranged
by the Federation of Catholic italian
Sporting Clubs. to whom the pope has
addressed an autograph letter encourag-
ing and praising their initiative and i'm
parting the apostolic blessing. 1t Is ex-
pected that all Catholic athletic societies
throughout the world will send represent
atives to Rome.
The organizing committee, in announc-
ing the forthcoming congress states that
the reunion in Rome has nothing to do
with politics. 1t constitutes simply an act
of homage and filial devotion to the SOW
ereign pcntiff who appreciates and en-
courages physical education. The exact
date for the meeting of the congress has
not been fixed. Il will depend altogether
on whether the present anti-clerical move

Italian, who left them when they went

NEW JERSEY IN DOUBT.
Katzenbach's Name Has DETECTED
Some German Republicans.

TRENTON, N. j.. November 4.-The
campaign In New Jersey virtually closed
Saturday night The only important con-
test is that for the governorship. which
was hard fought. John Franklin Fort, the
republican candidate, and Frank s. Katz-
enbach. jr.. the democratic nominee. con-
Quoted vigorous camapign, both speak
ing in all parts Of the state.
New Jersey is nominally republican. but
the. democrats hope to profit by republican
dissensions and a German detection in
favor of Katzenbach. The outcome of
the contest may fairly be said to be in
doubt The republican leaders claim Fort
will win by Fl 600 majority, while Katzen-
bach's managers declared their candidate
will carry the state by about 5000.
1t is expected that the republicans will
retain control of the state senate, but may
lose control of the house, as they did
last year. The complexion of the assem-
bly, VII depend upon the result in Essex
and passaic counties. which last year
were -arried by the democrats.
