 Mortal Nature.

Paris, Jan. 4.-News of a duel be- tween two French officers, one of whom was seriously wounded, is being circulated here.
 The principals were Lieutenants Spitzer and Andreal. at one time close friends, and the scene of the affray was near Versailles. Regulation army re- volvers were used and the agreement permitted each of the combatants to fire as many of the twenty-five cart ridges with which each was provided as he could.
 The principals went to the scene of the duel in automobiles and the pre- Iiminares were quickly arranged. The men were placed about thirty metres apart and fired at the word. After six shots had been exchanged, Lieutenant Spitzer dropped hls revolver and fell into the arms of his seconds. When the injured man was taken to a nearby habitation it was found that he had been seriously wounded In the abdo- men.
 Lieutenant SpItzer, who Is now said to be in a private hospital in Paris. is the son of a St. Petersburg banker. He left home about Ii o'clock Wednes- day morning, the day of tho duel, mak- Ing no sign that he contemplated en- gazing in serious affray.
