Prince De Sagan Was His
Opponent Yesterday
IN A CHURCH QUARREL
Anna Gould Says That she will Issue
a Statement Bearing on the Case,
Much to the Surprise Of
the interviewer.

Paris, Jan. 3.--Count Jean De Castel-
lance to-day denied that he or his broth
er, Boni, struck Prince De Sagan in yese
terday's fracas He sticks 60 his story
that though canes were shaken, ugly
epithets exchanged and Boni spat in his
opponents face, no blows were struck.
lie says that the cut in the prince i
forehead was probably caused by fall
when, retreating before Boni he missed
his foting on the curb and rolled in the
street The De Castellanes charge the
prince with endeavoring to twist the
story so that the matter viii seem one
for the courts rather than for the field
of honor.
The boulevards are now eagerly await
ing the written statement which Nine.
Anna Could said that she would give
out to-day through her attorney. In
teryiewers who called on her yesterday
after the fight, expecting a refusal to
talk or expression Of disgust, We're sur
prised to learn that she had something
she wished to say, but wanted time to
prepare it properly for publication.
Prince De Sagan has on several ouca-
sions been reported as engaged to marry
Nine Gould
The meeting between the two occurred
at the Church Of st. Pierre de Chaillot
while service to the memory of Lady
Stanley Errington, relative OF both
men, was in progress In spite Of the
denial Of the story Of an actual encoun.
ter, it is said that there was a rough
and-tumble fight in the gutter with
Count Boni holding down the well-nigh
insensible prince. while Count Jean ad-
ministered punishment When the po.
lice arrived, butcher was holding the
combatants, both of whom were covered
with mud.
When seen last night, Count Boni had
declared that the episode had nothing
to do with Nine Anna Gould, but was
the result Of an old grudge between him
and the prince. He added that the prince
had not been invited to the ceremony
at the church, and he was, therefore,
surprised to find the prince sitting three
feet in front OF him. Count Boni said
lie took no notice of the prince during
the service, which proceeded without in
cident until the elevation Of the host,
when the prince rose.
Prince He'll said he regretted the Incl
dent principally because the name of
Nine. Gould had been dragged in.
IF the Count de Castellane's attack
upon me was caused By my visits to-
Nine. Could he said, 1T seems strange
that he objects to these visits nov,
when he did not object before the d.
vorre.s
The prince emphatically stated that
he was not engaged to Mime. Could
He said that be would willingly fight
a duel if there was honorable provoea
tion incidentally mentioning his prof
cheney as swordsman, but under the
circumstances he intended to allow the
law to take It's course.
While there has been an estrangement
between him and Count Boni, he said
he had no reason to anticipate the at
tack.

the way" he said. ~in order to effect

METALLIC INFLUENCES
 ON STOCK MARKET
Copper Industrial and Mining Shares Affected by Decline of Copper and Lead.

New York, Aug 12.-Backers of ac- tive operations in the stock market were too much occupied today with various devices of leadership manipu- lation to pay much attention to the news of the day. There was a re- action in the price of copper on New York metal exchange after successive advances of a fraction at a time for many days past.
 Copper warrants in London were al- so lowered. This added to the fever lshness of the shares of companies con- nected with the industry which has been in a highly nervous state ever since the sensational stage developed in the Boston speculative campaign The decline of silver to a level lower than had been. touched in five years vast was an incidental influence to the group of mining and metal stocks as Ia whole. American Smelling, AmaI- gamated Copper and aNtional Lead were violently affected by an early break of prices today. Followers of the movement are convinced that the shake down is under careful control designed by the reaction of yesterday and early today. This led to a strong rebound. Bonds were irregular.
