During an acrimonious debate IN ths
house shortly before the civil war MI.
Potter Of Wisconsin made some very
sharp structures on Mr.. Pryor Of vir.
gtnia. The result was challenge from
Pryor to fight a duel, which Potter
promptly accepted, naming as terms
bowie knives at Eve PAGES, terms
which be we'll knew Pryor would not
dare to ACCEPT, as he was q small man,
while Potter was a large, powerful
man and familiar with the use OF the
bowie knife. Pryor declined on the
ground that the proposed terms were
beneath tas dignity OF a gentleman to
accept and 90 the matter ended But
on the day following the challenge.
while the result was still unknown,
both Potter and Pryor were absent
during roll CALL and when Potter's
name was called a Quaker member
rose and In mild voice said, "Mr.
Speaker, Am Informed that the gen.
tleman from Wisconsin bad Prior en-
gagement" And when Pryor's name
was called a moment later be rose
again, saying, "Mr. Speaker, l hear
that the gentleman from Virginia has
gone to be as clay in the bands OF the
Potter"

DON JAIME EXPECTED
TO HEAD REBELLION
carIists Are Attempting to Take Over
. the Leadership in cataIopia-
. Discomfort Deep Seated.

CERBERBE FRANCE, SPANISH
FRONTIER, July 31.-Spanish refu-
gees arriving here say the Carlists
are attempting to take over the leader
ship Of the movement in Catalonia,
and that Don Jaime is expected TO
place himself at the head Of the re-
bellion.
The refugees explain that the Gaia
lonians who are the mos; industrious
people in Spain have long complained
that they were extraordinarily taxed for
the benefit of other regions. and that
the discomfort is deep seated. They
say the Catalonions have not shown
opposition to the war in Morocco but
only to what they regard as an ex'
petition for the benefit OF private in
terests which entails the useless ex-
penditure OF life and increased taxa
ton.
The refugees declare that the lead
ers Of the movement have exploited
the discomfort among the people and
have directed the movement against
the monarchy and the church.
1t is asserted that CatalniO. former
" the most devout Catholic province
in Spain, has now become the center
OF free thought.
