WlTTE NOT TO FIGHT
A Duel with Kuropatkin Averted
by Explanation.

ST. Petersburg. April "a duel be-
tween Count White, the former Premier,
who represented Russia in the peace
negotiations with Japan at Portsmouth,
and General Kuropatllin, former COM
mander in chief of the Russian forces in
the field, has been averted through an
explanation by the former.
General Kuropatkin took offence at a
speech in which Count Witte asserted
that the modern Russian military COM
manders were lacking in moral courage
and were prone to blame others for their
own failures. The general accepted the
reference as a personal insult and sent q
challenge. Seconds were appointed by
both men. but afterward the count ex-
pressed regret that his spoken words
were such that the general could con-
slider them as referring 10 himself, and
said that his remarks were intended
merely for general application. In send
ing the communications exchanged to
the newspapers the seconds say that the
incident has been satisfactorily settled.

The other piece WAS bought by Mr.. Hope

known as the Hope diamond.
At the death Of Mr.. Hope st was pur-
chased by a merchant who sold II to an
American jeWeller, who took it to New

prosper the blue diamond was brought
