AGED FIRE EATERS
DUEL OYER WOMAN
Swords Too Heayy-Use Pis-
tOls-BOth Hit.

st. Petersburg, March 24-Two ancient
fire eaters. both on the verge Of the
grave. have just fought a fierce duel at
NikolsS Ussiorski. and although both
were wounded. their bloodthirstiness is
not yet satisfied
Prince SubatoT. ninety-one years old.
and Wjarjanln. ninety-three years of
age. a member OF a noble family, were
the combatsnts.
They are the owners Of adjoining es-
tates, and had been good friends
for half a century Lately they were
in the habit of meeting daily at the resi-
dence Of Nine. de Jansky, an attractive
widow Of forty years. and this proved
the undOing OF their friendship.
Prince Subatof the other day called
Wjarjanin an empty-headed coxcOmb, and
declared he ought to know better than to
firt with a young woman when he had
one leg in the grave. Wjarjanin retorted
that he was young enough to avenge an
insult. and duel was arranged. II was
arranged at first that they should fight
with the swords they had used as officers
in the Russo-Turkish war, but these were
found 10 be too heavy for their strength,
SO pistols were chosen.
Prince SubatOfs right thumb was shot
away on the first fire. He promptly trans
ferred the pistol to his left hand and
lodged a bullet in his opponents shoulder.
Then the seconds stopped the duel and
had the irascihle mona genarians taken
home and put 10 bed. where they are re-
covering. Each insists that his honor is
not satisfied. and that they will fight
again.

ticket for the minority members Of the

fight
The men named by the caucus last
night are Clark, Of Missouri; Fitzgerald.
of New York: Underwood. Of Alabama.

While the idea advanced in the first
Norris resolution, providing for new
committee. which is expected to take
away from the Speaker his power 10 con-
troll legislation, was that members Of
this proposed new committee should be
selected from a geographical point OF
view, adherence TO this was not expressed
IN the substitute Norris resolution which
was passed. Il is a fact, however, that
geographical considerations have been
given weight in the selection OF both the
Republican and Democratic nominees for

Catania, March 24.-New craters
are forming on Mount Aetna, and
lava, pouring from a dozen open
ings, has united in one vast stream
twenty-four feet high and 1900
feet wide.
It is steadily growing in volume
as it advances, carrying destruction
in its path. It has covered four
miles and a half since yesterday,
and is now within four miles of
Belpasso and three miles from Mic
olosi.
The latter town is surrounded by
hills, and is not threatened with de-
struction, whereas Belpasso and
Borello are exposed to danger.
If the eruption continues, the last
two named places will be invested
within two days. Panic is increas-
ing.
SMOKE AND RUMBLING.
Huge clouds of smoke envelope the
volcano. Showers OF lapilli are frequent
Subterranean rumblings ana slight earth
shocks are felt intermittently. The lava
has devastated great tracts OF cultivat-
ed lands, such as vineyards and orchards.
and has wrought havoc In the woods.
The village Of Nidolo. in the neighbor-
hood Of Nicoiosi, has been completely
covered, and many huts and farmhouses
have been destroyed. The inhabitants OF
the villages on the southern slopes OF the
mountain are in a state of panic, but
they, nevertheless. cling 70 their homes.
refusing to forsake them until the last
moment.
Great confusion prevails. owing to the
holding Of professions, praying. and dis
plays of the characteristic religious
frenzy which possess the Sicilians In such
emergencies, rendering them helpless.
Every church in Nicolosi is crowfsd with
panic-stricken deyotees. and loud prayers
continue uninterruptedly day and night.
Hundreds of candles are lighted In front
of every image and all the saints are in
voked. Troops have been dispatched TO
the Mount Aetna district 20 keep order
and to assist in the evacuation Of the VII
lagos.
Americans WOuld Ascend Aetna.
Many American and British tourists
have arrived at Nicolosi bent upon at
an ascent of the mountain. but
they are forcibly prevented.
Rain is falling persistently. The people
n some cases are removing the furniture
from their homes and driving their hocks
oward Catania, but many of them seem
70 be petrifed by terror and are making
