PROF. lANGEVIN IN DUEL
His Adversary Gustave Thery-
Seconds Fire Pistols in Air.

Paris. Nov. 25.-Another duel growing out
OF the LangevinCurie affair took place
to-day without any harm being done Gus
tave Thery, who gave publicity to certain
letters alleged to have been written by
Nine. Curie 10 Professor Langevine, was
yesterday challenged by the professor for
a combat Of unusual severity"
Pistols We're chosen. and when they met
to-day NJ. Langevin was accompanied by
several brother professors and members OF
the French Institute. The encounter was
directed by Professor Paul Paineve. of
the faculty Of sciences, at Paris University.
When the word was given neither ad-
versary fired, whereupon the seconds ap-
preached the duellists and, taking their
pistols, discharged them in the air. The
adversaries left the field OF honor unrecon-
cied
The combat was due TO the pamphlet of
VI. Thery, containing what is alleged To be
a copy OF the "plainte" Of mscon~
duct which has been hled in the Correc-
tional Court OF the Seine by Mime. Iaugevin
against Professor Langevin. The publica-
ton Of the text Of such complaints before
trial is prohibited by law. None Of the
newspapers printed the alleged copy OF the
'plainte." which, according 10 Gustave
Thery, includes copies OF letters alleged TO
have been written by Nine. Curie to Pro-
fessor Langeyin, showing that intimate re-
lations had existed.

GERMANY MAKES TROUBLE
Tries to Create Dissatisfaction
with Anglo French Entente.


Paris. Nov. 2j.-Nigorous and adroit
efforts are being made by the diplomacy
of the Wilhelmstrasse to create dissatis-
faction in France with the Anglo-French
entente These attempts 10 influence
public opinion i'm France have induced
the government TO publish the text Of
the secret articles Of the AnClo-French
treaty Of April Z, 1904. by which France
agrees not TO oppose the suppression Of
capitulations or international eXtra-ter-
ritorial rights in Egypt whenever Eng
land proposes their abolition, and by
which England cedes TO Spain, with the
approval of France, the whole Of the
zone of influence in Morocco claimed by
Spain to-day, including the hitherto dis
puted points of Lsrach and Il Ksar.
,.he terms Of this secret treaty meet on
the whole with public approval in
France, where it is regarded as a rational
compromise, because Tangier and North
ern Morocco. fronting Gibraltar, would
in either British or French hands give
Great Britain or France, as the case
might be. an absolute control Of the
Mediterranean such as other nations
would never consent to. This cession Of
English rights in Northern Morocco to
Spain is accepted here as the basis Of
the solution of the Franco-Spanish con-
hict which will probably be arrived at
shortly in London.

BROADER MARKET IN PARIS
Shortage in Sugar Crop Reacts
Seriously in Certain Trades.


Paris. Nov. 25.-The Bourse to-day dis
plays a firmer tone, owing 10 the pros
pect Of an early Settlement with Spain
in regard tC the Moroccan dispute, which
leading inanciers here consider as Writ
ually concluded. Consequently, Spanish
bonds and stocks have advanced several
points.
Great activity prevails in France in
industrial securities, especially in cleo
tricity propositions and transports.
The present high prices of sugar are
having a serious effect on the confec-
tiCnery and other trades, and it is con-
sidered likely, therefore, that France will

Sugar Convention, which is TO meet at

Official estimates show that owing 10
the drouth during the summer and tho
consequent failure Of the beet crop the
deficiency of European sugar for the
present year Is more than two million
tons.
European consumption is much below
the average, owing to the high price Of
