that that schooner has been brought

DUEL.


DUEL.
In the first quarter Of the last cen
fury there were no two more brilliant
men in the United States than Henry
Clay and John Randolph. There were
likewise no two more bitter political op-
ponents. The bad blood between the
statesmen eliminated in a challenge to a
duel in 1926. Randolph was a United
States senator from Virginia and Henry
Clay had been made secretary of state
by John Quincy Adams.
The president had sent message to
the senate on the subject Of the Panama
mission. A motion was made in the SEN
ate for call upon the president for
further information In response to this
the president answered by a message,
with the tone of which Randolph was
greatly displeased, and in his place in
the senate bitterly denounced It and Its
authors, President Adams and Mr.. Clay

Randolph said: ''I was defeated, horse
