1 THAT FARCICAL ‘IIUIL.
_ Physicians Report as to Condition of
“ the “Wounded” Prince.
«MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Because One Fool Told the Truth the
Other Fool Challenged Him, and They
“Fought”—Large Crop of Silly
Billy Duels In Prospect.
Paris, Aug. 17.—Ear1y today Prince
Henri was resting comfortably. His
physicians are reticent as to the condi-
tion of the prince, and it is said that
they fear complications may occur
which would make the recovery of their
patient a matter of grave doubt.
At noon Prince Henri’s physicians re-
ported that-his condition was satisfac-
tory.
General Albertone, the Italian Officer
who'had challenged Prince Henri, but
who gave way to the Count of Turin,
has withdrawn his challenge.
It is intimated that the duel between
the princes may be followed by other
ucounters growing out Of the friction
generated at the preliminaries to the
meeting. It has transpired that at the
interview between the seconds previous
PRINCE HENRI OF ORLEANS.
to the duel one of them became very
much excited and said it was now a
quarrel between the two countries, add-
ing: “We wish the whole Italian army
could assist at this duel.”
When weapons were being discussed
the Italians stood out for the saber,
and were with great difficulty con-
vinced that the French dueling code did
not admit Of the saber except in the
case of cavalry officers.
All started with the utmost secrecy
at 3 o’clock, arriving at the place agreed
upon almost simultaneously an hour
later. Little time was wasted in the
preparation. They faced each other
exactly at 5 o’clock. Angry glances
were exchanged and both looked cool
and determined.- They fought in their
shirt sleeves, Prince Henri with bare
hands and the count with gloves. At
the words “Allez, messieurs,” both start-
ed vigorously, so vigorously as to as-
tonish and disturb the seconds. It was
a thrilling exhibition of sword play, and
Major Loentieff, describing it with ex-
traordinary vivacity, said it was ter-
rible.
“Ii” Figures In This Duel Too.
It appears that Prince Henri‘s sword
was bent by a button of the count’s
trousers. But for this chance there is
little doubt that the count would have
been run through, or at least danger-
ously wounded. Intact, the doctors
and seconds thought this had happened.
When Prince Henri received the wound
in his abdomen, he clapped his hands to
the spot and Sank back to his seat, sup-
ported by Leontieff. He then rolled up-
on the ground, exclaiming that he could
do no more. .
Both men maintained hot fighting at
every stage of the encounter. When the
count’s hand was scratched, he ridicul—
ed the wound and tried to stop the med-
ical examination, but the doctors insist-
ed. Toward the end of the fourth as--
sault the onlookers became anxious, as
the opponents, becoming fatigued,
fought with looser guard and more
reckless thrusts. In the fifth assault
the prince, after feeling his way, began
an impetuous attack, the count defend-
ing desperately and slowly retiring. It
seemed that the rounds which had gone
before had only served to excite the fire
of the combatants.
Suddenly the prince 'made a wild
lunge, which the coimt barely parried.
The latter; immediately returned the
thrust and the prince, slightly overbal-
ancing himself, swung' back to avoid
the .blow and received the point Of his
adversary’s sword in the abdomen.
lElie News In Paris.
The news was not generally known
through Paris until about 10 o’clock,
when there was a rush of visitors to the
residence Of' the Due de Chartres, but
only Major Leontiei‘f was allowed ac-
cess to the room of the prince, except-
ing, of course, his father, mother and
brot . M. Faure sent a special mes-
seng to make inquiries as to his con-
dition. ‘ ' :~ 1 ~ ' ,

No Complications Probable.
Rome, .R'Aug. 17.——The general'belief is
that King Hugibert must have ac-
quiesced in the. count's' action." It is
unlikely that any diplomatic complica-
tions will ensue. ' '
. Emperor William has telegraphed to
the count his warmest congratulations.
The due; grew" out of certain criti-i
cisms made by'Prince Henri of Orleans
upon the conduct of Italian officers and
. soldiers while prisoners of Emperor Me-
-nelek in‘ Abyssinial 'Thes'e criticisms
were published early in July, in the
Paris neWspaper' for which Prince Henri
has been Writing of his travels in Abys-
sinla,'whil!h bega last February. The
particularstatements of which the Ital-
i'an press and public, as well as the Ital-
ian 3offi'cers, took exception were pub-
’cocoanuts.
‘lished On July :‘4 last. Among the state-
I
ments then made by Prince Henri was
the following:
"It seems that these Italians do not
have much confidence in their fellow
countrymen. The officers asked the
Abyssinians to give them guards to pre-
vent their men from deserting- while go-
ing back to the coast.”
Shortly after this statement appeared
a dispatch from Rome said that the
Italianofflcers back from Har'rar hall
drawn lots to determine which of them
should demand reparation by arms from
Prince Henri, and that the duty had
fallen upon Lieutenant Pini, brother of
the celebrated maitre d’armes, who dis-
patched three letters to Prince Henri,
with a challenge, addressed to Paris,
Marseilles and Djibouti. ,
Prince Henri had declined to fight with
Lieutenant Pini, on the ground of dis-
parity in rank. On July 19 Populo
Romano announced that the Count of
Turin had addressed a letter to Prince
Henri demanding a withdrawal of his
remarks at the expense of the Italian
officers.
May Exoommnnioate Dnelists.
London, Aug. 17.—A special dispatch
from Rome, published today, says it is
reported there that the pope will ex-
communicate Prince Henri of Orleans
and the Count of Turin, as dueling is
forbidden by the Roman Catholic
church.
YUKON GOLD SEEKERS.
\Vhat an Experienced Miner Who Has
Abandoned the Trip Says.
San Francisco, Aug. 17.——-Daniel Gable,
an old and experienced miner, who was
one of the first to join the rush to the
Klondike, has returned, and tells-a story
calculated to deter others from going
north in search of gold. There is hardly
a trail in California, Arizona, Nevada or
Montana with which Gable is not fa-
miliar. When the news of the gold
strike reached this country Gable left
his mines in Arizona and started for the
Klondike via Juneau and the Chilkat
pass. Now he is back, having sold his
outfit, which cost $235. He learved from
many experienced mining men at .Ju-
neau and further up that it would be
suicide to go before spring. He says:
“When we reached Barnum’s bay,
which is a little way from Dyea, I gave
up the idea. I left the vessel, intending
to go to work in the Comet mines there,
and wait until next spring, when I in-
tended to go into the Klondike. I found
the mines deserted, as the men would
not work there at this time of the year,
owing to the water, which filled the
mines. The Alaska mining men are
positive that nearly all who are trying
to get to Dawson City will be frozen up
on the way until spring, and that their
fate is uncertain. I will not answer for
the lives of the tenderfeet who are now
going.” ’
Canada’s Proposal.
Washington, Aug. 17.—The Canadian
government has submitted formal pro-
posals to this government to establish
communication with the Klondike re»
gion in Alaska by the construction of a
telegraph line from the head of winter
navigation on the Lynn canal into the
center of the Klondike district. The
proposals have been taken under ad-
visement. '
