Lebanon There Is No Fear of a Fatal Result, However-The Count of Turin Re ceives a Sliirlit Cut. ou the Rlerht Hand Italians Jubilant. Paris, Aug. 16. The Count of Turin and Prince Henri of Orleans fought a duel with swords at 5 o'clock yesterday morning in the Hois de Marechaux, at Vancresson. M. Leontieff acted as um pire. The fiffhtjng was most determin ed, and lasted 2C minutes. There were five engagements, of M hich two Overe at close quarters. Prince Henri received two serious wounds in the right shoul der and the right side of the abdomen. The Count of Turin was wounded in the right hand. Prince Henri was taken to( the residence of the Due de Chartrei and received medical attendance. The condition of Prince Henri is as satisfactory as could be expected. The doctors, after consultation, have ex pressed the opinion that no important organ was touched, but absolute rest is necessary for recovery. Owing to rumors at Naples and else where the public had not expected the duel to come" off. It was, therefore, quite private. The official account furnished by the seconds recites fully the circum stances leading up to the encounter. The Count of Turin, considering tho letters of Prince Henri of Orleans to The Figaro offensive to the . Italian army, wrote to him on July 6 demand ing a retraction. This letter could not be' answered until Aug. 11, the day of the arrival of Prince Henri in France. The prince replied to the count's de mand by telegram, maintaining the right of. a "traveler to record his ex periences. ' The official account then describes the arrangements for the duel, gives the names of the respective seconds, and says that at their first interview they agreed that the encounter was jn eyitable. By common accord the con ditions were settled as follows: The weapon to be the dueling sword, e,ach combatant to Use that of his own country, but, the blades. to be of equal length, either combatant to be at lib erty to maintain the' ground he gains, and each to be allowed the space of 15 meters within which to advance, or retire; each assault to continue four minutes; the combat to be resumed in the position occupied, and only to ter minate on ,the decision of the four sec onds or the advice of the doctor, when one of the adversaries is manifestly In a state of inferiority; the conduct of the meeting to be entrusted alternately to the two parties, lots being drawn .at commencement. This latter feature of the. arrange ment was due to the formal objection of the seconds of Prince Henri of Or leans to the direction of the encounter by? a fifth party. Irf the first assault Prince Henri was hit in the right breast, though the weapon did not penetrate beyond the subcutaneous cellular tissue. On the strength of the report of the doctors the seconds decided that the' com bat" must go on. The second assault was stopped be cause the combatants came into close quarters.. In the third asfardt the Count of Turin was hit in the back of the right hand, but the weapon did not pene trate beyond the subcutaneous cellular tissue. In the fourth assault the umpire, Ma jor Leontieff, declared that the sword of Prince Henri was bent, ..and stopped the engagement long enough to fur nish the prince with a ntw weapon. In the fifth assault -the combatants again got into clone quarters and were immediately ' stopped, Prince Henri, in a counter blow, being hit in the right lower region '.of - the abdomen. The doctors on both sides examined the wound, and declared that Prince HenTi was rendered by it clearly inferior to his antagonist. Major Leontieff and M. Alourichon proposed that the combat be-stopped, and this was done by com mon accord. While his. wound was being dressed. Prince Henri, raising himself upon fhe Cround, extended his hand to the Count of Turin, saying: "Allow me, Won. feigneur, to shake hands with you." The count extended his hand. The details cf the duel show that the encounter was very sharp and de termined. Immediately on the cross ing of swords Prince Henri vigorously pressed his adversary. The Count of Turin retreated to the limit of "the ground and then, resuming the offen sive, touched his opponent. The third and fourth assaults ended in long en gagements within guard. The Temps, says that the wound in the abdomen of Prince Henri is serious, but not alarming. Had the Count of Turin's steel one half a centimeter, deeper the intestines -would have been perforated. After his wound had received a pre liminary dressing Prince Henri walked to his carriage unaided. The Count of Turin, accompanied by his seconds, left Paris for Italy yester day afternoon. He was not experienc ing any special distress from his wound. TWO CSOWDED STEAMEES BAIL, GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS. RACE-W ak in mm s Whites and Blacks. THEEE DEAD, ANOTHER MAY DIE. SENATOR JAMES Z.

STRIKERS WAITING PATIENTLY. The Spirit of Agarresslvouess Has J-nrtrely Ited Out. Pittsburg, Aug. 16. A leaden sky and fitfull showers contributed to the feeling of depression which existed at the miners' camps at Turtle Creek and Plum Creek yesterday. The men hud dled .together for shelter under the commissary tents, and having nothing else to do put in the time smoking and discussing the strike in all its phases. The spirit of aggressiveness, however, has largely died .out. The same grim determination to stick it out until star vation brings -defeat or their efforts vic tory is apparent, but there are no prop ositions to attain their end by force or to go contrary to the sheriff's orders. The men all realize that in opposing the law, as represented by the sheriff and his deputies, they would have about the same success as in butting their heads 'against a stone wall. They have no particular love for the depu ties, although there is an absence cf that caustic repartee between the fac tions that has characterized " former strikes. There was no marching yes terday. This has been the usual Sun day custom at all the camps, but even if it had been otherwise the: strict orders of all strike leaders to wait quietly until after today would have, prevented them. Sunday has usually been used by the men to do mission ary work among the working-miners. None of them attempted to see anv workmen, however, and kept severely away from the company houses. The march into Westmoreland coun ty will begin as soon as the injunction is. settled in court. Much anxiety is s.expressed as to the outcome. The men stake everything on their ability to show the right to assemble and march on the public roads. Most of Those Who Ilavo .Inst Sailed Take With Them IIores or "Mules, Realizing That They Ilavo a Win ter's Trip Uefore Them. - Victoria, Yi. C, Aug. 16. There were in Victoria yesterday . morning close upon 1,000" men of every class and from every part of the world, who were wildly anxious to get starttnl Or't the long trip to the new 121 Dorado. These men had tickets which will carry them to Skagway bay on the big collier Bris tol or the steamer Islander, both of which sailed yesterday. The Bristol has been fitted with bunks and stalls for horses from the bottom of hr hold to the top of her cabin deck, and every bunk and stall is occupied, eloe upon 500 men going on the Bristol and just as many horses and mules. Even the big collier is filled up, the feed for these animals and the outfits for the men taking up an immense amount of space. The Islander has just as big a crowd, -but much of the space on her is taken up by a contingent of mounted police, their horses, dogs and outfits. They realize that they have a winter's trip before them before they reach Dawson City, and are taking dogs and sleighs. Horses will be taken as. far as possible, and when they are of ho more use will be killed and used as food for dogs. A few of the men are going up with the idea of purchasing cheap outfits from men who became discouraged and are turning back, but most of them are well provided, and all are taking pack animals, they having in this respect taken the advice of men who went be fore and have written of the difficulty of securing animals or Indians to pack goods across the pass. ; W. W. E. Canovan, of Ottawa, who was a member of the Canadian boun dary survey, in which capacity he has learned much about Alaska, left on the Islander. Mr. Canovan is going to look over the ground for the Klondike Placer Mining and Prospecting com pany, of Brantford and Paris, Ontario. This conwany will send out a large party in the spring to prospect and work claims in the Canadian Yukon. : THE GOVKHNMKNT'S SHARK. ht 'it 7- ' a' No. 27 are held in the Masonic ' ry 2nd Monday night . at 7:30 l'k p. m, each month, W. 11.

The funeral of Se nor Canovas del Castillo yesterday was a most touching and solemn ceremony. All the troops of the garrison lined the route along which the cortege moved, the Hags were lowered and the public buildings, embasrie"s, consulates and clubs were heavily draped with crape. More than a thousand wreaths were deposited in the death chamber. As the pallbearers lifted the coffin Senora Canovas, in a clear, firm tone, said: "I desire that all should know I for give the assassin. It is the greatest sacrifice I can make, but I make it for the sake of what I know of my hus hanii's srreat heart." The remains were interred in the family vault in the St. Isidore cemetery amid salvos of artil lery and the tolling of all the bells of the city. Another Rich Gold Field. New Orleans, Aug. 13. A new gold field has been discovered, but this one in the tropics. Reports have come to this city lately that big finds of gold have been made in Nicaragua, and the steamers from that section have been HT-ir.o-ino- in cold dust in proof 01 it. S. E. Spencer, a well known citizen cf Houston, Tex., just arrived here from Nicaragua, confirms the reports. lie says he .has been all over the gold fiel l district and that gold is Uiere , in large quantities. He has acquired valuable claims and will return as soon as he can make arrangements to work them. He says unemployed miners of the United States will do much better there than in attempting to go to Alaska. Canada Issues Regulations to Govern Klondike tiold MI 11 In sr. Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 16.

They provide that upon all gold mined on the claims loyalty of 10 -per cent" shall .-te-Jsri.I" isnd col lected, provided that the amount mined and taken from a single claim does not exceed $500 per week; for over $500 per week there shall be collected a royalty of 20 per cent. Default in payment of such royalty, If continued for ten days after notice has ben posted upon the'claim in re spect of which it is demanded, or in" the vicinity of such claim by the gold commissioner or his agent, shall be fol lowed by cancellation of the claim. Any attempt to defraud the crown by making false statements of the amount taken out may be punished by can cellation of the claim. The regulations governing the dis posal of placer mining claims along the Yukon river and its tributaries are amended so that entry can only be granted for alternate claims, known as creek claims, bench claims, bar dig gings and dry diggings, and that the other alternatecIa.Hiis be reserved for the crown, to be disposed of by public auction or in such manner as may be decided by the minister, of the interior. The penalty for tresspassing upon a claim reserved for 4he crown is the immediate cancellation by the gold commissioner of any. entry or entries which the person trespassing may have obtained, whether by original entry or purchase.

Bailey, of Magoffin county, was yesterday nominated by the Republican state convention clerk of the court of ap peals. Contrary to the expectations of many, the convention -was entirely harmonious in its work. There was an idea in some quarters that there would be a bitter fight between the Bradley and Hunter-Todd factions, but the ge'neralship of the party leaders on and off the floor of the convention prevented the anticipated clash. The state and national administrations were endorsed . and ciAl service was op posed along the' lines laid down by the recent Ohio Republican convention. In other words, according to the Ken lucky Republican view, civil service is pood enough in its way, but there are ;eitain offices which should be re . moved from its control. YfTrkville, S. C, Aug. 13. The sena torial campaign meeting here yester day was quite dramatic. Candidate Mayfield made good an offer that if he could not prove that Senator "Mc Laurin had tried to organize a Populist-party in South Carolina he would withdraw as a candidate for the United States senate against McLaurin. He said he was now convinced, from proof that McLaurin had given him, that Mc Laurin largely prevented Topulist or ganization in South Carolina. He said he had done Senator McLaurin an in justice raid would withdraw from the race. Senator McLaurin shook his head and thanked him amid great applause. Governor Evans said Senator McLaurin had invited him to go into the Popu list party with him, and this led to a heated discussion. Senator McLaurin spoke with such vehemence that he fainted on concluding.

Fusion was repudiated yesterday by the Populists of Ohio- fn a manner so emphatic as to leave no chance for controversy re garding the future policy of the party. The Populist state convention, by an overwhelming majority, severed the al liance made a year ago with the Pem ocats on the free silver issue and nom inated a full state ticket, headed by Jacob S.

Three men are dead, another fatally wounded and two others badly injured. The dead are: Harrison Kerr, a negro, shot all to pieces; Charles Peters, col ored, killed outright; Charles Andry, white, shot through the heart. The seriously injured are: J. T. Clarke. Jr.. a telegraph operator, shot through the shoulder, probably fatally; R. Owens, white, deputy sheriff of Perry county, shot through the groin, seriously in jured. Owens, a deputy sheriff from Perry county, had a warrant for Harrison Kerr, a- negro, charged with murder.' When he attempted to'make the ar rest Kerr opened fire on the officer. The first shot struck Owens in the groin, the bullet striking silver in his trousers pocket, glanced and inflicted a serious wound. The money in Owens pocket probably saved his life. An dry and Clarke went to Owens' as sistance, and five or six negroes joined with Kerr. A pitched battle ensued, in which over 50 shots were fired. - When the shooting was over Andry and Peters lay dead. Clark had stag gered into his office and fell upon the floor. Owens was lying in a ditch near the station, and Kerr and the remain der of his companions had disap peared. The entire town was at the scene of the shooting, and a posse started in pursuit i of the fleeing no groes. . Harrison Kerr was found lying dead in the road a mile away, literally shot to pieces, blood running from five wounds in his body. The other negroes who participated in the bloody affa'r continued their fight, and have not yet been captured. The whole country :s in a f evor of excitement, and should Kerr's associates be captured they will never come to trial. Hatfield's Mountain Fort Destroyed. HUntington, W. Va., Aug. 16. One- half of the Devil's Backbone,, the rocky fortress of the Hatfields in the moun tains on Tug river, was shattered by dynamite yesterday and Hatfield and his nien were driven from their strong hold by Sheriff Kneadle and his posse after a desperate battle.

Montague for attorney general on the third ballot. The- full ticket is: For governor, J. Iloge Tyler; lieuten ant governor. Edward Echols; at torney general, A. J. Montague. The convention adopted the platform proper as read by Senator Daniel, chairman of the resolutions committee, and then considered the resolution con cerning the senatorial primary plan. Secretary Bigger" at this point read a j-esolution unanimously, adopted by the committee cordially and heartily en dorsing the course in the senate of "our beloved senator, John W. Daniel, and pledging ourselves not to suport for the legislature any candidate who is opposed to his re-election." This resolution the convention adopt ed without a dissenting vote. The convention then took up the reso lution regarding nomination of senators by primary. The effort of the friends of the proposition to limit debate to an hour to each side was defeated. " Hon. W. A. Jones, of lhe First dis trict, opened the discussion in' favor of the committee's report for a primary plan of nominating senators. He point ed out that the convention had today just endorsed the whole principle In volved in this proposition in the reso lutions endorsing Senator Daniel. Mr. Jones challenged Senator Daniel to say if the question of electing een ators by the people should come up in the senate he would ot vote in the affirmative. ' " Senator Daniel maintained that every voter in Virginia has the opportunity of being heard through party niachin cry in selecting their United States senators. The speaker was not pre pared now to give , his unqualified sup port to the primary plan in selecting any public official. Senator Daniel said that both himself and his col league have been in' accord with the people of Virginia. ; Senator Daniel closed with an elo quent argument against the adoption of the committee report.
