PARIS , May 2J. A duel has been fought
I on the Illo de la Grande"Oatto between
Catullo Mendcs , the French author and dra-
| matlc critic , and M. Vanar. The quarrel
which led to the meeting grew out of a
discussion on Saturday last during an
entreacte nt the Theater de la Place du
Chatola. vvhnrn Sarah HernhnnH nrnrliirnrl
her version of "Hamlet" and plaed the
title ro.'e In a black costume and with
blonde hair. Mm. Mendcs and Vanar en
gaged In a dispute as to whether Hamlet
should be fat or thin. This Is Mendcs' four
teenth duel. Ho is not n good fencer , but
walks toward his adversary , waiving his
sword like n fan. The encounter was
slopped four times under the belief that
Mendes was woundeil and the fifth time It
was stopped found him with an ugly wound
in the abdomen. Vanar obviously tried to
wound Mendcs In the hand or forearm , but
the latter was determined to advance and
the result was that he sustained a serious
wound.
Vanar expressed regret at the out com o
of the encounter , but Mendes , who was
placed In a chair , shook hands with his ad
versary nnd treated the affair lightly ,
though it was evident be was suffering great
painMme.
Mme. Mendrs came to the scene without
her husband's knowledge and awaited the
end of the duel In a carriage nearby. There
was nn affecting scene between the husband
and wife when the fighting was finished.
In addition to Mme Mendes there were
only four spectators present.

Captain Pfort of the British ste-imer La-

take the government In three da > s The
Spaniards , it U added , turned the native
soldiery adrift and liberated the convicts.

WASHINGTON , May 23 Secretary Wil
son returned today from his visit to Louisi
ana and Texas , which was made In con
formity with the wishes of the president
for the purpose of looking over the sugar ,
rice , tobacco , fruit , cotton , gra/ing and
other industries of that region.
Speaking of < the sugar Industry the sec
retary bald :
"Very extensive Improvements have lately
been made In the sugar factories In antici
pation of a life and death struggle with
countries where labor Is cheaper and condi-
I I lions quite as favorable The actual condl-
I lion today Is that of an admirable prepara-
I tion for handling a large crop , with a pros-
i pect , however , of the. piesent crop being
cut down DO per cent b > the frosts of last
w Inter.
"Tho encouragement given by the Dlngloy
tariff will have a tendency to Increase the
area of production and attract capital to
the enterpilse. The people are much more
concerned over the future policy of con
gress respecting their Industry than they
are over the luavy loss on the coming crop
by low temperatures. They are pleased to
note the great Increase of sugar production
from beets in the northern states , judging
that they will not he alone In the future
when public policies are framed regarding
the Importation of their product. The laigo
amount of money being paid to foreign coun
tries for saccharine matter gives abundant
opportunlt ) fcr enterprise in the production
of sugar within the United States and every
oftort will non be matte h > the producers
of sugar to earn that money , "
Referring to the political situation the
secretary said :
"Tho people accommodate themselves to
circumstances , politically The republican
saS 'Wo want protection.1 Others , who
do not llko to use- the word protection , say :
'Tho govcrniiunt needs revenue. ' But , however -
over It is put the present policies of the
government aio veiy popular. "

incn , coal heavers and ore handlers were
meicl ) Incidental to iho scoopera' mo\e-
n.ont and were brought about largely be
cause ( if svmpatlt } f r them The unnoume-
ment this morning that the grain shovelcrs
had decided to return to work tomorrow
had an Irresistible effect upon the olhei
labor movements. The frelglit handle-is'
cummlttep held n conference early tonight
with Contractor Connors nnd ipprc'Bcntn-
lives of the Associated Lake linen. The
freight handlers agreed to waive the ques
tion of wages In return for nthei substantial
concessions
The agreement containing these terms
was presented after the conference to Grat-
Inn \ Lattlmer , James Kenned } nnd
Thomas McCarthy , lite other eontr.ictois
who agreed to sign it At a meeting of the
freight handlem tonight the agreement
was ratified and the strikers voted to go

bor dllUeultlcs in this city have come to
an end and that all the obstacles In the
path of commerce , which has suffered to
nn extent beond calculation during the
last month , have been finally removed
They also mark the conclusion of one of
the most remarkable labor movements In
the history of the country. From 8,000 to
12,000 worklngmon have taken part In the
struggle florn first to last and jet the
whole history of the strike does not contain -
tain the stain of n single riot or a single
authenticated attempt to destroy property
or interfere with the rights of others.

sion No. 1 of the supreme couit today ren
dered nn Important decision of interest to
members of fraternal iiifauianco associations
all over the country. It holds that when
the superintendent of the insurance dcpart-
mcnt has acted fairly on applications for
I license to do business as a fraternal organ-
l/atlon and has decided that such associa
tion Is not a fraternal association under the
| law nnd has refused such license , the supreme
premo court has no right by mandamus to
compel him to reverse his decision and Issue
the license.
The case decided was that of the Wood-
I men of the World of Omaha , of which J. C.
Root Is president , against Superintendent of
1 Insurance O'Rcar for a writ of mandamus to
I compel that oflUlal to issue n license to the
i rotator as a fraternal beneficiary nssocla-
'
tlon. The writ was refused in the unani
mous opinion of the court. O'Rear refused
the license on the ground that the Wood
men of the World was not a fraternal asso
ciation under the law , because It did not
have a representative form ct government.

Hlchanl Manslleld and Ills company , but to { \
honoi the e-Hj s distinguished gWHt , llc.ir
Admlr.il Wlnlleld Scott Schley as well.
Uu-ry bit of av.ill.ible space In the theater F' '
was occupied and its Intel lor looked like >
a virltabtei falrvhind.
And never before- has such a bceno been
enacted in a local tlic.itit .is was last night
when the honored guests entered thethea

lint until the partj had entered the box
that liitl been reserved for them next to
the stage upon the reft-h.tnd side of thu v
theater that the enthusiasm reached Its
height Then the entire audience lose an
one person and the enthusiastic demonstra
tion that followed Is almost Indcscrlbible.
The admiral bowed his acknowledgment. !
andnt > seated but foi a short llmu
unl } , for the audience soon brought him
to his feet for a bpeoch , in which ho ex
pressed his appreciation of the greeting and
said he realized that it was not for him
nlone , but for that arm of the navy , us well ,
that had enl > tiled to do Us duty during
the must trjlng time of war. The pcoplo
satisfied themselvub b > viewing him through
their glasses until the curtain went up upon
the first act.

After lib close the orchcstia struck up *
patriotic air and again the audience was
upon its feet cheering and giving vent tc
unbounded enthusiasm. Major iMoores , who
occupied a scat in the right end of the or-
chestra pit arose after it was beateJ
again and proposed three cheers for the
admiral , which were most lic-mlly given.
The orchestra then played "IMy Country ,
'TIs of Thee , " and the audience , including
the occupants of the boxes , arose , many
joining in the chorus. It was an event that
will Hvo long in the memory of the admiral
nnd ono that will nuvor bo fey-gotten by
others who witnessed It.
| The box occupied by Admiral and Mrs

As to tl'o play , "Cyrano de Bergerai , "
It is one of the most showy productions
over seen upon the local stage Ever since
last October , when Mr. Mansfield first made
it known to nn American audience , it has
been much in the public mind so much.
In fact , as to have become the fad of the
theatrical } ear. It must be remembered
that every great movement has Its faddists
and the fact remains that a play of genuine -
ino literary excellence , written exactly as
the author liked to write It , without n
blnglo evidence of subservience to popular
taste , has bv Its own sheer merit caught
public npplaute as no other play has done
In } earb. Tor that reason the production of
"Crano" Is Inspiring In the highest way ,
i for It dues servo to show that there it > an
'
cuomous public use'for the bcht kind of
play , if the best can be found. In this case
the best has been found. Very naturally ,
the Ingenious and Industrious gentlemen
who are retained to promote Mr. Mans
field's business Interests have fed tlio llame
of curiosity by admit use of the play's
amazing success. It Is potslblo tlint many
peibons have allowed expectation to out
run the sober truth and thus exaggerated
the real value of the work.
In the lobby dlsciibblon last night was
he.iid an occasional note of disappointment.
Tliat was In the earlier stages of the rep
resentation. AftPr the curtain had fallen on
the third net the cheerful huzi of approba
tion was heard through the house Ihe
Incomparable singe picture that forms the
cllmaof act IV continued the favorable
verdict to which additional and solemnly

of C.viano is certain ! } far and nwny above
