III SaxFuancihco, Aug. 13. Reports from ned-
MV fling. In Bhnsta county, sny Hint for thirty
BV years tho placo ting seen no mining excitement
BE equal to Hint which has stirred tho town sines
IB U8 Graves brothers drove In ou their buckbonrd
on lnsl Tncsdny with their $12,000 nugget.
Btorios uf rich llnds In pockets had conio In for
I H sorornl days from Woavcrvlllo and other parts
" w of Trinity county, but they wcro regarded as
exaggerated until tho two brothers brought in
gold to proi o tho truth of their words.
It was h repetition of tho Klondike No one
putanyfulth In the stories of tnormous finds
brought to Juneau by Mull Carrier Carr
last winter. It was only when minors returned
on tho llxcolslor with lliolr treasure that Cali
fornia went wild with the Bold fever. In this
city there nro hundreds of disappointed persons
who worounablotogct passago to the Yukon,
and ninny of theso aro winking arrangements to
D try their luck at projecting in tho now Trinity
I county bonanza. Snow does not fly In Trinity
1 before the end of October, so thoy have two
fl months nnd a half yet for work before cold
1 woathcr will cotuo. It docs not require much
I money for outfit, nnd faro to tho now district
I from this city Is only $18. Inquiry to-day
U showed that many prospectors havo departed
already for tho now camp and that others will
follow them coon.
All the mining districts along tho foothills have
furnished tholr quota, so Redding is already
01 crrun w 1th strangers, and Its stores aro doing
r rushing business in supplying outfits and
toots. From oil parts of Shasta county old
miners havo flocked in nnd taken tho road for
the north. Eicry day brings stories of fresh
finds, which add to the excitement. Tho San
3 Francisco mint reports Trinity gold ns worth
I $18.07 an ounce, which Is about $3 mora an
ounce than Klondike gold. Tho new mining
district is on tho divide between Trinity and the
Slskijou Mountains and near tho bead of the
Salmon Klvcr. It is 303 miles from this city.
Pcrhnps tho best description of tho country
nd of the methods of worklngmlnos is given by
Itlchnrd Graves, who Is now hero. Ho said their
claim covered nlncty-stx acres, and he would
not exchange it for anything on the Klondike.
Ho added:
"Thero is a ledge of quartz on tho surface ex
tending U20 feet, which runs northeasterly and
southwesterly nil within our land. The pockets
already reported aro tho only ones yet found on
the lodge, but we expect to strike It still richer.
We have tunnollod on sldo hills on the lord,
but bad run in not more than twenty feet when
wo came on nuggota. The pockets aro on tho
wall between groon and yellow porphyry. In
tervening is good milling oro, which we shall
pile in dumps and when tho time arrives we shall
put up n mill and work it. For tho present
our attention will bo confined to nug
gets that wo may find In pockets. Our
find was a good deal of a surprise. It is truo we
had como across nuggets ranging from a few
dollars to $1,000 last season, but when we went
to work ou tho ledge It soon pinched, and wo felt
discouraged. Then we picked around in the
gulch without much result. Finally it was de
cided to go up and run a tunnel on tholcdge. Wo
had no idea of what was coming, but It opened
wf de at once, and soon after the pocket was en
countered. "At that ootnt are two seams that dip toward
each other. A pockot minor, who has worked
all over tho United States, tells us that where
those seams miot we shall get monoy. Thut is
forty or fifty feet away yot from whero w o are
at present. Our gold ledge, where it disappears
at the surface 020 foet away, runs up against a
ledge of Iron eighty foet wido, and thero wo ex
pect to find another big pocket,"
r Since tho brothers left their claim Henry Car-
ter, their partner, has taken out $22,000 from
another rich pockot This makes a total output
of the mine in little over one week of $100,000.
Oilers for their mine have been made to the
Graves brothers, but have been refused, as they
Bay the mine is worth as much toihcmasto
any ono else. There Is plenty of land in tho
neighborhood of Coffee Creek which has not
been tnken up, for, though many prospectors
have been in that part of Trinity county, thoy
generally have kept in tho trails on tho Salmon
River, and few have explored tho side gulches
1 like that In which tho recent rich discoveries
, havo boon made.
I Byron Blackburn, who owns the sawmill at the
I boad of Coffee Creek, brought to Redding the
first full detalhi of u rlchstriko mado by Burgess
and Murphy, two poor prospectors, on Hickory
I Creek, fifteen miles from tho Graves brothers'
bonanza. Ho said:
"Tho entire population of the Coffee Creek dis
trict have gone mad over tho recent rich dis
coveries. Immediately following the dlscovory
of the pocket In the Blue Jay mine or Morrison
Gulch by the Graves brothors camo a rich
strike on Hickory Creek. Henry Carroll was
taking out some rich quartz from u vein
on Hickory Creok, when two prospectors,
Murphy and Burgess, camo along and
mado Inquiries as to the digging. Carroll
advised them to go up ono of tho forks of the
creek and prospect on a sldo hill. Following
his advice, thoy stripped a ploce of ground
about three hundred feet up tho hill and founl
that in the bed rock thero appoared to be a
earn or diks of quartz between the formations
of porphyry. Taking a panful of decomposed
quartz and dirt, they woro surprised at the
prospocts, and going along tho ledge they were
pleased to find every pan showed gold from p."
to $20 a pan. The richest pan yielded $400 In
puro gold.
The two men bad taken out over $20,000 at
last accounts. The discovery created the great
est excitement In the district. The Nash Mining
' Company, of which William Maltland Is super-
IntenJent, had In operation at tho time of the
strike a mill on Coffee Creek below the mouth
of Hardscrahble Gulch. When the news of
the strike reached tbo Nash mill forty men cm
ployed there looked upon tho report with sus
picion. Among tho most Incredulous was Mo
Manus, the foreman. He steadfastly refused to
believe tho reports, but when tbo news camo
that Murphy and Burgess had taken out $400 in
one pan of dirt, MoMnnus wont to the superin
tendent, drew his wages, resigned his place,
anl put off across countty on foot,
bound for the new diggings. The forty men in
the employ of the company followed the fore
man, and Maltland was left along with the cook
as bis only loyal subject.
Prospectors from every psrt of tho country
aro going Into tba new dlstriot in droves and
aro locating claims along Hickory Creek and Its
tributaries. There are stories of other rich
finds made In this district, but thoy havo not
been verified.
Wires are down to-day nnd nothing can be
learned from Wesvervllle, which Is the tele
graphic point nearest the mines. It has long
been said by geologists who have visited Trinity
county that the vast riches lu gold taken in the
early days from tbo gravel bed and old channels
of Trinity River and Its tributaries cumo from
the real fountain head of mineral wealth located
, at the head of Coffee Creek and along the natu
ral divide of the Trinity and Siskiyou moun
, k tains, and alio near tho head of Salmon River,
ft The field assistant of the State Mineralogy
1 ' Board and other minim; men have said that the
ledgo and quartz dlscoi urles which would be
made some day in tho vicinity now being oponed
would startle the world with their rlonnosa.
Tholr prediction Is being realized.
Coilee Creek, on which tho big strike wis
i
made, hardly forms Itself Into a stream before It
enters n rich gruvel bed, through which It flows
Its entire course of thirty miles to its confluence
with Trinity River. Thero is not n great fall to
these wator courses. For miles along Coffee
Creek tho fall Is not over five or six inches to tho
rod. The gold In the gravel beds Is found noar
bed rock, and as tho richest gravel Uos
deoper than the bed of tho creek, tho
miners find It oasy to elovato gravel from
bed rock to their sluice boxes in order to secure
a dump for tailings. Tho small miners are all
men whoso original capital consisted only of
strong bodies and rugged constitutions. Primi
tive elovatlng machinery of all descriptions, op
erated by hnnd power and also by water wheels,
lino the banks of the stroam.
Tho first gulch flowing into Coffeo Cresk Is
Packor's Gulch, and It Is producing much coarso
gold from some diggings and gravel dopostts.
Two mllos bolow Adams Crock Is tho next
tributary to Coffee Creek. This has not been
prospocted to any extent, although producing
some gold noar Its oonfluenco with the main
creek.
Next comes Hickory Creok, on the fork of
which the rich strlko was mado by Murphy and
Burgess. Throo-quarters of a mile bolow Pack
er's Gulch and on Hardscrabblo Gulch a miner
named Keating not long since mado n rich
strlko, nnd still lower down on the north fork of
Coffeo Croek Pat Holland has plaoedaclaim
and frequently turns up nnggoU worth $40 or
$30 each.
Prof. Thomas Price of this city, ono of the best
mining experts on tho coast, recently examlnod
tho Coll eo Creek district for n foreign syndicate
and reported that all the mines along tho creek
would pay woll..
WAS SUE MURDERED BT CROOKBT
Mysterious Drath or Woman lu Mramse

8TTUCUBI, Aug. 13. Thoro have boen many
burglariei in this city during tho last mouth
and the police have been unablo to catch tho
crooks, who have boen working lu almost every
pirt of the town. In one of tho most disreputa
ble streets of tho city stands tho Dclovan House,
and a mysterious death has just occurred there,
which may havo somo connoctlon with tho
burglaries.
The Dclovan is kept by James Hayes, and tho
house has been frequented for a long tlmo by
people whom tho police have been watching. It
Is said that Mrs. Nellto Hayes, wife of the pro
prietor, has been for somo tlmo in possession of
somo facts concerning recent burglaries which
she has threatened to disclose to the police
Two of the guests, who aro now in jail, nro
thought to havo had something to do with Mrs.
Hayes's death, which occurred last night under
mysterious circumstances. Hayes was in a
Etnto of Intoxication that night, but bo was
sober enough to bear cries of pain Issuing from
his wife's room at 10:30 o'clock. He heard a
woman's volco within and demanded admit
tance. Tho door was locked and tho woman
w ould not let him In. Then ho started to butter
dow n the door.
As It gavo way two women, scantily clad,
rushed out, eluded 111" grasp, nnd ran Into a
neighboring house. Hayes called the police,
w ho discovered that lira. Hayes had been dead
only a short tlmo. Hayes made nn examination
of tho room and told the police that $750, which
was In his wife's trunk, was missing. The
women who had been in tho room were charged
with tho theft and tbo police arrested them.
Hayes sitys that the women not only stole tho
money but poisoned his wife.
Tho women, who iravo their names aaLona
. Parker and Clara Willis of Osw ego. were womon
, of tho town In the city, and they havo boen con
torting with men hero who aro bellercd to be
Implicated In the recent burglaries. The police
i have a theory thai tbo crooks got the women to
I commit tho mnrder so tbnt Mrs. Hayes would
not givo away their Beorets to the police, and
that the robbery of the trunk was an afterthought-
" An undertaker who embalmed the body before
tho Coroner was notified, and had issued e,
1 burial permit, has complicated the case by mak
: ing an accurate analysis of tho dead woman's
, stomach for traces of poison an Impossibility.
Hayes nnd tho two w omen are held at police

SEA ZlOy AT 11 ELL GATE.

Queer Antics nnd Rlude Pursuit.
A seven-foot sea lion gavo on exhibition of
aquatic high leaping In Hell Gate, opposite East
River Park, between 5 and 0 o'clock last even
ing, before nn audience that crowded the park
sea wall. The lion, which Is probably one of
three that escaped from Glen Island a few days
ago. was first seen by a small boy who was in
bathing off Eighty-fourth street.
Tho boy thought that n sea serpent was after
him, and when he had scrambled ashore be
screamed so loud that every one In the park
ran to the river sldo to see what was going on.
The boy pointed at tho sea lion and the crowd
soon discovered the animal. Many of them
jumped to tho conclusion tbatn sea serpent had
run up to the city from somo resort on tho
Jersey coast, nnd the park rapidly filled up with
persons anxious to got a glimpse of Uie monitor.
The sea Hon seemed to be In excellent beulth
and spirits. It alternately dived Into the water
and snrang into the air. When the Sound boats
passed up the lion frisked about thom and
icnied to enjoy rolling in the wakes thoy left
behind. The lion played around the tugs that
passed up and down the river, and showed Itself
once to a party of men who were standing In the
bow of on excursion steamer.
Sam McGlnglo and Pop Farrell put out from
Eighty-fourth street In a yawl to catch tho Hon,
as Mr. Btari n has ottered $500 reward for Its re
turn. Tho creature cw am away before thoy could

Cnur Assistant Tries to Murder Copt. Allen
on Whale Rock, Near Karragansett Pier
Allen Finally Escapes la m Rowboat l'ui
sued by the Other Man, Who Shoots nt Him.
Narraoanbett Piku, It. L. Aug. 13. Whale
Rock lighthouse, throe miles northeast of here,
Is in chargo of a drunken maniac, tho assistant
keeper, Henry KygrlfTc, This evening, after
drinking heavily all day, he worked himself
Into a murderous frenzy, attacked Cspt. J. S.
Allen, the lighthouso keeper, with a carving
knife, drove him from tho Island, pursued him
to tho mainland In a boat, and only re
turned wbon his intended victim suocoedod In
getting a horse and so making his escape. CapL
Allen reached hero to-night terribly bruised
nnd exhausted and told tho story of his fight
nnd flight. Tho light on Whalo Rock Is burn
ing low, but peoplo hero aro watching it anx
iously, for nobody know s at what moment tho
man In chargo may soe fit to turn it out and put
moving vessels In peril.
Nygriffo is a mlddlo-nged, strongly built
Swodo, who has been employed at Whalo Roclc
for several years. Ordinarily ho is of a peaceful
disposition, but when In drink he Is dangerous.
Lost night Capt. Allen suspoctod that bis as
sistant had boon drinking, and this morning
tho man started in with the obstinate intention
of gotting drunk. By evening ho was furious
and making threatB against Capt. Allen, who
had nttemptod to restrain htm from further in
dulgence. Finally tho Captain w ent up In tho
tower, telling Nygriffo to go to bed, nnd busied
hlmsolf with tho lamp, preparing to light it.
Whllo he was thus ongogod tho assistant
climbed the stairs qulotly and stepped into tho
tower. Ho had a carvlng-knlfo in bis hand.
" What are you doing hero 1" said Capt. Allen.
"I told you to go to bed and stay there." f
"That's what you told me," returned the as
sistant, "but I didn't havo to stay thero. 1'vo
had enough of you, and I've come up hero to kill
you."
Ho flourished tho carving knlfo and started
forward. Instantly Capt. Allen decided upon
his course.
"Wait until I fix tho light." bo said. "You
wouldn't want to have tho light left unlit."
"What do I care," roplicd tho Swede. "Let
the ship go to hell. I've como up hero to kill you
and I'm going to do It now."
As ho spoko Allen bad been edging around to
ward the man and now ho jumped for him. A
qulcK downward sweep of tho knife so narrow
ly mlssod him that It silt the back of his coat
almost the entire length, but that ono stroke
was tho only ono Nygrlffe had timo to
glvo before his opponent was clinchod with
him. Strive nnd strain as be would, the Swede
could not get his right arm freo to strike again.
Whirling bis superior nround, ho thrust him
violently against the wall, but Allen so turned
that his weight was thrown upon Nygrlffe's
right arm with crushing Impact, and tho knife
fell to tho ground.
Then begun a breast to breast wrestling match,
with Ufe or death as the result, and no human
being within threo miles to help or binder. The
powerful Swede tried to wear his enemy down
by superior strength, but the Captain is wiry
end agile and played a defensive game, exerting
his own strength only to meet the attacks of the
other. Nypritle's best efforts could not get the
Captain off his feet, and he was beginning to
weary.
By this time they had wrestled across to the
8 ther sldo of tho tower. Both men were breath
lg bard, and tho Swede, still at close grips, was
content to wait and get his wind. Once
Allen tried to trip mm. bat failed, and
was nearly thrown himself. Then both
waited, neither daring to release tho
other. About that knife lying far out of
reach at tho other sldo of the room Allen's
thoughts centred. He knew that he could not
get It: knew, too, that sooner or later his op
ponent wonld wear him down, and facing tbo
prospect of death if he failed he mado his plan.
This was to get the knife out of the way. His
opportunity soon came.
Presently the Swede renowed his wrestling
tactics. Allen, seeming to be worn out, but
still keeping his feet, kept edging over toward
the knile and dragging his subordinate with
him.
"You won't get It," panted Nygrlffe. thinking
that he had fathomed the schemo. "Let me get
in reach of It and I'll finish you."
Both men were almost stepping on it, when
Allen's bold suddenly relaxed, with a cry of
triumph tho Swodo stooped swiftly, stretching
forth his hand. His fingers were almost on tho
handle, when a foot shot out and the knifo went
spinning and sliding across the floor nnd.
with a groit rattling, down the steps.
Both men slopped and listened. From step to
step It fell, clanging; then, by the silence, they
knew that It hod stopped hnlf way down. With
a common Impulse they sprang npart. The
Swede ran for the weapon. Allen, bis ono Idea
being escape, was nt tho window in three steps.
A rope bung Inside. To throw It out, climb out
the window, nnd swing himself outside took but
a second. Hnlf way to the ground be heard
KygrifTo'sroursof rnge, then saw his form in
tho window, and felt him hacking at tho rope.
There was but one thing to do. and Allen did
It, Loosening bis hold, bo slid down so swiftly
that his bands were torn badly, but be was
safely on the ground, and within a few
rods was moored his rowboat. Into this
he Jumped and headed tor the nearest point
of tho shore, some two miles away, but huralj
had he started when bo bothought himself of the
other boat which he had left nnd hod neglected
to oast adrift. It w as too late now, for NygrilTe
had hurried dowiiBtalrs. nnd was already run
ning across to tho mooring place.
The battle was to lie followed by a pursuit To
the Captain's astonishment Nygritfe, lnsieud
of starting out at onco, ran back nnd disap
peared Inside the door. A moment later
this action was explnlnt-d. Ho reappeared
w Kb a gun In his hands, levelled it, took curof ul
aim at tho fugitive, and fired. Where tho bul
let went the Captain doesn't know, but It was
followed by another that ricochet ted past him
on the wator. Then Njgrilfo threw his gun
Into the boat, jumped in himself, and pushed off.
Under ordinary conditions Allen, who Is an
expert oarsman, could easily outrow tho Swede,
but bis torn hands marie every stroko pain
ful, and the handkerchlofs with which ho
hound tho ruw places to stuunch tho blood im-
eded his stroke. 81111, ho scorned to be
toldlng even with his pursuer, who was rowing
with a short, hurried btroke. Half way over
N)grltfo spurted and caught up n little, but tho
Captain's steady stroko kopt him at n safe dis
tance, and bo lnnded nearly a good 200 yards In
front. As he Jumped out of his boat thu Swrdo
sprang to bis foet and llred two more shots, then
fell to his nam again.
Allen ran straight for the nourcst road, plung
ing through n ornfW Id, where ho fell soteral
times. As he climbed the fence into the road
way he heard a shout from behind, which
he took to moan that his pursuor had
lnnded. Down the rood soma two miles and n
half lay Narrngansett I'ier. He set out on a trot
In this direction, but soon realized that his ex
haustion was such that he would never get
there. A few rods ahead was a farmhouse, and
hitched to a iiost was n horse. The oxhaustrd
man ran into the yurd, where ho was met by the
farmer.
"Lend me your horse, he cried. "There's n
man Just behind to ing to murder me,"
" How do I know w ho you nre I" demanded tho
farmer.
" I'm Capt. Allon of the lighthouse. My as
sistant has gono crazy and tried to kill me.
Look."
lie held up his torn hands. Anotbcrman camo
out of the house and recognized the Captain.
"Tnko tbo horse." ho said. "Ilo'll getjou
out of harm's way.
They helped him upon the animal's back, nnd
ha galloped away, barehai k and clinging for his
life. As be turned out from tho gate, Nygritfe,
still carrying his gun, came running down the
rond, fired at hlui, and ran on ng.iln, The two
farmers saw pursuer nnd pursued disappear
around a turn,
Ciipt. Allen reached this placo terribly ex
hausted. Ills clothing was torn half off, nnd he
was bruised and bleeding. On hearing his story
the pollco sot out after Njgrlffe, but hobad
glvon up the chase and returned, for at 10
o'clock to-night the red light appeared In the
lighthouse.
"Thank God for that," said Capt. Allen when
ho learned of It. "That takes the greatest
burden off my mind. I'll go out tomorrow."
It Is doubtful If Capt, Allen will be sufficiently
recovered to-morrow. Probably a revenue cut
ter will be sent to arrest Kygrliie. About a year
ngo be got drunk and attucked Capt. Allen, but
was subdued with the aid of visitors to the lighthouse.

Miss Henpla Sat Down In tho Tennis Court and
Her Mother Pried It Off.
BruDOEronT, Conn., Aug. 13. MlssClarallop
pln of Now Haven, who Is stopping at a eottago
at Pine Grove Camp Ground nt Canaan In Litch
field county, wna playing tennis on ono of tbo
courts near the grove yesterday. The bail
bounded Into some high graas noar tho court.
Sho went after It. and when sho emerged ono of
her girl companions noticed something like
a vino trailing along behind her skirt. Bho
called Miss Uoppln's attention to It. Miss Uop
pln looked around, but it seemed to havo fallen
off. Nothing more was thought of It and tho
gamo was continued.
After playing for about fifteen minutes Miss
Hoppln felt a peculiar sensation In ono of hor
legs. Sho seomed to bo losing control of It Sho
raised her skirt and was astonished to boo tho
head of a snako, with Us tongue darting out and
in, just above the top of tho boots sho wore. Bhe
called to tho girls to como. They gathered
about hor. How to got tho snnko off was tho
question. There woro no men In tho neighbor
hood to call for.
Ono of tbo girls started for tho grovo for help.
Before sho returned Mrs. Hoppln, tho mother,
arrlvod, Sho did not hesltato to attack tho
snake. Sbo told her daughter to sit down and
draw her Bkirts closo about her abovo the knees.
Then sho secured a stout stick and went to work
to pry tho snako off. At first It was not suc
cessful, tho snnko clinging tenaciously. Ab tho
work of removing tho snake progrtssed Miss
Honpln boenmo nervous,
"If that horrid thing isn't off therein a mlnuto
Bl certainly dlo," sho said. Her girl companions
s ood around nrmed with etoul sticks nnd with
their aklrts hold up to their knees and closo

London, Aug. 13. Tho Impression which has
long existed among English residents of India
and has boen discussed In tho Anglo-Indian
press that tho Amoor of Afghanistan is abetting
or conniving at the risings of tho frontier tribes
men has boen deepened ton startling extent by
a report circulated in Bombay to-day to the ef
fect that tho Ameer had recalled all his agents
In India.
A despatch from Bombay announces that an
Inquiry into tho reports proves that tho agents
at Bombay and Calcutta went from tholr posts
days ago. and tt affirms that thoso nt Simla, the
summer soit of .tbo Indian Government, und
at Kurrachco also havo gone.
It Is reported that tho Alfrodl tribesmen in tho
northwest hnvo risen. Tho Hindoos In Pcsha
wur, In tho Punjab, and on tbo Afghan frontier
express fears that tho Mohammedans will loot
their houses. Tho Government Is concentrating
two reserve brigades at Rawul Plndl, in the
Punjnb.
Ono report Is that tho Ameer Is fomenting
Mohamcdan disaffection in India, and that ho
has Bent thousands of copies of a pamphlet on a
Jehad, or holy war, to tho native Indian regi
ments. An effusion which nppcarod on July 27 In tho
Indian Dally A'ctr dwelt enthusiastically upon
thu victories that had been achieved by the Sul

tho Mohammedans had ended. They had
awakened from their sleep, nnd would recover
tho former glories and grandeur of Islam. Tho

London, Aug. 13. A despatch from Paris
confirms the statement already made from
Rome, that tbe Count of Turin has challenged
Princo Henri of Orleans to n duel. The particu
lars of tho challenge aro conflicting in soma
respects, but tho following details seem to be
well authenticated:
King Humbert, as head of the Italian army,
has assumed his ofilcerV quarrel with Princo
Henri, and has authorized tho Count of Turin,
who Is his nephew, to fight the Prince. Tho
challengo was sent by telegraph and the accept
nnco was received by tbe same means. The
Beconds of tho Count of Turin are
tho Marquis dl Ginori and Gen. dl Quln
to. They arrived In Paris this morning and
had a conference with Col. Lconticff and M.
Raoul Mncrichon, the Prince's seconds, at
which severe conditions for tho meeting wcro
arranged. Nobody will bo present when tho
duel Is fought except the principals, their sec
onds, and physicians. Tho place of meeting will
he on tho cslato of the Due de Chartres at fet.
I'lrmlii.
It was Btnied that the Connt of Turin had nr
rlvod In Paris this evening, but this Is not con
firmed. The duel Is not likely to bo fought be
fore Monday, despite soma assertions that it
w ill take placo to-morrow.
The challengo of thu Count of Turin rccehed
precedence over thnt of ficn. Albcrtonc. Tho
General has not abandoned his Intention to
meet tho Princo on tho field of honor to wipe
out the Insult ho oftcr"d to the Italians who
were captured by King Mcnelck of Abyssinia
during tho lito disastrous Italian campaign In
thnt country. Tho rhillengo that wns sent by
Lieut. Plnl of the Italian army, who wns selected
by bis companions to meet the Prince, will prob
ably bo abandoned.
It is snid that the fount of Turin Is nctlng out
of kindness to the Duchess of Aostn (Princess
Helcne of Orlcins), whoso position in Italy
might lonindo disigreeable by Prince Henri's
attacks upon the Italian army.
