Paris. March 15 The duel between Count
Bonl de Castollanp and M. do Rodajs Is
not lo be a farce."
The Figaro's editor is resolved to kill.
Count Bonl Is equally determined upon
blood-letting.
The latest news to be got of the affair
is that the duel will be fought early to
morrow morning.
The ground has been selected by the sec
onds, but it Is kept a profound secret.
It la resolved that there shall be no con
nlvanco with the police to prevent a meet
ing, as In the case of the Dcroulede-Buffct
fiasco In Switzerland.
No one will be present save the principals,
Eeconds nnd two doctors.
The choice of pistols by De Itodays is
significant.
He Is the best pistol shot In Paris.
Ho Is also an excellent swordsman, but 19
out of practice, nnd grown heavy with ago,
while Count Bonl practices with a rapier
with the best masters two hours dally.
e;ount lioni, on the other hand, is not a
crack shot.
Nevertheless the Count does not fear tho
ssuo.
Ho declares that the Insulto hn hni en
dured can only be wiped out with the blood
of the editor.
M. Pervlvier, ono of 31. de Rodnys's sec
onds, who Is comanager of tho Figaro, in
an interview to-day declared that the duel
would be absolutely private. He said:
"I will not tolerate tho presence of a
stranger. If otherwise. I will retire from
tne item.
"In my opinion It Is Improper to permit
persons attracted by unhealthy curiosity to
be present at a duel In which two men are
staking their lli-cs."

The shots will be exchanged at twenty
five paces.
The meeting Of the seconds to-day was
the result of a call upon Do Castellane last
evening which almost precipitated another
duel.
When they called, the Count declared
that he had so little expectation of a chal
lenge by 31. de Bodays that he really had
lot given a thought to the question of

j IWU H.UiiWATM,
Held Up and Robbed George Bar
ber, a Reporter, Almost Under
the Eves of Policemen.
On Fourteenth street, between O'Fallon
and Cass avenue, last night, two daring
highwaymen robbed George Barber, a
reporter, of a cold watch, a Baglan
overcoat, and a small amount of change.
Charles Shanks, alias "Butch," of No. I1T4
Madison street was arrested soon after
wards by Acting Sergeant McGuire and Of
ficers Pat Burko and Bloecher of tho
Fourth District, and Identified by Barter
' is the-Tna'rr who hadrobbed "him. T
Barber left a Cats avenue car at Four
teenth street and started south on Four
teenth street. Two men were approaching
from O'Fallon street, and as they came
near they separated to let Barber pass be
tween them. The block between O'Fallon
street and Cass avenue Is a double block,
very long and poorly lighted. Acting Ser
geant McGuire and Officer Bloecher were
standing on O'Fallon street by the Plus
Hospital, too far away to witness what was
taking place.
Just as Barber got between tho two men
they drew revolvers from their overcoat
pockets and ordered him to throw up his
hands. He hesitated a second and ran out
Into the street Tho highwaymen flanked
him at either side, and, saying, "This Is no
monkey business," ordered him back to the
fcidcwalk. The reporter was unarmed, and
'hrew up his hands. Tho robbers ordered
fm to take off his overcoat, and while one
5t fhem still held a pistol to his body, the
"other mado a hasty search of his pockets.
They had seen the police on O'Fallon street.
and so were In a great hurry to get away.
They took a gold watch valued at $200 and
JLS5. The reporter had $20 In an inside
pocket, but this the robbers missed In their
haste.
The robbers then ran north on Fourteenth
street to an alley and turned west. Barber
hunted up tho officers and Informed them
of the robbery. Acting Sergeant McGuire
and Officer Bloecher ran north on Four
teenth street, but could find no trace of tho
men. In company with the police. Barber
made a thorough search of the neighbor
hood. In a clubroom at No. 1433 Fourteenth
Ureet Barber picked out Charles Shanks
from a crowd, and Identified him as tho
man viho had gone through his pockets. A
Tarrant will be applied for this morning.
3everal other men wero orersted during the
night, but could not be identified.
GERMAN POLICY OUTLINED.
Von Buelow Declares Against An
nexation of Territory.
Berlin. March IS. The Imperial Chan
iellor. Count von Euelow, in a speech In
ho Belchstag to-day. admitted that differ
moes of "opinion had arisen between the
?owers In regard to the Chinese affairs,
ut he hoped they would bo overcome.
Tho Chancellor began by saying that the
tegotlatlons on the Chinese questions were
Baking slow, but steady, progress.
The question of Indemnities, the Chan
lellor continued, offered such difficulties
iat It has thus far prevented the drawing
of a programme acceptable to all tho
were. But China had unconditionally ad-
ber obligations and had granted
omptnsatlon.
Experts had been called In to revise the
lethods of paying indemnities. They were
pponed to the control of the whole Chinese
Itato systom. and regarded the maritime
titles, on Increase In which was possible.
COFFEE DID IT.

flect on SI. de Bodays angered the seconds
and It took some time to settle the con
troversy, after which to-day's meeting was
arranged. Count Bonl meantime agreeing to
name his seconds.
The Count Is an earnest duelist, and most
people' will be surprised if blood Is not shed.
Castellane took no pains to hide himself,
and Bodays was at the Figaro offlco for a
time.
Police interference Is not thought of. The
meeting will be. it Is thought. In the suburbs
of Paris.
A new version, in some respects, of the
attack upon De Bodays is given by M.
Morel, editor of the Journal, who accom
panied Count Bonl and his father to Do
Bodays's house.
Xcvr Veralon of Attnclc.
He says that when they reached Do
Bodays's house Marquis do Castelane, ad
dressing the editor, said:
"You have again Insulted my son."
M. do Bodays denied this, and then tho
Marquis asked:
"Didn't you read the Figaro?"
M. de Bodays replied in the affirmative,
but paid there was no insult In the article.
Then Count Bonl de Castellane said:
"Why, you call mo a traitor, and yet say
no Insult is meant. Please retract."
M. do Bodays replied: "I cannot. Must. I
understand that you como to insult me?"
Count de Castellane said:
"It Is not an Insult; it is something
worse."
Then, according to M. Morel, the Count
proceeded to administer a sound thrashing
to M. de Bodays. who made no resistance.
On retiring M. Morel said:
"You can add to the Figaro's story an
other one about tho thrashing of the edi
tor." cou:t givks a ijixxer.
Tho Echo de Paris correspondent was
received by Comte Bonl de Castellane at
V o'clock this evening. He was then busy
superintending arrangements for a ban
quet. Begarding the duel, he would only
say that ho had an "intuition" that it
would take place some time in the after
noon. A heap of telegrams lay on the
mantelpiece. '
"I suppose they are messages of congrat
ulation," said the reporter.
"Yes." replied the Comte; "though many
come from America, from the big dallies,
asking me to cable them 000 to 1.W0 words.
You may guess my reply.
"You see," he added, "I am giving a din
ner to-night, and am not much worried over
what is going to happen to-morrow."

AVhen the German troops will leave Pekln
has not been decided.
"We will depart from Pekin," he said, "as
Foon as we get sulllcient guarantees, hop
ing never to return, and leaving the remain
der of tho wbrk to our missionaries and our
merchants. Count von Waldersee's com
mand will be retained only as long as the
situation demands and the Powers desire."
Beferrlng to the punishments inflicted on
the mandarins as a result of Boxer atroci
ties, the Chancellor asserted that the Pow
ers were not actuated by a thirst for blood,
but by a desire to make an example of the
guilty. To let them go free would have
amounted to a churter for similar misdeeds
in the future.

said to me that there Is nothing serious the

Board Committee Believes Funds

Owing to a shortage of funds." said

the lighting of public buildings will likely
be one of the first imnortanL nroblems for

Courts, old City Hall and temporary City
Hospital, but it 19 doubtful whether that
cherished hope will be realized for some

make a new contract for one year, and
In the interim provide for the municipal
plant."
A communication directed to the House
of Delegates on July 10, last year, and
Hied by that body on the, same day, showed
that a municipal plant would cost, by es
timate, about $33,000, and that about from
$10,000 to $13,000 would be saved annually.
