NATIONALIST HIS ADVERSARY Tremble Arose Over Assertion That Official Shook the Hand of Drey fus at the Hoine of the Late -. Novelist Zola. PARIS, Oct G. The death of Emile Zola was the indirect cause of a duel to day between General Percln, chief of the Cabinet of the Minister of War and Gas ton Pollanals, a well-known Nationalist, who was responsible for the statement that General Percln met Dreyfus at Zola's late residence and shook hands with him. The General In his letter replying to the Question of Count Boni de Castellane on this subject, described M. Pollonals as a "renegade Jew" and also told the Count he did cot admit the latter had any right to judge his actions. M. Pollonais then challenged General Percln and they fought with swords near St. Cloud today. The General was slightly wounded in the hand. The dilel occurred on the estate of Colonel Picquarfs brother-in-law, M. v5asL It lasted for 25 minutes, and both men fought vigorously. M. Pollanals was pricked In the arm in the first encounter. General Percln's sword broke in the fifth round. The General received his wound in the hand in the seventh encounter. A vein and a tendon were severed. The doctors then stopped the duel. REVOLT OX BILL SPREADING. British Edncatlon Measure la Alarm ing: All England. NEW YORK, Oct. C Revolt among the supporters of the Government against the education bill is spreading and Is becom ing more pronounced, cables the London correspondent of. the Tribune. Almost every day during the last week the news papers have contained convincing evidence of this fact. Four or five prominent Con servatives who aleo are churchmen have orenly declared themselves hostile to the bill 1n its present form. But the political situation is still more interesting by. the determined stand taken against the measure Dy the Liberal Union ises of Birmingham. There Is trouble. in the Chamberlain camp, and though the Colonial Secretary affects to trea't the matter lightly It is- clear,-from' the fact that he has. summoned a conclave of his supporters for tomorrow, that the mat ter cannot be dismissed with a sneer at the revolting 200. The conference will be a private one and the country may have to wait until life middle of the month, when Premier Balfour pays his political visit to Man chester, for some explicit statement as to the intentions of the Government. MIXERS VOTE OX STRIKE TODAY. Frenchmen "Want an Elprht-IIou Day and Old-Ase Pensions. PARIS, Oct. 6 The delegates to the national convention of French miners will meet tomorrow to decide whether an Immediate general strike is to be ordered. Agitation in favor of this measure has been in progress for some time. It is es timated that 25,000 men hive already stopped work in the northern coal fields, but no serious disturbances have yet oc curred, the government having sent gen darmes and troops to the threatened points. The demands of the miners include fixed minimum wages, an eight-hour day and the establishment of old-age pen sions. A strong minority of the miners is actively opposing the strike. BOERS IX BRUSSELS. Crowds Greet Them on Their Arrival in That City. BRUSSELS, Oct. 6. The Boer Generals, Botha, Dewet and Delarey, arrived here this evening and were greeted by an im mense crowd. In a speech from a bal cony of his hotel, General Dewet reit erated that they had not come to Europe to seek vain succor to regain their inde pendence, but to obtain help in repairing the ravages of the war. In a subsequent address Dewet said: "In the presence of this Immense en thusiasm we ask ourselves why was there no Intervention? God willed that we should lose our independence, and we will remain faithful to our new country if the conditions of peace are observed." XO WORK FOR EX-SOLDIERS. Englnnd Is Worrying Over Employ ment for Returning Troop. NEW YORK. Oct 6. Secretary William St John Brodrlck and the other War Office authorities are puzzled to know what to do for the unemployed reservists and discharged soldiers now returning from South Africa, says a London dis patch to the Tribune. The demobilization of the army at the Cape is throwing back upon the English labor market thousands of able-bodied workers, for whom there Is no apparent opening. Many of the re turned reservists are in distress, and it is hardly to be expected that there will be a great diminution in the figures. SWEDISH RIGSDAG COXVEXES.

A bill attacking the validity of the lease entered into between the Chicago' & Alton Railway Company and the Chicago & Alton Railroad In April, 1900, by which all the property owned by the former was transferred to the latter for a period of 99 years, was filed in the Circuit Court today by Henry D. Laughlln, a minority stockholder in the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company. Laughlln declares that E. H, Harrlman and his associates, Including George" J. Gould,' M. H. Shift and others secured a controlling interest In the Chicago & Al ton Railroad Company and after execut ing the lease, caused a fictitious issue and Increase of incorporation stocks and bonds, "by which the holders of the ma jority of the stock of the Chicago & Al ton greatly profited and the minority stockholders correspondingly lost. This process, Laughlln declares. Is "vul garly known as a squeeze." Laughlln is now seeking to have the lease declared Invalid; to have all the property demised by the lease returned to the Chicago & Alton and to have an accounting taken between both concerns. Laughlln avers that it Is reliably reported that a sale of the Chicago & Alton Railroad Is under consideration. It the sale is made, the complainant asserts. It will be to some other railway in which Harrlman and his associates are far more Interested than they are now In the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company and will be "on such terms and for such a price as will still further enrich them and Impoverish Laughlln and other minority sharehold ers of the company."

STAND. Leading: Financial Papers Allnde to Barons' Spirit as "Lunacy of Fancied Greatness." " BERLIN. Oct. G. The coal strike In the United States Is attracting more and more attention here. The newspapers print i rather full accounts of the conference at I Washington. The press takes sides with the miners and censures the operators for their unyielding attitude. The Frankfurt er Zeitung, regarded as the best financial authority in Germany, today devotes a leading editorial to the strike. It alludes to the spirit of tihe operators as "lunacy .of fancied greatness," and adds: "When the coal combination sees it is able to throw 70,000,000 people into anxiety, It will naturally get the Idea that It holds pos session by the grace of God, like the pot entates of old Europe." This paper also alludes to the probable ' effect on the Continent of the withdrawal of English coal for the United State's, and says It is probable England will draw from the Continent the deficit caused by the shipments to the United States, and con cludes: "Hence, If the strike continues, the price of coal will rise on the Continent."

Twenty-Five Steamers Chartered for Trips to- Boston and New Yorlc. LONDON, Oct. 6. Reports from Cardiff say that 25 steamers have been secured for early sailing from South Wales ports for New York and Boston, and it is said American purchases during the last week at Cardiff alone totaled 100,000 tons, of which S0,000 tons were for New York. The purchases at Swansea last week totaled 20.000 tons. It Is estimated that the Welsh coal sales for America aggregate 200,000 tons since the rush began. Anthracite coal is now quoted at the highest price ( which It has ever reached In this coun- , try. A prominent coal dealer on the ex- ' change said to a representative of the As- j sociatcd Press today: "I should not be surprised If retail coal in London reached $10 per ton during the next week." A representative of a big Swansea an thracite company said: "While we are selling every ton of hard coal we can spare for America, the increase in price is affecting us adversely In other ways. We have spent $5000 yearly during the -last 10 years to popularize anthracite for house use In England. We have kept up stove stores and agents in London and else where, and we were just beginning to make headway, and now this big Jump in j prices tnreatens to put oack our crcsade for several years at least."
