Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
Vienna, September 26.
In the Austrian Reichsrath Herr Wolff, the leader of the German party, referred to what he called the rascality of Count Badeni, the President and Minister for the Interior in the Austrian Cabinet. In consequence of this remark a duel was fought with pistols, the result being that Count Badeni was wounded. The bullet entered one of his wrists and emerged above the elbow.
September 27.
Local society is delighted at the spirit shown by Count Badeni in fighting the duel. It is believed that the Emperor sanctioned his meeting Wolff, and refused to accept his resignation as Premier. Count Badeni's wound is not dangerous.
