OUTCOME OF SPEECH. CHALLENGE TO A DUEL. DIPLOMATIC SECONDS. Received March 9, 5.5 p.m. Paris, March 7. There was great excitement late in the afternoon in the lobbies and the Chamber when it was learned that M. Poincare had sent seconds to the Royalist, de Launay, owing, apparently, to de Launay using the word “felony ’ in an interjection during the Premiers speech in the Chamber. The seconds (the Minister for War and the Minister for the Colonoies) agreed with de Launay’s seconds, after half an hour s conference, that there was no cause for a duel.
