M. Raymond Poincare, famous prime minister of France, was elected president of that country January 17, for the term of seven years. He had 483 votes as against 296 cast for his opponent. He was insulted by M. Clemenceau at the opening of the National Assembly for the election of the president, and at once challenged him to a duel, but it was said an explanation followed and the duel was averted.
