Ilrnml Si. Wilmington, Keb. 2. While no di rectly authentic announcement has been mndc, there is every indication hero tluit Alfred I du Pont nud JMerre S. du Pont, nftcr several jcars of legal fights, hno buried the hatchet, The first indication of this came a few days ngo when state newspapers owned or controlled by Alfred, which had been bitterly opposing the new fcchool code, for lileh Pierre wns held lepponsible, editorially withdrew that opposition and began giving praise to Picrie and iidvocating the code. Next the Alices, of Dover, who, had been re garded as Alfred's chief political lieu tenants in opposition to the regular He publican organization, which had nl wajs been friendly to Pierre, though the latter never took an nctivo part iu poli tics, began to drop out of party man agement. So now there appears to be no fight in the Republican party, everjbody con sidering that Alfred has "made it up" with his party enemies, and it looks as jf all would work along together, polit ically und otlierwiifec. As all litigation is over and Aided seems to hi about to retire from active politicul diicftion, he is believed to have gotten out of the fight cnlliely. It is believed also that he will be taken back into the management of the du Pont PowdcrOo., and that he will bo con sulted in political matters by those whom he has been fighting heretofore.
