QUEEN VICTORIA ALSO TAKES A HAND

LONDON, June 11.-Sir William Gordon
Cumming and his bride are suffering the
ignominy of ostracism. The newly welded
pair were absolutely cut by the society at
Wollston Hall in Nottinghamshire, county
seat of Lord Middleton, to which they went
yesterday after the wedding. Not one of
of the neighboring families has called on
them, and when they arrived at the railway
station yesterday they were ignored by
those gathered around, and were compelled
to drive to the hall in cab.
1t was understood last night that if Sir
William Gordon Cumming had not re-
signed from all the clubs of which he was a
member steps would have been taken for
his immediate expulsion from each club
A member of Parliament who is well in
formed in the matter says: ''There will not
be single club in London in which Sir
William ordon-Cumming will be able to
enter, and all doors will be closed to him.
The continental clubs which are in CORE
spondence with English clubs will also
refuse him admittance. No English
minister abroad will receive him.
The Liberal Radical Society of Scotland
has sent to the Prince of Wales resolution
passed by that organization condemning his
action in connection with the baccarat case,
and calling upon him, to resign his COM
mission in the army.
The outspoken press comments upon the
part the Prince of Wales played in the bac-
ol J. Ia IL or
the day in England and elsewhere. A news
paper reporter who was present near the
Prince of Wales at Ascot to-day, when the
race for the gold cup was won by Lord
Hartington's Morton, telegraphs that
the Prince of Wales, who witnessed
that event, was in a very sulky frame of
mind, caused, it would appear, by the
storm of adverse newspaper criticism which
has swept and is still sweeping over the
heir apparent. The religious press, as
might be expected, is the most severe in
its comments on the Princes conduct
At the Conference to-day ofthe Glamorgan-
shire Congregational Churches at Cardiff, the
conduct of the Prince of Wales in the bac-
carat scandal was denounced.
Victoria Calls Wales to Account.
1t is said that the Queen is so deeply
sUlTTeu up over tue DdccardC IeVelaClOnS tQag
she has directed the Prince of Wales to
make an early personal explanation of his
conduct, and that some of the Princes as
sociates in the game may be made to feel
the royal displeasure. The Secretary of
State for War has been overwhelmed with
letters demanding that action be taken
against the implicated officers.
The municipal authorities of Forres, in
the vicinity of Sir William Gordon-Cum-
ming's seat, Altyre, have decided to extend
festive welcome to Sir William Saturday,
on the occasion of his return home with his
bride.
The Prince Talked Too Much.
The fact that in his examination in the Cum
ming case the Prince was not asked whether
he divulged the secret of the precis, while
all the other parties to the affair were ques-
toned on that point, is taken as confrma-
tion of the rumor that the secret did
actually owe its publicity to the careless
tongue of His Royal Highness. The story
is that the Prince confded the morsel of
gossip to Lady Brooke, who in turn re-
vealed it to a friend of hers, who happened
to have been scored by Sir William Gordon
Cumming, and who at once saw in this
episode the opportunity for her revenge.
Sir William Gordon-C Cumming has writ
ten q letter to Nottingham newspaper, in
which he says: 81 am of the opinion that
but for the gross partiality shown by the
Lord Chief Justice in summing up, the case
