LONDON, Enc, June 10.-A precis of the
court proceedings was telegraphed each
night to the Queen. who is now ut Balmo-
raj Castle, in Scotland. and Her Majesty is
said to have expressed her displeasure in
such strong terms that Truth, of this city,
asserts that it would not be surprised If the
Court of Queens Bench revelations were

ing his Office as Master of Her Maiesty's
Buckhounds. or Chief Of the Royal Hunt
of Her Maiesty's Household, for which Of
fee the Earl draws an .annual salary OF
1900.
oPENLQ ANGYY.
The Queen does not attempt TO conceal
the fact that she is angry with every one
connected with the bacearet scandal, and
the effects of the royal displeasure may yet
be felt in several quarters.

MoRR PRESS COMMENT" ROYALTY AT THE
STAKE
LONDON, Enc, June 1G.-The Star to-day
under the heading of Royalty at the
Stake,p says that the Prince of Wales is
the male head of his race. The women of
his house are virtuous, self-restrained, and
reliant. The English people throughout
the world want the men to be more like
the women of this royal line; adding;
This is proud country. and the man
who aspires TO represent Englishmen must
keep everything about him fresh and
bright, and must be exceedingly jealous Of
a baccarat-banker and as a specialist in
gaming
DEFENCE OF THE WILSON'S.
The PdH-MdH Gazette this afternoon
strongly defends the Wilson's, whom the
Gazette declares took a perfectly reason
able and honorable course"
The Gazette adds: They could not stop
playing, as 1t was evident that the Prince
came to the house to play baccarat and for
nothing else. Nobody who gave due
weight 10 the evidence couldpossibly come
TO any other conclusion than that Sir Will
liam Gordon Cumming was guilty. Every
body knows that the tastes of the Prince
and of the Princes set are little, if not
exactly low, and that he prefers ch,c TO cul-
ture. IL is absurd 10 stickle about the
Prince playing baccarat when we give
publicists carte blanche TO blackguard."
NOT SURE OF CUMMINGS GUILT.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon says
il is not sure of the positive guilt Of Sir
William Gordon-Cumming, who, it adds,
will not go into retirement without the
sympathy of many who remember that he
served his country well. This is more than
can be said of the vulgar pdrUenus, male
and female. and of the self-indulgent fops.
who set themselves to spy upon and hound
hsm TO ruin.
THE plain truth is that there is a
rowdlness, cOarseness, and vulgarity OF
tone about society which has been stead
iiy growing of late years. The refinement
and distinction of the salons Of a decay
ago is vanishing, and amusements are be-
coming noisier, rougher, and more
coarsely ostentatious every year"
ATTACK ON WILLIAMS AND COVENTRY.
The Globe this afternoon strongly at
tacks General Owen Williams and Lord
Coventry, as officers of the highest rank
and social position, for entering into a
compact to permit Sir William Gordon
Cumming 10 mix with and TO retain the
respect OF his fellow officers and of society
when they fxedly believed HIM guilty OF
card-sharping. The Globe adds that they,
with the Prince of Wales, seemed to pre-
fer the most imprudent course, resulting
in a scandal, of which it is impossible for
the most tolerant to think without the
deepest pam.
BERTHE SADLY DISAPPOINTED.
"The leader of English society has dis
PLAYED the most disappointing indifference
TO his responsibilities"
The provincial newspapers also strongly
condemn the Prince of Wales connection
with the scandal.
