Ocean Competition.

SPOKANE, FALLS, WASH, May 29 At the session of the Interstate Commerce Com mission In the hearing of the complaint of the Merchants Union of this city, the point upon which witnesses were mainly examined was the ocean competition which the transcontimental roads have to meet at their Pacific Coast terminals. It was shown in evidence, much to the surprise of everybody, that only two vessels came into Puget Sound with merchandise from At lantic sea ports during the six months end ing January l, 1891, and that during the year ending last April only eight vessels came into Portland with merchandise from Atlantic ports. J. M.- Hanaford, General Traflc Manager of the Northern Pacific Railroad, admitted on cross examination that the ocean tonnage coming around Cape Horn with which his road came in competition in the past year did not amount to more than 5000 tons, which was less than one tenth of the tonnage brought into Spokane by his road alone. When this case is concluded the Commissioners will take up test case brought by the Farm ers' Alliance of Washington affecting rates on grain shipped to the Coast.

LONDON, June 2.-The famous Bacca rat scandal trial, otherwise the action of Sir William Gordon Cumming against Mir. and Mrs. Lycett Green, Mrs. Arthur Wilson, Mir. Arthur Wilson and Mir. Berkeley Lovett, for islander, commence before Lord Chief Justice Coeridge to day in the Queens bench division of her Majesty's High Court of Justice.
 Long before the hour 1l a. m.) fixed for the hearing of this important case the court room was filled with crowds of fash ionable people, who had luck enough to obtain one of the much coveted tickets granting them the right to be present at the long expected Baccarat revelations.
 Lord Coleridge, in disposing of the seats in the court room, had to resist much pres. sure from swar ms of aristocratic notabili. ties, male and female, who desired to be present and who seemed to be under the impression that they had right to be present, and that 1t was for tho Lord Chief Justice to see that this alleged right was respected. But Lord Coleridge was not so easily "bulldozed.n He gave orders that admission to he court was to be by special tickets only, and he announced that he would be able to accommodate only few of the most distinguished applicants with seats beside him on the bench reserving the main body of the court for members of the bar, witnesses, iurymen and about thirty five newspaper representatives.
 The Prince of Wales was in attendance as witness, but did not testify. as the whole of the first day was consumed by the opening of the prosecution and the testi- mony of the plaintiff, Sir William Gordon Cumming.
