who had gathered from many miles
around, to show their sympathy with
the owner of Altyr. The provost of
Forres, upon the arrival of Sir William
and Lady Gordon Cumming at that
place, made them public address of
welcome, and presented them with the
congratulations of the inhabitants OF
the town. The address in substance de-
clared that the inhabitants of Forres
had heard with lively satisfaction Of, the
celebration of Sir William Gordon Cum

BCCARAT AFTERCLAPS.
WILLIAM GORDON CUMMINGS IN
TEND TO PUBLISH A BOOK AND
TELL ALL.-ALFRED KENNARD,
ARMY OFFICER, TAKES SIR WILL
LIAM's SIDE AGAINST THE PRINCE
AND THE WILSON'S.
He Was the Victim of Persecution.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Alfred Ken
nard, retired officer in the British ar
my and formerly member of parlia-
ment from Lymington, arrived at the
Victoria hotel yesterday. He is per-
sonally acquainted with both the Will
sons and Sir William Gordon Cumming.
Speaking of the now famous baccarat
suit, he said:
1.-THE verdict was not at all sur
prise. In nv mind it was great
breach of hospitality for the Wilson's to
have made known TO the Prince OF
Wales their suspicion that Sir Gordon
was cheating. 1t was also a foolish
thing for them to get him to sign that
paper. Again, 1 think the Wilson's
lowered themselves completely when
they set traps for the supposed
cheater while he was a guest at their
house. Sir Gordon will be compelled
to give up his commission in the army,
and the verdict means his social ruin.
He will be in duty bound to resign from
all his clubs. This alone will be great
blow. for he has been great club man.
There will be many clubs that will want
to retain him on their rolls. but it vial
Wilson's are not as high in society as
some people think. That they have
had the prince OF Wales as their guest
does not by any means make them
members of the best society. They are
very wealthy and that's all. Mrs Will
son is now sighted and snubbed
by many people who were
her friends. The prince of
Wales might easily have stopped
the entire scandal mad he wished. But
he went out of his way several times to
make remarks concerning Sir Gordon.
The people of London look on the mat
ter as persecution, pure and simple.
Although the Wilson's are seemingly
indicated from all stain by the YER
dict. the end is not yet. They will suf-
fer long for their short sightedness in
this affair. They will be cut by many
of those whom they have formerly
counted on as their friends. But they
have succeed in running forever the
social life of an honored soldier and
thoroughly good fellow"

Realizes His situation.

LONDON. June 16.-The prince OF
Wales. who at first was disposed to
treat the baccarat matter lightly, has
nov awakened to the seriousness of his
position. The London correspondent
OF the Leeds Mercury says that he has
kod reasons to state that that the Hon.
Edward Stanhope will apologize on
wednesday to the house of commons
in behalf of the prince of Wales for the
share the latter took in connection
with the baccarat scandal
1t is currently reported that Lord
Goleridge, the lord chief justice of Eng
land, who presided at the trial OF Sir
William Gordon Cumming, in his suit
against the wilson's and others, will
take official notice of the charge made
against him by Sir William, the sub
stance of which is that the verdict of
the jury would have been entirely diff

for the defendants which thegIord chief
justice showed in his summing up to

Crop Statistics.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The report
OF the statisticiah department of agri
culture- makes the area in winter wheat
compared with the breadth harvested
last year 1ll.5; spring wheat, 1884;
barley, 107.1; rye. 1O1.5: oats, 979
Conditions: Winter wheat. 96.6:
spring wheat, 92.6; barley, 9O.3; rye,
5.4: oats, 81.
In comparison with 1889 the increase
in wheat acreage is quite moderate.
The reduction last year of more than
100000 acres suggests reason for
most of the present increase. This adj
vance is, therefore, both the replacing
and development of the former, notably
in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas Califor-
Eia, Washington, Oregon, the Dakotas,
and in several territories.
These violent fluctuations make in
vestigatien difficult and in some dis
tI.icts will render. necessary a supple
mentary work. To this extent the
present estimates may be considered
preliminary. The condition OF winter
wheat has declined only per cent.
Averages are, for New York 90;
Pennsylvania 81. Georgia %. Ohio 80,
90, Indiana 80. Illinois 90,
Missouri 80, Kansas 90. The first month

was called upon to sign that document:
how the prince OF Wales plays the role
