CANADA'S NEW PREMIER.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 13.-Hon. j. j. G.
Abbott has been called upon to form a
ministry and has undertaken the task II
was in conformity with his excellency's
desire that Mr. Abbott undertook the
formation of cabinet, and the honorable
gentleman's decision was arrived at with a
full understanding with those of his col
leagues who have been spoken of in con
nection with the premiership, and with
assurances from them of their cordial sup
port.
The names of the members of the gov
ernment will be made known Tuesday
next, when the house of commons meets

disappointment to the Chapleau wing.

ference today with Mr. Abbott and left
tonight for Montreal to confer with his
friends there. Mr.. Abbott has been about
thirty-five years in public life, and is II

THE "BACCARAW" RACKET

LONDON, June 13-The prince of Wales
and the duke of Cambridge came to town
this morning, it is said, on important
business The prince left this afternoon
in order TO be present at the royal picnic
at Virginia Water 1t is generally under
stood that the princes flying visit was
connected with the baccarat scandal. The
prince, who at first was disposed to treat
the baccsrat matter lightly, has now
awakened to the seriousness of his posi-
tion.
The London correspondent OF the Leeds
Mercury says that he has good reason to
state that the Hon. Edward Stanhope, sec
retary of state for war will apologize on
Monday next in the house of commons on
behalf of the prince Of Wales for the share
the latter took in condoning the conduct
OF Sir William Gordon Cumming at Tran
by Croft in September last.
The Church Times advises the prince of
Wales to sign a remuneration of card play
ing in the presence of the Archbishop OF
Canterbury and Lord Salisbury. This. it
says, would have tremendous moral e.
feet upon society and would not harm the
prince.
The Scottish Leader, of Edinburg, today
says that at the ti:-le of the financial crisis
known rs the Argentine an Barring Bros
/ crisis several tnauciers who had loaned
large sums Of money to the prince OF
" VlSS htIt bbAl8tI 10 ASK MIN the fe-
turn Of the money they had loaned him
Their demands put the prince into a seri-
Gus Fix for time, until Mr.. Arthur Vii
son, at whose house the famous baccArat
games were played, came 10 his assistance
ana loaned him $1,000, 600. with which the
prince paid back some of the money loaned
him by other financlers.

who presided at the trial of Sir William
| Gordon Cumming in his suit against the
Wilson's and Others, viii take official notice
OF the charge made against him by Sir
/ William. the substance of which is that
the verdict OF the jury would have been
entirely different had it not been for the
partlality for the defendants which the
lord chief justice showed in his summing
up and charge 10 the jury.

BERLIN. June 1S-There is no disguis-
ing the fact that the strong adverse Amer
ican criticisms OF the Society or St
Raphael are deeply resented by the Roman
Catholics of the German empire. Herr
Cahensly. member of the Prusslan diet,
who is the general secretary and controll-
ing mind of the Society of st. Raphael.
was interviewed today by an Associated
Press representative upon the subject OF
these adverse criticisms.
Herr Cabensly said that the Society OF
St Raphael does not pursue any specially
German policy, but that, on the contrary,
it is composed of prominent Roman Cath
olics who belong TO many of the principal
nations of Europe. Herr Cahensly added:
"It is a well known fact that the Irish IN
America obtain all the bishoprics possible
for themselves, as they did in the case of
the archbishopric of Milwaukee, when,
with the exception of Archbishop Corri-
gan, they all tried to defeat the election OF
a German. We do not wish to interfere
with American politics. All we desire Is
TO have the German, the Slav, the Italian
and the Frenchman under the care of a
priest of his own nationality, wherever
this is possible" Continuing, Herr
Cahensly said: Eve acknowledge the
of the church of America, but we also
wish TO protect the interests of German
and other Catholic immigrants"
From another source the Associated
Press correspondent obtained a view of a
second memorial which has been distrib-
uted to all the cardinals in support OF
Herr Cahensly's scheme. This second
memorial was drawn up and printed with
the greatest secrecy. 1t recapitulates the
arguments and statements of the memorial
to the pope published in New York n
May 2S, and asserts that the great loss in
number of the faithful in America is due
TO the absence of Catholic schools The
second memorial also quotes a statement,
as coming from the Catholic Review of
New York city, to the effect that 80, 600
Catholic children are lost to the faith each
year in New York alone. 1t also asserts
that the Irish priests ia America are ad-
verse to parochial schools, and that they
do not found them in every place where it
is possible to found them. The second
memorial also states that foreign CathO-
olics are forced to pay for the privilege of
entering the Catholic church, and contin-
ues the argument in favor of the idea of
nationaliZing the Catholic bishops in the
United States, claiming that the plan is
supported by the most distinguished rep
reseDtatives of the countries from which
the tides of emigration flow, and asserting
that the adoption of the project would in
crease the influence of the holy see and
augment the yearly amount of Peters
pence.

RUSSIAN INTOLERANCE.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 13.-The Jewish
persecution is extending to all foreigners in
Russia, especially to Germans, Poles and
Tartars For months past the press
headed by the Novoe Vremya has been
warning against the Tartars. accusing
them of being secret enemies of Russia
and the orthodox church. This move
ment, however, is only in its infancy.
Prince Kropatkin, governor general of
Transcaspia. has signed a secret order ex-
pelling all Polish engineers and employees
engaged in building and working the Cen
tral Asian railway They did all the best
work and filled about seventy-ive per
cent of the responsible positions. The
same order gradually expells all foreigners
engaged in the service except Frenchmen.
Among the Jews expelled from Moscow
are many old soldiers, some decorated
with the St. George Cross, the highest
possible reward for valor on the field.

TOPEKA. Kan, June 13.-Attorney Gen
eral Ives today announced that the law
passed at the last session of the legislature
creating board of public works, Is un-
constitutional. The attorney general says
that the repeating clause in the new law
does not repeal the section intended
which would have abolished the old law
and provided for the board, but. instead,
repeals law permitting a township. in
Lyon county to issue school bonds. This
the attorney general says, invalidates the
new law and makes illegal the new board
of public works.

ITALIAN IMMIGRATION.

NEW YORK, June 13-According to q
cable received in this city, the steamship
California has started from Gibraltar with
only 153 steerage passengers. The Cali
fornia belongs to the Anchor line, which
line of vessels from Mediterranean ports
carries mostly Italians. The general average
Of steerage passengers is from 800 10 200.
The agent OF the line thinks that the bot
tom has fallen out of the Italian immigra-
tion business. Col Weber, superinten-
dent of immigration, says that this is due
to the vigorous policy pursued for the past
few months in barring and sending back
all undesirable immigrants
