Something ought to be done to stop the
game"
Answering questions put to her by lead
ing counsel for the plaintiff Mrs. Wilson
said that ON the night of Sept. the prince
of Wales asked her if it was not possible to
provide baccarat table for the night fol-
lowing. This, Mrs Wilson explained, was
before the prince knew anything of the
attempted cheating on the part of Sir
William Gordon Cumming. Consequently
for the next second) nights play-that of
Sept. ga fresh table was provided, but
this was not done on account of Sir Will
lam Gordon Cumming, though it was
hoped that its use would prevent recur-
renee of the evidence of the previous
night. The witness husband, Mr.. VIII
son, ST., she continued. had objected to
baccarat playing because in his opinion
the play might become high "among hot
headed boys" [Laugnter'1 On a pre-
vious occasion, she continued, the sum of
600 had got into the bank, which amount
her husband thought was too large.
"Why did you tell the prince of Wales
that your husband objected TO baccarat?"
asked Sir Edward Clarke.
Because" replied Mrs. Wilson, Eve
were such a staid. non-gambling party
that we did not think that there could be
much harm from quiet game at bacca-
rat"
"And," continued the solicitor-general,
although you bad been told that one of
your guests had been cheating, you sat at
the next nights play? ?"
Yes" answered Mrs. Wilson quietly.

it is declared that he went to the length
of employing agents to solicit business
for him. According to the Times story,
Carpenter was entrapped into the adj
mission that he had thirty-five cases on
hand, and he offered the report
ers, who were OStensIbly seek
ing work, $40 for each case
they would bring him. Carpenter has
been arrested twice upon the charge of
performing criminal operations, but has
been discharged both times for lack of
evidence. His customers are said to
have been drawn from Capitol hill, as
well as the lower parts of the city.
When confronted by a reporter DR..
Carpenter was dumbfounded, but man.
aged to stammer out denial of every
thing. In fact, he said he was not a
doctor, though he admits having studied
medicine. He said he would consult
his lawyer and then make it hot for
the people who had traduced him, but
up to late hour tonight he has done

the tide seemed to set slowly towards
Ireland, and the silk moved along inch
after inch over the disputed ground un-
til the two and half-foOt interstice was
reached. Then terrific yell signalled
the event, AM the Norwegians' courage
was ruptured. When the pistol shot
sounded the IrshmeR had scored a
victory and enthusiasm ran rampant.
The Canadians and the BohemianS
participated i'll the last tug of the even
ing. This was spirited contest from
the drop. The giants from Bohemia
took the aggressive, and in one minute
SIX inches were shown 20 their credit.
Then the sturdy Canucks, with their
sklll and experience, began to fight the
ground inch by inch until the bunting
showed four inches to their credit.
Sklll showed against main strength, for
the BohemlanS represented Drawn
IN copious doses. Ten minutes
elapsed and the cheers of tine partIsanS
echoed through the hall as the bunting
showed full foot and the red, white
and blue silk moved OH towards the
Canadian goal. Five minutes they rest
ed. each team eying their rivals with
| Jealousy. At the expiration of fifteen
minutes the ribbon showed about the
same position despite occasional desper-
ate pulls. Then it became a see-saw-
! an inch one way and back again-in-
variably stopping at the foot mark.
As the watch indicated the eX-
piratiOn of thirty minutes. with
mighty effort the Canucks
Surged and the anchor took up the slack
as the bunting crossed the two and a
half cleat. 1t was now only question
OF endurance. Could they hOld out
against the ponderouS weight of their
antagonists? They realized the ext
gencies and settled down to a simply
defensive attitude. The Bohemians lost
heart, and five minutes later the ribbon
was foot more to the goal, and when
the pistol signaled the forty minute linn
itatiOn the silk was four feet towards
the Canadians goal. The victory was
awarded the little team accordingly.
This evening the sport will begin at
0:15 sharp. The coutesting teams will
be:
Germany against America, Canada

GILLIAN JEALOUSIES.
Financier Edwards Is Dissatisfied
and SulkinC

VALPARAISO, Dec. 3.-The decision
of the supreme court virtually quashing
the proceedings against BalmacedisU
members of congress gives general sat-
isfaction, except to the extremists. Sew
eral who had disappeared when the
proposed prosecution was announced
have made their appearance again, and
others are expected to return. 1t is re-
ported that Senior Augustin Edwards,
who was the chief financial supporter of
the revolution IN Chill. has been show
ing dissatisfaction ever since the
result of the presidential election.
Edwards having been the choice of
the CongressionalstS for the presidency
before the struggle began. The sup
planting of Edwards by Admiral Montt
is looked upon as the triumph of the
sword over civilian. The successful
party is divided by other jealousies that
have been growing since the victors got
the prize they were fighting for.
The examination before the Judge of
crimes continues to drag along. The
evidence of the Baltimore sailors left
no doubt of the unprOvOked nature of
the assault upon them, and that it was
prompted by hatred of Americans. AL
though the English here charged the
Americans with trying to bully the Chill
ianS, they now change their tone, and
go about accusing the Americans of
cOwardice in not having cXacted redress
at once.

SHANGHAI, Dec. Sit is stated that
the French minister has made an i'm
perative demand OH the Chinese gov
ernment for the punishment of the
rebels who perpetrated the massacre of
the Belgian priests and nuns, and also
the exemplary degradation and punish
ment Of the Mandarins who feasted and
encouraged the rioters. The minister.
1t is said, stated that France would hold
China responsible for the outrages and
that it was necessary for his govern
ment to know whether China was unable
to protect foreigners residing in its ter
ritOry.
The Chinese profess their ability to
punish all who were engaged in the
massacre, and are summoning the gar
rlsOns from interior towns where there
are no signs of disturbance to strengthen
the force sent to oppose the rebels. De-
sultory SkirmiShes are reported be-

the imperial troops. Orders have been
given by the government for the inn

BLETHEN's ELoQUENCE. q
The Colonel Bursts Out in Praise
for Russia.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-CoI. Alden J..
Blethen, of Minneapolis. tonight was
shown the Minneapolis dispatch stating
that the mlIers of the Northwest had
contributed some 100000 worth of flour
and wheat to the starving people
of Russia. He says: "lt is fitting that
the United States should take the lead
in the free offerings of grain for starY-
ing Russia. This country owes as much
to Russia for her early independence as
to any other nation, and more to Russia
for her splendid conduct during the
terrible days of the rebellion. 1t was
the Russian bear that kept the British
lion in his lair at time when any
other attitude toward the Union would
have been disruption and disintegra-
ton. 1t is also fitting that this mOnu-
ment of brotherly love should emanate
from the great Northwest. the granary
of the nation; and it is quite as fitting
that the inception of sucn grand munifi-
cence should occur in the metropolis of
the Northwest. the flour center of the
world. Such are the characteristics of
the citizens of Minneapolis. None are
more just, enterprlsIng or generous"

married charming lass and lived hap
PLY with her until two children were
born. Then he resolved to seek his
fortune In America. Going to Akron,
o., he began business in modest way.
but his establishment grew rapidly,
and he was soon considered a
solid citizen. While in Akron he cor
responded with his family, but ap-
peared to be weary of them. and, sell
ing his property, moved to Peoria, H.,
where he sunk his identity by calling
himself Cramer. He ceased writing to
his English wife, and married again.
Cramer and his new wife left Peoria
and came to Sacramento two years ago.
He brought $4,000 in greenbacks on
his person. Then his wife Sc

MONGAL INSURGENTS.
The British Minister Calls Them
Brigands.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Sir John WaIsham,
British minister to China, in a telegram
to the foreign Office, confirms the report
OF all outbreak of brigands. assisted by
a secret association west of Jehot and
beyond the great wall. The minister
says: Possibly the insurgents have
also been joined by Chinese Moham-
medans from Mongolia. 1t is reported
that two or three important towns have
been captured and that hundreds of ma
tlves have been massacred. There is no
reason to believe that any Europeans
have been killed. The 5000 picked men
which the government has dispatched
to the scene ought to be able to over
throw the uprising. No credit should be
given to the sensational stories aflOat.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 3.-Mr. Hume,
the husband of Charlotte Behrens, of
the Robert Mantell Theatrical company,
who was reported to have left New Y ork
for this city for the avOwed intention of
taking Mr.. Mantell's life, = has not
arrived. At least he has not
made his presence known here.
Mr.. IIume was earnestly hunted in
PlttSburg today, but he could not be
found. His threatened advent was ap-
parently without effect on Mr.. MantelI,
Tor he remained closely in his room at
tile Hotel SchlOSSer, and denied himself
to all visitors. Mr.. Hume was not one
of them, however, and from Mr.. Man.
tells agent it was learned that the
actor is, as in the "COrSican Brothers,"
always ready. According to the
time to be prepared. all last week,
and III the early part of the week, Mr..
Hume has been sending the most melO-
dramatic kilograms about how he intend
ed to move heaven and earth, and would
be in PittSburg today to do it. ConSe-
quently the report that he has actually
started for PittSburg receives little ere
dence. An endeavOr was made to see
Mrs. Hume or Miss Behrens, who
is at he Fifth Avenue hotel.
She, however, sent word that
she was sick. Miss Behrens
has been with Mr.. Mantell for three
years. and has stopped at the Fifth Av-
enue every time she has been there. A
clerk said today that never in the past
five years had Mr. Mantell ever been
inside the hotel while Miss Behrens
was there. He thought that Mr.. Hume
was wronging his wife. Mrs. Hume is
leading lady in Mr.. MantelIs company,
and the cause of Mr.. Hume's anger is
said to be newspaper publications con-

STEWART TALKS SILVER.
The Nevada Senator on His Long
Suit.


NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Baptist So
cial union, of Manhattan island, this
evening held its annual meeting. A
banquet followed, at which speeches
were made OH the "SilYer Question"
by Senator w. Nj. Stewart, of Nevada;
Prof. j. Lawrence Laughlin, of Cornell
university, and Francis G. Newlands, of
San francisco, and Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, said that this was the age of
trusts, combines and corners. One
of the most gigantic combines
was that which was formed
in 1873, which had for its
object the limitation of the
production of the money crop from the
mines and even to destroy the efficiency
of half of the present supply existing in
the form of silver in order to increase
the value and purchasing power of the
remaining money. aee
Theycould nOtdestrOy the natural crop
of money, but could limit it by legisia-
ton, and the conspiracy organized was
to make bonds payable in gold and then
to increase the value of every unit of
gold by destroying the use of
every unit of silver. The effect of
this destructive legislation was
financial contraction in this country
WHICH was almost unparalleled In It's
history, and vast fortunes were accu-
mulated by the few at the expense of
the many. The adherents of gold had
since been driven from their intrench-
ments. Silver had been restored
as legal tender and provision
had been made for the coinage of
between S2,000,000 and S4,O00.0O0 per
month. The predictions made that gold
would be withdrawn from the country,
and that it would become a silver coun
try had not been verified. The oppon-
ents of silver claimed that the countries
of Europe would flood us with silver,
forgetting or ignoring the fact
that such a transfer would in
volve three cents on every dollar
in circulation. Even if this were at
tempted it could only be prevented by
legislation. The United States needs
more money than any other country in
the world and can easily get it by bor-
rowing or by coming it. 1t owes today
more than the entire volume of money
that exists in the country. Prof. j. Law
renee Laughlin, of Cornell university,
and Horace White, of the Evening Post,
spoke OF the gold issue.

GosCHEN's SCHEME.
He Explains 1t Further to Make
Sure.

Sure.
LONDON, Dec. 3.-Mr. Goschen. fear
ing that his speech of yesterday, with
the arguments for and against. NAV
have confused the broad outlines of his
financial scheme, presents them plainly
In letter to the governor of the Bank
OF England, with tables showing how
the plan would work out. He SAYS:
The Bank of England is now permitted
10 issue &16, 100000 against securities,
and also issue an average of 921. $50, 600
against gold. In this respect nothing
will be changed beyond authorizing the
issue of el notes, as we'll as higher de-
nomination notes. Beyond this amount
OF 93S, 100000 the four-ifths gold ar
rangement comes into force.
Thus. supposing total of e69, 900, 900
III notes issued, the Bank OF England
would hold 941. $50, 600 in gold, the bal
ance Ell, ,450, coo being against securities.
Mr.. Goschen desires to add to his original
statement that should the total issue
amount at any time to eSS. .OOO. 900 he
would propose that any issue above that
amount would be fully covered by gold,
and thus avoid removing an indefinite
amount of gold from circulation. Per-
mission to issue additional notes against
securities by payment of interest would
only be given when the gold reserve
reached $50, 900, 900. The rate of inter-
est would be fixed neither high enough
to make the permission imperative or
low enough to encourage speculation.
The News, commenting on Mr.
GOSchen's financial scheme, SAYS: ''We
doubt whether Mr.. Goschen'S plan is
altOgether worthy of wealthy country
like England. The plan is justly open
TO the accusation of cheese pairing. CITY
men do not agree that the scheme is
simplicity ITSELF"
The Times says: ''Mr. Goschen dis
plays remarkable ingenuity and as
much clearness as could be expected in
his treatment of subject so Icompli-
Gated and controversial. We are glad
he has dropped the idea of issuing small
notes against silver. After the recent
vlclSsltudes and in view of the uncer-
talnties of the silver market, the time is
not opportune to disturb settled point
in our monetary policy"
Mr.. GOSchen'S scheme was received
Oh the London stock exchange favorable
on the whole, but doubts were expressed
on all sides about the popularity of the
81 notes.
The Standard this morning saws:
"There is nothing very revolutionary in
the proposal. If we must have a fidu-
cIary currency we could not have one
more modest or more guarded. Nothing
could well be more cautious than the
provision suggested for checking an eX-
ceSslve note issue. The plan, however,
does not touch serious weakness in
our happy-go-lucky style of business,
which occasionally ends in a crisis aud
desperate struggle for gOld.''

OFFICIAL MALFEASANCE.
Oneida, n. ", County Officers in
Deep Trouble.

UTICA, n. Y. Dee. S.-For some time
past an investigation into the affairs
and charges of the county officials
of this county has been going on,
and some scandalous abuses were un-
earthed. Officers were found to have
charged for services ana material for
which they had no right to charge un-
der the statutes governing their offices.
This morning several officers were
served with papers from the attorney
generals Office accusing them of NAL
feasance IN office. The service of the
papers created great excitement here.
The summons from the attorney gem
eral which is waiting for Senator Cogge-
shall for malfeaSance In common with
other officers, charges him with Illegally
taking several thousand dollars while
county clerk in 1881. Coggeshall is now

KENRICK NOT IN FAVOR.
A Cardinals Hat May Never Rest
on His Head.

ROME, Dec. 3.-Catholic Americans
here are discussing the prospects of
Archbishop Kenriek, of st. Louis, Tor
promotion to the cardlnate. The arch
bishop is not popular, it Is said, in the
inner Vatican circle, owing to his oppo-
sition to the adoption of the dogma of
papal infallibility at the time thatit was
before the Vatican council. Although
Kenrick gave unqualified submission as
soon as it was declared dogma, his
opposition is remembered, as was that
of other prelates who took similar
stand. English influences, as well as
some Irish, are opposed to the promo
ton of Archbishop Walsh, and it seems
probable that Primate LogUe, of Ar
magh, will get the prize.
