Londoners-those who were able to obtain
the necessary season tickets and the
familiar criticism Of English newspapers to
the effect that there is considerable lack of
dignity in the United States courts have
been so weakened that they should never
again be revived in the face of the fashion,
able display, luncheon exhibitions and
other scenes witnessed during the progress
OF the baccarat case. Lady
Coleridga, wife Of the lord
Chief justice, has been seen each day seated
on the bench at the right hand of her hus-
band. entertaining her numerous circle of
friends, laughing and talking when she has
not been writing notes for her husband and
sending them around the court with the
same freedom as if she had been at a garden
party. Sir Charles Russell was obliged
more than once to suspend his examination
OF witnesses on account of the lack of de-
corum displayed in the court.
METHoDIsTs EXPRESS REGRET.
CARDIFF, June 5.-The Methodists of
South Wales concluded their quarterly
meeting to-day. Before adjourning they
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That this meeting learns with re-
gret from the proceedings in the high court OF
justice that the Prince Of Wales took part in a
game OF baccarat at Tranby Croft on 6ept. 6,
1870, and thus gave countenance of gambling in
AAOoO
force of his example thus en-
couraging vice among the people.
We respectfully submit to his royal highness
that by his conduct he offendS the religious
sense of the people and drags the royal house
from the high position in which it stood and
tends to lessen the loving and devoted affection
to the throne which has been ever cherished
by US.
HAS STIRRED THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
The baccarat revelations have stirred to
its deepest depths the whole religious world.
The resolution of the Welsh Methodist con-
ference to-day faithfully reflects the cur
rent mood Of the pious folks throughout
the country. The news that the prince is a
habituel gambler, taking supplies of cards
and counters wherever he goes, has blasted
every chance Of the nations granting him
relief for his debts. The leading Baptist
organ compares the princes passion for the
race course and gambling with the noble
example of his father, who. IL living, would
share the intense grief Of thousands Of En-
glishmen.
ROUGH ON THE PRINCE.
PITTsBURG, Pa, June 5.-In court this
afternoon on application Of Johnnie Staley,
well known in every sporting center, for
transfer of a liquor and hotel license, the
court objecting because he was given some
what to gambling, Staley's attorney
remarked: II desire to call your honor's
attention to the fact that the Prince of
Wales ganbles little"
"Well. l don't consider him Of good char
acter. He could not get q license in this
court, replied the judge.

LONDON, June 5.-The bill providing for
the issue'ot an order in council prohibiting
the taking of seals in Bering sea by British
subjects, though q government measure,
met with the opposition of Alexander Hill,
who sits for Kiugswinford division of Stat
fordshire and who has represented con-
servative constituencies In the House of
Commons for many years. His opposition
was particularly directed against
the clause in the bill agreeing that the
United States shall catch 1900 seals for the
benefit of the islanders during the close
season. He made violent speech against
this section of the measure, and moved as
an amendment that the words, "If Canada
consents" be added thereto. During the
course of his speech Mr.. Hill stated that he
had received communication from Canada
in relation to this question.
THE AMENDMENT DEFEATED.
William Henry Smith, the government
leader in the House, argued against the
amendment. basing his opposition to it on
the fact that tho government had already
obtained the assent of Canada to the bill.
In view of this statement by Mr.. Smith
Mr.. Hill withdrew his amendment, and the
bill subsequently passed.
Thomas Serdon, member for West Bel
fast, called the attention Of the House to the
attitude Of the Irish members in connection
with the bill, aud expressed the hope that
the government would appreciate their
forbearance in offering no opposition to it,
thus allowing the government to pass 1t on
its third reading without delay.
The Bering Sea bill passed its first reading
in the House Of Lords to-day.

FLoRIDA's LEGISLATURE.
The Session Brought to an End at
Midnight.

TALLAHASSEE. FLA. June 5.-Some
days ago the House passed, by vote Of S5
to II, the bill TO abolish the railroad COM
mission. To-day the Senate passed the
same bill by vote of 20 to 10. Some per-
sons hope the governor may veto the bill
but, considering the vote in each House.
there seems TO be very slight ground for any
for such hope when 1t is remembered that
Senator Calls fight for reelection to the
Senate was almost exclusively a war on
corporations in general, and railroads in
particular. There appears 10 be tinge of
Inconsistency in this action, especially
since a majority of the Legislature
favors Senator Calls election, and
the leader of his adherents
in the House introduced and
advocated the passage of the bill. The
Senate to-day also passed the bill Rbolishing
to 4, IL not voting.
There are no developments in the sena-
torial complication.
The Senate has passed the following bills:
The House bill fixing the pay Of members
and attaches, the former at So, and the lat
ter at So to So a day.
The House bill providing for the redemp-
tion of real estate sold for debt.
The House bill granting a new charter for

The committee appointed to investigate
the office OF the commissioner Of agriculture
and bureaus under his charge reported that
the affairs OF the immigration bureau, In
some particulars, had been extravagantly
conducted.
Senator Wolfe introduced and had passed
at the afternoon session bill Appropriat-
ing S2S, 900 for an exhibit at the worlds
fair, upon condition that e75. 900 be con-
tributed from other sources. The action
was certified TO the House.
The bill making the anniversary Of the
birth Of Jefferson DAVIS a legal holiday has

The Senate refused TO take up the CON-
stitutional amendment To remove the capi-
tai to Ocala.
After conference the revenue and APP
preparation bills were passed.
The worlds fair bill has not been called
up in the House.
The remaining hour and half of the ses-
sion will be- devoted to perfectlng legisla-
tion pending between the two Houses.

Ma chinists at Richmond Make q Re-

RICHMOND, VA, June 5.-About seventy
five machinists employed In the shops of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad sent writ
ten request to Master Machinist Lloyd, re-
questing the company to. discontinue the
use of castings made at the Richmond loco
motive and machine works. where a strike
was begun some three months ago. Mr.
Lloyd declined to accede to the demand,
saying that the railroad company
had made contract with the
locomotive works prior to the strike which
it proposed to carry out, but il the en-
ployes felt aggrieved their designations
would be in order. The men replied that
they were ignorant Of the contract and sat
isfied to end the matter. The locomotive
works, which is constructing the armament
for the battle ship Texas, has never stopped
operations because of the strike. The COM
pany now has about 800 hands employed

The Story of the Valparaiso Fight
Looked Upon as Fishy.
WASHINGTON, June 5. - The account
which came from San Francisco yesterday
of a naval engagement in Valparaiso har-
Dor. stating that the insurgent cruiser
Magallanes sailed under the guns Of the
government forts and almost annihi-
lated the government torpedo boats,
is received with incredulity at
the navy department. Such facts as are
officially known seem to discredit the story.
The engagement is reported to have taken
place in the presence of foreign men-of-
war. Admiral McCann was there on that
date on board the Baltimore,
yet in his report to the depart
ment on the next day he failed
to mention any such event. In addition to
this, the department officers say that they
have no doubt that If an engagement with
such pronounced results had taken place
the news would have been promptly tele-
graphed to the United States instead of
taking the slower course Of the mail
steamers

NEW YORK, June b.-The directors OF
the Union theological Seminary have met
and have declared their position on the ques-
tion of the right of the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church TO veto the transfer
of Prof. Charles A. Briggs from the chair of
Hebrew to the chair Of Biblical theology.
The resolution passed at their meeting held
this afternoon is as follows;
RESOLVED, That the board OF directors, after
having taken legal advice and after due con-
sideration, see no reason 20 change their views
on the subject of the transfer OF Or. Briggs, and
feel bound, In the discharge of their duty under
the charter and constitution of the seminary, to
adhere TO the same
THE ASsEMBLY's VETO.
The intent of the veto passed by the gen.
eral assembly at its recent session In De.
troit was that DIR. Briggs should cease TO be
professor In the Union seminary. The
effect of the resolution given above is that
it is the Judgment Of the directors that the
veto was a usurpation Of power never
given or intended TO be given to
the general assembly, and that since
the veto was illegal the appointment
stands and DIR. Briggs viii continue as pro-
fessor during the coming year as during the
past seventeen years. The meeting Of the
board of directors was very full, only three
members being absent out of the full board
of twenty.six The vote by which the reso-
luton was adopted was practically unani-
nous. one vote only being cast in opposi-
tion.
