y
social sensation has been caused by the
reports of verbal fracas between the
Queen and the prince of Wales at Ports
mouth yesterday. Before going to the
launch the prince of Wales heard through
the foreign office alarming accounts
of the position OF ex-Empress Frederick in
Paris He decided to 60 to bring her
away, believing lis personal popularity
would prevent the threatening demonstra-
tion, and he wired the queen his in
tention. On arriving at the dock
yard and joining the queens
circle grouped round the bows
of the Royal Arthur the queen was heard
accosting him with: What do you say?
Turn my daughter out of Paris? Nonsense,
it is improbable"
The prince, in an undertone, replied
that he was so impressed with the gravity
OF the situation reported by the m mister
that lac had wired his sister to leave i'm
mediately if she could not await him.
The queen, visibly enraged, repeated that
it was impossible to believe that any in
suit could be offered to her daughter in
Paris She then sat down and excitedly
played her fingers on al electric battery
to the alarm OF Prof Eyer and the dock
yard officials, who dreaded premature
launching of the ship.
In further conversation she blamed the
prince for the injudicioUs course he had
taken and threatened to counter uand
his kilograms by herself wiring. The
prince, in moderate tones, protested that
countermand would be unwise and
urged his mother TO send a telegram en-
forcing his advice. The controversy
ended in harmony. The queen, appeased,
talked over the matter with the prince
and the latter, before leaving Portsmouth,
sent a cipher telegram to ex-Empress
Frederick backing his own wishes with
the queens.
Tie case of a girl Of seventeen who es-
capped from the Cambridge spinning-house,
where she had been sentenced 10 a weeks
Imprisonment. has drawn attention to the
monstrous anachronism OF the Cambridge
and Oxford university authorities privi-
lege of trying and imprisoning women
suspected OF intrigueS with students. The
girl in question escaped from the spinning
house and raised a clamOT when she was
arrested again. The local liberals TOOK up
the grievance and proved that in u num-
Der of instances women of unstained
character had been arrested at
will by proctors, tried privately,
no jury, no sworn evidence and no de-
tense heing allowed, convicted and sent
to the spinning house. notable instance
is that Of woman who disappeared while
out marketing, having been hauled before
the prOctors and committed 10 the spin-
ning-house. Messrs. Labouchere and
Fitzgerald and other members of the
house of commons have determined TO ag-
itate the matter in parliament. The uni
versity authorities, not daring to face dis
closures, are willing to abandon the priv
lege, which dates from the charter of
James /.
The coroner, in summing up in the
Whitechapel murder inquest today, speaks
strongly in favor of Sadler's in
nocence, arguing that it was hardly
possible for S5dler to have COM
had spoken to the constables and the
time the woman was found murdered,
that in order to have done so he must
have walked in four minutes, drunk as he
was, a distance which even a sober man
would hardly be capable of walking.
He minimized the importance of the
most damaging evidence, the Identified
tion of Sadler with the man who sold the
knife and argued that the witness who had
bought the knife had mistaken the
identity of Sadler, who wore
cap different from what the wit
ness described. The murder, he said,
had been effected in a manner similar to
that OF the other crimes attributed to
"Jack, the Ripper" and that Sadler, at
the time, was physically incapable of COM
mi cha
will 90 long way toward freeing the
prisoner.
The arrest of Robertson alias Dundon-
nachie for assau on Scotch Judge has
recalled his outrageous libel on the
queen. During his career as a
political agitatOr in the lower
strata of London Robertson, who
had a personal feud with the duke of
Athol and fought an action in the courts,
lost his case, he believed, through influ-
ence from high quarters. Thereupon
he CLEANED around Balmoral what he
could of a scandalous rumor, invented
more, and then printed and privately
circulated a pamphlet attributing to tie
queen secret history akin to that re-
yeaed in THE Mysteries of the Court
of London Under George w." The
authorities refrained from arresting
the author in order to avoid
sullying the spotless character of the
queen with the filth, hut they determined
TO punish him somehow. They watched
and soon got chance to prose-
cute him for libeling a private
person. Nothing was said in
court with reference to the libel on the
queen, but the bench knew of it, and the
accused was convicted aud sentenced to
two years prisonLient. lie has since
become ha crazed, and is likely to end
his DAYS in an asvlum.
AS Justice Stephens persists in his re-
fusal to resign. Mr.. Cobb. NJ. p, is pre-
pairing statement for the lord ckancel-
lor, 10 show reason why the justice
should retire. The ground taken is that
he is untb e to do his duty. An instance
occurred at the Guiliord assizes yesterday.
On counsel telling witness to 90 slowly
and await the judges pen, the justice
threatened to commit the counsel TO Jail
for contempt Of court, aaying that it was
the grossest Insult that had ever been
