THE careful announcement by cable that
young Mr.. Wilson did secure his election to
the Marlborough Club through the kindly
offices of the Prince of Wales, is important
but it is not complete until it relieves the
doubt as to whether it is intended for vim
dication of the Prince or the parvenu.

COMMENTING sarcastically over a row
produced in Topeka, because a book in one
of the Sunday-school libraries held up the
Prince of Wales as "an inspiration to every
one who knows him." the New York Tribune
says: "This is the worst fling at the Prince
since Pittsburg police justice declared that
the heir of England couldn't get a saloon
license in his court" 1t is bitter warning
for people to be sure what they are talking
about when a learned, able judge ofou Com

lice Justice"

UNEQUAL DIVISION.

The Governor Thinks That an Attempt Was
Made to Gerrymander the State in Ap-
portioning 1t Into Representative Dis
tricts-Not Countenanced by the Consti-
tuition.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
HARRIsBURG June 23,-The legislative and
Congressional apportionment bills were We
toed this evening by Governor Pattison.
The Governor says the apportionment of
the State into Representative districts, ac-
cording to the Constitution, is not difficult
matter; nor is it one in the execution of
which any partisan ingenuity needs to be
exercised to secure for the political ajority
of the people of the State their full and en-
tire rights of representation.
He explains ihe manner in which the ratio
is found by dividing the whole population of
the State, according to the last census, by
200, which is 26,290. Continuing the Governor
states that: every intendment of the sys-
tenn is to protect and preserve the rights of
the smaller districts, and the manifest sin
gle representative districts. These explicit
directions have been followed, in the main,
in this apportionment, and where they are
departed from in any degree, had the Gen.
eral Assembly followed any consistent prin-
cipal of division and allotment, doubts
would certainly have been felt in the execu-
tive mind as to the propriety of disturbing
the conclusions reached But it is all too
plain that in the part1tioning of a number of
the larger counties of the State considera-
t1ons have been allowed to govern which
have no place in the constitutional idea of a
fair and proper apportionment. These
blemishes and incongruities in the bill rem
der it intolerable and have been the read
ier to veto it on that account, because,
within two years, another General Assem-
bly, will have an opportunity to apportion
the State into legislative districts, and
to provide a consistent and uniform system
of representation for this decade. The coun-
ties of Lackawanna, Luzerne and Schuyl-
kill will abundantly serve to illustrate what
conceive to be deliberate purpose to ap-
ply principal to one political division of
the State, which is ignored or reversed in

An officer OF a Portland Bark In
Trouble.

There was a hearing on q summary pro-
cess before Judge Carpenter in the lobby Of
the United States Circuit Court In Boston
Wednesday. IL the course Of which Judge
Carpenter and Mr.. Boardman Hall, counsel
for the defendant, disagreed. The defend
ant, Thomas Farrell, mate Of the bark ). X.
Lyman of Portland, is charged with beating
and wounding James Boyd, one of the crew.
| The assault was committed while the vessel
was on the river de la Platte, coming from
| Rosario, in South America, and 1t Is claimed
| that 1t was trivial. On the advice Of his
| counsel he pleaded nolo contendere, expect
| ing that a small fine would be imposed and
| the case thus ended. But Judge Carpenter
| fined him $50, an unusually high tine for
| such an offence. Mr.. Hall at once withdrew
| his plea Of nolo contendere, saying that he
| preferred to have the case go to the grand
| jury, which will report on the 26th inst.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Hall, Farrells
| counsel, made q new move and applied for
| summary process before Judge Nelson. The
/ district attorney refused to issue such pro-
i cess after being instructed to do so by Judge
Nelson and finally the Judge allowed Farrell
| to go on his personal recogn1zance. The
| proceedings created considerable excitement
/ In the court room, especially this remark of
| Mr. Hall: 81 think l may say, your honor,
| that there is feeling Of insecurity and un-
/ certainty among the members OF the cOmmu
nifty and the bar as to what we are to expect
/ in this court"

occupied rooms over the dining room. She
and Miss Lord went to bed at about 10

threaten Cummings a few days before the

that she could have him arrested for threat

On cross-examination, witness said she

Miss NickersOn declared with great en-

she told 1t on the stand. She told it to a
great many people and admitted that she
was finally cautioned by Mr.. Low against
talking so much about 1t. Mr.. Came tried to
make 1t appear that Miss Nickerson's zeal in
telling about hearing Mr.. Cummings arose
from her desire to clear him from any posi-

would not do so.
