UU0btie6s the C4af had Instructed his MIN

having not only the German government,
but other interested European governments.
1earn the nature Of the compact between
Russia and France. According to semi
Eo1ncial statement based on De Gicrs' dec
lafations, his recent interview with Presi-
sent Carnot, De Freycinet, Premier and
etnfster Of War, and Ribot. Minister Of
Foreign Affairs; fssnlted In adcAnite agree.
sMsnt for An exclusively defensive alliance;
The entente agreed upon, according to tho
statement quoted differs In one Of Its most
essential points from the triple alliance,
inasmuch that while that makes the
European status quo the basis of the MAIN
tenance Of peace, the Russo French en-
tente aims at what DE 0iers has called "re-
spect for treaties" meaning especially
the restoration OF Russia's grip on Bulgaria
and the English evacuation OF Egypt. The
differences on these features OF the situa-
tion are not In the meantime to be regarded
as constituting . danger OF war, IA both the
Russian and French governments desire to
assure strict application Of tho existing
treaties by pacific means. De Giers further
communicated the fact that no treaty was
yet signed. and intimated that tho French
Minister'S desire 10 conclude a formal con-
tract AZ alone properly defining future re-
sponsibiltties and rendering 1t possible to
pursue q distinct policy before Europe.
while at the same time avoiding an APP
proach OF cherishing warlikc designs. The
sum Of these Official assurances from tho
Berlin embassy IL that the Paris confer
ences resulted in q scheme to maintain .
diplomatic warfare against the Dreibund
and England, awaiting . more propitious
period for engaging In actual war.

SHIELDING THE PRINCE.
Parliamentary Questioning May
Develop a Row.

LONDON, June 13.-The erasure of the
name of Sir William Gordon-Cumming
from the army list is generally COM
mented on as showing the entire SUBJ
serviency of the cabinet to royalty. The
report that the queen personally Or
dered the erasure is denied on good au-
thority. 1t is said to have been the act
of Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary of
war, after consultation with the Duke
of Cambridge, commandor-in-chlef,
hope, who is a brother of Earl
Stanhope, has done all that he
dould for months past to shield the
Prince of Wales in connection with the
baccarat affair. and he was resolved to
have no inconvenient Investigation of
the charges against Sir William. The
questioning in parliament on Monday
will, however. be none the less pointed
because Gordon Cumming has been dis
posed of, and the home secretary, as
well as the secretary of war, will have
delicate problems to settle. The move
ment for dispensing with royal figure
head for the army has received new
impulse from the recent exposures. 1t
is singular fact that great English
generals have never been the nominal
ing held by some representative
of royalty who has never seen
a battle. The withdrawal of the
Duke of Cambridge from the
Office of ommander-in-chiet has long
been desired, even by the cabinet. and
will now be pressed. The Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Cambridge came
to town this morning on, 1t is said. i'm
portant business. The Prince of Wales
leaves London this afternoon in order
to be present at the royal picnic to-day
at Virginia Water. 1t is generally un-
dersto0d that the Princes flying visit is
connected with the baccarat scandal.
The Prince of Wales, who, at first, was
disposed to treat the baccarat matter
lightly, has now awakened to the seri-
BUSINESS of his position. The London
correspondent of the Leeds Mercury
says that he has good reason to
state that Hon. Edward StanhOpe, secre-
tary 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 Cum
ming at Tranby Croft in September
fast. 1t is cnrrently reported that Lord
Coleridge, the lord chief justice of Eng
land, who presided at the recent trial of
the suit of Sir William Gordon Cum
ming against Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Will
son and others, will 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
partiality for the defendants which the
lord chief justice showed in his sum-
ming up and charge to the jury.
