APOLOGY FOR WALES.

The Secretary of War to Explain His
Highness' Acts at Tranby Croft.
LONDON, June Is. The Prince Of
Wales and the Duke of Cambridge came
to town this morning on, it is said, i'm
portant business. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that the Princes flying visit is
in connection with the baccarat scandal.
The Prince, who at first was disposed to
treat the baccarat matter lightly, has
now awakened to the seriousness of his
position. The london correspondent
of the Leeds Mercury says that he has
good reason to state that Edward San
hope, secretary 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 Cumming at Tranby Croft in
September last.
Sir William Gordon Cumming and his
bride received what is generally known
as "royal welcome upon their arriv-
al at Forres, Scotland, near which burgh,
Altyre, the Baronet's estate is situated.
The bride and bridegroom were well
coined by the provost of Forces at the
head of the municipal authorities Of the
neighborhood. The town was decorat-
ed with flags, flowers and bunting, and
on their way to Altyre Sir William Cor
don Cumming and Lady Gordon Cum
ming passed beneath several hand
some MOral arches.

SMUGGLERS IN THE NAVY.

Sensational Discoveries by Custom Off
Gals at 'Frisco-New Use for Our War
Ships
San Francisco, Cal, June 10.-Exten-
sive smuggling operations have been
unearthed here that will probably re-
suit in juicy scandal. The offenders
are officers of the United States navy,
and government war-ships were the
medium of importation. The dscov-
cries cause profound sensation in all
circles, and will doubtless result in
searching inquiry by the officials of the
Navy Department. Several officers of
high standing are involved.
The smuggling operations were
brought to light last evening, when the
local treasury agent visited Mare Island
navy yard and after careful investiga-
ton satisfied himself that large GUAM
tity of dutiable merchandise has been
brought into this country by several
American war vessels which recently
returned from Chinese stations and that
no revenue charges were paid on it.
The United States steamer Omaha ar
rived few weeks ago and went to Mare
Island without being inspected by GUS
toms officers. When the treasury agent
visited the yard last week it is claimed
that he found large quantity of silk
gowns and costly bric-a-brac in the
officers quarters Of the Omaha, amount
ing to several thousand dollars in value.
Many of these articles were inclosed in
packages ready for shipment to various
eastern points. It is also said that the
entire consignment has been seized by
the custom authorities and submitted TO
the appraiser at this port. One silk
gown, it is claimed, has been appraised
at nearly 81, 200.
Some of the principal officers of the
Omaha and one or two officers of the
Swatara, which returned from China
several months ago, are concerned in
the smuggling, and action is being taken
in the matter by the Navy and Treasury
departments in Washington.

WOMEN GAIN A VICTORY.
The Grand Temple of Honor Votes to A
NIT Ladies as Members.

The women of Wisconsin gained vic
tory for their sex at the meeting Of the
Grand Temple of Honor at GAINESVILLE
on the 18th. The amendment Of the
bylaws of the order admitting
ladies as members was adopted,
there being only three temples in
the state recording their votes against
the proposition. Friends of the meas
ure claim this action will be the means
of adding much vigor and many ardent
workers to the list of members in the
state. The next meeting will be held at
Ahnapee, the date to be fixed by the
grand officers. Officers were elected for
the ensuing year as follows: Grand
worthy templar, D. B. Bailey, of Apple
ton; grand worthy vice templar, Henry
Sanford, Of Manitowoc; grand worthy
recorder, A. j. Smith, of Amherst:
grand worthy treasurer, A. H..
Guernsey, of Amherst; grand worthy

GYMN A SUM BURNED,
Fire at the State University-Loss 81, 900
or 5000,

or 5000.
Fire broke out in the University gym
nasium building, Madison, at 11:3O
on the evening of the 18th, and it was
burned to the ground The building
was situated in patch of woods be-
tween Main Hall and Washburn OBJ
servatory. The fire was undoubtedly
the work of incendiaries, as there was
no fire within forty rods of the place.
President Cha1nberlin says that the fire
was almost beyond a question the work
of tramps. The city has been pes
tered by people of this stamp this year,
and with the approach of warm weather
they frequent the grounds near the
gymnasium very much. The theory
that the fire is the work of students is
not held by anybody connected with
the university, as most of the students
have left the city, and further absolute
ly no motive could exist for such an
act. The attitude of the students
toward the old building, around
which clustered more associations than
any other building belonging to
the university has always been most
favorable, and further, since the last
Legislature made liberal appropria-
ton for a new gymnasium, there would
be no occasion for destroying the old
one. The loss is estimated at between
81 900 and $1,000, the greater part Of
which is covered by insurance The
building had not been used as an arm
DRY for over a year, and was used ex-
clusively for gymnastics. Several can
non were burned, otherwise there was
nothing in the building of great value.

for the head Of the ticket was referred
to committee who reported q

STOLE HALF A MILLION.
a South American Representative En-
beZzles Vast Sum-How the Theft
Was Committed-What the Of
fcials of the Com
pany Say.

New York, June 12.-Julio Merz-
bacher, the general agent of the New
York Life Insurance Company for the
West Indies and Spanish America, is
-ciefaulter for thousands The news of
the defaication has just been made pub
lie The robbery was discovered by
Merzbacher's partner, Joseph San
chez, last December, when Sanchez
returned from six-month's
trip through South America. Merz-
bacher, when accused by his partner,
made clean breast of the affair Then
notice was sent out to all the agencies
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany in Spanish America that Merz-
bacher had retired owing to ill-health.
The amount of his stealings is not
known. It is estimated at from $500, 900
TO 100000 The officers of the COM
pany admit that it is over S15O,OO0.
Sanchez and Merzbacher were en-
Dioyed by Col. A. G.. Dickinson, who
up to five years ago was the general
agent of the New York Life Insurance
Company for Mexico and Spanish
America. Col Dickinson acquired q
large fortune in his agency. and retired
from the company. Then his business
was turned over to Messrs. Sanchez and
AIerzbacher.
The general agents of big company
like the New York Life have almost
complete control of the business that
passes through their hands. The New
York Life does business in the
West Indies and Spanish America
which aggregates between $40, 900, 900 and
$50, 600, 600 annually. The premiums on
these enormous sums were all payable
to Sanchez and Merzbacher Merz-
bacher was frequently in New York,
while Sanchez took long trips through
Mexico and South America to solicit law
business and establish new agencies.
It is said that whenever he came to
New York, Merzb acher used to fire.
Quent the brokers' offices in Wall
Street He, it is stated, was a very
heavy Spectator. He was not al
ways successful, however, and last
November, during the panic, became
completely swamped. 1t is thought that
he then began to retain for his own
needs the various sums RENTED him by
his sub-agents throughout Mexico and
South America in order to retrieve his
fortunes
The officers of the company refuse to
give any information as to the exact
amount of loss the company has sus-
tained through Merzbacher's defalca-
aion. They admit that it is over
$50, 900, but say that the COM
pany will lose nothing, as Mr..
Sanchez can be held responsible
for his partners stealings, and besides,
they say, the renewal premiums on the
enormous amount of insurance that
-Merzbacher secured will go far toward
