The Torrent of Denunciations Continues


The Torrent of Denunciations Continues
to Pour In Upon Him.
LONDON, June 12.-The Christian
world, religious weekly raper, repre-
senting all denominations of Protestants,
sa1s of, the Prince of Wales in connec-
tioh with the baccarat scandal. ~The
throne rests upon the foundation of
pubic opinion only. A few more scan
da& like that of Tranby Croft would de-
strny this foundation, and Edward Ill
wOhld never be crowned
The British Weekly says: THE reve-
lafpns are enough to sober up the
strongest supporters of the monarchy. /"
The correspondent of The Times at
Vienna says that the baccarat scandal
has caused a sensation in army circles
on We continent, especially in countries
where the Prince of Wales holds honor
ary military rank. The correspondent
direefs attention to the fact that an
Austrian general, who was found to
have condoned in q similar manner to
the plan adopted by the Prince of Wales,
actsof cheating upon the part of one of
his subordinate officers, was compelled
to resign from the army to avoid being
tried by eourtmartial.
Atfhe annual conference of the Con-
gregational church of Glamorganshire
Wales, resolutions have been adopted
denopn cling the Prince of Wales for his
connection with the baccarat scandal.

A Day OF Mourning Observed Through
out Canada i'm Memory of the
Departed Premier.
All the Official and Diplomatic Digni.
taries Follow the Remains to
the Grave.
Now Considered Certain That Senator
Abbot Will Be the New
Premier.

KINGSTON, Ont, June 12.-Beneath q
new-made mound in Cataraqui ceme-
terry in beautiful little valley with its
velvet fields and peaceful farm houses,
and wave-washed by the waters of the
blue Ontario, were placed all that Is
earthly of the late Sir John Macdonald
With almost royal honors and amid the
mourning Of nation, the body of the
dead premier was borne to its last rest
ing place. On all the public buildings
and on many business horses the ma
tional colors foated at half-mast. Down
Princess street, the principal buildings
were draped in festoons Of black bunt-
ing, and IN many of the windows were
portraits of the late premier draped in
black. The city building, in which the
remains lay in state, was magnificently
draped. An immense throng Of people
passed into the hall, viewed the remains
and then emerged from the rear. An
enormous crowd of people poured into
the city from the surrounding country.
An early train from Ottawa brought the
members of tine senate and house of
commons, the governor general and
staff and others who were to take part
in the funeral. The cortege moved at
noon. The various civic and military
bodies quickly fell into line, and to the
booming of cannon from Fort Henry
and the
solemn Tolling of the City Bells
the march to the grave began. The coll
umn consisted OF civic societies. police,
cavalry and artillery, hearse with body
guard OF cadets, mourners, governor
general and staff, army and navy, pro-
vincial governors, bishops, cabinet, Judi
ciary, Legislature, provincial assemblies,
consuls, deputy ministers, deputations
from other cities, and citizens generally.
The cortege passed along Ontario street
to Princess street, and up that thorough
fare TO Cataraqui cemetery, distance
OF over three miles. Arriving at the
cemetery the remains were taken in
charge by the Masonic fraternity and
Interred with Masonic Honors.
The plot in which the remains were
placed is situated on q hillside. The
dead premier was laid beneath the plain
Scotch granite shaft ON which the single
word Macdonald stands out in relief.
The plot contains five other graves:
those of Sir Johns parents and sister,
and his wife and child. A more beauti-
full spot for the repose Of the remains
OF the illustrious dead could hardly
have been chosen. In front is Lake
Ontario, to the left the spires of Kings
ton, Sir Johns native place.
The day was also observed as q day of
mourning throughout the Dominion,
and during the progress of the funeral,
bells were tolled in every city and town
of the country.
A movement is taking definite shape
for national monument to the dead
statesman to be erected by popular SUBJ
scription.

ST. PAUL, June 10. Professor Lugger
has returned from Otter Tailcounty,
this state, where he went to investigate
the grasshopper scare. He found that
the hoppers were of the species so much
feared, but that they had only infested
a tract OF about fifteen acres. This land
was thoroughly gone over with paris
green and london purple, and it was not
long before the farmers had the satisfac-
tion of seeing the pests turn over, utter
a wild shrek and perish. OF course
the crops on the infested tract were de-
stroyed, but the loss is very small in
comparison to what it would have been
had not prompt action been taken.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Sir William

letter from an acquaintance in London,
to relate at length his own version of
the Tranby Croft baccarat scandal in

bring ont at an early date. I'm his book

has termed the "rascality" of Lycett
Green; the manner in which the Prince
OF Wales keeps secrets; his candid opin-
ion of the hostess of Tranby Croft; the
true and only reason why he was called
upon to sign that document" how the
Prince of Wales plays the role of
banker; why he carries his own Dacca-
rat apparatus about with him.

Experts Find Nothing Wrong In Duluth
Elevator Books.
DULUTH, June 12.-The experts at
work on the Duluth elevator books
claim that they win finish their labors
during the day, and will then prepare .
voluminous report extending from 1886
down to the present time. There will
be nothing to report Of fraudulent
nature.
There were about dozen cars, said
one OF the experts, which were pulled
out by the railroad companies before
they could be inspected by the state in
spectors. There are many cars vet re-
manning to be traced, because in the
last five years there have been many
cars transferred from one elevator to
another; also many cars have been sold
on sample and run into the mill eleva-
tors of which the state inspection and
weighing departments would not have
the regular orthodox record. These
cars will all have to be traced up and
accounted for. It will probably be the
end of the week before the full report
of the experts can be properly made ont
and signed.

BRUSSELS Walters Propose tn Strike
Against the Present system.
LONDON, June 12.--The walters of
Brussels propose to strike against the
payment of fees by guests. Their objec-
tion is the largest share Of the fee, or
pour-boire, goes to the proprietor, and
that the walters share does not make up
Tor the non-payment of wages. The
WATERS therefore ask that the pour
poire be abolished, and regular wages
paid. The proprietors are reluctant to
make the concession, which would hem
etit the customers by leaving them the
money now paid in fees. The nublic
sympathizes with the walters.

WHEAT INVESTIGATION.
Scott. Canning and Clausen Again on the
Stand to Testify.

Stand to Testify.
ST. PAUL. June 12.-Mr. Scott was re-
called when the committee reassembled.
After reviewing his testimony he was
asked If he knew anything in the condi-
tion OF the elevators which would de-
ceive the owners as TO dirt. mo,
can't say do, he replied. At one time
the witness said Mr.. Ruply said the
dockage placed on some wheat by Mr..
Higgins, his assistant, was not suffi-
cient, but second test sustained their
Judgment. Gen. Barrett asked the wit
ness If he ever knew of a change in the
price of wheat to be ordered. He said
that on June 2, 1889 +. I'll. Irons or
dered an advance of cents per bushel
on some wheat, and the next day re-
duction of cents per bushel on certain
grades. Each member of the combine
was assessed to pay Irons Sc, 900 salary.
There was committee who fixed the
prices ordinarily, but in their absence
Irons had authority to fix the prices
arbitrarily. The only member Of this
committee he knew was Mr.. Cham
bers.
Charles Canning followed Mr.. Scott
to the stand for continuance of his
examination.
Did You never attempt to ascertain
whether you had an overage or a
shortage in your elevator asked Mr..
Childs.
my elevator man was sick and did
not last year.
The witness said that it would not be
surprising If there was an overage of
1i,U00 bushels in handling Sc. .000, 900
bushels. He thought dockage of an
ounce to q bushel of wheat was too
much. Neither did he think one
fourth an ounce would be right, but he
thought it could be done in less than an
ounce. He would not say that he had
ever docked less than one ounce in buy
ing;
What do you think of the effect of
posting 100000 bushels of damaged
wheat would be?n was asked
think it would rather bear the
wheat than bull it. {" He did not think
1T would have affected the wheat in
Minneapolis If the Duluth wheat had
been posted, but 1t would have
Paralyzed the Business
of the elevator in which the wheat was
stored for time.
Messrs. Clausen and Canning fur
nished entertainment most of the after
noon, beginning with discussion of the
inspection rules and concluding with an
attempt on the part of Mr.. Clausen to
discover the motive that led Mr.. Cam
ming to make complaint against the in
spection department. During the exam
nation Mr.. Claussn made a statement
about the crop of 1890. The grain had
green tinge, . condition never before
noticed, and supposed to have been
caused by hot winds. Farmers COM
planned against the grade, but when the
wheat went East 1t was graded still
lower. Mr.. Clausen had Professor
Harper make scientific examination of
the grain, and his letter proved that the
grades made by Mr.. Clausen were too
liberal He could have answered the
complaints made by farmers by publish
ing the letter, but as it would be q de-
fense for the Eastern buyers, who were
objecting 10 the grade and thereby in
Jure the farmers still further, he on the
advice of Governor Merriam. did not
make the letter public.
