CHICAGO, June 5.-The baccarat rev.
elations have stirred tor the deepest
depths the whole religious world. The
news that the prince was an habituaI
gambler. taking cards and counters
wherever he goes. has blasted every
chance of the nations granting him re-
lief, for his debts. The leading Baptist
organ compares the princes tastes for
the race course and gambling with the
noble example of his father, who. if liv-
lug would share the intense grief of
thousands of Englishmen. The South
Wales Methodist quarterly conference
in session at Cardiff, has adopted areso-
luton regreting that the Prince of Wales
took part in game of baccarat at Tran
bycroft, thus by his example encourag
ing vice and damaging the standing of
the royal house in the estimation and
affection of the people.

SECRETARY PROCTOR BUSY.
Getting Things in Shape So He Can Leave
the Cabinet

Getting Things in Shape So He Can Leave
the Cabinet
Secretary Proctor is very busy just now
making his preparations for departing from
tho cabinet. He sees great many people who
have final favors to ask and he utilities
his spare time in making notes on his
annual report, which will DO o rather
important document This work is progress
ing satisfactorily and it is expected that it will
contain a good deal Of useful and interesting
information.
This morning the Secretary, before he went
to the cabinet meeting. had long talk in his
most private Office with Hon. J. II. Clarkson,
ex-assistant postmaster general and this fact
gave rise to considerable gossip regarding the
coming changes in the administration.
The Secretary will probably not retire from
the War Department much before the lst Of
ator Edmunds that has caused
the necessity of now cabinet
officer does not take effect until November
1. and there ia no necessity for the existence
Of another Senator, from Vermont before Con-
gress meets.
Secretary Proctor has not as yet been ap-
pointed to be a Senator by Gov. Paige. He has
received a letter from that official indicating
that such an appointment would be made
upon the occurrence of the vacancy. and to
uiis Ee mas replied, saying tnat nc wouiu DC
gratified at such an appointment and that he
would accept. The formal appointment will not
be made until after November 1, and then Mr..
Proctor can cease in his present function and
assume his new role rs soon as he wishes.
When he docs so, however, he loses the neat
sum OF $500 n year, the difference between
the salaries of cabinet officer and Senator.
The general opinion around tho War Depart
ment is that the Secretary will remain there
until at least November Is, if not until the LIST
of December.

Mr.. Crane said he thought IL was illegal that

ROCK CREEK PARK.
Mr.. Coleman Continues His Argument Be-
fore the Appralsers

Mr.. Coleman Continues His Argument Be
fore the Appraisers.
This morning before the Rock Creek Park
commission Mr.. Coleman continued his argu-
ment. He had now reached, he said, feature
in the case much more pleasant than the one
already referred to-he had reference to the
question Of gold. No man was more surprised
than was his client when, after purchasing the
property. he discovered the existence of gold
on his land. He sent a specimen of the ore to
his brother-in-law, Harvard pro-
fessor, who assayed it and reported
that it exhibited q yield of So AZ
to the ton. But his client knew that it would
require more means to develop the prospect
than he had at his disposal, and for that reason
he had never proceeded further in the mat
client had sought to show the value Of the
prospect, he had first to obtain the consent of
the government. In England this was
different. There the government: in
such cases as this aided the owner by
exploring and examining the land desired at
course of the government of the United
States in this case. Here the government had
treated these claims with sarcasm and ridicule.
and although it had endeavored to belittle the
claims of the owner on one hand. yet, on the
other hand, it had brought witnesses at great
such claims. An act inconsistent as it was
unfair, The learned district attorney had in
his argument referred to some Of the mining
experts introduced by the land owners as pow
erty stricken, yet the speaker had vet to learn
that poverty was antagonistic 20 -truthfulness.
The commission at this point took a recess
until l o'clock in order that Chairman Norris
might keep an important legal appointment
Mr.. Coleman. after the recess. took up the
question OF the claim laid by the government
to the gold that might be found on the lands in
tho proposed park through the patents from the
crown of England to Lord Balti-
more. In this case it was reserved. said Mr.
Coleman. TO the government of the United
States, for the first time in its history, to Law
claim to minerals which might be found in the
lands of its citizens. The spectacle OF this
great government first denying that there
was gold on these lands later denying that it
was there in paying quantities, ana last
of all, claiming that it entitled 10 oue-ffth
if not to the remaining four fifths Of what there
Was there. The merits OF this ciaim had no
place, however before this commission, for it
would be brougbt later before higher tribunal
But, far the speaker was concerned, he
lid not propose .r argue anywhere. tor &C his
opinion. the clam was beneath the notice Of
any sensible, fair-minded maI,.
Mr. Coleman then took mp the record in the
case in reference &C the questloo If gold on the
lands of Messrs TIussdeil and Shoemaker
reading therefrom the testimony Of experts in
troduced by those gentlemen.
