ECHOES OF THE TRIAL.
The Baccarat Scandal Still the Leading
Topic in England.

Topic IN England.
LONDON, June 10.-Echoes of the
baccarat scandal suit still fill the air.
Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke
is ill and thoroughly exhausted today.
He has entirely lost the use of his voice
and has been obliged to retire from an
important case in which he was retained
for today. The denunciation of the
prince of Wales by the newspapers.
especially his denunciation by the Tory
press, has caused tremendous sensa-
ton throughout Great Britain, and it is
freely asserted that the revelations made
during the trial of the baccarat scandal
suit in court, are judged to have done
more to imperil monarchy than any
event which has taken place for
many years past in England. The
fiat assertion made by the
daily Chronicle to the effect that
until the prince of Wales on oath swears
as ''his confederate" did, that he (the
prince did not violate the solemn
pledge he gave to Sir William,
the heir apparent rests under an impu-
tation of dishonor quite as shameful as
that which the jury put upon Sir Will
liam Gordon Cumming, reflects the gen.
eral feeling on the subject.
THE QUEENS DIsPLEAsURE.
A precis of the court proceedings was
telegraphed each night to the queen,
who is now at Balmoral castle, in Scot
land, and her majesty is said to have ex-
pressed her dlspleasure in such strong
terms that Truth, of this city, asserts
that it would not be surprised if the
court of the queens bench reve-
lations were the cause of the
earl of Coventry resigning his
Office as master of her majesty's g
buck hounds, or chief of the royal hunt
of her majesty's household, for which
office the earl draws an annual salary
of $500. The queen does not attempt
to conceal the fact that she is angry
with every one connected with the bac-
carat scandal, and the effects of the
royal displeasure may yet be felt in sew
eral quarters.
WALES PLEASED WITH THE VERDICT.
At Ascot yesterday the prince Of
Wales was visibly nervous until after
he received dispatch announcing the
Wilson's victory. AS soon as he was IN
possession of the result of the jury
deliberations the prince took no pains
to conceal the pleasure he felt at the re-
suit of the verdict.
ADMoNITIoN FOR THE PRINCE.
The Star today, under the heading
Royalty at the Stake, says "The prince
of Wales is the male head of his race
the women of his house are virtuous,
self-restrained and reliant. The Eng
lish people throughout the world want
the men to be more like the women of
this royal line. This is proud country,
and the man who aspires to represent
Englishmen must keep everything about
him fresh and bright, and must be ex-
ceedingly jealous of his reputation, and
must not be known as baccarat banker
and as specialist in gaming counters. J"
METHODIST CONDEMNATION.
Atthe Primitive Methodist conference,
now being held at Northampton, several
speakers denounced the prince OF Wales
for the share he took in the baccarat
scandal. In addition some speakers
urged that the prince Of Wales should
not be allowed to succeed to the throne
unless he abandons gambling. The con-
ference will consider tomorrow some
resolutions upon this subject, which
will be presented to it.
WALES IMPL0RED TO STOP GAMBLING.
A Baptist conference in Todmorden,
Lancaster county, has sent memorial
to the private secretary of the prince of
Wales, praying that the prince, in view
of the misery and ruin in the country
due TO the prevalence of gambling, shall
in the future decline to engage in it or
to countenance gambling in any form.
