BARONET AND BANK.
The End of the Baccarat Scandal not Yet
~ Reached.


The End of the Baccarat Scandal not Yet
81 Reached.
LONDON, July 1.-The latest scene in the
drama known as "Ihe Baccarat Scandal. or
the Baronet, the Prince and the Bank" is
the action of Lord and Lady Brooke. They
have instructed George Lewis, the we'll
known solicitor, to sue all papers which
printed paragraphs intimating that it was
Lady Brooke who spread the story which
led TO the case finding its way into public
channels and thence into the law courts.
1t is stated tonight that the leading radi-
cal members of parliament intend bringing
up the baccarat scandal before parliament
in an entirely unexpected shape at an early
date, and in such manner as to put the
government in an uncomfortable position.
This will again mix up matters. William
Summers, a liberal member of parliament,
said:
THAT to cheat at cards is crime is we'll
known. Section II of 649 Victoria, chapter
109, is perfectly explicit on that point. Now.
the jury by their verdict in the case of Sir
William Gordon Cumming va. Wilson and
Others have practically found that, in their
cheat at cards. Two questions therefore
arises First, will the government or public
prosecutor prosecute Sir William Gordon
Cumming for cheating at cards or perjury ?
And, second, will the government or will
the public prosecutor take any action against
those Others who are admitted to have COM
pounded crime, and who appear
to have been engaged in what ia
known at law as conspiracy to defeat
the ends of justice? The question
as to whether baccarat is an unlawful
game has already been decided, and de-
cided in the affirmative by Sir Henry
Hawkins in the case of jerks vs.. Turpin.'
The honorable gentleman has not stated
the exact parliamentary course that he pro-
poses to take.

THE NEW LAKE.
Speculation as to the Source of the
yVater


SAN Francisco, July 1.-Reports from
Redland say the lake is at least ten miles
wide at Salton. Among citizens great
variety of theories are held regarding the
source of the water. The finding of salt
water fish would indicate that he
water came from the ocean. Il he
specific gravity of the water shows
it is much heavier than ocean water,
but this is accounted for by the presence of
vast salt beds. The water is but two or
three feet deep, and it is impossible to de-
termine whether the volume is increasing
or not, as a strong shifting wind causes it
to recede nearly half mile, then brings it
back further than before. The theory of the
water coming from cloud burst was dispell-
ed to-day by the fact that the water con-
tinued to rise to-day when it should have
been at high water mark several days ago.
G. w. Debrow, of the salt works, who has
spent several years at Salton, is becoming
alarmed at the rise of water. Considerable
apprehension was felt this morning
over the safety of the road
Supt. Mulville, with two boatmen,
started last night to explore the lake in u
small boat. Shallow water makes the trip
perilous, as the wind shifts the waters and
il liable to leave the boat standing far
from shore, while the soil is of very
treaoherous nature and would preclude the
possibility OF wading ashore. The party
have not yet returned.

New YORK, July l.-Judge Barnard, sit
ting in the supreme court has granted an
injunction restraining the payment Of q
dividend on the stock of the Sugar Refn-
cries company. The plaintiff in the
case is said to be James A. Taylor.
1t seems that the injunction is similar
to the action of man who locked his stable
door after his horse was stolen. 1t is said
that checks for the dividend we're all made
out and mailed to the stockholders late last
night. This done, the trustees silently
stole away, and no officers of the company
we're at their desks to-day. Inquirers
we're told they had all gone fish
ing. The officers were unable to find
any one on whom to serve the injunction
papers. This is the first dividend by the
company since reorganization. When the
announcement of the granting of the divi-
dend was made in Wall street this morning,
it created quite little furore IN the mar
ket. Sugar stock, which sold as high as 95,
dropped to 81 and then sold up again to
