The Congo Slave Treaty.

WASHINGTON, June IA number of in
quiries have been received at the state de-
partment from philanthropic organizations
and individuals as to the failure of the
United States to signify its adherence to
the Congo treaty, the final ratification of
which must be exchanged before the end
of the month. This treaty is an agreement
to suppress the slave trade, the sale of
breech- loading fire arms and intoxicants in
the Congo district of equatorial Aftica, and
nearly all of the great powers have accepted
it. To the inquiries the state department
replied that the subject is still pending in
the United States Senate and the depart
ment does not feel at liberty to discuss the
matter generally, but it is proper to say, as
the result of recent correspondence, that it
is not improbable that the treaty will go
into effect at abe appointed time in respect
to all of the signatorieS except the United
States, and it will be left open to this gov
eminent to give Its adhesion hereafter.
The opponents of the treaty in the last ses-
sion of the Senate took their stand upon
several propositions. One was that the
approval of the treaty by the United States
would carry with it the recognition OF GER
tain French claims TO large part OF Lii
IBERIA, which recent events show are now
being actively pushed. AS that country is
regarded as one of our wards, we could not
permit such an aggression. Its also urged
the United States could not, consistently
with the Monroe doctrine, undertake to
join q plan of dictation respecting the af-
fairs of another continent; and, again, it
would be unwtse for the United States to
give recognition to the present rather broad
claims of European nations to the best por-
tons of Africa, which are tacitly recognized
by the treaty.

phia's City Treasurer.

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-Ghe deeper the
experts probe into the affairs of ex-City

paid Bardsley December 81. 1t is sur
missed he used part of this vast sum to take
up bad checks of the Keystone bank for
500, that he was carrying as cash.

Investigating Bardsley,s Accounts.

| PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-United States
District Attorney Reed appeared before
the investigating committee of the council
this afternoon and made personal explana-
tior of his course in acting as attorney for
the Keystone bank as member of the
law firm of Reed & Petit.
AUDITOR General McCamont was the next
witness. Rufus E. Shapely appeared with
the auditor-general and stated he repre-
scented the attorney general of the state
Shapely said owing to the prospective Hti-
CATION between the state and city of Phila-
delphia over the deficit in the state funds
the auditor general, by advice of the at
torney-general, must refuse TO answer any
questions that will be disadvantageous to
the case of the state, but that statement
of the moneys owing the state by the city
would be furnished by the auditor-general.
The auditOr-general then read statement
in which 1t was shown there was still due
the state from license, loans and taxes col
lected by Bardsley for the year 1890 total
of SS15,715.
State Treasurer Boyer also was called. but
the same objection TO his answering ques-
lions as in the case of the auditor-general
was made by Shapely.
Harry G.. Jones, assistant bank exam
liner, testified Comptroller of the Cur
rency Lacey was mere on the 18TH OF Feb
ruary last aud was AZ the keystone bank
He was shown a SIS tement of the condition
of the bank, including the Justification of
the ledger, padding of New York bank ac-
counts and carrying of due bills as assets.
Ex-Director of Public Works Wagner
testified to conference held between him
self and the officials of the Keystone bank
regarding his acceptance of the presidency
of the bank. During the course of his ex-
animation General Wagner WAS asked what
he knew about the Spring Garden bank.
Wagner, who before he was approached on
the subject Of the presidency of the bank,
was q candidate for the receivership of the
bank, testified that when he first went to the
bank on the subject of the presidency he said
to Bank Examiner Drew that he understood
that the receivership had been settled and
it was to be Nelson +. Evans, president of
the Spring Garden Insurance company and
a director of the Spring Garden bank.
Wagner also added he understood Wanna
maker was backing Evans for the position.
In reply, Drew said to General Wagner:
mo, / think you are mistaken. Wanna
maker has nothing to do with it. Now,
that explains something did not under
stand. Assistant Secretary Nettleton is a
great friend of Evans, and he is probably
backing him for the position. 1t also ex-
plains some accounts at the Spring Garden
l did not understand, where Nettleton ap-
pears as a large borrower"
Wagner said he had since looked into the
papers for the name of Assistant Secretary
Nettleton as one OF the debtors of the
bank, but had not seen it. Adjourned until
Monday.

The Omaha Bridge Case.

OMAHA, June l2.-ln the United States
court this morning Attorney Poppleton
finished his presentation Of the case for
plaintiffs in the Rock Island U niop Pacific
bridge case. He was followed by Judge
Dillon, general counsel for the Union Pa
cific.

roads at length and pointed out that it
amounted to lease to the associated Rock

point that the Union Pacific had no power
to make contract He was followed by A

ors and government directors had not ap-

THE ROYAL COUNTERS
An Ascot Crowd Insults the
Prince of Wales.
They Cried Out Have YOu Brought You
Counters With Youg'-0fhers Indulge
in More Offensive Thrusts.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable.
LONDON, June 12.-News reached the city
at a late hour last evening that a disagree
able scene occurred at Ascot races yester
day, an unfavorable demonstration to the
Prince of Wales being made. An attempt
has been made to hush the matter up and
the newspapers have been solicited from
infiuen tial quarters to make no ment ton OF
the fact, or at least to minimize the import
ance of the affair.
1t seems that as the prince was driving
up with part of his noble friends the crowd
in the vicinity, composed mostly of well
dressed people, but with sprinkling of the
rougher element, hooted and jeered his
royal highness, making sarcastic allusion to
the baccarat scandal. Some cried out,
Have you brought your counters with
you!" Others INDUCED in more offensive
thrusts. The aristocratic group around the
prince, though apparently too astonished
and startled to be in full possession of their
wits, managed TO make counter demon
Stration of rather weak sort in support of
the prince, who was himself pale with
anger and who cast furious glances at his
insulters.
This is believed to be the first time that q
made against the Prince of Wales by q
crowd bearing any claim TO responsibility,
and the incident is even more significant
than the lecturing that he has been getting
the past few days from the religious and
secular newspapers.
Referring to that portion of the foregoing
which states that This is believed to be
the first time that disrespectful demon
stration has ever been made against the
Prince of Wales by crowd bearing any
claims to responsibility" not few will
remember that in 1870, when the Prince of
Wales appeared as witness, not to say CO.
respondent, in the Mordaunt divorce case,
which was tried in the absence of Lady
Mordaunt, as her insanity was certified to
by medical experts, that he was insulted on
the streets. Lady Mordaunt had confessed
TO her husband. Sir Charles Mordaunt,
Bart, that she had been unfaithful to him
with Lord Cole, Sir Frederick tombstone
and the Prince of Wales. When in the
witness box the prince declared under oath
that there was no foundation for the lady's
statement: nevertheless, on one occasion
shortly afterwards, as he was driving to
the theatre, a London crowd greeted him
with cries: "Ah, you, who drove Lady
Mordaunt mad!'
Sir William Gordon Cumming writing to
prominent Nottingham newspaper says:
81 am distinctly of the opinion that but for
the gross Partially shown in the summing
up by the lord chief justice the case would
have gone very differently" The costs in
Sir William Gordon Cummings case,
amount, in round numbers, to something
more than e, 900. There is rumor cur
rent in the city that Lord Coventry has
handed in his formal resignation as master
of the Buck Hounds, to Lord Salisbury, in
consequence of the feeling which has
shown itself against him in connection
with his part in the baccarat scandal.

Thrilling Scenes at Troy Hill.

PITTsBURs, June 12.-The doings of
Father Mollinger the priest-physician, have
lately furnished material for many sensa-
tional stories. The reverend father to-
day made a statement from the steps of the
school house. He said no preference would
be shown anyone. The weak and most
sorely afflicted ones, especially women and
infants, will be attended 10 first. The
scenes at Troy Hill were more thrilling
than on previous days. At the parochlal
school people struggled for place near one
OF the three doors. The wonder is that
half dozen babies borne in their mothers
arms were not severely hurt, and only one
woman tainted.
No cures of a miraculous nature were
reported, though number of visitors 1eit
improved in health, after consultation with
the priest Tomorrow is St. Anthony S
day, and an immense crowd is expected TO
be present. The church and chapel have
been especially decorated for the occasion
