The announcement is made from appa-
renty authentic sources that Sir Gordon
Cumming, principal in the London bac-
carat 0scandal. in which the Prince of Wales
is correspondent, is shortly to visit friends
ana relatives in South Dakota. Upon his
arrival in st. Paul it is understood that Sir
Gordon will explain everything. From adj
vance sheets of his forthcoming explanation
the GLOBE is enabled to lay before its readers
the facts connected with a sensation that has
stirred all London. from Ludgate Hill to the
Welsh Harp. II appears that during the re-
cent visit of Eugene Field to England he fell
violently i'll love with the Princess of Wales,
and took no pains TO conceal his passion.

say That social upheaval occurred such
