THE PRINCE RECEIVES ADVICE.
The Church Times advises the Prince of
Wales to sign renunciatlon of card-play-
ing. This, it says. would have tremen-
dous moral effect over society and would not
harm the Prince.
WILL APOLOGIZE FOR THE PRINCE.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke of
Cambridge came to town this morning on
business, which is generally understood to
be connected with the baccarat scandal
The Prince, who was at first disposed to
treat the matter lightly, is now awakened
to the seriousness OF the situation. The
London correspondent of the Leeds Mer-
curry Says he has good reason to state that
the Secretary Of State for War will apollo
gZe Monday next in the Commons on be-
half of the Prince of Wales for the share
the latter took in cOndoning the conduct of
Cumming at Tranby Croft last September.
LORD CoLERIDGE AROUSED.
1t is currently reported that Lord Cole
ridge, Lord Chief Justice of England, who
presided at the recent trial of the suit OF
Cumming against Arthur Wilson and others,
Will take official notice of the charge made
against him by Sir William, the substance
OF which is that the verdict Of the jury
would have been entirely different had it
not been for the partiality tor defendants
which the Lord Chief Justice showed in his
summing up and charge to the jury.
WHO BACKED THE PRINCE.
EDINBURGH, June 13.-The Scottish
Leader to-day says: AT the time of the
financial crisis when the BaTings were en-
barrasSed several financiers who had loaned
the Prince of Wales large sums of money
were obliged to ask for its return. These
sudden demands put the Prince in a serious
fix for a time, until Arthur Wilson, at
whose house the famous games of baccarat
were PLAYED. came TO the as istance Of the
heir-apparent and loaned him 81, 600, 900.
with which the Prince paid back some of
the money he had borrowed from other
tinanciers.
