Echoes of the Baccarat Scandal.

LONDON, June 10.-Echoes of the bac-
carat scandal suit still fill the air. Solicit
or General Sir Edward Clarke, is i'll and
thoroughly exhausted to-day. He has en-
tirely lost the use of his voice and was
obliged to retire from an important case,
in which he was retained for to-day.
The denunciation of the Prince of Wales
by the newspaper press, especially his de-
nunciation by the Troy press, has caused a
tremendous sensation throughout Great
Britain and tits freely asserted the revela-
tions made during the trial of the baccarat
scandal suit in court, have done more to
imperil the 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
confederates" did, that he (the prince) did
not violate the solemn pledge he
gave to Sir William Gordon Cumming, the
heir apparent rests under an imputation of
dishonor quite as shameful as that which
the jury put upon Sir William Gordon Cum
ming, reflects the general feeling on the
subject. The precise court proceedings
were 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 displeasure in such strong
terms that Truth, of this city, asserts it
would not be surprised if the court of
queens bench revelations were the cause
Of the Earl Of Coventry resigning his Office
as master Of her majesty's 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 baccarat scandal and the effects of
this royal displeasure may yet be felt in
several quarters. At Ascot yesterday the
Prince Of Wales was visibly nervous until
after he received dispatch announcing
the Wilson's victory. So soon as he was
in possession OF the result Of the iury's de-
alterations the prince took NO pains to con-

Condition Of the Crops.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The June report
of the department of agriculture makes
the area in winter wheat. as compared
with that harvested last year. 111.5; spring
wheat, 1914; barley, 1911; rye, 1Ol.5;
oats, 91.9.
Condition: Winter wheat, $3.50: spring
wheat, $40; barley, 90.3; rye, % 4; oats, So.
The reduction last year of more than two
million acres suggests the reason for most
of the present increase This advance,
therefore. is both a replacement and devel-
opment of the former, notably in Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas and California, the latter
in less degree in Washington, Oregon, the
Dakotas and in several Of the territories
The extension of acreage according to
our correspondents depends on the price of
wheat and not on the available land. A
large increase of the wheat breadth is
reported in Washington. A large amount
of new land is being broken for next years
crop and the local opinion is expressed that
not more than one-fifth of the wheat land
of that new state is under cultivation.
The condition of winter wheat declined
only | per cent. Average, SO; Pennsyl-
vania, 81; Georgia, IS: Texas, 9S; Ohio SO:
Michigan, 30; Indiana, 90; Illinois, IS; Mis-
souri,, 80; Kansas, 95; California, 81.
The first monthly statement of averages
of spring wheat Dakes Wisconsin, a;
Minnesota, SO; Iowa. IS; Nebraska, %;
Dakota, 50.
Early sown wheat was injured by frosts
in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Germina-
ton was arrested by drought in the same
region. In South Dakota drought retarded
the growth. The conditions have been
more favorable generally in North
Dakota. The recent rains in Ne
braska and Iowa have greatly benefited
wheat and encouraged growers. The
drought in May greatly injured oats on the
entire Atlantic coast. Winter wheats in
the southern states are far better than the
spring crops which was partially destroyed
by drought and insects. Not only is the
acreage reduced in the Ohio valley, but the
condition is low in consequence of dry
weather. In Minnesota the injuries of the
drought were supplemented by those cut
worms. The condition is the highest on the
northern Atlantic coast and on the Pacific
where the areas are very limited.
The increase in the acreage Of barley is
general in almostevery section where it Is
grown and especially marked in the states
of the Ohio valley. In Nvisconsion and
California the condition is uniformly higher
except in portions of the northwest where
it has been made lower by the drought and
cool weather.

reformed and proceeded to the station. The
funeral train then proceeded to Kingston.

INDIANS AND POLITICS
The Nebraska Farmers Alliance
Hostile to the Reds.
They and the Knights Of Labor Will Oppose
Indian Boy Pupils Being Put to Work
IN the Beet Fields.

WASHINGTON, June TO- Commissioner
Morgan, of the Indian bureau, has received
a second letter from Superintendent
Backus of the Genoa, Neb., industrial
school for Indian children, explaining more
fully the situation in that section as to the
employment of Indian children in the beet
fields. Backus. owing to the opposition OF
the working people about Norfolk, advises
against the putting Of boys out to work,
and says: 1--WE have three political par
ties in this state, and at the present time
about seventy thousand in each party. One
party il composed OF the Farmers alliance
and knights of Labor combined; the other
two are Republicans and Democrats. / feel
sure if we allow our boys to work in the
beet fields, the Farmers alliance and
Knights of Labor organizations will unite
as party and condemn our action"
Commissioner Morgan in reply, briefly
reviews the history of the Indians as a race
in this country, calling attention TO the
fact that they are struggling with many
discouraging obstacles in their efforts to
secure for themselves livelihood, and
briefly explains the policy of the govern
ment. The commissioner explains that the
''outlng SYSTEM has been of great ben
efit to Indian boys and girls and he greatly
uepfecdtes Tue dcHou VI solue Vi the iaoor-
ing people of Nebraska in opposing the
scheme. He suggests that if the superin-
tendent finds mis- efforts to secure proper
employment for the pupils of his school at
reasonable wages are 10 be resisted by
political parties or other organized bodies
of citizens of Nebraska, that he report the
case fully, that the matter may be laid be-
fore Congress at its next session. The
commissioner further asksd. in the iudg-
ment of the superintendent, the peo-
pie of Nebraska are so hostile to the school
in it's endeavor to make intelligent, indie
pendent either of its Indian pupils,
whether it would not be best to stop all
improvements with view of closing the
school and abandoning the enterprise The
money. he says, can be expended to advan-
tsge in states where the citizens are only
too glad to have these institutions of learn
ing.

lynching and the open defiance of non
commissioned officer supported by the
guard, should have been sufficient warning
to him of what might be expected. and neg
