Influence of Their Differing Views on the

WASHINGTON CITY. June 9.-Secretary

determined what to do about the AZ per
cent. bonds. The New York bankers in
sisted that if the bonds were extended at
lower raSe of interest than per cent
they would lose money. At the same time
they admitted that the government was in
a position to force them 10 take the bond.

The secretary here picked up state

BACCARAT BITS.
The Prince of Wales Catching 1t on All
Hands.

LONDON, June 10.-Echoes of the
baccarat suit still fill the air. Sir Ed
ward Clarke, who so ably argued the
case on Monday, is i'll and thoroughly
exhausted to-day. He has entirely
lost the use of his voice, and
is obliged to retire from an i'm
portant case in which he was re-
tanned for to-day The denunciation of
the Prince of Wales by the newspaper
press, especially his denunciaton by the
Tory press, has caused tremendous
sensation throughout Great Britain,
and it is freely asserted that the revela-
tions made during the trial of the bac-
carat suit in court are judged to have
done more to mperil the monarchy
than any event which has taken place
for many years past in England.
The fat 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,
he, the heir apparent, rests under an
imputation of dishOnor quite as shame
full which the Jury put upon Sir Will
liam Gordon Cumming, reflects the gen
eral feeling on the subject.
A precis Of the court proceedings was
telegraphed each night to the Queen,
who is not at Balmoral castld, in Scot
land, and Her Majesty is said to have
expressed herself in such strong terms
that the Truth, of this city, asserts that
il would not be surprised if the Court of
Queens Bench revelations were the
cause of Lord Coventry's resigning his
Office OF Master OF Her Majesty's buck
hounds, or chief of the royal hunt of
Her Maiesty's household, for which
office the Earl draws an annual salary OF
81, 800.
The Queen does not attempt to con-
ceal the fact that she is angry with
every one connected with the baccarat
scandal and the effects of the royal dis
pleasure may yet be felt in several
quarters.
At Ascot yesterday the Prince OF
Wales was visibly nervous until after
he received the dispatches announcing
the Wilson's victory. So soon as he was
in possession of the jury's deliberations
the Prince fairly beamed upon his
friends and relatives, taking no pains to
conceal the pleasure he felt at the re-
suit of the verdict.
The Star to-day, under the heading
of royalty at the stake" says that the
Prince of Wales is the male head OF his
race. The women of mis- house are
virtuous, self-restrained and reliant.
The English people throughout the
world want the men to be more like the
women of this royal line, adding: This
is proud country, and the man who
aspires to represent Englishmen must

dict Of Packed Curt Victoria Has
"Her Mad" Up-EchOsS Of the
BacCarat nial.

LONDON, June 10.-Sir William Cor
don Cumming was married at II o'clock
this morning in the fashionable Holy
Trinity Church, at Chelsea, to Miss
Florence Garner, daughter of the late
Commodore William Garner, of New
York city. Lord Thurlow gave the
bride away. Rev. Robert Eyton Of
ficiated.
The marriage was practically a secret
marriage. Only twelve people were
present at the ceremony at Holy Trini-
tv. The bride looked charmingly hap
py and Sir William was proud looking,
cool and entirely self possessed. There
was no trace in his personal appearance
of depression or emotion resulting from
Yesterdays verdict in the court Of
Queens Bench.
Lady and Sir William Gordon Cum
ming left this city shortly after the
ceremony, for the bridegroom's estate,
Attire, near Forres in Scotland, where
they will spend the honeymoon.
In an interview to-day Sir William
Gordon Cumming said that he had
nothing to add to what he had said in
the witness box. The popular opinion
of the verdict, he added, was shown by
the demonstrations in court. Sir Will
lam refused to say anything in regard
to the comments of the newspapers up
on the case, saying that they were at
perfect liberty TO say what they pleased.
When the verdict was pronounced
against him. Sir William again offered
10 cancel his engagement to Miss Car
ner, but the lady believing in his inno-
cence, would not hear OF such a thing,
and insisted that the marriage should
take place to-day. 1t is expected that
Sir William and his wife will visit the
United Statesl IN the autumn.
Lady Gordon Cumming is the eldest
daughter of the late Commodore Will
lam Garner, of New York, who was
drowned in July, 1876, with his wife
through the capszing OF Mr.. Garner's
yachtsMohawk.
1t is now definitely known that Sir
William Gordon Cumming and his wife
will make their proposed visit to the
United States in tide autumn.
The Baptist Conference which is now
being held in Todmorden. Lancaster
county, has sent Il memorial to Sir
Francis Knolis, the Private Secretary
of the Prince of Wales. praying that
the Prince, in view Of the misery
and ruin in the country, due to the pre-
valence of gambling, he shall in future
decline to engage in or to countenance
gambling in ny form.

Is THIS TREASON?
More Denunciations of the Prince of
Wales

LONDON, June 1O.-The proceedings
of the Primitive Methodist Conference,
now in session at Northampton, assam
ed an exciting character, to-day, when
the matter of the connection OF the
Prince of Wales with the baccarat scan
dal came up for discussion.
Some ofthe speakers went so far as
to urge that the Prince should not be
allowed so succeed to the throne unless
he at once abandon gambling. The
speeches were received with applause.
An understanding was had that The
conference would tomorrow pro-
ceed to the consideration OF the resolu-
tions to be adopted on the SUBJECT.
The Pau MdU Gazette to-day, in COM
menting on the baccarat case, strongly
defends the Wilson's, who pursued, it
says, perfectly honorable and reason
able course They could not stop the
play. Nobody reading the evidence
presented could come to any other con-
clusion than that Sir William Gordon
Cumming was guilty. The Gazette rdi-
cules theidea that the Prince of Wales
came badly out of the case. Continu-
ing. the paper says: However, every
body knows that the tastes OF the Prince
and the. Princes set are little, if not
exacta, low. He prefers chic to cul-
Prince playing baccarat when we give
our public men carte blanche to play the
blackguard.
The st. James Gazette is not sure of
the positive guilt of Sir William. Moth
ing badabout the Prince of Wales had
been disclosed during the trial. The
scandaltw was an ugly one, but it cannot
be saidsthat any dark stains had been
left Jn his reputation. Yet it would be
idle to deny that his is valuable repu-
tatiou; one not to be trifled with or
splashed in the elaborate washing of
dirty enemies. After referring to the
events at Tranby Croft it says: The
plain truth is there is rowdiness,
coarSeness and vulgarity of tone about
society which has been steadily grow
ing of late years. The refinement and
distinction of the salons Of decade
ago is vanishing. Amusemens are be-
coming noisier, rougher and more
coarsely ostentatious." The paper then
comments on the difference between
the Princes conduct and the
Queen's pure life, and continues:
Let princes enjoy themselves when
young, but with advancing years it
might be expected that the Prince OF
Wales would rule his private life with
rather more than less of decOrum, sobrie-
ty and self-restraint than would any
other English gentleman who was fifty
years of age and a grandfather.
The Globe says the Prince of Wales
has displayed disappointing indiffer-
ence to his responsibilities. The Pro-
vincial press strongly condemn the
Prince.

a Packed Jury.

LONDON, June 10.-FriendS Of Sir
William now claim that the jury was
packed, and that, so far from the de-
fense being surprised by the questions
which a juryman addressed TO the
Prince of Wales, the questions We're eX-
pected and had been arranged in ad-
vance, in order 10 give the Prince Il pre-
text for declaring his belief III the
plaintiffs guilt. A iuryman has ad-
mitted that the case was settled against
the defendant by the evidence OF the
Prince, and especially the answer of
the latter declaring that he had found
it impossible to discredit the evidence
against him. 1t is also said that all the
jurymen are Conservatives in political
faith.
A singular circumstance, to which at
tentiOn has been called, is that the most
famous of English trials before that just
concluded, involving the question of
cheating at cards, was little over fifty
years ago, and a Mr.. Cumming was a
defendant. The Cumming in that case
charged Lord de RoOs with cheating.
His Lordship sued Cumming for dam
dBcS, anu Ine jury, DIS III VIC ioOOHo|"o
gave a verdict for the defendant, sub
stantially affirming the truth of the
charge.
Lady Middleton, sister Of Sir William,
is said to be seriously affected by the
verdict, and unable to leave her apart
ments. Her husband, Lord Middleton,
who is devoted to his wife, and has been
an earnest champion of her brother, is
also much broken down. 1t is said TO be
the first stain on the Cummings in all
their history, and the Middletons are one
of the proudeSt families in all England,
being descended from Lord Chief JUS
tce of Henry VIII. 1t is srumored that
Queen Victoria sent message OF con-
graduation to the Wilson's through the
Prince of Wales. but this cannot be
verified.
Sir Edward Clarke, who so ably ar
gued the case on Monday, is i'll and
thoroughly exhausted. He has entire
ly lost the use of his voice, and was
obliged to retire from an important
case in which he was retained for to-
