erai Williams and he told plaintiff, after
the accusations of cheating had been
made, that Lycett Green and one of the
other gentlemen who had witnessed the
acts made the complaint and an

with Sir William. "But," added wit

any desire to meet Mr.. Green or to be

THE EARL's NOTE BOOK.
The earl produced note book in
which he had entered memorandum
of the principal events which took place
at Tanbycroft in September last. Sir
Charles Russell read the entries refer
ring to the baccarat scandal, which had
been made there by Coventry. 1t was
soon seen that the account in the book
agreed in all the main particulars with
the evidence already presented upon be.
half of the defendants. The memoran-
DUN closed with the words: "I was in
duced to recommend this course in order
to avoid scandal, and in order to keep
the prince OF Wales out of it. consid-

RUSSELL ADDRESSES THE JURY.
This concluded the case for the de-
tense, and Sir Charles Russell on behalf
of the defense addressed the jury.
Sir Charles Russell, in his address,
severely scored Sir William Gordon
Cumming. He asked how plaintiffs
conduct could possibly be considered
consistent with innocence. The defend
ant, he said, had been blamed for not at
once exposing Sir William Gordon
Cumming if he was really detected in
cheating. But the jury would ad-
NIT that it was too much to
suggest that honorable men, be-
lieving themselves to be acting as
the plaintiffs friend, should be treated
as coming into court and not believing
him guilty, because they did issue
against him an unmerciful edict of ire
vocable condemnation. Could anything
be imputed to the witnesses to justify
the assumption that they were not cred
ible. He had not known in his exper-
ience five witnesses who gave such con-
current evidence, which was so abso-
lutely untouched by cross-eXamination.
At the conclusion of the address the
court adjourned to Monday next.

formed that woman had been assault
ed at house on Twenty-second street.
Officers went to the place and found
woman named Mrs. Spillman in bed in
the house of Mr.. Gehring. The woman
presented horrible appearance. Her
skull over the left eye had been carried
away or crushed in, and the brain pro-
truded through the orifice. The face
was covered with blood and her right
eye was badly bruised. The woman sue
ceeded in telling the chief of police the
story of her injuries. She said she hao
gone to bed last night, when at about II
O'Clock there came a. knock at the door.
She asked who was there, and
man replied that party want
ed whisky. Mrs. Spillman said none was
in the house, and Immediately the door
was burst open and three men rushed
in. One of them instantly struck her
over the left eye with a heavy instru-
ment. knocking her senseless. She
thinks, however, that she can remem-
ber seeing the men run as soon as the
blow was struck. The men were all
strangers to her, and she does not think
she could identify them. At 4 O'Clock
this morning Mrs. Zufier, a woman who
was sleeping in the kitchen OF
Mrs. Spillman's house, heard her
groans and went to her aid She
called Mrs. Gehring and the woman was
borne to the latter's house. Late this
afternoon DIR. Nichols was called in. 1t

BALTIMORE, June 5.--Alestor Penrose
Gordon Cumming has lived for the past
twelve years in Carroll county, Mary
land, about twenty miles from Balti-
more. He has received several letters
from Sir William in which the lieuten-
ant-colonel of the Scots guards declares
his innocence of the alleged baccarat
cheating and says he (Sir William) will
fight the matter to the bitter end. Mr..
Gordon Cumming, referring to his
brothers. alleged mode of play, says Sir
William has since his early youth been
afflicted with touch OF st. Vitus dance,
inheriting it from his mother, which
causes Sir William to exhibit nervous
ness of the hands. When playing at
cards Sir William would invariably toy
with the chips. He thinks those who
accuse his brother of cheating have thus
deceived themselves.
He speaks OF the Wilson's as extremely
common people and of Berkeley Lovett
as lead" Concerning the signing of
the famous contract by Sir William, his
brother says it was done solely that
there would be no expose of the prince
OF Wales's exorbitant gambling.

LONDON, June 5.-All the exhibitions,
theaters, musical entertainments and
other such attractions have been fully
eclipsed--shadowed into almost COM
plete neglect by the interest which has
been taken in the great baccarat show,
which has been presented throughout
the week at the queens bench, division
of her maiesty's high court of justice.
The court has been crowded daily with
f'smartest Londoners," those who were
able to obtain the necessary season tick
cts, and the familiar criticisms of the
English newspapers to the effect that
there is considerable lack of dignity in
the United States courts, compared with
British courts, have been so weakened
that they should never again be renewed
in the face of the fashionable display,
luncheon exhibitions and 9TH
er scenes witnessed during the
progress of the baccarat case. Lady
Coleridge, wife of the lord chief justice,
has been seen each day seated on the
bench at the right hand of her husband,
entertaining her numerous circle of
friends, laughing and talking when she
has not been writing notes for her hus-
band, and sending them around the
court with the same freedom as if she
had been at garden party. Sir Charles
Russell was obliged more than once to
suspend his examination of witnesses
on account of the lack of decOrum dis
played in court.

DOESN'T WANT TO IRRIGATE.
The Southern Pacific's Efforts to Be Ex-
cIuded from Irrigation Districts.

ANAHEIM, June 5.-The directors of
the Anaheim irrigation district this
morning decided to rescind the action
taken Tuesday, calling a meeting at
Bakersfield, June 10Th, of delegates of
irrigation districts through which the
Southern Pacific passes, and from which
the railroad will undoubtedly ask to be
excluded to escape taxation. The di-
rectors decided to deny the railroads pc
tition to be set out OF this district,
and will defer the conference till some
more distant time. If the railroad car
ries the case into the courts a confer
ence of all the districts will be called for
the purpose of taking united stand
against it. The railroad irrigation taxes
in this district amount to upwards of
$500. If successful, the railroad will
pay no taxes for irrigation in this state,
very important point for irrigators.

STUDENT BARBARIANS.
Riotous Conduct of College Boys at Be
lott, wis,

lott, Wis.
BELo1T, Wis, June 5.-There was
much excitement today over fracas of
college and academy students last night,
which resulted in an incipient riot. The
senior academy class was to have it's an
nual banquet, which event for years has
been the occasion of more or less OF a
muss. Usually members OF the ban
quoting class are kidnapped by other
classes, or otherwise detained from par
ticipating in the festivities. Last night
body of college and academy
men made charge on the banqueting
class. One student was shot in the side
by another, but his wounds are not
dangerous. Windows were broken in
the hotel where the supper was to be
served. The toast-master was taken
from his home to the banquet hall
under the guard OF police. There were
several bandaged heads at the recita-
tions today. 1t was the toughest event
the college boys ever engaged in here.

CURED at Valparaiso.
WASHINGTON, June 5. - The account
which came from San Francisco, yester-
day, of naval engagement in Valpa-
raiso harbor, is received with incredu-
lity at the navy department. Such facts
as are officially known seem to discredit
the story. The engagement is reported
to have taken place April 2Sth, in the
presence of foreign men-of-war. Adj
miral McCann was on that date on
board the Baltimore; yet, in his report
to the department on the next day, he
failed to mention any such event. In
addition to this the department officers
say they have no doubt that if an en-
gagement with such pronouced results
had taken place, the news would have
been promptly telegraphed to the
United States instead of taking the
slower course of mail steamers.

adds: ''We respectfully submit to his
royal highness that by his conduct he

city is now being governed unconstitu-

This is a practical confirmation OF the

Too Much Irrigation in the Famous City
of Raisins.

FRESNO, June 5.-The canal company
has not yet succeeded in stopping the
break in the levee of the canal, which
occurred in the suburbs OF Fresno, on
Wednesday. The water has inundated
the northern portion of the city, and is
coming in on several streets. The street
car line on Blackstone avenue is washed
out in several places. The only remedy
remaining seems to be the closing of the
headgates at Kings river, twenty miles
from here, and shutting the water out
from the canal. This will not bring
immediate relief, however, as the water
will continue to flow in the canal thirty
hours after the headgates are closed.

4 River of Fire.

Further details of the great earth
quake and tidal wave at the mouth of
the Colorado River show that the first
reports were not exaggerated. Jose
Perez, a cattleman from Lerdo, has
reached Yuma. He says that on the
forenoon of the day of the earthquake
several men were building fences on his
place when suddenly the fence toppled
over. All threw. themselves on their
knees and began praying. In the midst
of their devotions a hundred-foot tidal
wave showed up. The prayers were cut
short, and jumping over an unexpected
c,evasse in the roadway, the Andrade
ill was reached by the men. From that
leak, Perez states, the sight was sub
inc. Across the Colorado turbulent
volcanoes could be seen in brilliant
Eruption. On the bed of the river and
ONE miles beyond its banks reddish-col
red, foam covered waters rushed ahead
ut the height of fully 100 feet. Below
l.erdo could be seen a wide river of
iiIish-purple fire flowing down into the
Colorado near the Calf, where it
steamed, sputtered and added to the
general confusion. This river of fire is
undoubtedly from Sulphur Mountain,
which, it is feared, has been set on fire
rom the volume of burning and infam-
!nable material thrown out from the vol
canoes which heretofore have never been
known to throw out anything but mud
and hot water.
General Andrade, head of the Lerdo
colony, has received private advices from
the scene of the earthquake. He says
the force of the shock was severe and
was much more so than was at first re-
ported. One of the largest houses in
the colony was cracked from top to bot
tom and the roof fell in with a crash that
sounded like a dynamite blast. Luckily,
the inmates ran out when they felt the
premonitory shock and thus escaped
death. A large stable built partly Of
brick and partly of adobe was leveled to
the ground and several other buildings
were more or less severely damaged
The most striking phenomenon was a
ehasm three feet wide and between 200
and 300 feet long. Although weights at
tached to lines several hundred feet in
length were let down no bottom could
be found. From this remarkable fissure
issued smoky vapor which disappeared
after a few hours, but the air is per
meated with a gaseous oder irritating to
the lungs. The people in the neighbor
hood are alarmed fearing a repetition of
the earthquake and the superstitious
Indians are holding religious rites 10
