ABISTOCBACY is SHOCKED
Again in Great Britain and $75, 900
Damage Suit is on Trial.

London, June 9.-Viscount SudIey.
heir to the earldom of Arran, is the de
fendant in an action for e15.00O dam
ages instituted by Mary Stewart Smith,
otherwise May Gore, trial of which was
begun today before the chief justice,
Baron Russell, of KilOwet and a special
jury.
The viscount, who is a lieutenant in
the royal horse guards it is alleged by
counsel for the plaintiff, met Miss
Smith at the house OF her sister, the
wife of one of the minor nobility. The
plaintiff succumbed to the viscount's
beguilments soon after making his ac-
qUaintance and went to live under his
protection. Through family influence,
the intimacy was broken off and the
plaintiff accepted the sum of $500 in
lieu of all claims against Viscount Sud
ley.
Later she lived under the protection
of the Hon. Alfred Stourton, heir pre-
sumptive to the barony Of Moray, Sc
grave and Stourton. subsequently at
urgent and persistent solicitation of
ViscOunt Sudley, the plaintiff left Lieu
tenant Stourton and entered into an en-
gagement to 90 to the United States as
a dancer. In New York she appeared
in the play Little Christopher" at the
Garden theater, under the name Of
Stewart.
While in the states viscount Sudley
wrote to her almost daily urging the
resumption of their former relations
and promising ultimate marriage.
Moved at last by his opportunities, ac-
cording to counsel for the plaintiff. Miss
Smith decided to return to Sudley and
lived with him until he again cast her
off as he is alleged to have explained,
at the command of his father. The vis>
count denies that he ever promised
marriage and asserts that he was in
troduced to the plaintiff by a brother
officer. his relations with her beginning
few days after the meeting.

that west of the Missouri river the peO-

the Republicans among them also de-
sired a larger tariff, and, despairing of
accomplishing anything for silver, were
willing to let 90 of silver and go with
the Republicans for sound money and
higher tariff. In four months this has
all been changed. Now the people west
of the Missouri appear to want silver,
and nothing else.

Springfield, Ill, June 9-The follow

New York Herald by Governor Altgeld
this evening:
What are your views on the prob~
ability of Cleveland supporting Nc
Kinley and the consequences of such
action?"
To this the governor replied as fol-
lows:
England enabled Benedict Arnold to
ravish Virginia after he had betrayed
the colonies which had trusted and
honored him; but no power on earth
can enable Mr.. Cleveland to further in
jure the Democratic party, which had
honored and trusted him and which he
has betrayed in a more cowardly man
ner tl1an Arnold did the colonies BY
all means let him support Mckinley,
for then Democratic success will be as
sured.
