AFFRoNTs TO LORD oARRINGToN
Anti British Scenes at Portuguese
Railway Stations.

London. April 4,--Dlspatches received
here from Paris reiterate the stories Of
affronts TO Lord Darlington and his
suite while returning from Lisbon af-
ter formally announcing King Ed
wards accession to King Charles of
Portugal. II seems that the train on
which the mission travelled conveyed a
number Of nurses returning from the
Boer army. The result says a dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany from Paris was that at every sta
ton there were anti British scenes.
Lord Darlington and his suite were
openly insulted, while the nurses were
greeted with loud cheers. The stua-
tion became so intolerable that the
British mission finally changed trains.

A wholesale Raid.

Last Saturday night Sheriff Hebert
made a raid on the negro gambling
dens on Rose Hill and near Caliste
GGidry's old store and bagged about
two dozen. Monday twenty-three
negroes were arraigned on motion of
District Attorney Greene and twelve
pleaded not guilty TO the charges
against them, and their trial was fixed
for Wednesday when they also enter
ed a plea of guilty. Nine pleaded
guilty of playing craps and were fined
$40 or 80 days in Jail each. Two
pleaded guilty of carrying concealed
weapons and were fined $50 each.
Judge Goray informed those on whom
he passed sentence that they not only
violated the state laws by playing
dice, butathe person IN whose premi-
SEES they played was also liable. and
asked the district attorney to take
cognizance of that fact, remarking
that the Abbeville Canal Company
and the Rose Hill Sugar Company
could be prosecuted also.
The officers are to be congratulated
for their prompt action in the matter
and it is believed that it will put a
stop to gambling at craps and the
money thus lost will be spent for food
and clothing.
