Continuing, the chief justice analyzed 8t length, the evidence given by the plaintiff, which evidence he said was well worth con- sideration. During another portion of his summing up Lord Coleridge said the prince of Wales pre.eoce at Tranbycroft was suficient to explain Lycett Green's objection to crea- ting a disturbaace in the baccarat room or elsewhere by calling attention to the actious Wwhich be objected to on the partof Sir “William Gordon-Cumming. After the recess Lord Coleridge continued prcharge to the jury. When the chief jus- e defined the law of libel as different from the law of slander, aud when he gave special instructious in regard to the amonnt of dam- ages which the jury should, if they so de- sired, sssess in’ the event that thev found the case for the plaintiff, it was considered that Coleridge’s instructions decidedly favored Cumming. But woen he analyzed the evidence of the defenaants and that” of General Williams, the prince of Wales and Lord Coventry it was judged that this was in effect an_endorsewent of their evidence. While agmitting the improbabil- ity of Cummifig, ju'his position ana wealth, lowering himsélf to cheat aud to cheat bis friend, the prince of Wales, too, Lord Cole- ridge ‘made a strong point azaiust the plain- 1i1f in calling the jury’s attention to his fail- ure to face his accusers. Continuing his reference to the prince of Wales, Lord Coleridge said that the prince was he “presumed a gentleman, and the in- sticet of au honorable man was to range him- self on the side of bis friends. 1f tne princ did not believe the story he would have made it a point to show the world that he did not believe it, but he (the prince) had not met the plaintiff Since." A military tribunal, the chief justice added in substance, "vould judge if the proceedings vith which' General Williams and Lord entry were concerned formed an infrac- JoM{ the rules and regulations governing he armw,so with thut point the jury need not trouble themselves. He (Lord Coleridge) did not know if the gentiemen just mentioned bad or had not broken any military_rule, but if they had done so, in the chief justice’s gpimion they had ‘done so with the st of motives. Lora Coleridee also aid that be did not know why the jury bad cen informed that it was impossivle for the pames of the prince of Wales und General Owen Willlass to remain on the army list if the name of Sir Willian Gordon-Cumming + Was eliminated therafrom. This had nothing to do with the case. The jurv’s verdict would not bave the slightest effect upon the military authorities in one way or the other 80 fur as the gentlemen mentioned were con cerned. Proceeding 0 the consideration of the recis drawn up at Tranbycroft, and setting orth the outline of the events which took rlum- in regard to the baccarat scandal, the o v as he has man. ord chief justice suid that the precis was not n evidence in the case, ana that it was merely a statement of the affair written by ©re of the wilnesses in the suit. Lord Coleridge then turned his attention to Sir William Gordon-Cumming, though his eyes were kept continuously upon the jury men and pot upon the plaintiff. During this branch of the discourse Lord Coleridg, yerely criticised the baronet's conduct after leaving Tranbycroft, referring to the events pubsequent to September 10, the day when the Traubycroft party may be said to have proken up. His conduct then, according to the-chief justice, was not of 4 nature tending to show that the plaintiff was innocent of the charges brought agaiust him. Atanother und later period of the charge, Lord Colenidge, referring to the criticism which bas been heaped upon the prince of Wales since the affuir first became public for the share the heir apparent had taken iu tho Travbycroft episode, said in the main that England was not ouly a free country, but a ocensorious one. The life of the pidece-of Wales, like that of every other person of rank, was continually made a subject of public comment. % “The prince of Wales,” Lord Colriage sdded, somewhat patbetically, ‘goes through mauy boring ceremonies, and whut {}( he did introduce baccarat into that great ouse " In tho absence of any portion of the scan- dal being directly connected with the prince of Wales, Lord Coleridge could not imagine bow any harm could be done to the mon archy, 10 the prince or to anybody else, ad- diug vignificantly, “tnough some people might have asked when tney heard of the trouble st Tranbycroft, ‘Why did mot he read his biblef “But," said the lord chief justice, “no body was any the worse for the hard work ing man taking his pleasures among his friends." “Did the jury believe that the signed the dishouoring document be stated that he bad cheated at cards and dia this to save the princ mot the charge evidence far too great f Lord Coleridge said in could not understand how a o away all for which life was Whicl made life worth living The lord chief justice wo to the jury with the following to be easily misunderstood what he had ¥ lemen of tho d addition that be could giv valued and_ all d up his char empoatic o remark after “1 send you, your duty and the great man to you pass your judgment potSIE W 2 Gior maings, | pray you Ryollect your ow Whén the ‘vase was Bually given to “fpmrieveryhody stemed relioved.

As the still proud looking baronet and Lord Middleton left the new law courts there was auother instance of tho different manner in vbich the general public looked upon the victorious defendants aud upon the defeated plaintif. Sir Williaw and Lord Middleton were no sooner recoguized as they entered the latter's carriage than they were loudly. repeatedly and enthusiastically cheered by the excited crowds packing every approach to the new law courts, tho reception con- trasting vividly, snd most significantly with the totally different manner—dead silence— with which the Wilsons were grected us the drove away. Sir William held a_consultation with Sir Edward Clarke, Mr. Gill and his solicitor i the course ot the evening before proceeding home, where he deated himseif 1o all comers. A group of friends still adberug to him met at the turf clubin expectation of seeing him. Since the seandal became public Cum- ming has not been seen at the Marloorough sards club, but has occasionally visited the Turf circle. Tonight the members of the Turf club seemed undecided Low to act. Personally Cumming is liked at the club. He has an honorable record through- in all his dealings wita members of the club and many are adverse to his expulsion The division of public feeling upon the ver- dict will largely act as a division, the aristo- cratic circles siding with the decision and ap- proving Lord Coleridge's chargs, while the | mass of the pulic sympathize with Cumming and accuse the judge of gross partiality. The hissing with which the alleries of the court saluted the verdict was repeated outside by an excited crowd througing the corridors. The defeudants on leaving the court were surrounded by a mob and numbers of in- sulting illusions were addressed to them until they reached tne protection of their carriages. Mr. Levis, their solicitor, had to fiy for safety to the.adjacent chancery court, where he escaped by climbing over a bench Just vefore leaving Mrs. Wilson telegraphed the resuit to the prince of Wales, adding con- gratulations. The popular reaction is largely due to Sir Edward Clarke's outspoken and fearless ad- dress. When he appeared in the looby of the house of commons touight he was greeted with many congratulations on the ground that he had done the best that could be d agaiust enormous difficulties. His friends fear that the increased distinction he has acquired 1n the trial will not commend him to the court. The liue he took in his allusions to the prince of Wales will be attended with considerable social risk. The court is still immense socia! vower and could operate to _chrck the carcer of even Sir Edward Clarke. A lobby report credits certain m isters with telling Sir Edward Clarke thut he went too far in his comments on the prince of Wales’ relations with bis clieot. Political issues of the affair promise a speedy development. A group of radicals in a house of commons, after & private conlfer- ence, have decided 1o raise a discussion witt special reference to the prince of Wales by motions upon the arwy estimates. Mr. Mor- ton has already given notices that in comuit tee on estimates he will move a reduction of the salary of the commander-in-chief in order 10 raise & general debate in the case. Au indication of how the religious pui- e view the scaudal is eiven in the speeches made ata meeting of Methodist leaders tonight ou the suypression of gamb- ling, Mr. Moulon, president of Wesleyan conference, who presided, deglared that gambling permeated ail classes and that it was time the evil was confronted, else it would soon ruin society. Prince Hughes was cheered to the echo in saying took the first opportunity to thank ward Clarke for his fearless and manly speech. Sycophants aud time servers, be saig, might censure Sir Edward Clarke, but true men would praise bim. It was reserved for bagcarat that the heir to the throne should be given to aue of the worst forms of gambling. Sir Edwaru Clarke mizht bave excited the anger of some, but he bad man- fuily done bis duty. The effect of the verdict in military circles, as general derstood, is that Sir William, major and lieutenant colonel of the Scots Fusilier guards, will be promptly casbiered from the army and just as qulckly expelled from the Marlborough club, the Guards club, the Turf club, and auy other social organiza tion to which be may belong. The summing up of the lord chief justice Quring the afternocon was undoubtedly more against Sir William Gordon-Cumming than were the chief justice’s remurks during the morning. The utterances of Lord Coleridge may be said to have amounted practically to iustructions to flud & verdict agaiust the plaintify One of the baccarat jurymnen viewed after the conrt had adjourned and said there was no doubt from the first wmoment the jury retired as 1o how the ver- dict would go, Each of the jurywmen, he said, was asked as soou a8 they were alone whether ho was for the plaiutiff or the de feud ply was given without hes defendauts, The jury wan wentleman was inter viewed with the plainiiff, but he was s the ur ion which favor of adants that would k hay tiff be saia u face of the evi tod on belilf peared to bim that the jury their winds as t the vertiet his charge Sweden's Heir Apparent Il SrockuoLs, June . —Prince Gustave, beir apparent to the throne of Sweden and way, is awsgeroualy il with lafiuensa, arie and wi with m for the man whose c ond all hepe.

It is to be hoped that parl ament will not prove so pusillanimous, The Chronicle = finally asks what steps will be taken to vindicate justice in the crime which the prince of Wales compounded by signing the compact wita Sir ~ William Gordon-Cummizg, or whether the infamous scandal will be hushed up forever. Tne Times advises the Wilson family hich it accuses of beng needlessly respon- ble for the tragic ruin of a fine career, to remaln in social retirement. In regard to the important aspect of the case the Times says: “We express the universal feek ing of milions of English men and women when wo say that w profoundly regret the prince of Wale: connection with the affair. We almost wish, for the sake of English society, - that as the result of this unhappy case the prince of Wales hud also signed a_declarntion that he would never touch a card again.” The Standard says: “Even if the plaintiff comes out worst in the affair 1L_must be ad- mitted that the defendants and their friends have a somewhat tarnished reputation. The whole business is 1gnoble from the beginning to the end. There is an air of vulganty and shabbiness about it, acd it must_in common tairness be acknowledged that the--priuce of Wales caunot be wholly exempteda from the censure passed on his associates.” s ity. uo ey ummin coup de trois. that Wales at the Asc € Races. Loxvo, June 9.—The prince of Wales, fresh from his week of Listenin to the logal war waged over the baccarat seaadal in the court of queen’s bench, was prosent at the Ascot races today in_comnpany with the eyer popular princess of Wales and her daughters, the princesses Victoria and Maud. The auke of Clarence and Avondale, the heir pre- sumptive, the duke of Cambridge and the duke of Saxeweimer were also among the royal party. The prince of Wales aud all the royalties meotioaed drove in state from Windsor castle the grand stand, béing. nre- ceded by the Yeomen prickers (volunteer light horsemen) in dazzling uniforms of green and scarlet. headed by one of the baccarat trial witnesses, the earl of Coventry, as mas- ter of the buckhounds. Amid much cheering and artistic tootivg of couchinz horns the procession was formed, and the whole line of vehicles drove slow | tion on the and with much diguity to the royal stana, where, upon the prince of Wales' presence vecoming kuown, there was @ scéne of en- thusiasm similar to those witnessed during the drive from Windsor, and all doubts as to the manner in which the prince of Wales would be received by the public after the baccarat trial revelations were set at rest. But Few 'Busses Lun- ing. Loxpox, June 9. —There was little change in the 'bus strise this morning. Very few buses are running. A number of road cars loaded with non- union men paraded the strects this afternoon. The occupants sang and cheered lustily and were auswered with groans by the strikers The excitement was intense, but the police preserved order. The road car directors met and explained to the men tonight that it is umpossible at preseat to increase wages aud pay the dividend proposed. A _resolution pledging the men to resume work in the morzing was carried unani- mously. This will enable the company to start 100 cars. John Burns addressed a mass meeting of strikers, declared that he had collected £5 ' in three minutes o the county council in bebalf of the strikers and that victory was certain. The speaers were hooted &t by non-union wen, but the mounted police kept order. The coucession of twelve hours means a loss to the road car company of £20,000 and to the general omnibus of £70,000. The striking omnibus mea have sent out a number of drivers and conductors with col- lecting boxes iuto the streets and are can vassing the pedestrians In the leading thor- oughfares in order to raise funds to assist them in carrying on the struggle with the companies.

Davis did not suspect that this was mot Bardsley's money because the lattsr prior ‘to 1580 had 2 bim $722,20) for the sams purpose. Charles Lawranca, assistaut eashier of tha Keystone bank, testified that he knev nothing of Bardsley's transactions with the bank. He testified that he had before the date of Joha C. Lucas' présidency of the bank made alterations in the books to cover Lucas’ overdrafts. At the time of the run on the bank he told the directors that Lucas’ 1ndebtedaess was §1,000,000.

Prilaperenia, June 9.—John Barasley, x-city treasurer, was arraigaga this morn- ing on seventeen separate indictments charg- ing him with loaning money 8s @ public offi- cer, deriving gain from the deposit of public money and converting public money to his own use. He pleaded guilty to every count. Tio weeks from today was set for hearing evidence when the court wouid proaounce sentence according to its weight. While arzuing for two weaks' delay coun- sol for Bardsley said he was preparing a statement for Barasley and it would take most of the time to get it readv. This caused a revival of the ramor that Barasley intends t0 make a confession of everyihing. oS DUNHAM'S DEATH, Long Litigation Probable in Settling Up His Estate. CmiosGo, June 9.—Some weeks ago a young man named Charles Dunham, who was re- puted to be a wealthy dealer in railroad sup- plies, but about whom little was known, died of alcoholism at the Washingtonian home. Dunban bad lived in Washington for some years, and it is said he came-f a good family and was well known in social circles in Washington and Baltimoge. [n his dying hours he was nursed by an atractive yonng woman who claimed to be his wife. Today under tne name of Dora F Dunbam she was appointed administrator of the estate in the probate court. Pratracted litigation promises to grow out of Dunham’s death, as his partuer in the railroad supply business, a man named Fenn, claims to_have a biil of sale of the property, made to himby Dunham shortly before his 'death. Mrs, Dunham's attorney declines to give her maiden name, but says that she was united to Dunham by a common law marriage in Baltimore May 13, 1556, and that Dunbam has recognized her as his wife since that time, not only in Balti- more, but in the fashionable eireles in which they moved in New York. . « S e SIR JOHN'S REMAINS, Lying in State in the Semate Cham- ber at Ottawi.
