His Gy Comparing Shortcomings with Those of rge the Fourth— ice Gates of Scan- Wide Open. [Copyriaht 1891 by James Gordon Bennet?.] Loxnox, June 18.—[New York Herald Cable Special to Tug Bre)—The statement in the Herald from the Garner family has attracted much attention in all purts of the country, A good deal of sympathy 1s ex- pressed for thefyoung laly whose generosity and maguanimity led her to marry a rained man, but whether the man himself should have permitted so great a sacrifice is anothor question. A young woman unacquainted with the world could not possibly judge of the far-reaching effect of the verdict ren- dered at the recent trial. The storm still rages, too, around the prince of Wales and an attempt will bo made next week to make his conduct a sub- jeet of discussion in parliament. Two mem- rs have given notice of the questions for Monday but thoy are men of no weight or consideration in the House, mere fussy busy- bodys who provoke mnothing but ridicule whenever they open their mouths, I see no sign of auy formidable government parliament, and am confident it would meet with no success even if started. The pross and religious bodies are, however, pouring out vials of their wrath on the prince’s head and say his conduct has been worse than that of any of his predecessors. This 1s rough, remem ering what George IV was like when hio was prince of Wales, His cruelty to his ather, his false marriages, abominablo tret- ment of women, dice playing, defiant intrigue with Lady Conyngham, and the orgies whi wenton in the pavilion at Brighton, ana against all this we have toaccuse tho prince of Wales with playing baccarat for small stakes 10 a country house and having been a party to au arrangement intended to shicld the al- loged cheat from exposuro. Botter far would it nave been if the prin@e of Wales had never gone to Tranby Croft, but to magnify his error of judgment into a crime of the deep- est dye is contrary to common sense as well as justice, and will soon lead to & reactiou in his favor. ‘The outburst will do good if it opens the oyaos of the fast set, which of late has been lording it over Enelish society, to the preci- pice on the brink of which they have been standing. In that st there are some Amer- feans who cortainly know better than the people among who they have taken up their abode. All ulike are in danger of bemg swept away by that hurricone which has long been gathering in the air, and which a mere trifle, another card party or now divorce case, may ause to burst with a violence for which few sopared. Many signs indicate that tho days of grace for these people are nearly run out. MEMBER OF PARLIAME CROWDING THEM FAST, Another “High Life" Drama in Which Wales 18 Intores [Copurtaht 1891 by James Gordon Bennets.) Loxpoy, June 15, —[New York Herald Cuble.—Special to Tue Bre.|—The sluice gates arc opon and scandal after scandal will rush through them, The chief person in the Jatest drama in high life s the vrince of Wales. . It is said that in spito of all his efforts, and his influence in social life is tre- mendous, ho will soon be responsivle for an action for divorco to be brought by Lord Brooke, uriously enough the rdon Cumming casc was the last straw that broko Lord Brooke's patient back. You already know that it is an open secret that Lady Brooke is belleved to have been the first-per- s0n to tell the story of the card scandal. You ulso know who is belioved to have told her. She reported it to Lady Norries. Tho talic gradually reached the eavs of Lovd Brooke, who grow wild. He had put up with a_good deal aund determined to be cuckold no longer, but he has mot quite managed to get out of tho hands of the princo's closest friends, nono of whom pity Brooke, who is not liked. Ho is the oldest son of the earl of Warrick, owner of the handsome castlo in Bngland one of the great show places. He is an uncouth follow, quite the oppasite of his wifo, also has plenty of style ana dash. Her history would make interesting reading for porsons who have forsaken the ways of the world, because sho and the prince becimo “bosom friends, Lady Brooke and Lord Charles Beresford run in couples. Beresford haa a wife of his owp. Lady Beresford is dark and handsome and so fond of society. ‘This scandal will do the princs of Wales far more hari than the Gordon Cumiuning case. Isaw the princo of Wales at Ascot this weelk @ he looked decidedly down on his luck. He aid not movo about among bis friends as he generally does, but stuck close to his seat. The royal party wis not cheored near as much as usual, and tho general feeling of popular displeasuro was quite ovident. Of course this will probably wear off, unless the divorce gase I mention i3 pressod to an 1ssuo, Snhopkeepers and the hotels of Londou are complaining of the small number of Amer- cans here this season. Last winter's finan- cinl panic kept English monoy at home and the peoplo made fow purchases outside of ab- solute necessities. Naturully the Awmerioans were looked forward to to supply the dofl. clency, but they have so far failed to m falizo, Although the seas thore are far loss peoplo bere than st year of the previous year.

Loxnoy, June r William Gordon Cumming and his bride received a royal wel- come upon their arrival at Forres, Scotland, near which the baronet’s estate s situated, The inhabitants of Forres and its neighbor- hood gathered from many miles around in order to show their sympathy with the owner of Altyre. An nddress of welcome was pre- sented to them with congratulations. A formal address of welcome, neatly en- grossed aund signed by the provost of Forres, the local magistrates and the members of tue municipal council, was presented to Sir Will- fam Gordon Cumming after the provost had voiced the welcome which Forres extended to the bride aud bridegroom. The .address in substance declared that the inhabitants of Forres had heard with lively satisfaction of the celebration of Sir William Gordon Cumming’s marriage to Miss Florence Gar- ner of New York and welcomed him and his bride to Forres and to Altyre. In order to present the address and 4o honor to the bar- onet the provost and the entire municipal council proceeaed in a body to the railroad station and there met the hapny couple, The provost was avrayed in the full robes of oftica and gathered avout the depot were soveral thousands of people, who enthusiastically cheored the party botnd for Altyre. The party consisted in addition to the bride and groom of Lady Middleton, sister of Sir Willism Gordon Cumming, who with Lord Middieton and other friends have not by a single action in any way shown that they be- lieve in Sir Willinn's gutlt. After the provost had presented the ad- dress of welcome Sir William roplied, saying that it was his duty and vesides his privilege to roside there among his brother Scotchmen, who had shown such kindness to him. In the midst of rousing cheers tho hovses were then unhitched from Sie William Gor- don Cumming's carriage and the vehicle con- taining the bridal pair was deawn to Altyre by the wilaly enthusiastic clansmen — of Forres. Food Scarce and High in Peru. PaxaM, June 13.—The vresident of Peru has issued o decree ndmitting free of duty into the republic the following articles: Live sheep and cattle, dried meats, salt beef, smoked or pickled fish, wheat and corn, potatoes and all other vegetables, eggs, cheese, chestnuts, peas, beans, rice, grape seed, herbs and spices, and has decreed an export duty of 20 soles, silver, per head on cattle exported and 2 soles per head on sheep oxported. This action, as aunounced in the decree, 18 in consequence of the Scarcity and consequent high price of food in Poru caused by the floods that have followed the heayy rains throughout the country and by the enormous demands for ail forms of food caused by the war in Chili. The export of provisions from Peru to the armies of the in- surgents along the coast of Chili has so re- duced the stock of Lour and meat that specu- lators have taken advantage of the situation and advunced the price of beef to 40 cents per pound in the Lima and Callao depart- mouts, where flour and bread are held at similar prices.

Fulkerson of the Silver towel com- pany stepped by mistako into a vat of boiling grease. The flest of both legs from the knees down was cooked away, Tho only method of repairing the damage was by grafting of skin from other human beings upon the injurea members. One hundred and sixty persons, Oddfellows und Kunights of Pythis, of which organizations Fulkerson was a member, con- tributed portions of their anatomy to be used in pieciug up Mr. Fulkerson. The grafts were about a thousand in number and in the majority of cuses wore successful. Fulkerson wus out today enjoyiug tho use of both limbs. P ol THE WEATHER FORECAST.

Wo have had no real spring sunshine yot and women still cling to their serges, waterproofs, ulstors and um- brellas, Asido from the hittle burst of indignation against England for her supposed, treaty with King Humbert to dofend the Italian coasts in case of war, which, if true, would make the “perfidious Albion”? a part and parcel of the triple, or rather quadruple alli: ance, the great feature of the Parisian news- papers has been the great Loudon baccavat trial. Al the fashionable papers have de- voted column after column to the intricacies to the coup dletrois and the possibility of poussette, but the general conclusion they almost all arrive at is a violent condemnation of the prince of Wales. For several aays thero has been quite an uproar of excitement about the coming prose- cution of M: de Lesseps, and this is now the sensition of the hour. When the Suez canal was accomplished M. de Lesseps was called “Le Grand Francals” and swce the ship- wreck of the Panama his name is covered with maledictions. M. de Lessens was apprised of the intended process by a news- paper reporter who went to interview him. The reporter was shown intoa room where Monsieur end Mme. do Lesseps were seated sipping thejr coffee. *'Phe process has been decided upon and M. Prinet has been designated to take chargo of it,” observed the repotter. Mme de Lesseps turned pale and exclaimed, “How could you have been so thoughtless as tohavein this cruel pourpoint manner shocked my husband, who is ill and very weak, with such terrible news.” M'de Lesseps w.o looked very much broken down said. “Cest invraisemblable' Je ne sair rien de taut reela ot Je devrais etre ie premicr informe ai cetait vrai, On na rien a mo rearocher les comptes sant la pour prouver la correction de ma condute on doit se tromper tinest pas possible que Je sofs poursuivi.” Mme. de Lesseps then arose and witha clecr but tremulous voice said: “Les Braits qu'on fait courir sont indignes. le est impossiblo qu'ils ne soient pes paux. Je sais bien que tous ceuxe qui ont perdu de Lfargent Jans le Panama nous accusent dy avoir fait fortune et que beaucoup oat porte des plaintes cantre M. de Lesseps.

[Copuright 1591 by James Gordon Rennett, 1 Paws, June 18, —[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bre|—When M. Camille Fiammarion, the famous astronomer of Juvinsy, read the ideas of L. Abbe Fortin in respect to the effects of the sun spots upon the weather he seemed surprised. He was found on his knees in front of & number of thermometers, tho bulbs of which were cov- ered over with various colors, to juage the offects of heat on colors, He held in his nand & hook which was full of calculations he had made for days past. Ho was usked what ho thought of Fortin's theories, He said : “*He speaks according to the 1deas of Sucel, who wrote over two bundrod years ago upon the magnetic effect of the suw’s rays. Ho thought to establish @ .connection botween the solar spots and the varlation of the temperature on he face of the earth. The coloration has been ascertained with a certainty as regurds the terrestial magnetic offect. Every oleven years there is an aver- age maximum of the spots on the sun. Every cleven yoars there is & maximum iu the vari ations of the dirunal temperature in the ter- restrial maximum. The year 1833 showed the last maximum and the year 1880 showed i It reca) the last minimum. This colorfition between the flactuation of solar activity g the mag- netic terrestrial manifestation {8 Incontest- able. The moment has arri¥ed’'when we must seek the relations which inust exist be- tween it and meteorology. Hithevto no seri- ous knowledze has ‘been obtained. As for the coincidence botween the sun spots and the cycione, 1t is pure guess work. Fortin has shown proof of a &reat deal of naivette in stating that the problem has been solved. Ho has been content with moro or less vague changes like those persons who sea a chango by the face of-the moon. Accordiny to him, when a spot arrived at a certain point on the solar disc, wo may cxpect a storm five or six days later. 1t is easy to show that such is not the case. The tabular list fn my work on vopular astronomy since 1826 shows that be- tween the last maximum and mimimam thers is from 1.55 to 1.160. There would thus be twenty times more storms in 1884 than 1S40, Had storms been deperdent upon the solar spots, according to this, in 1878 we ought not have had any storms, yet that year storms were the worst. As for seoking whether the meridian of Paris plays any part in the reception of the solar effects on the surface of the earth, tho idea is ludicrous. Remember the earth is 108 times less than the sun, its surface intercepts but balf a mil- lionth part of the total effulgence thrown into space. The earth from the sun is aa un- perceptible point, without significance. It is distant 214 timos the diameter of the sun. As for the position of the spots on the sun, we do not know the true surface. We know of the surface merely ns envoloped in a fog, known as photosphere. You cannot, there- fore, tell if spots are on ths surface or ex- terior. ‘That we sec it is pure conjocture. As tostorms forming betwaen the earth and the photosphere, the only way to judge this would be by a series of careful photographs of the sun and then to compare the photo- graphs with the terrestrial meteorology. “Then one might arrive at a knowledge.of the existent state of things,” potias’ss (01 BEATRICE PUBLIC BUILDING.

Site Adverse Amecrican Criticism of the Society of St, Raphuael Resented. BEnuiy, June 13.—Thoke g (o disguising the fact that the strong ' American criticisms of the Societyl iphol are deeply resented by the Ro: 5 the German empire, ‘Herr'Cahensly, the member of the Prussian_digt, who has long taken great interest in the Guestion of Catho- lic emigration to Amerioa, #nd who 1s gen- eral secretary and controlliug mind of the Society of St. Raphael, was mterviewd toduy by a Associated press reporter upon the sub- ject of these adverse eriticisms. Herr Cahensly sald during his gouversation that the Society of St. Raphuel does not pursue any special German policy, but that, on the contrary, it is composed of prominent Roman Catholics who belong to miuy of the princi- pal nations of Europe. Herr Caheusly added: The onlyaim of our society is to_ protect emigrants, not Cath- olics alone, though naturally they are our principal care, but any Protestant or Jew ap- plying to us or our agentsiare equally cared for. Itis truethat among other things we asked the pope that so far as. possible the American bishops appointel shonld belong to the nationality composing the majority of Catholics residing in any particular diocese, it isa well known fact that the Irish in America obtain all the bishioprics possible for themselves, as they did- ig the case of tho archbishopric of Milwaukee, when, with the assistance of Archbistiop Corrigan, thoy tried to defeat the election of a ({erman. “We do not wish to interfere with the con- duct of the Catholic church in America, nor do we wish to interfere in American politics. All we desire is to have the Genman, the Slav, the Italian and the Frenchman under the care of a priest of his own nationality wherever this is possible. This will not pre- vent him from being a German citizen if he remains true to the faith instead of becomng. the puppet of unarchists and socialists who are unable to speak to him in his own tongue. “When I was in Rome the cardinal arct bishop of Vienna called my attention to tne danger threatening in _this direction.

I only know what responsible Russians say." What do they say? “That Bulgarians are ingrates. Russ poured her best blood and spent vast treas- ures to free Christian Bulgaria from Moham- medan Turks, but Garia knew what Rus- sia’s ambitions and plaus were for the future, and knowing them accepted these sacrifices. Now she stands in Rnssia’s way and acts against her interests with her enemies,” T know that is how they talk,” ne said with emotion. “Russian statesmen shave come to me saying that Russia created Bul- garia and that we must suomit to her or be crushed out of existence. Kuowing this we watch anxiously the signsof war, but we are not afraid. There will be no fighting -this year.. Russia will no longor be contend with the possessioh of Constantinople. It is a secondary question. There is not a turn nor a twist of this intrigue that I have not eitber figured in myself or watched in de- detail; When Russia gets Dardanelloss she will sieep ull the Balkan nations iato her ewpite and then begin the conquest of Europe. Make no mistake about Bulgaria’s position. Russia and Monte- negro or working for Russia. Bulgaria for Bulgarians, is our idea. It grows every day. Premier Stambouloff is stronger than ever. If he should be killed there are a dozen other Stambouloffs ready to take his place We are all grateful to Russis. We acknowl- “edged that tho -us- and -our| prosperity today onot to the ezar, but we want to be left alone. When tho Russiaus came o tree us they were astonished to find that our peasants wore all petty proprietors and enormously superior in intelligent educa- tion and resources to the slavish, stupid, Moujiks. When war was over Russians officered und organized our army. The whole arrangement showed the object of the orgunization. Our army was divided nto three corps, directed exclusively by Russians, Russia couid not nuye troops in Bulgaria without provoking Europe. The plan was to wait until it w prepared for war.and then strike for Cop- stantinople with the three Bulgarian army corps. 1do not deny that there may be sorie truth in Russia's claim that ‘a great empire like her's is entitled to a great and complete sea outlet for commerce, but Bulgaria does not wish o be used as & mere weapon in a war that can do ber no good and in which she might lose independence. When Priuce Alexander took the throue of Balgaria he was the czar's candidate, but the present czar seemed to take a violent dislike to him. We have never been able to solve the mystery. “There must have been some family reason. "Thio only reuson given for the sudden opposi tion to Prince Alexunder was that he be- wrayed the Russian policy to England when Bulgaria declined to enter into a new kind of slavery to Russian policy. Servia egged it on until Milun declared war on Servia, which was in the hands of Russia. If she conquored we would be completely at the czar's mercy. In that moment of supreme danger the the czar ordered our genorals, colonels and other superior officers, who are all Russiaus, to withdraw into Russia at once. -This.left us practically with an army contamning no officers except cap- tains and lieutenants, Our fighting force was demoralized, but we reorgauized and finally manuged, to thrash Servis, What does Russia want of ust The ex-minister who sounded Stambouloff last year said Prince Fordinand would be recognized if Russia was given supreme command of the army and the right 1o occupy the harbor of Burgas, which 1s the gate of Bulgaria and the key to Constantinople. Stamoouloff told him that would be giving up Bulgdrin's freedom and theve was not a Gypsy in the country so low as to sign such a treaty. Russia will not move this year. She is building ships that will uot be completed until next year or 1503, The change in mus- kets and ammunition has also delayed her. She hasnot yet made a satisfactory com: bination in the Balkuns. She is working ow to get Montinegro aud Servia together, 1des shie {8 not too sure of France, and the French' know that if once Russia conquers the orient. ®rench prestige, influence and comaerce therdayill dieund France would lose in the end.” code MR Experimenting with Lightning. MoxineaL, June 13.—The observatory of the McGill university here has been conduct- ing some yery interesting experiments prep- aratory to getting into shape to be connected with the astronomer royal at Greenwleh so as to determine the exact longitude of Mon- treal and other. points on the Atlantic sea bourd In ordor to work out their caiculations it was necessury for them to determine the exact time It took for a telegraphic signal to cross the Atlantic. Last Sunday Me- Gill observatory was counccted over the Canadian Pacific railway with the commercial cable station at Canso.

When this was done o duplex circuit was arranged on both land and sea between the observatory at Montreal and the Commercial cable company’s station at Waterville, Ireland. A chronograph was attached at this end of the circuit and the ph signal that was sent from Metill vatory to Canso, across the ocean and back again, camo back to the point from chronograph. One hundred and twenty sig- nals were sent through the round eircuit of 8,000 miles of wire and cable, and the av- crago time of trunsmission,. from the timo that the signat loft MeGill observatory until 1y returned, proved to be one second and five hundrodths. The whole number ranged be- tween the narrow limits of one second and one und one-tenth seconds, The tests ave to be continued next Sunday. SAILED FOR EUROPE, Mes.

G., governor of the Bahamas, ar- rived in New York yesterdag on his way to Great Britain. Ho ana Lady Shea went to the Park Avenue hotel and sailed this morn- ing for Scotland on the Anchor lne steam- sip Circassia. Sir Ambrose's record asgovernor of the Bahamas promises to be historical by reason of the remarkable aevelopment of the islands dueto his sagacity. When ho went there threo years ago he found the inhabitants, who were making a living by fruit and sponge culture, doing their best to extirpate a fibrous plant which overran the land. The governor recognized in the tall, healthy, vigorous weed on which the natives wers muking a vain fight, burning v down only to have it revive, a remarkably fine svecimen of the “'sisal grass,” whose cultivation in an inferior quality in Mexico for use in rope making, tad built up lurge fortuncs 1 their countzy, After an investigation of the busi- ness in Mexico Sir Ambrose proceeded to teach the people of the Bubamas that they had been abusing their best friend, and the cuitivation und dressing by muchinery of sisal was establishea, with a governimnent bounty of a cent a pound_for exportation, to reman in effect until 1815, The Bahama plant is not be known to the commercial world us sisal, but us *Babama fibre.” 1t is on the frea list of the United States and in this country us well us Great Britain a large market is expected with con- fidence. Sir Ambrose Shea yestorday said: “The Bahamas are jumping, Thero will be cables from the Babamas to Florida within the year, Do I think that will be regarded as o promotor of annexation! Well, wo ure an- nexed to the United states all but politically. There is more American business in_tha Ba- hamas than any other,aud wo are very glad to soe Americans. This Bubiama fibro—it is too %00d to be called sisal—is o very suerior article to that of the kind in Mexico. It makes an excellent rope, and it is believed it will go intu fabrics, the taread is so fine. To show you the value of the fibre by a shrewd businéss man, I may tell you that Jamos Chamberlain,'after six months' careful ex- amination, bas taken 20,000 acres of land and Lis two 5015 are out there now taking charge of the estate, I douw't care to sell very much more land. Where before thare was no Ku- ropean capital invested in tne Bahamas there are now first class men like Mr, Chumberiuin comiug inand giving an impetus to the fibro industry, We shall bogin to export the fibre next year. It takes four years to come to maturity, but after It is in hurvest condition you can get leaves from the samo plant for twelve or fourteen years without renewal of auy kind. Itisa very fine plant, a little of the cactus order, Tho leaves which contuin the fibre are from five to six feot long." ““What is the price of the fibro growing lond ! asked tho report *It has advanced from §1.25 to #4 an acre Lwould not advise any one to o to the Bahamas to take less than a thousand ucres You get half u ton of fibre from an acre.” “Would yon adyiso young Americans to go to the Bahamas and bocomo fibre farmers “*What [ say to every ane who proposes to coter on the cultivation is, come and culti- vato on tho spot.

Allowing that tho figures are accurat, the fact remains that the high price of bread presses beavily upon the working classes, who, while feeling the pinch, fail to under- stand the arguments of the minister that a temporury abolition of the tariff would uot relieve the existing distress, “The declarations of Chancellor Von Caprivi that the crops in Germuny arc in better con- dition than is generally supposed have been contradicted by relluolo reports from soveral quarters of the ompire recelved by telegraph today. L'hese reports are to the effect thatin western Prussia severe cold weathor and night frosts during the current weck have ruined the crops.

The emperor,it has long been known, entertuins no warm feeling toward the prince of Wales, but the papers generally rofrain from barsh criticism on the conduct of the heir apparent to the kinglish throne, The Klein Journal, however, goes so far in alluding to the relutions of the princess of Wales toward her husvand 2s to say that she is neglected for women of the demi-monde and finds ner sole consolution in the respect with which the English people surround ner, The suit for libel now being tried at Bochum continues to excite the country, ‘The prosecution has askeid the Bsson tribunal to sentence Editor Fuscangel to two ,ears and Lunemann to one year's imprisonment respectively for accusing Here Buare, dis orof the Bochum iron works and the friend and financial advisor of Priuce Bis- marck, with falsifying his incomes for the purpose of escaping the incomo tax.
