LONDOn, June I.--The prince of Wales was not present this morning when the court trying the baccarat scandal case was convened. The lord chief justice had hard- ly taken his sent when Gen. Owen Williams stepped to the front of the bench and said, his face pale and his voice husky: "My lord, I have to ask your protection. Yes- terday eir Edward Clarke thought prop- er-" Here Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke sprang to his feet and, inter upting Gen. Williams, exclaimed: "I ask your lordship to interfere and that Gen. Williams should not be allowed to make a statement, as he has not the privilege of doing so." To this Gen. Williams hotly replied: "I was accused of an abominable charge." Hlere the lord chief justice interfered, say- ing: "I do not remember the expression, but I not think you can be allowed to speak." Gen. Williams persisted in being heard and remarked angrily: "We were accused of saorificing an innocent man. This statement was made without any evi- dence being brought forward for its justiti- cation." Lord Coleridge interrupted the general, remarking with considerable warmth: "I eannothear any statement from you," and immediately commenced his summing up, while Gin. Williams retired frowning and greatly discontented to his seat. Lord Coleridge called the attention of the jury to one particular observation which was malde in behalf of the plaintiff in the course of the trial. In was to the effect that there was more in the case than appeared on the surface. Against this the lord chief justice remarked: "I moat em- phatically protest that the jury has nothing to do with things that are not on the sn•t i,ee. You have to confine yourself to the single issue and what you heard and what has been proved during the trial." The chief justice said that if the ju'y found that the defendants had spoken the truth their verdict should be for the defend- ants, but .f the jury thought the charges they made were not true and that Sir Will- iam Gordon Cumming did not do anything wrong while playing baccarat at Tranby Croft in Srptember last th:,n their verdict must be for the plaintiff. Continuing, the chief justice analyzed at length the evi- dence given by the plaintiff, which evidence, ie said, is well worthy of cousideration. When the chief justice defined the law of libel as different trom the law of slander, and when he gave special instructio is in regard to the amount of damage, which thu jury should, if they so desired. assess in the event they found for the plaintiff, it was considered that Lord Coleridge's instruc- tions decidedly favored Sir Wi. Gordon Cumming. IBut when the chief justice analyzed the evidence of defendants and that of Gen. Williams, the prince of Wales and Lord Coventry, it was judged that this was 'n effect an endorsement of their evi- dence. In this connection Lord Coleridge said Cumming did not come there to make a fortune and that his character would be sulicieutlv cleared by the jury awarding him, should the evidence warrant it, a small amount of damages. Lord Coleridge also described at length the high position and brave career of Sir Wi. Gordon Cumming, saying the latter went to Tranby Croft as an honored guest, and "if I might be permitted to say. as a sort of prize guest of whom a hostess might be proud.' Referring to the prince of Wales' conneo- tion with the case. Lord Coleridge said: "People may say what they like, but they are all very much pleased to have snou guests as the prince of Wales, Lord Coven- try, and Lord T'['him and Lord That in their house. [Laughter.] Then, as to the posi- tion of the prince of Wales, and as to the desire for secrecy manifested by the party at Tranby Croft, was it not natural that with such monarchial institutions as ours such a wish should have existed? It mumt be remembered that such incidents were brought before a hard judging world,--nt before the royal and eubserviont world of Tudors. but before the world whose sense and judgment had to be consulted. Surely it was not to be said against a man that, under the circumstances, he was anx- ious to keep the scandal quiet." While admitting the improbability of a man of tir William Gordon Cumming's position and wealth lowering himself to cheat, and to cheat a friend, and he the prince of Wales, too, Lord Coleridge made u strong point against the plaintiff in call- ing the jury's attention to his failure to face his aecusers. Lord Coleridge dwelt at length upon this r oint, his remarks not be- ing In favor of pllintiff. 'The audience, especially fashionably dressed ladies in the galleries, paid but little attention to the siumming up of th charge of the lord chief justice. On the other hand, Cumming and all the defend- ants paid undivided attention to every wo d uttered by the lorA chief justice. When the case was finally given to the jury everybody evidenutly seemed relirved. From the time the jury ret ired to deliberate upon the verdict until they returned to the court room only fifteen minutes elapsed. showing apparently that thley were of one opinion as to the m.-rits of the case. When the clerk of the court auddenlt announced that the jury was rendy to report Ihere was a mnovement of eurprise through. out the audience, the short absence of the jury being regarded ans decidedly nunavor- able to plaintiff. Everybody lmay Ib said to have been in it breaOthlosr state when the jury entered the box., looking rather fright- ened and very nervous. 'the annollleCtnlllt of a verdict for defendn:lts wai rcrceived with a slight hiristng from tihe grileri'Se, where idier wherlu conrlregat.ed. nrid iuini the part of somei of those in tile body of the court who wesre inl syiImpathy with the plaintiff. Court ,flrcors had some dilet!ulty in suppressling these marks of, iprlrticirrlly feminine, disaplprobation of the verdict. 'they were, however, everntually eutnpressed and ithe court adjourneld. When the verdict was trnnounercel t4ir William t(ordon unnrtming, to all alpealr- anees, was the most unmoveLd lllan in the court. 11o folded his armsl and looked straight at the jury, but otherwis' did inot ,ovee a nmuscle, his facer not s rowing tile slightest trace of ellmotionl. Lrd Ilddl le- ton. his blood relative, however. fluehred osarlet and then turnled very pale. tMrs. Arthur Wilson antd M s. Lycett (:hoen were cvide:tlvy hadly frightrened wlhen they lenrd thie biases which igrelted the verdi't. T'lh twol lndiea sitood for several ornutes whisperliug earnestly withl their counsol indi thell. accomi)panied yI thelr leslpeotive hube- hanrds, paiseld slowly out of coulrt with nowed heads, nobody spreaking to them and to all appeI)ilanceIs otrjectis of Iollech dislike. "'lThe Wdsaons wile" II- if he inalglr sprread from the coulr roome to lits crowd oultaltr and from there ill ever inrll•on, l and it was again made evident as tire defendauts drove away, by the chilling manner in whtoh they were regarded, that popular sympathy was with the plaintiff,. in the meanwhile how different was the greeting extended to the defeated litigant, to the unsuccessful plaintiff, Sir William Gordon Cumming. Whledefendantswere, with oinking hearts, leaving the court room, he remained calmly seated in his usual place. When the Wilsons had disappeared ihe baronet stood up and gratefully, smil- ingly shook hands with Sir idward Clarke end with others who pressed around him with many cheering words of sympathy for the man whose career was thus blighted be- yond all hope. 'Then, accompanied by Lord Middleton, he walked out of court by a pri- vate exit, followed by the pitying glances of the ladies who still remained in the gal. leries, anxious to have a last glimpse of the victim of Tranby Croft baccarat playing. As the proud-looking baronet and Lord tMiddleton left the court there was another instance of the different manner in which the general public looked upon the victorious defendants and upon the defeated plaintiff. Sir William and Lord Middleton were no sooner recog- nized its they entered the latter's carriage than they were loudly, repeatedly, and en- thusiastzcally cheered by the dense, excited crowds. The effect of the verdict on military elr- elsa, it is generally understood, is that Sir William Gordon Cumming, lieutenant col- onel of Soutt's fusilier guards, will be promptly cashiered from the army and just as quickly expelled from the Marlborough club, nGuards club, Turf club, and any other social organizations to which he may be- lone. The summing up of the lord chief justice during the afternoon was nndoubt- elly more strongly against Sir William Gordon' Cumming than were the remarks made during the morning. The afternoon utterances of Lord Coleridge may be said to have amounted practically to inatluctions to find a verdict against plaintiff. AFTER THE VERDICT. The Clubs in a Quandary-Dlvision of Sympathy. LoNDON, June 9.-Sir William Gordon unmmiing held a consultation with Sir Ed- ward (Clarke, Mr. Gill and his solicitor, in the cuurse of the evening, before proceed- ing home, where he denied himself to all comers. To-night the members of the Turf club seemed undecided how to act. Personally, Cumming is liked, and many are averse to his expulsion. The division of public feeling upon the verdict will be largely of a class division, the aristocratic circle siding with the decision, while the mass of the public sympathizewith Cumming and accuse the judge of gross partiality. The hissing with which the gallery of the court saluted the ver diet was repeated out- side by the excited crowd thlonging the corridors. Insulting allusions were ad- dressed to defendants, Mr. Lewis. their sol- icitor, had to fly for safety to an adjacent chancery coul r, where he eseaped by c;imb- lug over the bench. Sir Edwand Clarke's frierds fear that the increased diS.inction that he hae acquired in the trial will not commend him to the court. T'he line he took in his allusions to the prince of Wales is attended with considerable social rick. A lobby report credits certain ministers with telling Sir Edward that he went too far in his comments upon the prince of \Vales. The political issues of the affair promise speedy development. A group of radicals in the house of commons have decided to devise a dis- cusnsion with special reference to the prince of Wales by motions upon the army esti- mntes. An indication of how the religious public view the scandal is given in a speech wade at a meeting of Metlouist ministers tonight on the suppression of gambling. Mr. Moultan, president of the Wesleyan conference, declared that gambling per- nented all classes. and it was time the evil was confronted, else it would ruin society. Prioe Hughes was cheered to tihe echo on saying that he took the first opportunity to tiank btr Edward Clarke for his fearless and manly speech. It was ground for bit- ter regret that the heir to the throne should be given to one of the worst forms of gam- bling. Lyling In btale. OrrTAWA, June 6.-The body of Sir John Macdonald now lies in state in the s'enate chamber. At five a. m. private funeral services were conducted at Ernescliffe. An hour later the remains were borne to the senate chamber by six members of the dominion police. Yix carriages in which were seated relatives aind personal friendeof deceased followed. At 10 o'olook the senate doors were thrown open. Lord Stanley. accompanied by his staff, was the first to enter. Next came memnbers of the cabinet, senators and members of parliament. A thousand ladies paid their last tribute to the late premier. The house last night, after touching addresses being made by members of both sides, adjourned until June 16. Lightning Played Near tie Emperor. IEnLTN, June 9.-A strange and fatal as- eident occurred at Temols-hof this morn- ing in the presence of the emperor. The grenadiers were being drilled by the em- peror. While the mon were being put through their exercises a vivid flash of lightning hurled a number of them to the ground. The officer in command, Capt. von Qusnat, and three soldiers were knocked insensible. Two of the latter died almost immediately afterwards and the captain and another soldier were danueronsly in- jured. A horse was also killed. It is sup- posed that the rifle barrels and bayonets of the soldiers attracted the electricity which caused such fatal results. Forest Fires in Canada. Sr. JogN, N. F., June 9.-Forest fires are raging in the woods opposite Campbellton, on the north shore, and people of that town are alarmed. The whole grape peninsula, over 100 miles in length, is threatened, and thie village of Neville is in danger. Farm- ers have lost their crope, fences and out- buildings and nothing but rain will pre- vent enetrral disaster. The loss is already voy vgreat. Firrs are sweoping away the woods between Penobsquis and Annagance, dest oying a great deal of valuable timber. Forest ires are raginmg along the Grand Siles bransch of the Canadian Paciflo rail way north of Three Rivers. Men are out in la(rge numbers trying to save endangered p:operty. Costly (Couess'ionu.

COLOMBIA AND COLUMBIA The Little Sister in the South Will Make a Good Big Display at Chicago. One of the Many Interesting Feat- ures Promised for the World's Fair. The Confirmation of Maxwell Still Hang- Ing Sire-TIhe California Exhibit- Will Visit the Site. BoooTA, Colombia, June 9.-The exhibit which the South American republic of Col- ombia will make at the World's fair will be a very notable and interesting one. Col- ombia's World's fair building will be mod- eled after her national capitol at Bogota. The exterior will be in jmitation of sand- stone, of which it is built, while the interior will be partitioned and celinged through- out with the precious hardwoods of the country. comprising more than a hundred varieties, both rough and polished: an exhibition in wood alone, a parallel to which has never been presented by any other country in the world. The interior will be filled with the products of the country-coffee, cocoa, rub- ber, ivory, outs, wax, gams, fibers, etc.-- while the mineral exhibit will doubtless be the richest ever shown in the United Ststes. Within the building Indian women will be seen weaving the much appreciated Panama hat from fiber prepared on the spot, all hand work, yet stripping and' weaving the fiber in threads as fine as linen. An "Alparrgarteria" (manufac- tory of hemp sandals) will be seen in full operation, while the "prtate" (a fine palm fiber mat) will be turned out by the native hand loom manipulated by skillful workmen of the country. Ham- mock-makers will braid the beautiful grasses of Colombia into artistic work, all of which cannot fail to find appreciative purehasers, thus leading to a commerce in these useful and valuable articles. 'These latter exhibits will be made by private par- ties, but will have a place within the Co- lombian building, because they present an interesting and important feature of indus- tries so exclusively Colombian that her ex- hilsit would not be complete without them. Other exhibits by private parties will be made, the principal of which, and probably the most valuable and interesting, will be the recently discovered antiquities in solid gold, weighing an aggregate of forte-eight pounds, consisting of helmets. idols, birds, animals. ornaments, etc., valued at more than $30,(000. These objrcts are allcuriously and delicately hand wrought, the work of ieople who lived ages ago, but whose hii- tory is lost to the world. These antiquities were discovered buried in vaults or tombs drep down in the ground, saupp ied to have been the burial place of a kir•g or cacique. This exhibit will be under the direction of Lieut. Lomily. of the United States army. to whom great credit is due for bis successful ifforts in h:ivinrg divertel it to the United States, where, it is hoped, it may lind a rermanent place in the na- tional museum. MR. MAXWELL. His Case Still Undeelded-To Sell WVine In a lMssion. CHIoAoo, June 9.--Talk for and against the confirmation of Maxwell as chief of the horticultural bureau kept a couple of d:- rectors busy to-day. The California state commission advocate Maxwell's cause, and the gentleman himself entered the lists personally. The opposition was voiced principally by a repre- sentative of the Amerlcan association of nurserymen. The latter asserted that Maxwell represented wine and citrus fruit interests and implied that he was disposed to slight other departments of horticulture. Maxwell's fate, it is expected, will be settled to. morrow. The California state commission to-mor- row will lay before the ways and means committee their plans for a state exhibit. They wanted to construct a building simi- lar to the old mission and obtain the privi- lego of displaying and selling fruit, wines and other products of a perishable nature. They represented that they did not desire to enter into a lucrative business, hut simply to conduct a club which would pay the expenses of continually re- plenishing the display, The commission was Informed that the matter would have to be settled the same as the other privi- leges, by the payment of a percentage of re- ceipts for sales. The use of the state building was matter for the state commis- sioners. If they wished to run a restaurant it would have to come under the isles gov- erning other seach ptlvileges. The commus- siouers regarded this as a success for this mission. The soheme has, caused a great deal of comment in fair circles. "I should think," said President Palmer, "that the mixture of the religious feature and the liquor traffli would cause a great deal of commotion among church people. I an sure I should condemn it and I am not over sensitive on such inatters." Director General Davis said to-night that the following named lwreous would go abroad as members of the comulission in the interest of foreign exhibits: Ihu. Thomas W. Waller will be president., I. I'. Handy Hon. Carl Schurz, Ex-Senator IKus- tie, of Louis i 0na, and probably liou. liel- jnuton Butterworth. A sixth person, a Chicano man, will also be appointed. Chief Ives, of the art bureau, will also he senut abroad. To Look at the Nilo.

DruItttIA, June 9.-llefore the sub- commnlittle, investigating liardsley's affairs, to-day, Mark Davis, secretary and treas- urer of the Bradford mills, owned by him and itairdeley, testilied that from January, 188), to May, 1891, Bardsloy sent him $46,- 100 to be used in business. IHe had no roa- eon to unslpect that this money did not be. long to Ilardsley, as in throe years Ilardslay had given hitm i~722,000 for the same pur- pose. Charles Lawrence, ex-aesistant cashier of the Keystone bank, testified that he knew nothing of lardeley's transantions with the bank or due bills for $t50,000 given him.

Not a word has been heard from Da- via since he was here sometime ago, and, owing to the scarciry of ready money and the lack of interest among a few of the leading business men it is not by any means sure that the matter of a r:iload to Castle will not be deferred until another year. At Castle it is reported very dull, and many maintain that the camp cannot pros- per and the mines he worked without cheaper transportation. Itlocked by ulut and 31ud.

New YonrK, June 9.-The last circular l*- oued by the banking firm of Heonry Clews & (Co. says that Wall street has been some- lwhat disappointed during the past week at the non-cessation of the exports of gold. N rarly $7,000,000 of specie has been sent to Europe within the six days in the way of Src grlr exchange trananotions, which shows that there is still outstanding a foreign bal- ance against ui, and that European bank- ers prefer to have it settled in cash rather than to allow it to remain here earning in- terest. This disposition on the part of our foreign creditors is not remarkable oonnid- iring the good rates at which they can Just now employ their funds at home, and in view also of the fact that the great state banks are using all their influence to in- duce foreign hankers to keep their metallic reserves within ready reach. The amount of gold already received from the IUnited States would, under ordi- nary cihllrutanceq, amount to a glut whish would Induce a quick reflux of a good portion of that supply. But the cir- onumstaices at present affecting European finance are not "ordinary" ones. To say no,,thing of the lingering aftereffects of the So,uth American disasters-which still re- main it serious elerount of uncertainty-the relati',ns of Itussia to the continental and London money imarkets constitute a grave source of disturbance. ' he question is not so much whether the country is either able or likely to call fur more gold; for it seeems to be generally conceded that Ilunsiahas al- ready withdrawn nearly all her funds from foreign depositories, the point of anxiety is as to whether the czar's government will disburse the money in redemption of omatured loans. or it will allow the loans to run and keep the gold. Were the European money markets in a condition to admit of the negotiation of Ilunsia's proposed new loan, no doubt redemptions of the old loans would be irde thit would return a con- siderable amount of gold to Holland, France and (Germany; but the Itothechilds still lpostpone that operatiun, and Russia hals on hand so many ambitious schemes requiring large home expenditures that she is likely to prevent any reflux of gold across her boundasics, and in that case the continen- tIiban.ilr may suffer from scarcity of gold. Idoreove. )russia's outrageously inhuman treatinmet ol the Jews is producing such a deep resentment in the world's public o;I u;iion, that there is a liability of its beicomiun •i i mailtter of earnest diplomatic. protest, which moeanu in effect a new and sensitive -lemni t in the possibilities of war, Bieyond these oontingencies, the bad ipospects of the European harvests suggesot a certauity of England, France and Ger- many Ihaving to export a considerable amlount of gold for the purchase of cereals within immntediately approaching months. Under these circumstances, it seems rea- sonable to expect that, so long as the hal- auce of trade with this country gives Eu- tclpe the option of drawing goll from us, thy oppro tunity will not be neglected. It is this disposition, and the fact that we have not yet fully liquidated our current floating ideobtedness to Europe, that ac- counts for the continued free export of 's ecie during the past week. It has very rarely lutppned that we have been sub- jected to so iriah pressure to liquidate our Inturinc foreig , debts in cash as is now Lnig experienced: and, with the rage for inmcreasinit banking reserves that now ex- ists ar,-ros the Atlantic, it is not easy to say wti• it Ihe drain may be stopped ,by the ees- sation f' an adverse balance of intos na- tional settlements. caution at this centre. It is true that the situation in London has shown consider- able iniptovement within the pratt week. The brtnk of England has gained 3,100,001. in gold, making i total increase for the last tlueo weeks of t2,Ol000,fO5, while the pro. prt onl of reserve to lirthbilties stands at the extraordinary tate of 44.35 per cent; and uin hr these circumstances the bank has naturally reduced its discount rate from 5 to 4 per cent. unt strong as is this state- went, our week's export of gold shows that theu bank is willing to still further augment its aceemulation of rcas. The only setisfaction we canl fiud under these extraordinary movements is in the nu- varryine rule that a wide swing of the pendutlutm in one direction is followed by one proportionately wide in the opposite. I he question is whether the change will come il time to prevent stringency in the New \'rk money nmarket. That question is not easily solve l: and we advise our friends to wait fr tile answer from events, rather than to jump to a conclusion. The situation suegeste hLop as well as caution. For while we have $0•0tlO)0,000 of metallic money drained off fromt our circulation, the lar.e special disbursements of the treasury last fall aud the creatious of new silver currency mors than cotlpensate for the loss. Aud, as might hare been expected, the in- flation of the circulation has caused money to flow to this city from thile interior inl libe:ral volume for some weeks past, whilst, judging from the continued high premium on New York exohangs at the Interior and at coast cities, there is more yet to colme. Still, conceding the probabilities to be in favor of all early end of exports of gold and of continued re- ceipts of ntluev from otllher cities, the lon- realization of the.se probabilities would pro- duce a disappointnU tt which mtight orit-. ously alteet tile monuey market find cause a free selling of tsecurities.

ular Dssatisfaction.

LONDOn, June I.--The prince of Waleswas not present this morning when thecourt trying the baccarat scandal case wasconvened. The lord chief justice had hard-ly taken his sent when Gen. Owen Williamsstepped to the front of the bench and said,his face pale and his voice husky: "Mylord, I have to ask your protection. Yes-terday eir Edward Clarke thought prop-er-"

Here Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarkesprang to his feet and, inter upting Gen.Williams, exclaimed: "I ask your lordshipto interfere and that Gen. Williams shouldnot be allowed to make a statement, as hehas not the privilege of doing so."

To this Gen. Williams hotly replied: "Iwas accused of an abominable charge."Hlere the lord chief justice interfered, say-ing: "I do not remember the expression,but I not think you can be allowed tospeak." Gen. Williams persisted in beingheard and remarked angrily: "We wereaccused of saorificing an innocent man.This statement was made without any evi-dence being brought forward for its justiti-cation."

Lord Coleridge interrupted the general,remarking with considerable warmth: "Ieannothear any statement from you," andimmediately commenced his summing up,while Gin. Williams retired frowning andgreatly discontented to his seat. LordColeridge called the attention of the jury toone particular observation which was maldein behalf of the plaintiff in the course ofthe trial. In was to the effect that therewas more in the case than appearedon the surface. Against this thelord chief justice remarked: "I moat em-phatically protest that the jury has nothingto do with things that are not on the sn•t

i,ee. You have to confine yourself to thesingle issue and what you heard and whathas been proved during the trial."

The chief justice said that if the ju'yfound that the defendants had spoken thetruth their verdict should be for the defend-ants, but .f the jury thought the chargesthey made were not true and that Sir Will-iam Gordon Cumming did not do anythingwrong while playing baccarat at TranbyCroft in Srptember last th:,n their verdictmust be for the plaintiff. Continuing, thechief justice analyzed at length the evi-dence given by the plaintiff, which evidence,ie said, is well worthy of cousideration.

When the chief justice defined the law oflibel as different trom the law of slander,and when he gave special instructio is inregard to the amount of damage, which thujury should, if they so desired. assess in theevent they found for the plaintiff, it wasconsidered that Lord Coleridge's instruc-tions decidedly favored Sir Wi. GordonCumming. IBut when the chief justiceanalyzed the evidence of defendants andthat of Gen. Williams, the prince of Walesand Lord Coventry, it was judged that thiswas 'n effect an endorsement of their evi-dence. In this connection Lord Coleridgesaid Cumming did not come there to makea fortune and that his character would besulicieutlv cleared by the jury awardinghim, should the evidence warrant it, asmall amount of damages. Lord Coleridgealso described at length the high positionand brave career of Sir Wi. GordonCumming, saying the latter went to TranbyCroft as an honored guest, and "if I mightbe permitted to say. as a sort of prize guestof whom a hostess might be proud.'

Referring to the prince of Wales' conneo-tion with the case. Lord Coleridge said:"People may say what they like, but theyare all very much pleased to have snouguests as the prince of Wales, Lord Coven-try, and Lord T'['him and Lord That in theirhouse. [Laughter.] Then, as to the posi-tion of the prince of Wales, and as to thedesire for secrecy manifested by the partyat Tranby Croft, was it not natural thatwith such monarchial institutions as ourssuch a wish should have existed? It mumtbe remembered that such incidents werebrought before a hard judging world,--ntbefore the royal and eubserviont world ofTudors. but before the world whose senseand judgment had to be consulted. Surelyit was not to be said against a man that,under the circumstances, he was anx-ious to keep the scandal quiet."

While admitting the improbability of aman of tir William Gordon Cumming'sposition and wealth lowering himself tocheat, and to cheat a friend, and he theprince of Wales, too, Lord Coleridge madeu strong point against the plaintiff in call-ing the jury's attention to his failure toface his aecusers. Lord Coleridge dwelt atlength upon this r oint, his remarks not be-ing In favor of pllintiff.'The audience, especially fashionably

dressed ladies in the galleries, paid butlittle attention to the siumming up of thcharge of the lord chief justice. On theother hand, Cumming and all the defend-ants paid undivided attention to everywo d uttered by the lorA chief justice.When the case was finally given to the juryeverybody evidenutly seemed relirved. Fromthe time the jury ret ired to deliberate uponthe verdict until they returned to thecourt room only fifteen minutes elapsed.showing apparently that thley were of oneopinion as to the m.-rits of the case. Whenthe clerk of the court auddenlt announcedthat the jury was rendy to reportIhere was a mnovement of eurprise through.out the audience, the short absence of thejury being regarded ans decidedly nunavor-able to plaintiff. Everybody lmay Ib saidto have been in it breaOthlosr state when thejury entered the box., looking rather fright-ened and very nervous. 'the annollleCtnllltof a verdict for defendn:lts wai rcrceivedwith a slight hiristng from tihe grileri'Se,where idier wherlu conrlregat.ed. nrid iuinithe part of somei of those in tile body of thecourt who wesre inl syiImpathy with theplaintiff.

William t(ordon unnrtming, to all alpealr-anees, was the most unmoveLd lllan in thecourt. 11o folded his armsl and lookedstraight at the jury, but otherwis' did inot

away, by the chilling manner in whtoh theywere regarded, that popular sympathy waswith the plaintiff,.

in the meanwhile how different was thegreeting extended to the defeated litigant,to the unsuccessful plaintiff, Sir WilliamGordon Cumming. Whledefendantswere,with oinking hearts, leaving the court room,he remained calmly seated in his usualplace. When the Wilsons had disappearedihe baronet stood up and gratefully, smil-ingly shook hands with Sir idward Clarkeend with others who pressed around himwith many cheering words of sympathy forthe man whose career was thus blighted be-yond all hope. 'Then, accompanied by LordMiddleton, he walked out of court by a pri-vate exit, followed by the pitying glancesof the ladies who still remained in the gal.leries, anxious to have a last glimpse of thevictim of Tranby Croft baccarat playing.As the proud-looking baronet and Lord

tMiddleton left the court there was anotherinstance of the different manner inwhich the general public lookedupon the victorious defendants andupon the defeated plaintiff. Sir Williamand Lord Middleton were no sooner recog-nized its they entered the latter's carriagethan they were loudly, repeatedly, and en-thusiastzcally cheered by the dense, excitedcrowds.

The effect of the verdict on military elr-elsa, it is generally understood, is that SirWilliam Gordon Cumming, lieutenant col-onel of Soutt's fusilier guards, will bepromptly cashiered from the army and justas quickly expelled from the Marlboroughclub, nGuards club, Turf club, and any othersocial organizations to which he may be-lone. The summing up of the lord chiefjustice during the afternoon was nndoubt-elly more strongly against Sir WilliamGordon' Cumming than were the remarksmade during the morning. The afternoonutterances of Lord Coleridge may be said tohave amounted practically to inatluctionsto find a verdict against plaintiff.

AFTER THE VERDICT.

The Clubs in a Quandary-Dlvision ofSympathy.

LoNDON, June 9.-Sir William Gordonunmmiing held a consultation with Sir Ed-

ward (Clarke, Mr. Gill and his solicitor, inthe cuurse of the evening, before proceed-ing home, where he denied himself to allcomers. To-night the members of theTurf club seemed undecided how to act.Personally, Cumming is liked, and manyare averse to his expulsion. The divisionof public feeling upon the verdict will belargely of a class division, the aristocraticcircle siding with the decision, while themass of the public sympathizewith Cummingand accuse the judge of gross partiality.The hissing with which the gallery of thecourt saluted the ver diet was repeated out-side by the excited crowd thlonging thecorridors. Insulting allusions were ad-dressed to defendants, Mr. Lewis. their sol-icitor, had to fly for safety to an adjacentchancery coul r, where he eseaped by c;imb-lug over the bench. Sir Edwand Clarke'sfrierds fear that the increased diS.inctionthat he hae acquired in the trial will notcommend him to the court. T'he line hetook in his allusions to the prince of Walesis attended with considerable social rick.A lobby report credits certain ministerswith telling Sir Edward that he went toofar in his comments upon the prince of\Vales. The political issues ofthe affair promise speedy development.A group of radicals in the houseof commons have decided to devise a dis-cusnsion with special reference to the princeof Wales by motions upon the army esti-mntes. An indication of how the religiouspublic view the scandal is given in a speechwade at a meeting of Metlouist ministerstonight on the suppression of gambling.Mr. Moultan, president of the Wesleyanconference, declared that gambling per-nented all classes. and it was time the evilwas confronted, else it would ruin society.

Prioe Hughes was cheered to tihe echo onsaying that he took the first opportunity totiank btr Edward Clarke for his fearlessand manly speech. It was ground for bit-ter regret that the heir to the throne shouldbe given to one of the worst forms of gam-bling.

Lyling In btale.OrrTAWA, June 6.-The body of Sir John

Macdonald now lies in state in the s'enatechamber. At five a. m. private funeralservices were conducted at Ernescliffe. Anhour later the remains were borne to thesenate chamber by six members of thedominion police. Yix carriages in whichwere seated relatives aind personal friendeofdeceased followed. At 10 o'olook the senatedoors were thrown open. Lord Stanley.accompanied by his staff, was the first toenter. Next came memnbers of the cabinet,senators and members of parliament. Athousand ladies paid their last tribute tothe late premier. The house last night,after touching addresses being made bymembers of both sides, adjourned untilJune 16.

Lightning Played Near tie Emperor.IEnLTN, June 9.-A strange and fatal as-

eident occurred at Temols-hof this morn-ing in the presence of the emperor. Thegrenadiers were being drilled by the em-peror. While the mon were being putthrough their exercises a vivid flash oflightning hurled a number of them to theground. The officer in command, Capt.von Qusnat, and three soldiers were knockedinsensible. Two of the latter died almostimmediately afterwards and the captainand another soldier were danueronsly in-jured. A horse was also killed. It is sup-posed that the rifle barrels and bayonets ofthe soldiers attracted the electricity whichcaused such fatal results.

Forest Fires in Canada.

Sr. JogN, N. F., June 9.-Forest fires areraging in the woods opposite Campbellton,on the north shore, and people of that townare alarmed. The whole grape peninsula,over 100 miles in length, is threatened, andthie village of Neville is in danger. Farm-ers have lost their crope, fences and out-buildings and nothing but rain will pre-vent enetrral disaster. The loss is alreadyvoy vgreat.

COLOMBIA AND COLUMBIAThe Little Sister in the South Will

Make a Good Big Displayat Chicago.

One of the Many Interesting Feat-ures Promised for the

World's Fair.

The Confirmation of Maxwell Still Hang-Ing Sire-TIhe California Exhibit-

Will Visit the Site.

BoooTA, Colombia, June 9.-The exhibitwhich the South American republic of Col-ombia will make at the World's fair will bea very notable and interesting one. Col-ombia's World's fair building will be mod-eled after her national capitol at Bogota.The exterior will be in jmitation of sand-stone, of which it is built, while the interiorwill be partitioned and celinged through-out with the precious hardwoods of thecountry. comprising more than ahundred varieties, both rough and

polished: an exhibition in wood alone,a parallel to which has neverbeen presented by any other country in theworld. The interior will be filled with theproducts of the country-coffee, cocoa, rub-ber, ivory, outs, wax, gams, fibers, etc.--while the mineral exhibit will doubtlessbe the richest ever shown in the UnitedStstes.

Within the building Indian women willbe seen weaving the much appreciatedPanama hat from fiber prepared on thespot, all hand work, yet stripping and'weaving the fiber in threads as fine aslinen. An "Alparrgarteria" (manufac-tory of hemp sandals) will be seenin full operation, while the "prtate"(a fine palm fiber mat) will be turnedout by the native hand loom manipulatedby skillful workmen of the country. Ham-mock-makers will braid the beautifulgrasses of Colombia into artistic work, allof which cannot fail to find appreciativepurehasers, thus leading to a commerce inthese useful and valuable articles. 'Theselatter exhibits will be made by private par-ties, but will have a place within the Co-lombian building, because they present aninteresting and important feature of indus-tries so exclusively Colombian that her ex-hilsit would not be complete without them.

Other exhibits by private parties will bemade, the principal of which, and probablythe most valuable and interesting, will bethe recently discovered antiquities in solidgold, weighing an aggregate of forte-eightpounds, consisting of helmets. idols, birds,animals. ornaments, etc., valued at morethan $30,(000. These objrcts are all curiouslyand delicately hand wrought, the work ofieople who lived ages ago, but whose hii-tory is lost to the world. These antiquitieswere discovered buried in vaults ortombs drep down in the ground, saupp iedto have been the burial place of a kir•gor cacique. This exhibit will be underthe direction of Lieut. Lomily. of the UnitedStates army. to whom great credit is duefor bis successful ifforts in h:ivinrg divertelit to the United States, where, it is hoped,it may lind a rermanent place in the na-tional museum.

MR. MAXWELL.

His Case Still Undeelded-To Sell WVineIn a lMssion.

CHIoAoo, June 9.--Talk for and againstthe confirmation of Maxwell as chief of thehorticultural bureau kept a couple of d:-rectors busy to-day. The California statecommission advocate Maxwell's cause,and the gentleman himself entered thelists personally. The opposition wasvoiced principally by a repre-sentative of the Amerlcan associationof nurserymen. The latter asserted thatMaxwell represented wine and citrus fruitinterests and implied that he was disposedto slight other departments of horticulture.Maxwell's fate, it is expected, will besettled to. morrow.

The California state commission to-mor-row will lay before the ways and meanscommittee their plans for a state exhibit.They wanted to construct a building simi-lar to the old mission and obtain the privi-lego of displaying and selling fruit, winesand other products of a perishable nature.They represented that they did not desireto enter into a lucrative business,hut simply to conduct a club whichwould pay the expenses of continually re-plenishing the display, The commissionwas Informed that the matter would haveto be settled the same as the other privi-leges, by the payment of a percentage of re-ceipts for sales. The use of the statebuilding was matter for the state commis-sioners. If they wished to run a restaurantit would have to come under the isles gov-erning other seach ptlvileges. The commus-siouers regarded this as a success for thismission. The soheme has, caused a greatdeal of comment in fair circles.

TITIEY I'ItFEIR THEII CASH.

Foreign BIanker, Would Rather Call inIltslaenes Than 1)ra Interest.

New YonrK, June 9.-The last circular l*-oued by the banking firm of Heonry Clews &

(Co. says that Wall street has been some-lwhat disappointed during the past week atthe non-cessation of the exports of gold.N rarly $7,000,000 of specie has been sent toEurope within the six days in the way ofSrc grlr exchange trananotions, which showsthat there is still outstanding a foreign bal-ance against ui, and that European bank-ers prefer to have it settled in cash ratherthan to allow it to remain here earning in-terest. This disposition on the part of ourforeign creditors is not remarkable oonnid-iring the good rates at which they can Justnow employ their funds at home, and inview also of the fact that the great statebanks are using all their influence to in-duce foreign hankers to keep their metallicreserves within ready reach.

The amount of gold already receivedfrom the IUnited States would, under ordi-nary cihllrutanceq, amount to a glutwhish would Induce a quick reflux of agood portion of that supply. But the cir-onumstaices at present affecting Europeanfinance are not "ordinary" ones. To sayno,,thing of the lingering aftereffects of theSo,uth American disasters-which still re-main it serious elerount of uncertainty-therelati',ns of Itussia to the continental andLondon money imarkets constitute a gravesource of disturbance. ' he question is notso much whether the country is either ableor likely to call fur more gold; for it seeemsto be generally conceded that Ilunsiahas al-ready withdrawn nearly all her funds fromforeign depositories, the point of anxiety isas to whether the czar's governmentwill disburse the money in redemption ofomatured loans. or it will allow the loans torun and keep the gold. Were the Europeanmoney markets in a condition to admit ofthe negotiation of Ilunsia's proposed newloan, no doubt redemptions of the old loanswould be irde thit would return a con-siderable amount of gold to Holland, Franceand (Germany; but the Itothechilds stilllpostpone that operatiun, and Russia hals onhand so many ambitious schemes requiringlarge home expenditures that she is likelyto prevent any reflux of gold across herboundasics, and in that case the continen-tIi ban.ilr may suffer from scarcity of gold.Idoreove. )russia's outrageously inhumantreatinmet ol the Jews is producing such adeep resentment in the world's publico;I u;iion, that there is a liability of itsbeicomiun •i i mailtter of earnest diplomatic.protest, which moeanu in effect a new andsensitive -lemni t in the possibilities ofwar, Bieyond these oontingencies, the badipospects of the European harvests suggesota certauity of England, France and Ger-many Ihaving to export a considerableamlount of gold for the purchase of cerealswithin immntediately approaching months.Under these circumstances, it seems rea-sonable to expect that, so long as the hal-auce of trade with this country gives Eu-tclpe the option of drawing goll from us,thy oppro tunity will not be neglected. Itis this disposition, and the fact that wehave not yet fully liquidated our currentfloating ideobtedness to Europe, that ac-counts for the continued free export of's ecie during the past week. It has veryrarely lutppned that we have been sub-jected to so iriah pressure to liquidate ourInturinc foreig , debts in cash as is nowLnig experienced: and, with the rage forinmcreasinit banking reserves that now ex-ists ar,-ros the Atlantic, it is not easy to saywti• it Ihe drain may be stopped ,by the ees-sation f' an adverse balance of intos na-tional settlements.

caution at this centre. It is true that thesituation in London has shown consider-able iniptovement within the pratt week.The brtnk of England has gained 3,100,001.in gold, making i total increase for the lasttlueo weeks of t2,Ol000,fO5, while the pro.prt onl of reserve to lirthbilties stands atthe extraordinary tate of 44.35 per cent; anduin hr these circumstances the bank hasnaturally reduced its discount rate from 5to 4 per cent. unt strong as is this state-went, our week's export of gold shows thattheu bank is willing to still further augmentits aceemulation of rcas. The onlysetisfaction we canl fiud under theseextraordinary movements is in the nu-varryine rule that a wide swing of thependutlutm in one direction is followed byone proportionately wide in the opposite.I he question is whether the change will

come il time to prevent stringency in theNew \'rk money nmarket. That questionis not easily solve l: and we advise ourfriends to wait fr tile answer from events,rather than to jump to a conclusion. Thesituation suegeste hLop as well as caution.For while we have $0•0tlO)0,000 of metallicmoney drained off fromt our circulation, thelar.e special disbursements of the treasurylast fall aud the creatious of new silvercurrency mors than cotlpensate for the loss.Aud, as might hare been expected, the in-flation of the circulation has caused moneyto flow to this city from thileinterior inl libe:ral volume for someweeks past, whilst, judging fromthe continued high premium on New Yorkexohangs at the Interior and at coast cities,there is more yet to colme. Still, concedingthe probabilities to be in favor of all earlyend of exports of gold and of continued re-ceipts of ntluev from otllher cities, the lon-realization of the.se probabilities would pro-duce a disappointnU tt which mtight orit-.ously alteet tile monuey market find cause afree selling of tsecurities.
