SIR WILLIAM HAPPY.
Though Defeated in the Law Coust
He Wins in Love,
Loxpox, June 10, —The jury in the bac-
carat trial has retarned a verdictagaingg
Sir William Gorden Cumming.
From the time the jury retired to de-
Hberate upon their werdict umtil
moment they returned to court on
fifteen minutes elapsed, showing appar-
ently that they were of one opmion as
to the merits of the case.
The announcement of the verdict was
received with slight hissing in the court
upon the part of these who were in
sym y with the plaintiff. These
marks of disapprobation, however, were
promptly suppressetl, and as the court
room an to be vacated by its deeply
interested, chatting audience, the cur
tain may be said to have been lowered
over the Tranby Croft drama, and Sir
William is practically found guilty of
cheating in a friendly game.
LoxpoN, June 11. —8Sir William Gor-
don Comming has come out of the bac-
carat trial better off than any one else,
despite his probable expulsion from all
his clubs, as well as from the army,
This is the gist of public opinion. In
addition he was married yesterday to
Miss Garner, and official capacities at
the wedding were filled by representa-
tives of the aristocracy and the army.
Sir William's denial the other day that
he was to marry Miss Garner was of
a piece with the chivalrous|spirit which,
so far as can be discovered from any-
thing that has transpired, seems to have
animated him at all times. He desired
to Hinke her release from him as easy as
possible,
Lady and Sir William Gordon Cam-
ming left this city shortly after the cere-
mony for the bridegroom's estate, Al-
tyre, near Forres, in In where
the will spend their honeymoon.
When the verdwet was pronounced
against him Sir William again offered to
cancel his engagement to Miss Garner,
but that lady, believing in his innocence,
would not hear of such a thing, and in-
sisted that the marriage should take
place. It is expected that Sir William
and his wife will visit the United States
in the fall.
Lady Gordon Cumming is the oldest
daughter of the late Commodore Garner,
of New York, who was drowned in July,
1876, with hus wife, through the capsiz-
ing of Mr. Garner's yacht Mohawk.
WALES IS SORRY.
And Will Not Be Disciplined for
Violating Army Regulations,
LospoN, June 16. — Hon. Edward
Stanhope, secretary of state for war, re-
plying in the house of commons to a
Guektian put by Mr. William Summers,
(Gladstone Liberal) in regard to the
baccarat scandal, said that Sir William
Gordon Cumming was the chief person
who had broken faith, because Pedi
not report the case to his commanding
officer.
Of the three officers concerned Gen.
en Williams was a retired officer of
army, and was, therefore, not sub-
2 to the regulations, but the other
wo— Field Marshal the Prince of Wales
and Lieut. Berkeley Levett—undonbt-
edly were. The former, said Mr. Stan-
hope, on looking back at all the circum-
stances of the case, had authorized him,
Mr. Stanhope, to say that he now saw
that an error of judgment had been
committed.
Lieut. Berkeley Levett had written a
letter to his commanding officer express-
ing deep regret that he had not acted in
accordance with the army regulations.
Consequently, said the secretaryof
war in conclusion, it was not proposed
to take any further action in the matter

WasHiNaroN, June 16.—The agree-
ment for a close season in Behring sea
was signed yesterday. The president's
proclamation reads as follows:
hereas, An agreement for a md lus
visendi between the government of the
United States and the government of
her Britannic majesty, in relation to the
fur seal fisheries in Behring sea, was
concluded on the fifteenth day of June,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and ninety-nine, as fol
lows: a ox :
For the purpose of avoiding irritating
differences and with a view to promote
the friendly settlement of the questions
pending between the two governments
touching their respective rights in Behr-
ing sea and for the preservation of the
seal species, the following agreement is
made without prejudice to the rights or
claims of either party: :
1. Her majesty's government will
prohibit until May next seal killing in
that part of Behring sea lying eastward
of the line of demarcation described in
Article No. 1 of the treaty of 1867 be-
tween the United States and Russia,
and will promptly use its best efforts to
insure the observance of this [rohitition
by British subjects and vesse
2. The United States government will
prohibit seal killing for the ssme period
m the part of Behring sea and on the

of the United States (in excess of 7,500
to be taken on the island for the sus.
tenance and care of the natives),
will probably use its best efforts to in-
sure the observance of this prohibicion
by United States and vessels,
“3. Every vessel or person offend
against this prohibition in the sai
waters of Behring sea, outside of the
ordinary territorial limits of the United
States, may be seized and detained by
the naval or other duly comuussioned
officers of either of the high contracting
parties, but they shall be handed over
as soon as practicable to the authorities
of the nation to which they respectively
belong, who shall alone have jurisdiction
to try the offense and impose the penal-
ties for the same. The witnesses and
proofs necessary to establish the offense
shall also be sent with them,
