THE QUEEN HUMILIATED WITH GHIEF AND EAGE OVEB THE BACCAEAT SCANDAL. A Searching investigation Into the Whole Affair Demanded The Trlnce of Wales' Unfortunate Connections Gordon Cam ming Rejects All Oiertnres for a Corn pro inlhe. TBT JrSLAl"S CABLE COMPACT. 1 . London, Feb. 27. A red rag to a bull is about as calming to his rage as is the sight of the name of Sir William Gordon Cummlng to the Queen. This case, oddly enough, has not passed out of the domain of the nine day wonder stage, which is about twice as long as an ordinary cause eelebre is now able to hold public attention. It will un doubtedly drag its length, and a weary length, too, from day to day, and month to month until it Aires up In the heat of a court of law. In the meantime ordinary words are unable to depict the grief and rage of the Queen at the affair which took place at Trau by Croit. The reason of this is no doubt because most of the English papers have condemned the participation of the Prince of Wales in this now historical game of baccarat. In fact one ot the papers has gone in for a more searching inquiry into the history of it, and as the result of this investigation it reminds people that he has been singularly unfortunate in the choice of his friends, lor two of them are now beguiling the weary hours exiled from home, for the exhilarating pastime of cheating at cards, while a third, "a man ot pedigree," is now charged with a similar offense, and a fourth is in exile in consequence of the grave charge which has been made against him and has rendered his absence compulsory, while it would be ex ceedingly difficult to say how many have been through the bankruptcy court The proceedings ot the divorce court, which always furnishes some of the most entertaining reading, would also furnish interesting accounts of misfortune which has overtaken many of the male and female companions in whose society the future King of England takes a great deal of de light On behalf of the defendants in the bac carat scandal, the lawyers lor the defense have written to Sir William Gordon Cum ming's lawyer that, with a view of avoiding delay, they are prepared to refer decision upon the merits of the charges and counter charges to three gentlemen ot well-known position and honor, they to be invested, by mutual epnsent, with the usual powers of a trial by law, the trial to take place in open court Upon behalf of Sir William Gordon Cam ming, his lawyers have replied that they do not intend to submit their case to anybody but a jury, and that there would not be a moment's unnecessary delay in bringing the case tn trial. The lawyers add they do not intend to be hurried. IN JEST AND SONG. Tho Tarnell Fire XUcape Episodo Still a Stock Theatrical Joke. rmr huxlai-'s cable cosirAjm London, Feb. 27. Parnellism continues after so long a time to be a stock joke at the music halls, as well as for the comedians in the comic opera entertainments, which now flourish like the green bay tree. The pre tended climbing of a fire escape and an abrupt exit through a window serve to raise a shriek of laughter and are still made the subject of topical song. The changes rung on them, which an or dinarily intelligent individual would regard as trite and worn-out subjects Ior jest, be come in the skillful hand, or rather mouth, of thelow comedy merchant perfectly inex haustible. Even the more refined members of society seem to delight in these references to the Uncrowned King. ANOTHER SENSATION For tho Delectation at IUgh Society Circles In London. BT DtJ-NLAP'S CABLE COMrAXT. London, Feb. 27. Society has another sensation. It seems as if sensation is as necessary to society as the morning nip to the habitual tippler. This last has been caused by the serving of a petition for judi cial separation upon Lord Hussell, who was married last year to the daughter of Lady Scott The ground on which the petitioner seeks to be relieved from her marriage vows is that of the cruelty of her lord and master. Lord Bussell evidently means to fight hard to keep his wife, or his good name free from the stain of having ill-treated a woman, for he has retained the services of the much sought after Sir Charles Bussell, as well as of three other Queen's Counsel to defend him. AN INTERESTING FIND. Discovery of an Ancient Portrait of Colum bus at Como. TBT DUXLAr'S CABLE COMPAXT.l London, Feb. 27. News comes from Geneva which will be interesting to every thoroughborn American. This is the dis covery at Como of an original portrait ot Christopher Columbus, which was painted by Del Piombo. This portrait was formerly regarded as a heirloom in the family of the Gioeos, and, hi fact, it was in the posses sion of Paul Ginveo, who makes references to it in his works, and had it engiaved. Through the failure of the male branch of the Gioveo family, the picture passed into the possession of the De Archi family, and is now the property of Dr. De Archi, of Como, by whom its history has been told.

The directors of the Miltord Docks Company are very sanguine that that port will become a serious rival to Liverpool when the line of steamers start running between it and America. At their last annual meeting on Thursday it was stated that large inducements will be offered to high-class transatlantic steamship lines to utiliz: that port instead of Liverpool, with the advantage to them that the voyage will be materially shortened.

A Vigorous Onslaught to lie Made on It by a Scientific Commission. rnr duxlaf's cable coupant.i London, Feb. 27. Those who live in the exhilarating atmosphere and for the most part under bright sunshine can have no idea of the appalling misery it is to go for weeks without seeing the day god. Fog has been the dominant factor of existence here. People have gone to bed with it at night and have got up with it in the morn ing. It has been the universal opinion of scientists for years that Londoners are in a large measure answerable tor this condition of things, but in spite of the discomfort it has been difficult to get anything really done to mitigate the evil. At last attempts are being made to ap point a fog commission, in the hope that something will be done by it to compel such steps to be taken as will at least cause an effort to be made that will save people Irom the all-embracing clutches of this demon of darkness and death. The fog, which has been continuous from St. Valentine's Day, has cost hundreds ot thousands of pounds loss to business people and has been the means of sacrificing hundreds of human lives. THE COLUMBUS TRAGEDY. A MISSING REVOLVER FOUND ON BASE BALL PLAYEE BAUEB. It Was the Weapon Editor Elliot Killed Hughes With The Murderer Tried to Get It Out of the Way Police are Ex onerated. SPECIAL TELEOBAX TO TBI DISPATCH. Columbus, Feb. 27. The excitement over Monday's tragedv here, when the Elliotts killed W. 'l. Hughes and A. C Osborne, docs not subside a particle. The local papers publish whole pages of testimony before the Coroner's jury, pictures of the men, new de velopments, etc., and the aflair is discussed everywhere. The 38-caliber revolver, with which W. J. Elliott killed W. L. Hughes and also shot A. C Osborne in the chin, has been missing until to-aay, and Prosecuting Attorney Huling swore there would soon be a vacancy on the police force, as he blamed Officer Wolf, who arrested Elliott, with concealing the weapon. The bullet taken out of Hughes' head was a 38-caliber revolver ball, hence the desire to get the revolver from which it was fired. The three pistols in the hands ot the police are all 32-calibers. In the present temper of the people, it will not take much to re enact heie the disgraceful Cincinnati riots. If the Elliotts escape with a slight sentence there will be a riot atid lynching here. The 38-caliber revolver was found this afternoon, however, and the innocence of the police proven. Clifford Little, a 13-year-old boy, told some of his playmates that he saw a man who was walking with Editor Elliott and the arresting officer. Wolf, reach bis band into Elliott's overcoat rocket and take a large revolver. This was re peated at the police station. This man proved to be Al Bauer, a baseball player. He walked ononeside of Elliott, who whis pered something to iiauer, who slipped his hand into the overcoat pocket and took out the "gun" unpreceived by the officer. Chief of Police Murphy to-night arrested Bauer and locked him up. Bauer says Elliott whispered to him to take the re volver and that he (Bauer) intended to give it to the Prosecuting Attorney. The re volver is the latest make of Smith & Wesson, hammerless, self-cocking and sell ejecting, is a five-shooter, and all the cart ridges were empty. The preliminary examination of the Elli otts will not take place till Tucsdav next. A special grand jury has been asked lor and granted by Judge Duncan, and wili probably be in session by Monday or Tues day next THE WOBST IS OVER. Cold Weather Causes tho Mohawk Valley Flood to Subside. Canajohaeik. N. Y., Feb. 27. The flood in the Mohawk river has been checked by the cold weather which set in last night, and the water is falling rapidly, with the exception of the ice gorges at Big Nose and Tribes Hill. The river is nearly clear of ice below here. It was very cold last night, and the mercury has stood below freezing point all day. If this continues there will be uo lurtber danger. The water has fallen about two leet here, five feet at Fonda and six feet at Fort Plain. New York Central tracks are still covered with ice, some of which is three feet thick, and mixed with water in some places. A passenger train which attempted to come through from the east made but little prog ress, and is now stalled east ot Palatin bridge.

Horne&Co.'s Pcnn Avenue Stores, REFUTE THE' CHARGE Woman Suffragists Up in Arms Against an Anonymous Attack MADE ON THEM TO C0KGGESSHEK. They Deny Being in Leasne With Social ists and Anarchists. EEVBLATIOXS OF A l'OD.N'G SUFFRAGIST FROM A STATF COItr.ESrONDENT.J Washington, Feb. 27. The Woman's Suffrage Convention was thrown into a panic to-day by the general leakage of the fact that the leaders had been charged to members ot Congress with being in league with Socialists, Anarchists, Communists and every other organization bent upon dis turbing the existing delightful order of things. The charge was contained in a cir cular letter to Congressmen, which was signed "Many Remonstrants," and the re monstrants remonstrated against the passage of the bill granting women suffrage, now in the Senate. As everybody knows, there has never been the least chance of the passage of the bill. The circular was evidently written solely for the purpose of stirring up strife, raising a row in the convention and giving the woman suflragists a black eve. The emi nent ladies who lead the convention were very indignant at the charge, not so much on account of its s ubstauce as of its anony mous character, and the spirit which prompted it They utterly deny being in league with anybody except themselves, in a formal sense, though they admit being gratelul even to an Anarchist, who has enough of the spirit of freedom and equality in him to favor woman suffrage. Snsan B. Anthony Talks. Miss Anthony, when asked about the matter to-day answered: "It is simply an other ot the anonymous attacks made upon us, and scarcely demands an answer. There is a certain set of unprogressive women in Boston Beacon street dilletantes and I have no doubt the pamphlet was written, "or at least inspired by them. The whole story is simply a concoction ot lies, and absurd ones at that" Miss Clara B. Colby, who was one of the three appointed on the committee to invite the co-operation of other National bodies in securing the enfranchisement of women, said practically the same thing. "Every time," said she, "when it looks as though we were going to be successful, there comes a deluge of these anonymous pamphlets from this little clique oi jealous and un progressive women. They are not always alike, it is true. Something of the sort was done in Dakota and elsewhere, hut this time they are pursuing a new plan of attack, but the statements themselves are qnite as false." ' Tho Charge of Socialism. Mrs. Corinne Brown, of Chicago, is one of the most advanced thinkers in the conven tion, with a decided leaning toward social ism. She has been for some time past inter ested in all branches of the labor question. She was even more emphatic in her denial of the statement that there was any sort of a coalition between the Suffragists and the Socialists. "I am not sure yet whether I am a Socialist or not," said Sirs. Brown to the reporter, who talked with her behind the scenes this morning; "but I am familiar with all their methods, as well as with those of the Suffragists, and I know that there is not a sign of any agreement or union be tween the two classes as classes." One of the youngest and most brilliant members of the convention added her testi mony to the falsity of the accusation, but gave some very iuteresting additional in formation. 1! tinning Bed With Socialism. "I don't want to be quoted as saying so," said she, "but I can assure you that the best blood, and especially the best yonng blood of the woman suffrage movement, runs red with socialism. Not anarchism, not uihilism, not communism, but substantial, practical State socialism, such as has the support of 2,000,000 voters in Germany, and such as pervades the thinking, progressive, humane classes throughout the civilized world. The best there is of the woman suf frage movement is full of this sort of social ism, but that has no part nor lot in the movement That is a question of economics. The woman suffrage movement is for equalltvofthe sex before the law. The socialism of those who are Socialists is the outgrowth of economic conditions a pure question of the best and most just method of producing and distributing the good things of life. I am proud of my Socialism, but I don't want it mixed up with my suffrage effort'." The Woman's Council and the Woman's Suffrage Conventions, which have crowded the Grand Opera House day and night dur ing the week, taken together, form the great est and most enthusiastic convention of women ever held. Outside of the merely fashionable society, which is that and noth ing else, the women of Washington have attended the meetings in great numbers, and appear to be in lull sympathy with the pur pose of the convention. Lighiner. PLUMB ON THE IKDIAN. He Docs Not Believe Education Has the Least Effect on Him. Washington, Feb. 27. The Senate to day passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and by a vote of 40 to 14 agreed to take up the pure food bill. This made it the unfinished business, but it was displaced by the Imdian appro priation bill, wbich was read and amended and then laid over until to-morrow. During the reading Mr. Plumb expressed his conviction thatan average of 5150 a year for Indian pupils was much too high; and also that no permanent advantage was de rived from a system of Indian training which now cost 52,000,000 a year, and would before long cost 10,000,000. He did not believe that it had advanced the Indian one single iota in the path of civilization. He described the Indian as being taken by the nape of the neck and "yanked" onto a plane of civilization, where they were like the seed sown on unfertile ground, which, when the sun came out, was parched and withered.

HUSTON'S LAST THREAT. BESIGNED ONCE TOO OFTEN FOR THE PRESIDENT'S PATIENCE. His last Offer AH Too Quickly Accepted by the Executive How Ue Has Been Humored by tho Harrisons for Two Tears Tast. trnoM A staff coanisroNDiKT.l Washington, Feb. 27. At last Treas urer Huston has succeeded in retiring him self, and the little serio-comedy which has been on the Treasury boards for two years has had its last uight, and the curtain is rung down. Mr. Huston was hardly in stalled until he began to resign. It required all the finesse of Mr. and Mis. Harrison to keep him from getting away. Mr. Huston would complain of some social slight to him self or Mrs. Huston and would resign. Then the heads of the President and Presidentess would be laid together. Mrs. Huston would be asked to luncheon or dinner, and the resignution would be withdrawn, only to be renewed when Mrs. Huston's name was some time found to be omitted from the list of ladies assisting Mrs. HarrisoS to receive. Then the row would break out anew and Huston would resign. Again it would be on account of a failure of the President to traiiffer Huston to some higher office. Sev eral assistant secretaryships occurred at one time and another, and Huston wanted all of them. The President being forced to refuse, Huston would lesign, and only redoubled social courtesies could balk bis intention. When Secretary Windom passed awav, who so fit for the succession as the Treasurer of the United States ? Then came the climax. Foster's appointment sealed Harrison's doom. Once and for all, and for the last time, Huston determined to resign and leave the President to his fate. The President took Huston's breath away by acceptiug, and announcing the appointment of ex State Treasurer Lemcke, ot Indiana, who was caught by the President's telegram at New York, as he was about to step on a European steamer. Mr. Lemcke was a Gresham man two years ago, and is a power in Indiana poli tics. Huston will now probably be a Gres ham man and Lemcke a Harrison man. At any rate the President is very willing that Gresham bhall have Huston. THE HAWAIIAN CABINET OBSTINATE. The Queen Appeals to the Supremo Court to Oust the Ministers. San Francisco, Feb. 27.

The trial of the wreckers of the Bank of America result ed to-day in a verdict of guilty against George F. Work aud James S. Dungan, and Louis E. Preiffer. the President of the wrecked bank, is guilty according to his own confession and plea. Sentence has not yet been passed upon the convicted men, by reason of an application made by counsel for WorKand Dungan for a new trial. Only MacFarlane. of the quartet of men who conspired to defraud the depositors in the bank and the policy holders ol the American Life Insurance Company, is at present at large. He is a fugitive. The trial has been one of the most remarkable .ever witnessed in this State, and has devel oped the most startling revelations as to the manner in which the financial affairs of one class of the commercial institntions of this country are carried on. Sensation after sen sation has startled the court, and every hour seemed to bring with it some new phase of a surprising nature. The Scene in Court The bar was crowded with lawyers at the opening of to-day's proceedings. Mrs. Work and Mrs. Pfeiffer sat in the court, pale, nervous and trembling, weeping silently. Around Mrs. Pfeiner sat a number of friends, who now and then spoke words of comfort to ber, but the only response she made was a shake of the head and a fresh outburst of weeping. Work was pale as usual, but all his sang froid had gone. He was evidently ill at ease, and showed it in every movement. While Furman Sheppard was arguing his case, he sat erect and apparently as motionless as a statue. Only once did he move, and that was when he whisnered to Lawyer Moon some point for Mr. Sheppard to ufe. Dungan cowered in his seat, as if ashamed to meet the sunlight which streamed in at the windows. Pfeiffer was flustered and anxious. Eevry now and then he looked at his wife and then tapped his knee with his fingers in his nervous agitation. All three ot the accused men listened to the speeches of counsel intenselv, and both Dungan and Pleiffer moved back ward and forward as the statements affected them. District Attorney Graham's eloquence seemed to melt and freeze them)alteruately. Now tbey paled and again they fluihed. Dungan would at times bury his face in his hands and then place his hand on the neck of a young man, who has sat near him dur ing the whole trial. A Throng or People. The fact that the evidence was ail in and that council wonld begin their argument had the effect of thronging the Court House. On the stairway the tipstaves were stationed, with orders to limit the number of people, who entered the court room as much as possible. But the string of people poured in until the aisles were crowded and packed up to the iron gate which leads to the enclosure. The argument of counsel and the Judge's charge lasted until 3 o'clock. The jury then retired, and the court took a recess un til 4:15. At 430 Judge Arnold took his seat on the bench, and a moment later the aisles were cleared to allow the jury to pass into the court room. A hush fell upon the crowd as the 12 men walked slowly down the aisle. Work and Pfeiffer eagerly scanned their faces, as if to glean some intelligence from them, but Dungan's head fell on his breast and he folded his arms tightly. Work turned to the table as the jury took their seats and began writing hurriedly. Stunned by the Verdict . The usual formalities were quickly gone through with, and the court officer took in his hand the bill ot indictment, and, ad dressing the jury, asked if they had agreed upon a verdict. The foreman answered in the affirmative. "How say yon, gentlemen of the jury, guilty, or not guiltv?" "Guilty." As the word "guilty" fell from the fore man's lips, Work's face became livid, his figers twitched convulsively and he leaned Inrward over the table. Dungan's head dropped back and he gasped for breath, then throwing his right arm around the neck of his friend, he leaned over and rested motionless. Pfeiffer sat bolt upright in his chair, giving no sign of any emotion. Lawyer Moon, for the defense, requested that the jury be polled, and it xtjs found that every man was in favor of the verdict as rendered. Lawver Moon, on be half of Work, and W. C.'Terry, for Dun gan, at once gave notice of their intention to move lor a new trial. Sensational Scenes In Court When the jury had been dismissed a most sensational scene followed. Pale and tiembling, Mrs. Work was led by her daughter within the bar inclosure and there greeted her husband. She kissed him re peatedly, and as he turned to go she fell back in a chair in a fainting condition. The poor woman was led from the room by her daughter just as Mrs. Dungan said good by to her husband at the gate. Mrs. Dun gan was perfectly calm, but as she passed down the aisle her tottering form showed bow much she felt 'the burden under which she was laboring. A number of Work's frienda crowded round him after the adjournment, and for a few niomente he held au impromptu recep tion. Pfeiffer's wife hurried from the room immediately after the verdict wis rendered, and Pfeiffer passedjdown to the van, after taking leave of his counsel. The thiee men were taken down the Judge's private entrance, in order to escape the crowd awaiting them at the front door, and, in charge of court officers, Lews and Tibber ton were conveyed to Moyainensing.

TO BE CALLED TO TUB PDLPIT, ASI WAT SPICTAL TXLinitAH TO Till DtSPATCtt.t Kisgstok, N. Y., Feb. 27. In tha midst of the productive dairy farms of Orange county is the little hamlet of Col- denham, founded by Cadwallader Colden, and kept green by Reverdy Johnson. Among the handful of buildings which comprise the settlement is a Covenanter Church. An episode has just occurrred within tha walls of that little edifice which has created more stir and gossip than any previous inci dent in the history of Coldenham. The Rev. James McCready poured his eloquence from the pnlpit of the Covenanter Church on tha rude forefathers of the hamlet until he re ceived a call which paid him far better financially. Ever since the little parish has been looking for somebody who would pro mulgate orthodox teachings to a diminish ing but stubborn denomination at an annnal stipend of $800 a year, a parsonage, garden patch, and a donation party and occasional wedding by way of dessert. An Applicant From Pennsylvania But it has been difficult to fill the place, aud the pulpit has been vacant some time..; An applicant lor the vacant pulpit at last came a short time ago in the person ot the Rev. Sir. Milligan, of Pennsylvania. Sun day last was to be his trial trip. The day was clear and bracing, and the hardy yeo- i manry who live at Coldenham and its im mediate vicinity and are regular attendant! at the Covenanter Church were out in lull force. Young and old were dressed in their best and the maidens were attired in their prettiest gowns. All were anxious to see tha new minister and listen to what he had to sav. The Pennsylvania pastor had spoken for some time, to the entire satisfaction of his hearers, who had listened attentively, when suddenly he baited in the midst of his discourse and said: "I regret to state that I am an exceedingly nervous man, and am annoyed by a young lady in the congrega tion who has been endeavoring to flirt with me this morning. I have neither the timer nor the inclination to return1 the compli ment at this time, bnt may do so later on." A Surprise for the Congregation. I These words fell like a thunderbolt upon the Covenanters, more especially so as this departure from theology was made while tne eves of the pastor were steadfastly fixed on those o: a slushing young lady who is noted j for her g'd looks and regarded as the bellai of Coldenham. The effect on the congrega- j tion has never been equalled. When the services were concluded there was a bustling; of dresses down the aisles aud out into the' country road, where the matter was talked, over profusely. ' Nevertheless, the episode has a tendency to popularize Pastor Milligan, and the chances point toward his becoming the' permanent preacher at the little Orange, county Covenanter Church.
