London, Juno IB. Great oxcltomont
was caused here by the news thnt n disa
greeable sceuo occurrod at the Ascot
races, an unfavorable) demonstration to
tho Prlnco of Walos bolng made. An at
tempt has been mado to hush tho matter
up, and tho nowspapors havo boon so
licited from Influential quarters to mnko
no mention of tho fact, or nt least to
minimize tho importance of the affair.
It seems that as tho Princo was driving
up with a party of his noblo friends, tho
crowd in tho vicinity, composed mostly
of woll drossod people, but with a sprink
ling ot a rougher elomont, hootad nnd
Joored His Boyal Highness, making sar
castic allusions to tho baccarat scandal.
Somo cried out: "Havo you brought
your counters with your" Others In
dulged in moro offonslvo thrusts.
Iho aristocratic group around tho
Princo though apparently too astonished
and startled to bo In full possession of
their wits, managed bi niako a countor
demonstration of a rathor wonk sort In
support of tho Princo, who was himself
palo with anger, and who cast furious
glances nt his lnsulters.
This Is boHovcd to bo tho first tlmo
that a disrespectful demonstration has
ever been m::do against tho Prluco of
Wales by a crowd boarlng nny claim to
responsibility, nnd tho Incldont is ovon
more significant than tho lecturing ha
has boon getting tho past few days from
religious and secular nowspapors.

says of tho Princo of Wnlos, In connec
tion with tho baccarat scandal: "Tho

like that of Tranby Croft would dostroy
this foundation, and Edward VIII would
never uo crownod."
Tho "British Wooklv" says: "Tlio roy.
elatlons aro onough to sobor tip the
strongest supporters of the monarchy."
Tho correspondent of tho "Times" nt
Vienna says that tho baccarat scandal
has caused n sensation In army circles on
tho Continent, especially In countries
whoro tho Princo of Wales holds
honorary military rank. The corres
pondent directs attention to tho fnct
that an Austrian gonornl, who was found
to havo condoned in a similar mannor to
that adopted by the Princo of Wales' acts
of cheating upon tho part of ono of his
subordinate olllcers. was compoiieu to
resign from tho army to avoid being trlod
by court-martial.

that tho Whiskey Trust may not have

Wholesale liquor dealors and rectlflors
are forming a combination to build n dis
tillery of their own that will be the larg
est In the world, nnd enable them to
mako their own whiskey ut their own
price. There will be no difficulty In
raising the money as tho individual tax
on each distiller or dealer, will amount
to something less than $5,000.

Washington, Juno 18. Comptroller
Lncoy has completed his statement ot
tho connection of his ofllco with tho clos
ing of tho Koystono National Bank of
Philadelphia, and handed it to Secretary
Foster for his Information.
The statement Is very olnbornto nnd
contnlns nil tho correspondence that has
passed between Comptroller Lacoy nnd
Examiner Drow.
Mr. Lncey takes tho ground that the
ofTico of tho Comptroller of tho Currency,
can only bo investigated by Congress or
by United States officials, and that it
would bo manifestly Improper that Its
business should bo subject to inspection
by nny municipality that desired to In
vestigate It. IIo cites as ns precedent
the refusnl of Superintendent Porter,
who refused to turn over certain census
returns nt tho request of thu Now York
authorities, which refusal was bated on
the opiniou of the Attoruey-Gonoral that
United States Government officials should
not obey tho requests of municipal au
thorities.
Comptroller Lacy will. In all proba
bility, act on this opinion nnd rofuso to
npponr boforo tho Philadelphia Council,
though his statomcnt may bo forwarded to
it by Secrotary Foster for Its "Informa
