In the first place the Prince had arranged to spend the week la question at another country seat in the neighborhood, but on his sending a Hat of friends whom he wished to be asked to meet him, exception was taken by his would-be entertainers to one of the ladies named therein, and in consequence thereƑf the royal visit was abandone i.
The objection to the lady was based solely on the ground of rather too masked attentions paid to her by the Prince during the last season, which had given rise to some gossip and much jealousy. The lady lo question was the beautiful Lady Brooke, the wife of the heir to the Earldom of Warwick, and one of the wealthiest heiresses in the peerage.
On the third day of bis visit an unpleasantness with Sir William Gordon-Cumming took place, The unpleasantress at the card table at Tranby- Croft is entirely different to the version published in the newspapers, and the charge made in print that Sir William was caught surreptitiously tampering with the stakes is devoid of truth,
What occurred was this: Sir William had on the table before him a silver cigarette case with An exceedingly highly polished back, on which was reflected the faces of the cards when dealt. Whether this was Intentional on his part or not is a question that has given rise to much discus- alon. It is probable, however, that no one would bare given any attention to the matter had not Sir William been winning very heavily.
So few men knew him to lose without betray. ing signs of ill-humor, and one of the unfortunate ones, more crusty than the rest and searching fo some peg on which to bang his ill-humor, caught sight of the cigarette box and gruffly suggested its removal. Sir William, who has hitherto been known as a man of unblemished character and of great gallantry, is not blessed with a particularly patient or enduring character, and a full-fledged scrimmage was only avoided by the presence of the Prince.

PARIS, February 10th,
A decided sensation has been caused by the disappearance of a well known private banker. Victor Mace, who, it is learned, left debts amounting in $4,000,000. Five years ago he opened an establishment, doing a business which in America would be denominated na "wild-cat," offering interestan deposits averaging as high as to per cent. per month. He advertised widely and conducted his affairs in so plausible manner that he accumulated a very large ceatage. Rumors have frequently been afloat regarding the instability of his promises, but he always managed to reassure depositors, fe 'quently telling them that he had inside tips on
the financial situation, etc.
The
· latter part of last werk, however, more seriou- rumors becime current and the depositors besieged the bank, only to find Mace absent. The Folice had to place a guard over the institution to save it from being sacked, To-day they produced a letter from Mace,saying that he leaves his creditors all the money he has 1,000,000 fratics -and is going to commit suicide. Few people relieve that be will do this. His accounts show that he owes at least 70,000,010 francs to deposi-

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Telegraph writes at length of the persecution of Jews, which he says has been, if anything, more marked since the petition from Guildhall, Lon-k don, was returned without comment by the Czar, Russia's reply to the respectful petition consists of secret circulars ordering the officials to vigorously administer the anti-Semitic laws and supply legal deficiencies by their own deci- stons. The correspondent says the Poles, after the rebellion of 1884, were less inhumanly treated than the Jews are to-day. The Jews, through the wretched life they are forced to live, are physically degenerate, and becoming a most striking embodiment of human life continuing In srite of the gradual decay of the vital fond- tions.
General Courkes, Governor of Warsaw, with the knowledge of this, issues the most stringent regulations ns to the examination of young Jews for military recruits, barrassing those found physically unable to bear arms by repeated cruel examinations, dragging them several times a year from their homes to examining stations many miles away, where they are compelled to go on foot chained with convict ganga.
The majority of the Jewish recruits are found to be unfit for service. In the event of Christians being found unfit to perform the duties of a soldier they are sent home, and are finally re- leased from military service. The Jewish recruits, on the other hand, are worried to death. They are sent home, and are subject during a period of three years to be recalled at any moment. The recruit consequently returns to bis home, hundreds of miles away, resumes his occupation, and a month later is suddenly ordered to re-appear for medical examination. This process is repeated at intervals of a few months during the three усата
