New Yohk, Juno 11.—Sir William Gordon Gumming lias decided, says a lei ter from an acquaintance of the baron et in London to a gentleman in tills city, to relate at length liisowu version of the Tranby Croft baccarat scardal In aamall volume which he proposes to bring out au early date. In his book he will deal particularly with what he has termed the “rascality” of Lycett Green, the manner In which the Prince of Wales keeps secrets; bis candid opinion of the hostess of Tranby Croft, and the true and only reason why he was called upon to sign that docu ment. How the prince of Wales plays the role of banker, why he carries his own baccarat apparatus about with him. The nonsense that occurred among the parry on both nights of the play, and last but not least, Lady Brooks' rea son for the breaking her promise to the prince of Wales that she would not ut ter a single word about the affair to living being. The story is that the prince conlided the morsel of gossip to his favorite Lady Brooks, who in turn revealed it to friend of hers who happened to have been scorned by Sir William Gordon Cumming, and who at once saw an op portunity for her revenge.

Some Straws that Tead to Show the Drift of tU* Speakership Wind. Five members of the last congress Hon. Thomas C. McRae, of Prescott, Arkansas; Hon. C. L. Anderson, of Koe- cinsco, Mississippi; Hon. JameaS. Coth ran, of Abbeville, S. C.; Hon. H H. Carlton, of Athens, and Hon. J. O. Clements, of Rome, met at the Kimball, in Atlanta Thursday to confer about business matters. It was their unani mous opinion that Judge Crisp will be elected speaker of the next house . Hon. Tom McRae, of Arkansas, has served three terms In congress and has been re-elected to the next house. “1 am for Crisp for speaker,” said he, “aud iu my .opinion he will be elected. Arkansas is divided on this question. Of our five members two of ue are for Crisp, two for Mills, aud the fifth has not even iutlmated who be is for. I be* lieve Crisp would make the bestspeaker. I believe it would be batter for the dein ocratio party to elect him than any other member of the house, and, therefore, ■ball vote for bint. A large majority of the old members agree with me. Crisp will get their votes." Mr. Carlton had just returned from Boston and New York. He said: “On my trip to Boston and New York,” said Mr. Carlton, “I talked with various members of congress and the leading politicians of the states. Massa chusetts, I understand, will go solidly far Charlie Crisp for speaker, aud New York, I am confident, will vote twenty one out of her twenty-three members for Crisp. I Was told by men who should know that the delegation would be solid for him. Indeed the Impression In Washington, New York and Boston ir that Crisp's election Is now a certainty. He will not lose five votes from all the states bordering on the Atlantic coast, and the middle states will give him big majority. Iu the west he will get at many as any othor candidate."
