The little commune of Audos , department

of November 131 was in bed asleep I sud

hands about my throat I was gagged
with a bootjack nnd my head was covered
with a bed shoot , so that I could neither defend -

point of a sharp stcol instrument pressed
against my car and a mans voice exclaimed :
'If you move you nro a dead mnn ' The rob
bers then found the sum of 00,000 francs
that I had received the day before and took
It away with them As they did this
they cut the cords with which my brother
and myself had been bound nnd disappeared
It would bo lmpossiblo for us to rccognizo

The history of these C0,000 francs Is very
curious , They are tbo annual revenue re-
eolved by the abbo for n number of years
It seems that ten years ago a haggard young

London , Nov 23. [ Now York Horaid
Coble Special to Tub Hru.1 Although there
is a little bit of a stir golugon In the political
world , owing to the natural anxiety of the
Gladstonians to tlnd out exactly where tboy
stand , and to the growing porploxitlcs of the
conservatives , yet the main interest still
centers round tboso dreadful social scandals
to which I rofcrrcd last week , and
to which I am compollcd to return , for
although many of the great London papers
maintain sllenco with regard to them , the
public is not silent In every oirclo these
scandals and events to which they nro likely
tu giva rise , form continual subjects of discus
slon How can it bo otherwise , considering
the names which are associated with'thomj
As for supposing that tbo newspapers huvo
power by keeping silence to hush up the
whole affair , thnt is the most hopolcss
o'delusions , The secret Is now u very
open ono , and too many persons nro deter
mined it shall como out to afford any chance
of permanent concealment Lat the eullty
persons bo brought to Justice That is the
first , last nnd inovltablo requirement of the
situation Thcro is no compromise possible ,
and there ought to bo none The injury
that Is caused by the present state of affairs
Is Incalculable Scandal mongers are
golhg about repeating the names of
entirely Innocent persons and accusing
them of complicity with the crimes In this
way listeners increase hour by hour'uutll If
ono listened to all that is said it might be
supposed that half the men of.fashion about
town were onvclopod Conjecture runs
wild and scarcely anyone is spared Tire of
this kind soon spreads , ns wn all know ,
nnd it is lmpossiblo to say where
it will stop For this reason ,
among others , and guided by his
usual discretion and knowledge of tbo
world , the princoof Wales immediately on
his return to London this week determined
to got nt the truth and threw the whole
weight of bis great influence against any
further atlompts at concealment Ho has
been absent from London the gieater part of
the time this vile affair has boon
the thouio of publio rumor , and
of course ho cant bo bold responsible ,
directly or indirectly , for what
has been done or left unaono to put the of
fenders in the doclc Ho is not minister of
justice , but ho doubtless bos a correct ap
preciation of the increase of mischief that
would bo occasioned by efforts to screen the
criminals simply because they occupy high
stations In society It anything could stnko
a deadly blow at what may bo called aristo
cratic institutions it would bo that The
fact is that the busy tocguo of rumor has now
been darted nt so many persons in the very
highest circles that for the protection of
society itself prosecution is indispensable
There is not the least reason to doubt that
some of the gentlemen to give them their
conventional name who have been traced to
tbo abomlnablo house wont there innocently
They were taken there by friends merely to
see what was going on , and it
is possible that some of thorn thought
it was a gambling house At any rate
that will bo the defense set up in a few
cases Of course It will bo for tbo jury to
decide whotbor this Is a crcditlblosiory The
actual proof of guilt cant bo arrived at in nil
cases That is the rock on which the news
papers that publish names are huely to como
to grlof They cant possibly hold the evidence -
donco which will bo roquislto to prove their
accusations But is there no cvldcnco in )
Thcro Is , and upon that will bang
a good deal when parliament
meets , for I may ns wall toll you at once
that several members of parliament are
fully resolved that everything shall bo
dragged Into tbo light of day , coulo uvo
coulo Thay will bo found as a rule on the
radical stdo of the house of commons No
doubt political motives may inspira the
course of action la certain Instances , but it
must bo said that there is great indignation
in many quarters of the use of money , oy
which persons who are well known to nave
boon guilty , have been suffered toflscapo. .
Homo Secretary Matthews cant possibly bo
ignorant of the clrcumbtnaces connected
with tbeso proceedings At any rate It was
clearly his business to know all about thorn ,
consequently thcro will undoubtedly bo a
formidable attack made upon him wien the
session opens , I have beard It
stated lliat the radicals confidently anticipate
being ablu to drive him from ofllco on tbo
strength of an indictment they are prepared
to bring forward , but Mr Matthews is a
shrewd man , and there is very much doubt
whether ho bos done anything which can
proporl.v render him amenable to severe
party censure
How the case stands as regards Munroo ,
chief commissioner of pollco , will not bo
disclosed at the present momeut ,
but it Is pretty certain that ex
traordinary inlluenco has boon brought
to bear upon him to restrain him from doing
bis duty , There is a story whispered that a
friend or relative of ono of the persons Im
plicated went into Munroo's room and
threatened to take his Ufa tbaro ift be pro
ceeded ono step further In the proceedings
which seemed to bo pending It
is not likely , bowover , that Munroe
would bavo been frightened by that
Eutreattes and arguments may have
bad greater effect Certain it is that be has
not acted Why ) That is what the mem
bers of parliament In question are detormlnod
to find out , and I dent see what is to pre
vent them Too injury to publio morals , "
some may say Hut is not Injury done to
publio morals by allowing the ring
leaders in violation of law , which
are now notorious , to escape scot
frool Is there no barm done
in permitting the rumors which now fill the
town , and which ari > spreading all ov < jr
Europe , to reaou and perhaps destroy Inuoi
cent persons ! These are questions which
have to bo considered , besides tbo simple
issue whether it would not bo bettor to bury
the entlro affair | n obllvlun , Publio moral
ity seems to call for notion , and to call for It
in a manner whioU williaxo no refusal That
is the point wo have arrived at
Today a list has been tiandod to mo of tbo
alleged guilty persons , and upon it I find the
names of tboso who are known to all , atid
whom 1 for one cant bellevo to bo truly
charged I bavo reason to believe thai thU
list is iu possesion of at least four editors
Its existence sod circulation shows the no-
ccsslty of putting an ernVtolhe present mys
tery If the persons hcrolat'down nro inno
cent , ns I cant ' doubt ti the case , at least
In some instances , what a borrlblo wrong
Is intllctcd on them by the foul stain
which ts now cast upon their names , That
is again and again considerations which
show the authorities the folly of supposing
that permanent concealment Is possible Of
course there will prcsontly bo soma paper or
other n little bolder thnu n local paper which
has bcea hauled up today that will publish
the whole list Tbo editors will forthwith bo
tent to prison Hut can the matter rest there 1
Will not the larger section of the publio
env thnt if tbo pollco authorities will not do
their duty the press must not bo prosecuted
for tryina to compel them ! Is it dcsirablo
to have a sorics of prcs9 persecutions in con
nection with such n. scandal ns this ! The
answer seems to bo obvious : How much
longer will it take the authorities
to see it ! Thnt they have prosecuted
some of the culprits only makes matters
worse Potty underlings are not tbo per
sons the publio wont to got at Bring out
the men whoso money started the house and
kept It up nnd by whom the revolting prno •
ticos were actually committed That Is
what the publio roqulrcs , and thov will have
their way in the endue , matter who may
opposa thorn
At the time I am writing another consulta
tion is going on at the bomo olllce I
bcllovo that during the tVook George Lewis ,
a very wlso man , ns well as the shrewdest
solicitor alive , and Sir Chnrlcn Russell have

THE MORMON INV1I3TIOArlO.V.
President Wooilruir Says Its Only the
Periodlonl Chestnut
Ciliotno , Nov 23. In response to a telegram -
gram tram the Associated press asking n
statement concerning the present linoitlsa-
lion In Salt Lake City , President Woodruff
ot the Mormon church sends a dispatch In
which ho soys :
This 1b the periodical Mormon sensation
which wo are accustomed to expect in No-
vombor Congress meets in Dorembor and
it Is presumed the usual efforts will bo mndo
to secure legislation against the Mormons
In addition wo are on the ova otan important
municipal election hero which tbo nntl-Mor-
mons hope to carry by provcntlng the
naturalization ot Mormons
"Tlicios absolutely nothing In the Mor
mon religion Inconsistent with the most pa
triotic devotion to the government of the
United States The revelations nud com
mandments ot the church rcqutro thnt the
constitution and laws of the land shall bo up
held It is also a part of our bcliot that the
time will como whan the country will bo dis
tracted and general lawlessness prevail
Then the Mormons will stop forward and
tnko an actlvo part In rescuing the nation
from ruin
"In regard to the claim that the priesthood
or chief authorities of the church assert tbo
right to control the Mormon people In nil
temporal matters , including political uffau-s ,
Iwouldsny : I am the head of the church
and t do not make any such claim
It would bo lmpossiblo to exorcise
it if f did The charges of undue interfer
on co iu elections Is absurd The balloting is
strictly secret The management of the
elections to the smallest details is in the
hands of the United States government ap
pointees That the Mormons are united po
litically is largely duo to their being con
stantly and vindictively nssniled by a small
mmorlty who seek to control tbo majority
"A good deal is being made of the form ot
prajor based upon two verses in the sixth
chapter of the revelations of St John In the
now testament It rotates to praying that
God might avenge the blood ot the prophets
An attempt has been made to connect this
with the avonglug of the death of Josopn and
Hiram Smith It can have no such applica
tion as the ondowtnont oath was given long
before the death of Joseph and Hiram Sratth
nnd has not been changed These mon were
murdered by a local mob dlsgutsod "
Concerning the cry about blood atonement ,
thcro is this :
The foundation of our religious faith is a
belief in the atoning blood of Christ Wo
bollovo in the scriptural doctrlpo , whoso
sheddoth mans blood by man • shall , his
blood bo shed ' But we also bollovo alt oxo-
cutlons for murder shall bo under the law of
the land and by its onleors only
The statements of apastato Mormon wit
ness tliat the endowment ceremonies involve
the death penalty upon tboso who ioavo tbo
church and disobey tbo priesthood are
simply untrue Mormons on the stand have
u right to decline to disclose the lunocont
formula of the endowment , Just as Masons
have a right to refuse to disclose Masonic
rituals "
Polvirnmy a Divine Commind
Salt Lute , Nov 23. In the Mormon In
vestigation today James Talmadgo , princi
pal of the Mormon college , testified that
pupils were taught that the revelation in
regard to plural marriage was from God ; that
the constitution property administered did
not lnterforo with the revelations of God
The wi.ness believed polygamy right and tbo
law against It unconstitutional , notwith
standing the decision of the United States
supreme court
