London, July 9—The Pall
Mall Gazette reproduces ar-
ticles favorable to its cause
ftOiri the Christian Religion
newspaper, the Western Mer-
cury and The Belfast News,
together with letters of pre-
test from Mr. John Brinton,
liberal member of parliament
of Kidderminster, and other
persons of prominence. The
Pall Mall Gazette this even-
ing publishes an editorial
thanking the city authorities
for attempting to suppressjthe
sale of the papers, thereby
breaking the conspiracy of si
lence maintained by the press
concerning the Gazette's re
velations. u Police seizures
of newspapers are common in
Vienna," continues the Ga
zette, "hut such high handed
outrages on the freedom ofthe
press should have been impos-
sible in London. Instead of
waging war against streetboys
let the authorities take action
against the responsible parties
in this business. If we have
published anything obscene,
let them prosecute us. We
deny that anything has been
published by us deserving that
censure and wo declaro the
authorities cowards, or worse,
if they fail to proceed against
us, they having charged in
open court the Pall Mall Ga-
zette was an obscene publica-
tion. We reluctantly adopt-
ed this mode of publicity in
order to arouse men to a just
sense of the horrors existing
all around thetn. Now, the
more publicity the better, W o
London, July {T-f-5 p. ni.—
Northumberland stfoet, where
the Pall Mall Gazeite office is
located, has all the evening
been packed from $nd to end
with a mass of oxcitied people.
As many as 3000 news ven-
dors have at times been in the
crowd elbowing and otherwise
struggling for opportunities
to purchase copies of the;;.Ga-
zette to sell. At one time the
pressure of the crowd was so
great that all the lower win
dows of the Gazette building
'were crushed. When the
doors of the publication office
were opened for sale of the
first edition, there w.is a tre-
mendous rush for the papers,
during which women and bhvs
were knocked down, trod Ion
on, and in many cases badly
injured. Despite extraordi-
nary preparations to meet, the
public demand, which the ex-
perience of the past three flays
taught the proprietors of/the
Gazette to make; the sahw of
this evening soon exhausted
the edition, and the supply of
paper given out, the presses
were stopped for several hours
before the requisite additional
supply could he procured,
the London Oit.v Micsion of
Reformatory refuge tho Union
Rescue society, Pi ml ico Ladies
association, and tho Moral
Reform Uniou. The commis-
sion visited all tho honres and
refuges where harbor i« given
unfortunates. Tho inmates
readily gave all information in
their possession. Most of the
revelations, however, were ob-
tained through interviews.
Everybody high and low like-
ly to have information, from
Lord Dalhonsie to Mrs. Jef
fries, was subjected to an in
terview by some member of
tlio commission, Mrs. Jefliies
shed a glow of light upon the
whole subjeet tinder invest-
igation. The entire cost of the
investigation amounted to
£1500."
London, July 9*—Thi chief
director of the Pull Mill Ga-
zette's injury, through which
the revelation was obtained,
writes concerning the whole
matter as follows:
"Investigation bogfn May
28, and tho work was unre-
mitting to date. Thecomaission
had valuable assistane from
the Salvation army, frm the
London committee f>r the
suppression of traffic ii Eng-
lish girls, and from te vast
experience of Miss Jo&phine
Butler. The commissiai was
composed of members)! the
Gazette staff and actet inde-
pendently of the polic. The
home office deprociaed on
official grounds allowig jour-
nalists to interview police.
The commission apped to
the Archbishop of Caoarbury,
the Bishop of Loodn and
Cardinal Manning fondvice,
and these great authotties on
morals, while deprecatig the
risk involved in tho ccnmis-
sion's task, all warinlt sup-
ported its object. Heat; help

Londoti, July 0—Thirteen
newspaper vendors, who had
been arrested tor selling copies
of the Pall Mall Gazette,
wore arraigned before the lord
mayor today. The city solicitor,
in presenting the case agnitist
the prisoners, charged them
with publicly selling obscene
literature, and said ho had
marked for the court's perusal
the passages in the Gazette's
articles upon which the charge
was based. He must, he said,
decline to read the passages
in open court, and said he
thought that tho repetition of
these objectionable statements,
with alteration daily, indicates
no good object. The solicitor
then stated that he would re-
quire further time to consider
what charge to formulate
agaiust the prisoners.
The lord mayor said lie
thought it wonld best to wait
the decision of the govern-
ment, which had before it for
consideration the same case.
The proprietors of the Pall
Mall Gazette today asked Sir
Richard Cros*, home secretary,
for protection against tho
crowds surrounding the buihl-
ing'

yor Fowler gave notice in the

ed to erect a monument to

introduced on behaltof the new
government tho budget, Sir
Michacl in presenting the bud-
get, said the government re-
gretted that the expenditures
on account ofthe $55,000,000
credit exceeded the $45,000,
000 to which Mr* Childer&'é
estimate limited them. The
government proposed to issue
$2,000,000 in treasury bills to
Paris, July 9—Paris is ex-
cited this evening over a hor-
rible tragedy just reported by
the police. Architect Condray,
although married and having
children, maintained a liaison
with Mine. Bossier the wife
of a shop-keeper in the Houl
cvard Voltaire, and who had
an amiable husband and duti-
ful daughters. The lovers
quarreled, and today dnr-
ing tho shop keeper's absence
from his place of business,
Coudray called upon Mine.
Ressier, and with a pistol shot
her in tho head. lie then ended
his life by putting a bullet
through his head. M. Bessier
soon after returned to his shop
and stumbled over the dead.
He had never believed the
stories he had heard of his
wife's infidelity, and the reve-
lation caino upon hiin so sud-
denly that his mind broke and
fled from the seat of reason,
leaving hiin a raving maniac,
yelling his ehamo up and down
the Baulevard Voltaire. When
policemen overpowered hiin
he made them understand and
tho corpses were taken away
from the shop. No living per-
son knew why the snieide
killed his mistress. It Í8
thought that Mr. Bessier will
lievor recover.
