SPnI VLHVCUil.K TO TUB ST LOUIS JtE- rrilUC AND Tl'E NEW YORK HERALD Paris; June "5. (Copyright. 1S04 ) Public oplrion is novj solely Interested In the labors of the Commlttt? of Inquiry, and politicians themselves are so much ab sorbed by this ante-chambre romance that they mechanically pass clauses of most important bills, such as those of the two jear military service bill, or the Insurance Companj's bill One would think that there are now in France only the bribed and the bribers. The committee Itself Is pursuirg Its task In a twofold waj. Sometimes it hears witnesses like M Mlllerand and M Trouillctte, who only tell about the sums paid to the Committee of Commerce anJ Industry for the last general elections. Sometimes it hears other witnesses who only speak of the sure demanded of the monks of Chartreux, for their authoriza tion or proposed to the Government with the same object This makes two different chapters of scandals. They arc connected by the two fold fact that M Crabert is the same man wno paid wiv.WJ to tne committee, and who suggested that the morks of Cr.ir treux would be quite willing to pay $1W 000 in order to be authorized, and that It Is M Michael Lagrave. French Com missioner to the St. Louis Universal Ex position, who got up the committee through which he facquainttd the Govern ment with M Crabert's Idea, to which he attached more Important than it reall merited. EXCESSIVE ZEAL. All this disturbance Is due to the excess of zeal of M. Lagrave in transforming into a formal proposition what was only an empty suggestion. The unlucky man Is rather overtasked by It, for his of ficial duties, hardly correspond to the work which Is being given him. and which has ended In painful scenes between M. Combe" and himself before the Com mittee on Inquiry On the whole, as far as concerns the Committee of Commerce and Industry, its president, M. Mascurand, a prominent Paris merchant, when summoned before the Committee of Inquirj. stated that he had done nothing illegal, and that he was ready to do it again As far ns concerns the millions for the monks of Chartreux we come in collision with the peculiar spirit of the members of religious con- fregations They, by letter and their rlends, by real testimony, continue to affirm that some people, whose names they refuse to give, have demanded money to obtain authorization. But as they wi.l not give any names we find ourselves face to face with one of those anony mous calumnies against which defense is impossible The result of this attitude l") to exasper ate the Republican majority In the Cham ber as well as tne senate. And If tne Senate passes the bills already voted by the Chamber of Deputies against the con gregations, the monks of Chartreux can say that they are responsible. The majority, moreover, seems to be rathr weak. Of this it gave a proof in organizing the Committee of Inquiry This committee, the majority of which is composed of Nationalists, wanted to make a scandal In the Chamber of Depu ties by an Interpellation In the Incident In which M Lagrave and M. Edgar Combes called ezch other liars. The ma jority of the Chamber repelled this at tempt, and in this people saw a proof of a desire to save themselves If they should fail In finding out anything. For that matter the days of the Combes Ministry are numbered. y nbaih Line Change of Time. Decatur Accommodation leaves Union Station at C:00 p. m.. Instead of 4:M p. m., as heretofore. ST.
