LONDON, July 16.-PaU Nall Gazette
has ISSUED in single edition a COM
plete publication of the full text of all
an enormous sale and the proceeds are
to be devoted towards defraying the ex-
penses of the commission which is
examining the data upon which the
GGzette'S articles were based. The ex-
animation, yesterday, was confined to
sitting the evidence gathered by the re-,
porters in support of the statements
that among criminal establishments
purveying to vice in London was pro-
duration firm, Mesdames x & q, whose
business consisted in supplying custom
ers all over Europe with young female
children certified by reputable physi-
clans to be innocent. They will not speak
upon the subject for publication until
the commission of inquiry finishes its
work, which will require another week.
One of the commissioners of the Gazette
reports to that paper the following
facts, the truth of which he declares to
be incontestible. In order to show the
Mansion House committee that the
business exposed by the Gazette was
still carried on as badly as ever, not
withstandlng the revelations, a reporter
offered to procure from the establish
ment of X and q as many certified
girls as the committee might name,
delivered anywhere to their
orders. There being some hesita-
ton about the acceptance of
this proposition, the reporter, while
the committee was still in session, went |
girl IA years of age, certified by ply
Stefan to be good, to be delivered to his |
order as 'agent for a gentleman of co."
The madame accepted the order, and in
4 short time produced the girl duly certi-
led to be a virgin. The reporter in
7estigated the child's history and ascer-
aimed that her father is dead and her
mother is a poor working woman.
Having completed the purchase of the
yirl. the reporter FASTENED to arrange
or her delivery anywhere, and to any
person designated by the commas
ion. No member of the COM
mission woulo consent to receive
he girl. The reporter thereupon
Irranged for her delivery tonight
md hurried back to the Mansion House,
having completed the entire transaction
Turing the single sitting of the commits
ion. This morning the reporter re-
eived a confidential letter from Ma
anne q, appointing retired place to
leet the girl tonight. Il
In addition to the above incident, the
iGzette publishes the following: A
idzette reporter, who was examined I'M
er oath, at the Mansion House, yester- |
ay, offered to prove the truth of the
iGzette's statements concerning the
laces of Mesdames X and u, by actual
to be made by telegraph while
ne committee was in session. The re-
orter wired the mesdames to supply a
ertified maid to private house near
he Mansion House, where any member Z
the committee could satisfy himself
eyond doubt regarding the beastly
lsiness. He assured the committee
lat the order would be promptly filed, !
1t no member of the committee would
