-gneeial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
LoNpox, Nov. 2l.-IBy cable to the New
York Herald If half the stories afioat are
true, London is to have trial which will
develop details as disgusting as those of
the Dublin scandal The latter was
brsaght into court through libel suit
Brought against the United Ireland by Sec
getary Cornwall, of the general postoffice
Of Ireland. He said that Ireland was no
longer a BIT place for a gentleman. United
Ey,tlif,ld promptly replied that it would be
father a fine thing for the country if he
zHd his kind cleared out, at the same time
limiting broadly at a practice of which In
spector French, head Of the criminal de-
aSrtment, and several others of less prOmi-
nence, were convicted. Then Cornwall
Brought suit and lost; then the government
decided to prosecute.
IN the present instance, Earl Euston
takes the place of Cornwall. The earl is
Ghe eldest son of the Duke of Grafton, and
aas Instructed Mr. George Lewis to take
criminal proceedings against Mr.. Parke,
editor of the new half-penny paper, North
Lqsd0n Press, for having stated that he was
,Jue of the principals in the Cavendish
street scandal, and has been allowed to
ieaye the country to defeat the ends of
Justice. Mr.. Parke is sub-editor of O'COn-
nor's Star. Those who know him say he
would hardly make such allegations unless
ne believed in his ability to prove their
truth. He is, however, mistaken on one
gOiat. Earl EuStOn did not leave the coun-
arg, though it is generally understood he
was advised to do so. Others who are said
20 he implicated fed, but the earl declared
ne was innocent, and stood his ground.
Recently, he has been frightfully goaded,
ana the publication to which he objects is
not the worst lash applied.
at a recent Radical meeting number of
his acquaintanctS turned ieir backs on
him, and unless he is willing to become
-ostraeised, he was compelled to accept the
FIRST chance that was offered to prove his
anocence.
The scandal is three months old, and for
nearly that length of time has been the
S.alk of the West End clubs and not few
drawing rooms. But, old as it is, not

was too nasty to handle without the
strongest justification, and it is not i'm
sEObab1e that it would be still under cover
but for the rumor thatPOlice Commissioner
Monroe had threatened to resign if he was
further thwarted by high officials in his
efforts to bring the alleged culprits to
justice.
So far only thr re persons have suffered for
Che crimes which rumor attributes to dozea
81 more. These are two men namei Week
aud Wilson, and the woman who assisted
IN managing the resortin Cavendish street.
The three persons We're convicted on the
testimony of detectives. All that is known
Is that the prisoners were sentenced to
short terms of Imprisonment. 1t is main
tzlned by the police authorities that sew
eral members of the nobility were permit
ted TO escape thorough tips given by the
government officials. 1t is not improbable
that the names of several persons who are
innocent have been mentioned as among
1ne guilty.
T0-day's Pail Nal Gazette says: "There
Is every probability of the whole nosome
matter, with the names of those concerned,
being brought into a public court and
everything turns upon the question of iden-
1ity. If tried as a case of mistaken identity,
1Ie witnesses called for the defense of Mr.
Parke viii be liable to examination and
cross examination concerning every person
they can swear they met at the house in
question"
