New York, oct. 2--1he 1actS OD-
| tanned by the legislative investigating

ance company to the republican cam
paign fund have aroused Attorney Cen
eral Mayer to action He has ordered
John A. Mccall, president of the New
York Life company, to restore the
money TO the company's treasury. If
he does not, suit will be entered
against him to compel restitution.
This statement was made by one of
| the five insurance commissions now
here from western and southern
states. These commissioners, stirred
by the testimony given by the New
York Life officials as to the appropria-
ton of the policy holders money for
campaign purposes, decided after cor
|respOndence among themselves to
come to New York and discover wheth
er there are sufficient grounds to oust
the New York Life from its privileges
in their states.
Five states Aroused.
The state commissioners referred to
are r. z. Folk. of Tennessee: H. ].
Trewitt, of Kentucky; Zeno NJ. Host.
of Wisconsin; Thomas V. O'Brien. of
Minnesota and C. c. Pierce. of Ne
braska They met Friday and decided
to take up at once the investigation of
the New York Life. In the evening
they called upon President Mccall and
told him of their intention The COM
missioners expressed surprise to Pres
ident Mccall over his confession that
the New York Life had used it's policy
holders money for campaign contribu-
tions. but Mr.. Mccall only smiled
I'VE intend" said one OF the COM
missioners to him, ito go thoroughly
into this line of investigation. in the
hope that we will be able to trace ali
the money put out in this manner"
1.-The books will show where every
cent of our money has gone said Mr.
Mccall
Ordered to Return Money.
In the course of the conversation
President Mccall remarked that the
propriety of the company's paying out
money for campaign purposes was a
matter for the courts to decide.
The attorney general of this state"
he continued, has communicated with
me on this question, and asked me to
restore, or to have restored, to the
company's treasury all the money so
paid out. ! have stated to him that
do not feel called upon to do it an6
he says he will institute suit against
me TO compel restitution. The courts
will decide the point. If it is decided
the money must be paid back, then it
will be done"
1t is clearly against the law in all
the five states represented by the five
commissioners.

deceive the N1comte; but to say that he suspected
a tithe OF the truth would be to misrepresent the
circumstance If he suspected the imaginations
OF his servants Dolores clever evasions her manner
OF leading to a belief in French successes without
giving close account of them altogether de-
ce1ved him; and he would talk to her for hours of
the great cavalry charge at Worth of the EN-
peror battle at Saarbr1cken and of that glorious
day SO at hand, when the French armies
would enter Berlin and peace would reign.
/ shall hear my old comrades then" he would
say. They will find me a seat at the cafe, and
l shall hear them. There is much for the blind
to learn, Dolores l have to begin my life over
again; and first must learn to read as blind people
do. You would never believe how far away the
world seems now. l think of it all as something
l looked upon when l was a child-the fields the
flowers, the faces of my friends. Death will open
my eyes. Perhaps none of US ever sees Alright in
this life. Some day l shall see YOU again-the
Dolores of my boyhood, and YOU will be no older.
Let your English friend, DR.. Orlopp, come to me
when YOU busy. There is a man who should
be leading one Of our armies to Berlin. He has
ideas foresight, prudence-ah, but you know all
that. There IS who understands so
WELL
He could not see the blush upon the Young
girls cheek-nor did she protest as many in her
place would have done. In truth, the deceptions
TO which she had stopped in her desire to bring
happiness to this patient soldier appalled, her when
she must often ask: ''What viii the end be and
how shall we keep discovery from him."
No longer was It possible even for her to doubt
the issue of the war. Day by day the terrible
Prlssian legions drew nearer to Paris. MacMahon,
that wonderful NacMahon of whom the Nicomte
spoke 50 often had not he and his army surrendered
At Sedan and given up the Emperor as hostage
to Germany? In the streets. at the doors Of the
cafes, patriots told each other that the siege of
Paris must be q military impossibilitv; and
vet each imagined. when he was alone that he
could hear the distant thunder of a great army
upon the march, and behold as an omen Of the
worst a mirage of phantom legons in a summer
sky. People feared to admit the truth, and
New-York tribune., 1905-07-23

would live if he knew the truth. Do YOU
remember how he rode away to Worth and the
silly stories they told OF his oath the Cafe Richie
lieu? If the Prussians ever enter Paris and he
knew it. l am sure that he would take his own
life He is a soldier of the old school. The Army
is his god, the Emperor his idol He believes
France to be invincibe. To him her defeat would
be the end of all things. And he may never know,
Edmund-for he may never again truly
understand the misfortunes that have overtaken
US.
Orlopp admitted that this might be the case.
for it was his conviction that Rohans evesight
would never be recovered. None the less, the
shadows closing about that unhappy life afrighted
him for Dolores sake; and he had no doubt that
some accident OF word or deed would betray the
secret one dav
And then he said God help him! for he will
know that he is blind"
They closed the gates of Paris on September 10,
1877, and thence until January 20 in the following
year no man went forth
Old Francoise the housekeeper and Gilbert the
valet had told their tales of victory giblv enough
while the Prussians were away fighting upon the
frontier but no sooner had the gates been shut
than their difficulties began and waXed greater
with the days.
Now to their anazenent it began to dawn upon
them that their master would not always be an
invalid in the armchair by the window. listening
to the music of war the story of vaOrs. Dav
by day his old strength appeared to return to him.
Inspired by the victories OF which they spoke he
put his beloved uniform, and would wear
civilian clothes. The tramp OF armed men stood
to him for the glorious evOlutions of the victOrs
at Metz, at Sedan and at Strasburg.
No one told him that the steps were those of
half-drilled rabbIe, known as the Mobiles the
National Guard-butchers, bakers and candle
stick-rnakers, coveting the red stripe upon their
trousers, and Vet little anxious to die in the last
ditch. The roaring strain of the ''Marseillaise"
did not surprise him. Men would naturally cele-

imagined victory to the last act.
None but Edmund Orlopp the English
doctor perceived clearly what dis
coverv might mean and the price that
must be paid for it; and he had little
heart to speak of it to Dolores, lest
by speaking he should seem to reflect
upon that human sympathy she gave
so freely When he could doubt No
longer that Paris would be besieged
and must fall, he put it to her that,
if Rohan recovered his eyesight, it
would go hard with him.

are you going to keep the truth from
him when the Prussians come and the
gates are shut? He is recovering his
bodily strength every day, and one
morning soon he will be out with the
gossips upon the Champs Elys6es, or
at the barracks with those returned
from the front Then he will know,
and his disappointment will be the
harder to bear.

and yet confessed that she had not
