LONDON, April 29.-(special to The Bee)
1T is possible that England may enter
upon a crusade against Mormon propo-
gandAsts. provided that Germany and Aus
trla cooperate.
Thu police headquarters in the principal
towns and cities throughout the kingdom
have received special instructions from the
homa office to ascertain and report all
available facts regarding Mormon propa-
ganda and Mormon activities in their re-
spective districts. The home secretary has
also communicated with the British en-
basIies and legations in continental CAPT
tails for information regarding the manner
in which Mormon missionaries are dealt
with in other countries.
There are said to be several hundred
Mormon missionaries in this country, forty
Of whom are In this city, according to the
Rev. Z. b. Scott. vicar of st. Peters South
Tottenham, whose residence is near the
new "Deseret," Mormon headquarters
''1'he Mormon missionaries" said Mr.
Scott, have been very active in the neigh
borhood. On Saturday nights they may be
seen here in the road preaching outside
the Catholic church. In their house toulouse
visits. they generally work in pairs. When
ever possible. they make a point OF calling

house are at work. and only the women
at home.
''The wife, daughter or maid, as the case
may be, answers the door to find herself

she will accept a tract. A scrutiny of the
leaflets proves them to be innocent affairs
despite their faulty theology.
1.-THE visit is merely prelude to others
at discreet intervals. Not a word is mem
toned. however, about polygamy.
Before long the sister is informed that
little devotional meeting. with light re-
freshments afterwards. will be held at
Deseret on certain night. She is cor
daily invited to attend. So the attempt to
convert her is gradually extended"
~, MOrmOns' Side.
Elder w. p. Monsoon who is the head OF
the new 'Deseret." the present Mormon
headquarters, Tottenham. declared that
the allegations against the Mormons were
false from beginning to end"
'Poygamy," said the elder has neither
been preached nor practiced in Utah since
1890. Any man proved guilty OF such doc
trines or practices would be instantly ex-
communicated by the Church of Latter
/ Day Saints
81 do not say that there may not have
been isolated exceptions TO monogamy just
as there are in England, but do deny
vigorously that these are countenanced by
our church In any shape or form. 1t is
equally untrue that we pay a single far
thing 10 assist any man. woman or child
10 emigrate TO Utah. Rather than that
we would prefer that they remain in Eng
land"
Tidal Wave UncOVers Coins.
A remarkable tide at Thorpness Aide
burgh washed away 100000 tons Of sand
and washed out OF the sands hundreds OF
coins, gold. silver and bronze dating from
early Saxon times, antique bronze rings
and ornaments, and an old bronze bag
clasp. On the coast here stood Dunwich, a
Saxon city. One by one five of its churches
were undermined by the waves. and today
only one remains. a melancholy ruin, with
fragment OF a monastery and the re-
mains OF leper hospital. Ships. harbor
