June 25. political circles were convulsed throughout the week over the parliamentary Investigation Into the Charles' that the Grand Chartreuse mlUlqns were used In an attempt to corrupt leading personages. The affair thieatened to cause a greater upheaval than the Dreyfus, Panama, or Humbert affairs. The government stood aghast at hearing the names of chief officers of the government connected with the transaction. It Is generally believed that the fa'l of the Combes ministry had finally some and K was asserted that its fall would wreck the reputations of many persons prominent In the government.

Official dispatches from Tan gier show that the dip, oatic plans which Foreign Minister Delcasse set In motion were responsible for the thin! liberation of the prisoners. These plans did not contemplate threats or the use of force, but appealed to the powerful influence of ,the Sheiefas Mouley All end Mouley Ahmed, who headed the escort sent to bring the prisoners to Tangier. Moreover, France practically furnished the money from which the ransom was paid as the recent French loan of 12,E00,000 gave the sultan the means to meet Ralsull's demand for 170,000 ransom. Washington, D. C, June 26. The state department does not contemplate any reclamations ' upon the Moorish government on account of the Perdl carls incident. In its view that gov ernment has suffered so severely both from a financial point and in national humiliation through Its compliance with the demand of Secretary Hay that the captives be released and as It appears by all accounts. Including that of Perdlcarls himself as set down in his letters that he did not suffer undue hardship, that he was treated with kindness and consideration by RalHUlt and that he has no ill feeling toward that, to him, agreeable bandit, no sufficient reason exists why any further demands should be made upon the sultan of Morocco, either for In demnity or the punishment of the kid nappers.
