"Plon-Plon's" Scare to the French Re-
publicans-Views of the Press-The
Governments Mistake - FIouguet's
Motion Criticised.
PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE papers generally
approve the arrest of Prince Napoleon.
but nearly all Of them condemn the vote
of urgency in the Chamber of Deputies on
NJ. Flouquet's motion prohibiting the
presence in France or Algeria of any
member of former French dynasties.
The DebdtS says: ''The Chamber gave
proof of a lamentable simplicity and
panic"
Baron Brunei, Secretary to Prince Ma
poleOn, was allowed to accompany him to
prison.
The 1elegrdphe to-day says the govern
ment Intends to introduce in the Cham
bers bill settling the position of the pre-
tenders to the French throne.
The Pays characterizes the issuance of
Prince JerOme's manifesto as an act of
stupidity. 1t says that few Bonapartists
are identified with the burlesque incident.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Times SAYS
''Prince Napoleon was arrested under the
article of penal code entailing trans
pOrtation, which can be reduced to exile.
BY the constitution the Senate can be con-
zance OF outrages against the safety of the
State. Such a court would be certain to
condemn the Prince"
A dispatch from Paris saws: "The
French Government has been guilty of the
greatest blunder possible in arresting
Prince Napoleon. 1t would have been
wiser for the government to have ignored
his manifesto or to have simply conducted
him to the frontier. The offending placards
DrintnH Of
butf-cOl0red paper. The manifesto has
caused a great sensation. The evening pa
pers of all shade of politics reproduced
it, and the majority of them printed lead
ing articles on the subject. The Bona
partist members of the Chamber of Depu-
ties have held meeting and decided to
protest by every means in their power
against the action of the government in
arresting Prince Napoleon. Meanwhile
the Prince although kept strictly seclud-
ed, is treated otherwise with the utmost
consideration at the cOnciergerie.
eff NJ. FlOuquets motion in the Cham
Der of Deputies be adopted not only
Prince Jerome but Prince Victor, who is
now serving with his battery at Orleans,
and Prince LOUIS, who is residing in Paris
will also be eXiled. The BOnapartists will
once more form a compact body, which in
future must be taken into account"
A dispatch to the NelCS from Paris SAYS
'Prince JerOme's manifesto was placarded
in the provinces and also in the Faubourg
Saint Antoine, at the Halles and at Belle
vile. Some OfthOse who read it tore it down,
while others laughed contemptuOusly. 1t
is estimated that 5000 bills were posted
Twenty-siX bill posters were arrested
while posting the bills, eleven of them on
the denunciatiOn of wOrkmen. They
were released after giving their names
and addresses
At Cabinet meeting NJ. Fallieres, Min
lister of the Interior, said that under the
press law he thought nothing could be
done.
There was nothing technical seditious
in the document. The other Ministers fa-
vOred immediate action, and it was finally
agreed to arrest Prince jerome. Many
dispatches have arrived from the prov
inces encouraging the Ministers to act en-
ergetically.
At the moment of his arrest Prince
Jerome had just returned from a walk
with four friends, being decorated with
the grand cross of the Legion OF Honor.
The arrest warrant was signed by the
First President of the Court of Appeals.
In the Chamber of Deputies NJ. .CuneO
DOrmanO stated that he would placard
the manifesto in his department. Many
members thought the vote eXpelling the
members of former dynasties went be-
yond the necessity, and that it would be
sufficient to arm the government with
power to eXpel the princes at their dis
erection. 1t now appears that the mani
festO was agreed upon on the day after
Gambetta's funeral, the national charac-
ter of which impressed Prince jerome
with the idea that the people, in their
worship of Gambetta, were hOnOring the
Bonapartists withoutknowing it. AS there
was no Republican who could succeed
Gambetta, who was buried with more
than royal state, Prince Jerome thought
that only a member of the sovereign family
coul fill the void. 1t is supposed that the
manifesto was printed in a town where
the lmperlalists prevail among the artisan
class, and that they were sent to different
agents i'll the quarters of the city where it
was posted.
Georges Lachaud is said to have been
the intermediary between Prince Jerome
and the Figaro. The letter was not
seized, but many news venders, fearing
seizere, hid it, and sold it only to known
customers. The followers of Prince Vic
tor condemn and NJ. ROuher approves the
manifesto. The BOnapartist Deputies
hope that Prince Jerome will be treated
harshly in Jail, as he might become popu-
lar if treated as martyr.
A dispatch from Paris says: 'EThe ap-
pearance of Prince Jerome's manifesto is
regarded by some as a march stolen on the
Legitimists, for it was known that Count
De Chambourd, impelled by his sup
pOrters, was preparing a manifesto.
Eighteen thousand placards had been
printed with the greatest secrecy. Baron
Brunei asked to be arrested as an acces-
sorry to the prOmulgation of the manifesto,
but the Magistrate refused to take him
into custody. Reports from the provinces
state that the news of the arrest of Prince
jerome has created no great sensation.
