to be royalist coup, modelled after Louis
Napoleon's mad descent upon Boulogne,
and the only consequence is that the Duke
of Orleans eldest son, the Count of Paris,
is in custody tonight. The Duke arrived
in Paris to-day, bearing letter
written and signed by the Count de Paris,
encouraging to the faithful and to all
others since the Counts abduction. He
also had with him a manifesto addressed to
the people of France Nominally and &C
cording to the theory of the pretenders.
pretender is always king, and therefore
in virtue of his abdication all claims, rights
and titles descend to his eldest
son, the young gentleman now
in the hands of the authorities, Philippe
Louis Robert, Duke d'Orleans. This
gentleman is therefore not merely one of
many vagrant princes but an actual pre-
tender to the throne in virtue of his claims
as heir of the old Bourbon line. His com
ing into the country in violation of the
law banishing all heads and direct heirs OF
reigning families, is rash escapade if it
stands alone. The fact that he was
equipped with an appeal to the nation shows
his intention and may make the escapade
serious for him. If it should be developed
that this move is made in virtue of All
understanding with the partisans of the
monarchy in France it may be more than
mere violation of the law Of expulsion.
There is some reason to believe the move
ment is made in concert with more deter
mined opponents of the republic as the
Duke repaired Immediately to the house
of Duke de Luynes, present head OF the
family that has always adhered with I'M
compromising heroism to the old
monarchy. In that house the young gentle
men was king of France in theory. On
the day before February 6, the Duke
d'Orleans attained the age of twenty one.
The abdication of his father, the manifesto
and movements were all apparently
planned with regard to that date and in
order to electrify France with demon
stration that the fortunes of monarchy
were now in new hands; that the crown
now belonged on the head of preuX
chevalier who would dare something for il
} and not fold his hands in quiet corner
like another Chambord, but the govern
; ment was not caught mapping. 1t was
promptly informed of the presence of the
Duke in Paris and his whereabouts.
has not yet been developed how mucl
more may be known to the police but thu
facts on the surface were sufficient. Th
Duke was in France in violation of tn
law made purposely for excluding hi
father and himself as enemies to the re
public. This law has been reunited onl,
/ in favor of the Duke d'Aumale, therefor
the Duke d'Orleans was at once arreste
n at the house of the Duke de Luynes. H
was taken to the prefecture where hi
d identity was fixed beyond doubt al
where q process verbal of his viola
ton of the law was drawn up an
!. he was then detained at the conciergerit
u famous as place of detention for royalt
+ in distress. In the AFTERNOON he was al
i raigned before the military authorities {
u the central bureau. In response to the il
l, visit to France, he said that having a
= tanned his majority he had come to Franc
to place himself at the disposal {
the military authorities. This das
of audacity is regarded as
very happy stroke and is SUI
to make friends for him, for gallal
French boy who wants TO take his chance
. for the cOnScriptiOn is a somewhat unusu
u and captivating figure to appear in tt
daily news, but this did not touch the ser
e sibilities of the hard hearted authorize
- and M. Constans, minister of the interio
~ ordered the Duke to be held in custod,
y Further disposition of the case will,
- course, depend upon whether it is diseoy
cred that there was any plot or gener;
royalist movement behind this inc
dent Everybody in Paris remember
given moment ready to rise but said thu
Henry V. would not face the peril of pla
ing himself at their head. The people al
now asking themselves the questio
l. whether the young prince has now CON
: into the land of his fathers in response to
70 similar invitation. This is the only vie
4 in which his case has a serious face AsiG
from this it seems only mad boyis
prank. Nobody just now is likely to |
very fierce about the pranks of boy WI
1i is related to all the royal families In Eurol
VI and whose grandmother was of the hOu
5. of Mec1lenburg SchWerin.
IL The Duke of Orleans lately resided
Lausanne, Switzerland. He left there
company with the Duke de Luynes. 1t
said that none of his family was aware
81 his intention to enter France, and his far
4 lily is ignorant OF any plans he may ha
lg had, If other than those alleged by himse
al when in custody. 1t is also 1
y ported that he endeavored to enl
as a private soldier, but w
refused for some informality in the app
cation. He finally wrote polite letter
De Freycinet, to the effect that he had
intention to remain in Paris nor create a
lit from holding any rank in the arm
but was ambitious of the hor
of serving France as privs
soldier. Shortly after this he was
to rested. Contradictory stories are afloat
IN to all the details of the case, and parti,
I'm larly as to the report of the abdication
ry the Count de Paris This evening it
I'D positively denied that the Duke has any ST.
mt document or that the Count de Paris sigr
ne any abdication.
