after the Of Mr.. Purde and his brother the two
| Fnglshmen who were taken into custody at tho
| Auteui suspicion Of being pclpockes,
which arrest led to diplomatic rreSpondcncc. is
| likely TO result in tension between England and
France France refused TO make either rcparatiOn
apology for tho arrest Of the PurdeS but in this last
case IT IS believed that England VIII take such steps
| as will leave doubt TO her intentions in the mat
ter. The latest victim of the extraordinary vigilance

the company SAYING that he in bad ol0r with
the police and that ii would b. best for him 20 leave
Paris On the following Monday Dclmard started TO
visit Madame Eougeron for whom be was writing the
music for ballet which had been accepted for pro
duction at Vienna. As he entering Madame
RougerOns house he stopped mt the door by a
gendarmc. who seized him. chained his wrists and
hustled him into cab. The gendarme took him TO
the Prefecture of Police. where his request for an eX
plqnation was dsIcgared and he put Into a
wretchca cell! being confined there until the next
morning. lie was then taken 10 his lodgings. once
there, lie declined 10 move until warrant for his
arrest was shown asserting that he was n British
Embassy for protection.
Chief Detective Goron said he did not care a fig
for the British Embassy which would not dare to
interfere in the matter. Dcmard refused 10 move
whereupon lie struck in the face and knocked
down. Ills captors then took him back To the Pre-
lecture where part OF his clothing was taken from
him and he WINS again placed in filthy cell. Tine
next morning lie was examined ly Judge, VINO siid
he had proofs that Delmards presence in France was
