cell -Habert seeking to attain their ends
by the union of rioters and troops in
the streets
The Anti-Semitic League, it was also
claimed, has joined the insurrectional
organization, wherewitn are associated
alists League and the Anti-Semitic
Youth, has as a mission the propa-
ganda in the provinces of the revolu-
tionary movement.
M. Duboc, it was further charged, is
the link between the Anti-Semite and
Patriotic Leagues.
The indictment then gave a few par.
ticulars of the provincial organization
Referring to the Royalist League, 1t
said it was worthy of attention be-
cause, though the idea of monarchie
restoration appeared inconceivable, IL
had played a preDonderant ~ale in the
recent events, it's .eader being the Duke
of Orleans himself, and it's managers
his accredited representatives. All the
league, it was asserted, seek to change
the form of government by street rls-
ings.
A letter from the Duke of Orleans
to his representative, M. Buffet, writ
ten from Marienbad in July, 1886, in
Structing him to commence a Royal
list organization, was read, and then
other secret instructions, in which 1t
was stipulated that the sum to be spent
was not to exceed 300 900 francs, were
read.
The mention of this figure evoked
laughter from the Senators and others
present.
Three hundred thousand francs
would be cheap" was the reply heard
from the press gallery.
M. Fallieries tapped for silence, and
NJ Bernard continued to review the
Royalist agitation at the end OF 1898,
showing that M. Buffet, on October
24th and October 25th, telegraphed In
code to the Duke of Orleans, who was
then in Bohemia, to come to the 'front.'
ier, October 25th being the date of the
anti-Semitic and Royalist disturbances
on the Place de Concorde. On Decem-
ber 18th there were further disorders,
a mob marching ON the Cherche Midi
Prison, crying 'FVive lie Due d'Orleans.

leans:
Success this time: 1000 demonstra-
tors; police stopped them, but will re-
commence"
This Royalist outing, it appears
aroused the jealousy of the other
parties, and M. Buffet wired to tn
Duke of Orleans that he feared til
Bonapartists were also contemplating
action.
The Indictment proceeded with the
recapitulation of the Royalist man
euvers, and declared the Royalists led
| and paid a mob to insult President
Loubet on the day of his election.
| Letters seized at the residence of M.
! Chevilly showed that the funds were
! becoming exhausted by February, 1873
! and promises of money, mostly from
| ladies, were found in the correspond
/ ence.
The culninary event Of the Royalist
/ conspiracy was reached February 23d
when NJ De Roulede made his notorl-
| Gus attempt on the Place de la Nation
| to induce a brigade of infantry to
march on the Elysee Palace. Every
thing, it seems, was prepared to carry
| out the Royalist plan that day, but
| Nj. De Roulede's failure spoiled all,
| and the Duke of Orleans. who was
awaiting at Brussels the signal to come
to Paris, received instead a telegram
from NJ. Buffet, saying:
Useless to come. Send you further
news tomorrow"
The Duke of Orleans then wanted to
go further away, and the fact that the
Royalists wished to carry out their
! conspiracy if possible was shown In
teIt gram which NJ. Buffet sent him,
begging him TO remain, ''as the Govern
ment did not know what TO do with NJ.
de Roulede.'
Continuing, the indictment then ex-
planned that the conspiracy was not
! abandoned with the failure of Febru-
ary 23d. but that the Vaccinations con-
tinued in secret, and public meetings
were continually held. NJ. De Roulede
and Marcel -Habert, in July at st. Cloud
and in the Theater de la Republique,
Paris, outlined the plans still existing
for the overthrow of the parliamentary
regime by a mob uprising, aided by
several chiefs of the army and troops
on whom they could count.
The Indictment evoked frequent out
bursts Of derisive laughter and ironical
comment at the expense of the Royal
I lists, especially on the reading of the
4 various kilograms exchanged and the
! failure of the plots.
At the conclusion of the reading OF
| the indictment NJ. Bernard and his col
! leagues left the Senate, and NJ Fal-
/ lieries ordered the Senators to sit be-
hind closed doors.
! The Senate. at p. M, was still de-
liberating. It was then understood the
Senators had agreed to grant the appli-
cation that the prisoners be represented
before the parliamentary inquiry by
counsel This was a point the prison
ers considered most important to them
The Senators then discussed whether
| they were competent to sit as a High
Court and try the case.
Several papers to-day revived the
rumor that the Duke of Orleans is
shut up with NJ Guerin in Fort Cha
brol the headquarters of the anti-Se-
mite League. which has been besieged
since August 10Th. No definite state
ment was made to this effect, and the
papers merely limited that it might be
true, basing their idea on the statement
that the Duke of Orleans has not beer
heard from for more than month. The
same rumor on a previous occasion was
utterly discredited. Since then severa
persons have entered Fort Chabrol, and
have not seen the Duke. As a matter
