Monarchic Restoration.
The indictment then gave few par
ticulars Of the provincial organization.
Referring to the royalist league, 1t said
1t was worthy of attention because,
though the idea of monarchic restor-
alton appeared inconceiveable, 1t had
played preponderant role in the re-
cent events. its leader being the Duke
of Orleans himself. All the leagues, 1t
was asserted, seek to change the form
of government by street risings.
A letter from the Duke of Orleans
to his representative, NJ. Buffet, writ
ten from Mierenbaden in 1896. instruct
ing him to commence royalist organ
ization, was read and then other secret
instructions, in which 1t was stipulat-
ed that the sum to be spent was not to
exceed 100000 francs. The mention Of
this figure evoked laughter from the
senators and other representatives
present.
THE 100000 francs would be cheap"
was the remark heard from the press
gallery.
Fallieres tapped for silence and M.
Bernard continued to review the royal
ist agitation at the end of 1898, show
ing that M. Buffet, Oct. "a and 26, tele-
graphed in code to the Duke of Or
leans, who was then in Bohemia to
come to the frontier, Oct 25, being the
date of the antiSemitic and royalist
disturbance on the Place de la Con-
corde. On Dec. u there was further
disorder, a mob marching on the
Cherche Midi prison crying "Vive lie
Due d'Orleans' The police stopped the
mob, but M. Cheivilly wired to the
Duke of Orleans:
Success this time, 1000 demonstra-
tors. Police stopped them, but will re-
commence"
The Culmin alton.
The culminary event of the royalist
conspiracy was reached Nov. 23 NJ.
de Roulede made his notorious at
tempt on the Place de la Nationale to
induce a brigade of infantry to march
on the Elysee palace. Everything it
seems, was prepared to carry out the
royalist plan that day, but M. de Roul-
ede's failure spoiled all and the Duke
of Orleans, who was awaiting at Brus-
sells the signal to come to Paris, re-
ceived instead a telegram from M.
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 con-
spiracy if possible was shown in a tele-
gram which NJ. Buffet sent him, begging
him to remain 'as the government
did not know what to do with M. De-
roulede." Continuing, the indictment
then explained that the conspiracy
was not abandoned with the failure of
Nov %, but that the Vaccinations
continued in secret and public meet
ings were continually held. M. De-
roulede and Marcel Habert in July, at
ST. Cloud, and in the Theater de la Re-
MI opie cfi
existing, for the overthrow of the par
liamentary regime by 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 al the expense of the royal
lists, especially on the reading of the
various kilograms exchanged and the
failure of the plots. At the conclusion
of the reading of the Indictment M.
Bernard and his colleagues left the SEN
ate, and NJ. Fallieres ordered the sem
ators to sit behind closed doors.
The senate at p. m. was still delib-
Grating. 1t was then understood the
senators had agreed to grant the ap-
plication that the prisoners be repre-
sented before the parliamentary in
quiry by counsel. This was point the
prisoners considered most important to
them
Inc senators Inen discussed WneInPF
they were competent to sit as hign
court and try the case.
Is He With Guerin?
Several papers to-day revived the ru-
NOR that the Duke of Orleans is shut
ep with M. Guerin in FIT. Chambror the
headquarters OF the anti-Semitic league
which has been besieged Since Aug. II.
No definite statement was made to this
effect, and the papers merely limited
that 1t might be true, basing their idea
on the statement that the Duke of Or
leans has not been heard from for more
than a month. The same rumor on a
previous occasion was utterly discred-
tied. Since then several persons have
entered Fort Chambrol and have not
seen the duke. AS a matter of fact the
Duke of Orleans has been heard of sew
eral times. One of his intimate friends
said on Aug. 30 that the Duke of Or
leans was in Austria. The silence of
the royalist pretender at this stage is
not surprising and is not taken to be
any ground for supposing him to be
with Guerin.
The most rigorous precautions were
taken for the safety of the senate
building this afternoon. 1t was cord
oned by police, who were stationed
every few yards, while every gate lead
ing to the Luxembourg palace was
guarded by a detachment of municipal
guards. Nobody was allowed to enter
the court yard or even remain in the
precincts of the place without
card of entry. Consequently
small crowd witnessed the
arrival of the senators, who alight-
ed from, their carriages and entered the
palace without demonstration of any
sort except the raising of hats by a few
of the spectators. The ticket holders
after crossing the main courtyard had
to traverse the dark entrance hall,
passing between a double row of stack
ed rifles, behind which, barely dis
tinguishable in the gloom, We're silent
figures, a strong detachment of mu-
nicipal guards in their blue uniforms
decorated with red cord.
The ushers on the staircases repeated
ly examined the tickets. The public
| and press galleries were crowded. The
former We're chiefly occupied by ladies.
