BAYONETS TO BRISTLE
EXTRAORDINARY PRECAUTIONS TO
PREVENT ANTICIPATED At
TACK UPON M. LOUBET
UNHAPPY FRANCES PLIGHT

Reminders of the Days of. Barri-
cades and Political Intrigues
That Terminated in Revolutions
and Eventually the Downfall of
Royalty, Which Is Now Credited
With Instigating the Agitation.
PARIS, June 9.-President Loubet's
route next Sunday from the Elysee palace
to Lcngchamps will be lined with squads
of police. Through the Bois de Boulogne
the police will be strengthened by mount

M Francis Giuseppe has advised the
members of the Patriotic league not to
attend the Grand .Prix.-
The Gaulois, the leading conservative
and royalist organ, commenting upon the
Socialists threat to cause trouble, says:
Under the conditions it will be OUT
Of the question to take ladies to Long
champs. therefore we advise our readers
to stay at home''

Prtx will lose much Of its picturesque
ness.
One Of the sporting papers asserts that
several of the principal owners intend to
scratch their horses entered for the
Grand Prix, but 1t is believed that this
report is premature, and that the at
tempts Of the titled world in this direc-
ton have been in vain.
The presidents stand at Longchamps Is
much stronger and more inaccessible than
the Auteuil stand. 1t was constructed
forty years ago on plans Of Duo de Morny
who, accustomed to the dangers of pop
ular agitation, had an eye to possible at
tempts on the life of Louis Napoleon
during the races.
] Gen. Baud, chief of the presidents mil
ttary household, Comma adant Lamay, M
{. Pupuy and the prefeet of police have
thoroughly inspected the whole ground to
arrange preventive measures.
The .Longehamps stewards believe every
thing will pass off quietly, but the anar-
chists still declare their intention of DEM
onstrating in favor of M. Loubet, not
because they care for him personally, but
because the republic must be defended
against the reactionaries"
The Radical papers urge Parisians to
arm themselves with bludgeons, to chas-
tise the noblemen, if the latter insult the
president. 1t is believed, however, that
nothing will happen beyond a monster
demonstration in favor of NJ Loubet.
The Paris shopkeepers are complaining
bitterly over the threatening Grand Prix
week. Naturally ladies are reluctant to
prepare toilettes in the face of the threat
ened storm
The government is doing its utmost to
allay excitement and prepare for the re-
ception of Capt Dreyfus It Is said he
will disembark at Brest. Yet Picquart's
release is due to the fact that the German
foreign Office informed the authorities
that Col. Schwarzkopfen wrote the petit
bleu, and, therefore 1t was impossible
that Picquart could have forged it.
