Mob Insulted President.
The Indictment proceeded with re-
capitulation of the royalist maneuvers.
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 NJ.
Chevilly showed that the funds were
becoming exhausted by February, 1899,
and promises of money, mostly from
| ladies, was found in the correspond
ence.
The CULINARY event of the royalist
conspiracy was reached Feb. %, when
NJ. de Rouede made his notorious at
| tempt on the Place de la Rationale to
! induce brigade of infantry to march
on the Elysee palace. Everything, 1t
seems, was prepared to carry out the
royalist plan that day, but NJ. de Rou-
lede'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. But
| fet, 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-
I Spiracy, if possible, was shown in q
telegram which NJ. Buffet sent him,
begging him to remain, ''as the govern
ment did not know what to do with NJ.
Roulede."
Continuing, the indictment then ex-
planned the conspiracy was not aban-
doned with the failure of Feb. %, but
that the Vaccinations continued in Sc
cret, and public meetings were contin-
ually held. NM. de Roulede and Mar
cel-Habert in July, at st. Cloud and in
the Theatre de la Republique, Paris,
outlined the plans still existing for the
overthrow of the parliamentary re-
gime by a mob uprising, aided by sew.
eral chiefs of the army and troops on
whom they could count.
Outbursts of Laughter.
The Indictment evoked frequent out
bursts of derisive laughter and ironical
comment at 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 Nj.
Bernard and his colleagues left the
senate, and NJ. Fallieres ordered the
senator's to sit behind closed doors.
The senate, at p. M, was still de-
liberating. 1t was then understood the
senators had agreed to grant the appli-
cation that the prisoners be represent
ed before the parliamentary inquiry by
counsel. This was point the prisoners
considered most important to them. The
senators then discussed whether they
were competent to sit as high court
and try the case.
Several papers today revived the ru-
NOR that the Duke or Orleans is shut
up with M. Guerin in Fort Chabrol 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 it might be true,
basing their idea on the statement that
the Duke of Orleans has not been heard
from for more than a month. The same
rumor on a previous occasion was ut
persons have entered Fort Chabrol and
have not seen the duke. AS matter of
fact, the Duke of Orleans has been
heard from several times.
Whereabouts of the Duke.
The Due de Luyones, one of his init
mate friends said on Aug. 80 that the
Duke of Orleans 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 vigorous precautions were
taken for the safety of the senate
building this afternoon 1t was cor
doned by police, who were stationed
every few yards, while every gate lead
ing to the Luxembourg palace was
guarded by detachment of municipal
guards. Nobody was allowed to enter
the court yard, or even remain in the
precincts of the palace without a card
of entry. Consequently a small crowd
witnessed the arrival of the senators,
who alighted from their carriages and
entered the palace without demonstra-
ton of any sort. except the raising of
hats by q few of the spectators. The
ticket holders, after crossing the main
court yard, had to traverse the dark
entrance hall, passing between double
row of stacked rifles, behind which,
barely distinguishable in the gloom,
were silent figures. a strong detach-
ment of the municipal guards in their
blue uniforms decorated with red cord
Ladies Were Present.
The ushers on the staircases repeat
edly examined the tickets. The public
and press galleries were crowded.
The former were chiefly occupied by
ladies. The senator's seats were well
filled. Many came especially from the
country. where they had been taking a
rest, to attend today's session. There
fore, it was decided that the usual
evening dress could be disposed of, and
| all the senators were in morning attire.
