THE DUKES LETTER SEIZED BY
THE POLICE.
Messenger from Brussels Captured
With Valise Full of discriminating
Documents-Est at Work.

NEW YORK, February ga Suns
cable from Paris says: The Govern
ment's energetic policy in hunting
down conspirators against the Repub-
lie was today rewarded by the dis
covery of a mass of important evidence
exposing a wide spread plot of which
the Duke of Orleans is the head. Early
this morning eighteen squads, acting
under the Project of Police, appeared
simultaneously at as many addresses
in Paris and searched the quarters of
suspected individuals and organiza-
tions. At the house of NJ. de Monicor,
in the Rue de Constantinople, detec-
tives surprised messenger from the
Duke of Orleans. who had just mo-
ment before arrived from Brussels
with a valise filled with papers. includ-
ing a number of letters from the Duke
giving instructions to his followers.
These and other documents were
seized. The police also raided the
Headquarters of the Anti-Semitic
League. where they found many pack
ages of documents in the hall ready
for removal. The documents include
letters from that precious patriot Es-
terhazy and other individuals, which
disclose a seditious plan.
Dispatches from Brussels state that
the Duke of Orleans has left that city,
Before his departure he announced
that he had abandoned for the mo-
ment his intention to enter France.
He declared that Deroulede destroyed
for the time being the opportunity for
| restoration of the Monarchy.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-05-18

The customs authorities are watch
ing an interesting experiment now be-
ing made in the United States bonded
stores to restore the commercial value
of 146 cases of champagne which was
frozen during the blizzard in railroad
cars while being transported in bond
from New York to Philadelphia. The
wine came on the French steamship La
Bretagne from Havre to New York. and
was consigned to well-known club in
this city. AS rule, experts state that
frozen champagne should be consumed
at once or it is valueless. As this could
not be done in this case, the wine was
stored in the warm cellars of the bond
ed stores, which are below the surface
of the earth, and where there is always
a uniform temperature. 1t was noticed
that there was a deposit of cream of
tartar in the bottles, which, the gov
eminent officials think, if gradually dis
solved in the warm temperature of the
bonded stores, will restore the wine to
its former value.-Philadelph Record.
