PICQUART Is OUT OF JAIL
Rigorous Measures VIII be Taken to
Preserve Order at Long Champs

I
| Preserve Order at Long Champs
| Paris, June 9.-Lieutenant Colonel Pic
| quart has been Professionally released from
| custody, When it became known that the
| order for the release of Picquart had been
| issued, VI. Case, mayor of Vile D'Avray
| and the prisoners brother-in-law, and NJ
! Hid, Maitre Ia Boris, secretary, proceeded
| to the prison La Sante and met Picquart,
who was released about 8 O'Clock, and pro-
ceeded TO the residence of VI. Case. Lieu
tenant Colonel Picquart was imprisoned
in July discharged with communicating
confidential documents. and he has since
been accused of fabricating a document
intended to compromise Major Count Es-
terhazy.
IA cabinet meeting he'd this morning
the premier, NJ. Dupuy, and the minister
| of war, NJ Krantz, announced that Gen
eral ZZurlinden, the military governor Of
Paris, and the project of police, NJ. Blanc
had adopted rigorous measures to pre-
serve order at Long Champs, on Sunday
next, on the occasion Of President Loubet's
visit to that place in order to witness the
race for the Grand Prix de Paris.
NJ. LIE MERCER, the magistrate who has
been examining the persons arrested at
Auteuil on Sunday last, in connection with
the attack upon President Loubet, today
ordered Baron Christiani TO be tried before
a police court.
Paris, June 10.-President Loubet's route
next Sunday, from the Elysee Palace TO
Long Champs, will be lined with squads
of police. Through the Bots de Boulogue
the police will be strengthened by mounted
cr1Ja ,lc Ia ri iutS of
vantage in the wood being occupied by
the military. Between the grand-stands
several companies of infantry will be held
in readiness to appear at a moments no
tice, and the way from the paddock to the
presidents box will be lined with files of
the repu bican guards with fixed bayOnets.
Behind the soldiers VIII be hundreds of
detectives under the personal command of
the project of police of Paris. Cavalry
will be placed in readiness to gallop along
the course.
The GauIois, the leading Conservative
and Royalist organ, commenting upon the
Socialist threat TO cause trouble. says:
Under these conditions it will be out Of
the question TO take lsdies to Long
Champs, and therefore we advise our read
ers TO stay at home"
If this advice is followed the Grand Prix
will lose much of its picturesqueness. One
of the sporting papers asserts that several
of the principal owners intend to scratch
their horses from the Grand Prix. But it
is believed that this report is premature
and that the attempts Of the titled world
in this direction have been in vain.
The presidential stand at Long Champs
is much stronger and less accessible than
the Auteuil stand. It was constructed
forty years ago, on plans of Due De Mon
~, who, accustomed to the dangers of
popular agitation, had an eye to possible
attempts on the life of Louis Napoleon
during the races. General Ballots. chief of
the presidents military household; Com
mandant Lamy, NJ. Dupuy and the pre-
feet of police have thoroughly inspected
the whole ground to arrange preventive
measures.
La Liberte considers the running OF the
Grand Prix as a fashionable event this
year completely comprised. The Long
Champs stewards believe everything Will
pass off quietly. but the anarchists still
declare their intention Of demonstrating IN
favor Of VI. Loubet not because they care
for him personally, but because the re-
public must be defended against the re-
actionaries" The radical papers urge
Parisians to arm themselves with bud
reons to chastise the noblemen If the lat

The Paris shopkeepers are complaining
bitterly over poor Grand Prix week.
Naturally. ladies are reluctant 20 indulge
in brilliant toilettes IN the face OF the

Lieutenant Picquart. In reply 70 the re-
