Paris, Feb. 26.-In consequences of thes
placarding throughout the city Of the
speech of the Due d dOrleans, the Onlean-
ist pretender, recently delivered at San
Reno, and the seizure of scarfpins ana
medals bearing the pretenders portrait.
the project of police was ordered by the
| government to make strict investiga-
ton into the recent proceedings OF the
monarchist party Last evening the
prefect communicated the result Of his
inquiries to M. Dupuy, premier ana
minister of the interior, with the result
that the minister decided upon Vigorous
action.
At midnight M. Cochefort, chief %
the secret police, was summoned to the
prefecture and directed to prepare sew
enteen confidential letters and seventeen
warrants, which were handed to seven~
teen police commissaries, authorizing
search of the residences Of suspects.
particularly M. Guerin, manager Of the
newspaper Anti-Juif; MN. Buffet, De-
Vaux, Robert DeChavilly, Thiebaud,
DeMonicourt, secretary to the DUO
d'Orleans; Dubuc, president OF the
Young anti-Semites, and Comte Sabran
DePontves. The confidential letters inI
dicated that the warrants aimed to dis
cover the existence Of any political ac-
tion on the part Of the anti-Semftic
league or it's relations with the royalist
and Bonapartist committees, or with
the other leagues. No incident occurred
in the course Of the visits. This morn-
ing M. Buffet, who represents the Duo
d'Orleans, vigorously protested against
the violation Of his domicile and declar.
ed that the royalist party would always
conspire, even if threatened with Inn
prisonment.
Many documents were seized at M
Buffet's residence. Quantities Of prop
agandist pamphlets and portraits OF the
Due d'Orleans, a list Of members Of the
royalist committee and voluminous cor
respondence were seized at the head
quarters of the royalist committee iii
the Faubhoug st. Honore and at the
residence of Comte Sabran DePontves.
The commissary who visited M. De-
Monicourt's residence surprised him
with letters from the DUO dOrleans ad-
dressed to royalist personages ana in
structions from the pretender to his
supporters. All these were seized. M. ss
Thiebaud expressed surprise at the pro-
ceedings against him, on the ground
that he belonged neither to the royalist
committee nor the anti-Semitic league.
Altogether a large quantity Of docu-
ments was secured and placed under
seal. All whose residences were search-
ed denied the possession of compounds
ing documents but 1t is believed thai
the raids will be continued. In conse-
quence of the announcement that raids
were intended to be made at the Ven
dome thirty agents Of the police were
posted in the vicinity to-day. About
three o'clock this afternoon people be-
gan to arrive with bouquets Of violets.
Five, who threw flowers within the rail-
ing surrounding the column, were
arrested, though released soon
on giving their names ana
addresses to the police. Henceforth
demonstrators will be allowed to prum-
enade with emblems, but not to ap-
proach the column.
