es of the Due d'Orleans the Orleanist
pretender, recently delivered at San
Reno, and the seizure of scarf pins and
medals bearing the pretender's portrait,
the prefect Of police was ordered by the
government to make strict investigation
into the recent proceedings Of the Mon
archist party.
Saturday evening the prefect communi-
Gated the result of his inquiries to NJ
Dupuy, premier and minister OF the in
terror, with the result that the minister
decided upon vigorous action.
At midnight NJ. Cochefort, chief OF the
secret police, was summoned to the pre-
lecture and directed to prepare II war
rants authorizing a search of the resi-
dences Of the suspects, particularly NJ
Guerine, manager of the newspaper
Anti-Juif; Messrs. Devaux, Buffet, Rob
ert De Chavilly, Thiebaud, De Moni-
court, secretary to the Due dOrleans
Dubus, president of the Young Anti
Semites, and Comte Sabran de Pontoves
No incident occurred in the course Of
the domiciliary visits. Yesterday NJ
Buffet, who represents the Due dor
leans, vigorously protested against the
violation of his domicile, and declared
that the ROyalist party would always
conspire, even il threatened with i'm
prisOnment Many documents were
seized at NJ. Buffetts residence.
Quantities of propagandist pamphlets
and portraits of the Due d'Orleans, q
list of members of the Royalist com
mittee and vOluminOus correspondence
were seized at the headquarters of the
Royalist committee, in the Fauborg st.
HOnOre and at the residence of COmte
Sabrand de fonteves. The commissary
who visited NJ. De Monicourt surprised
him just as he had returned from Brus-
sells with letters from the Due d'Orleans
addressed to Royalist persOnages and in
structions from the pretender to his sup
porters. All these were seized.
Nj. Thiebaud expressed surprise at the
proceedings against him, on the ground
that he belonged neither to the Roy
alist 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 compromis-
ing documents, but it is believed the
raids will be continued.
In consequence of an announcement
that demonstrations were intended to be
made at the Vendome column 80 agents
Of the police were posted in the vicinity
Yesterday. About clock a number Of
people began to arrive with boquets of
violets. Five who threw flowers within
the railing surrounding the column were
promptly placed under arrest, though re-
leased soon after on giving their names
and addresses to the police Hence
forth demonstrators will be allowed to
promenade with emblems, but not to ap.
proach the. column.
The advocates of Dreyfus revision, on
the one hand, are trying to exaggerate
the Importance of NJ. Deroulede's ac-
ton in calling upon General Roget to
march on the Elysee, while the Anti
Revisionists are doing all in their power
to minimize it. NJ. Derouede himself
wants to be tried by the senate, and
therefore is making the most of his ex-
plot. He knows that a summary dis
posal Of the case before a magistrate
would give him no chance to pose as a
hero.
According to dispatches from Brussels
the Due d'Oreans is greatly annoyed at
the result of DerOulede's horseplay,
which, in the dukes opinion, has seri-
Ously compromised any attempt at mon
archial restoration. Therefore, he left
for Turin in a huff. Prince Victor Ma
poleon, the Bonapartist pretender, who is
still in Brussels is reported as much
pleased with the departure of his rival,
and as remarking that the latter's con-
lede's.
