 They Were Followed.
 When the two Americans first arrived in Quebec they were followed by two men, also from the United States who registered at the Chateau Frontenac. Their movements led the hotel employees to believe that they were detectives sent here to watch Green and Gaynor. It now develops that one of these men is Detec- tive Burke of Florida.
 This morning MT. McAllister, promi- nent lawyer of Montreal, who, it is ru- mored, is engaged by the prosecution, arrived here by boat from Montreal. On the same boat with him were six detec- tives including Chef Carpenter of Mon 
 their arrival by Detective Burke.
 At 10:3O a well-dressed man engaged cabman and instructed him to wait near the postohice. Soon afterward Burke, with another cab. arrived. Burke and two other men who came up walked to- ward the Chateau Frontenac, which is nearby. In the meantime MT Green, who had entered the postoffice. as Is his daily custom came out of the main door. Two strangers who had been in waiting in stcre nearby crossed the street, and one of them, placing his hand on Greens shoulder, pulled a document from his pocket and asked him to enter the first cab Green was heard to say: Wait minute, until I see a friend" but this was denied him, and the three detectives and Green entered the cab and were driven to the wharf.
 Col. Gaynor Arrested.
 While the arrest of Green was being accomplished Burke and the other detec- lives went to the Chateau Frontenac. Col Gaynor was standing at the clerks desk when they entered. The three de- tectives walked up to Gaynor, taking hold of his right arm and the other his left while Burke produced a legal paper. Colonel Gaynor asked permission to get his overcoat but he not permitted to do so and the four hurried out to the cab and started TOT the WnaTI at a raplO pace. These proceedings occupied about twen- ty minutes.
 Half an hour after the departure of the Spray another tug was engaged by Mrs. Gaynor. She went on board with the others The pursuit of the Spray was afterwards given up at Cape Rouge, eight miles from the city. The Spray was then almost out of sight down the river.
 Upon the return of Mrs. Gaynor to the city the lawyers in the case had short consultation with her and immediately two petitions for habeas corpus ordering the return of Gaynor and Green to this city were prepared and two orders were signed to that effect by Judge Andrews in the supreme court. In the meantime, four members of the provincial police left by the 1:15 D. m. Canadian Pacific railroad train for Three Rivers with. orders to secure a tug there and try to intercept the Spray The latter town is ninety miles from Quebec and half way between here and Montreal.
 The petitions were sworn to by Mrs Gaynor, who alleges that her husband and Green were taken away against their consent and without giving them time to see their counsel or take legal meas- ures to prevent their arrest While the petitions were being prepared a special train was ordered over the Canadian Paci- fe railroad and at $50 the chase began On the train are MeSsrs' Sdhhoh anu Chauveau, attorneys in the case, who are bearers of the petition; High Constable Gale and eight detectives.
 The Kidnapping and subsequent arrest of Gaynor and Green at Quebec was the result of a carefuly-laid plan of Chief Wilkie of the secret service. It was de- nied that the department had sent men to apprehend the fugitives, but it was late- learned that Inspectors Bennett Burke Taylor and three others had been assigned to the case The capture was planned to come off yesterday and the department had been looking for news of their arrest all day. Even now the secret service officials will not admit the re reipt of any advices, but it'is known the whole arrangements were perfectly car- lied out, even to the issuance of the war bast> hy the judge on the application of
