visits to the leading anarchists and Catho-
lies.
Early this morning Inspector Blot pro-
ceeded to the offices Of La Crcir. a Catholic

M. G~riffuelhes declared that M. Clemen-
ceau, Minister Of the Interior, was simply
working an electoral dodge, which would
deceive no one. He wished to create the

Paris and will be made elsewhere on the
order of the examining Magistrate Of
Douai, who is intrusted with the judicial
INQUIRIES relative to the disturbances in

Calais. The Magistrate has obtained con-
vinoing evidence that these disturbances
were not simply labor troubles.
"They were the result of a plot in which
imperialists, royalists and revolutionary
anarchists had combined. That is the
truth. The object which the reactionists
and revolutionists had in view was to in
iuence the elections on Mayo

Of trying to overturn the republic, and in
reply to a question whether those implicated
in the plot would be arraigned before the
