 AGAINST GOVERNMENT.

 of Arms. ROyalfst.

Paris April 27.-The police adopted decisive measures this morning to ap- prehend the element which is fomenting disorders and capture the sources or US supplies. Early in the day a search was made of the headquarters or the confederation of labor and also or us fifty branches throughout the city. simultaneously the police searched the homes of a number of royalist sympa- thizers who were suspected of encour- aging disorder in the hope of efectlng a coup de'etat. The officers Of LaCroix, a reactionary paper were also search ed.
 Important papers 1t is understood were at the home of some of the royals ists.
 The search of the headquarters, of negative results.
 The searchers began quietly at 6 o'clock this morning. Assistant Chief of Detectives Blot and six men at first searched the offices of LaCroix, noted for having raised a popular subscrip- tion ostensibly in behalf of the suffer- CTS from the Courrieres mine satastro- phe, but, it Is asserted, the amount col- lected was forwarded to the bishop of Arras, who is supposed to be a royal ist.
 The flrmness of the government in making searches and gathering large military forces has led the executive committee of the Federation of Labor to consider the advisability of post poning the demonstration from May to June IS. The committee is holding secret sessions.
 The police and military precautions are not being abated. The general plan. as announced by the prefecture of police. is to have troops massed on the Concorde square, Republic square, Bourse square and the principal boule- wards and all points where 1t is pos- sible for crowds to gather.
 Six thousand police, 800 cavalry and 800 infantry have been detailed to guard the banks, railroad stations and the plants of the elecrtic, gas and wa ter companies. The formations of processions in columns is vigorously prohibited and all groups will imme- diately be dispersed.
 The Prefect of Police, M. Lepine, will take absolute control of the city, including authority over the troops which will act as reserves subject to his call
 The prefecture of police specifically denies having knowledge of any anar- chist's plot. It declares that public un- easiness is not warranted as the po- ice ana uAAdo oAC AAOiCAJ precautionary.
 A considerable element of the popu- lation, however, continues to be ner- vous and apprehensive.
 The decision to make domiciliary visits was taken at the instance of the court of Bethune which has been in- Vestigating the strike disturbances in the north of France. The magistrates of the various Paris districts were mo- titled last night and enjoined to main tain the greatest secrecy and to make the most minute search for papers re- fering not only to complicity in the strike agitation, but to conUsctipn with a secret society formed with tle Qb] ject of overthrowing the .ReH4rblie.'
 Among the houses Searcbsd were those of Count de LarsE3S N Bacontier, NJ Lemeroch and the Shop of d tailor named Maria. all suspected of being most active in the Royalist propagan- da; Count Durand de Beauregard, the Imperialst leader; Xavier Feullanta, former officer of the Imperial guard: Jacquies Piou, President of the Liberal League, NJ. Terheim and Grlffuelhes, secretaries of the Confederation of La Dor; NJ. Fromentine, wealthy anar- chist leader, and General Baron de Taradel.
 The latter was absent from Paris and therefore the search of his resi- dence was not completed. Besides the residences of the persons named, the police searched the apartments of many lmperialists monarchists. anarchists and agitators of lesser importance. The authorities will not disclose the results, but they intimate that their work has not been fruitless. the evident pur- pose being to establish the existence of d widespread plot
 The Nationalist organs deride the plot as being an electioneering device.
