NIN A PRETENDER 1IN FRANCE, A Royalist Coup d'BEtat Nipped in the Bud. DUKE OF ORLEANS ARRESTED. The Son and SBuccessor of the Comte de Paris Captured With a Mo- narci il Manifesto in His Pocket, A Kash Youth, Pamis, Feb, 7.—By prompt action the gov- ernment today nipped 1o the bud what ap- parently was intended to be a royalist coup d'etat modelled after Louis Napoleon's mad descent upon Boulanger, and the only cons quence 18 that theduke of Orleans, the eldest son of the count of Paris, i8 tonight in custody. The duke arrived in Paris today, bearing a letter written and signed by the comte de Paris, unnounciug to the faithful and to all others the count’s abdication. He also had with him a manifesto addressed to the people of France. Nominally, aud accord- iug to the theory of the pretenders, a pretender 18 always a king, and therefore in virtue of the abdication all claims, rights and titles descend to his eldest son, the young gentleman now in the hands of the authoritics—Phillipe Louis Robert duc d'Orlcans, This eentleman, therefore, is not merely oue of the many vagrant princes, but is the actual pretender to the throne in virtue of his claims, and the heir of the old Bourbon line. His coming into the country in violation of the law banishing all heads and heirs of the reignivg family is a rash escapade if 1t stauds alone. The fact that be was equipped with un uppeal to the nation shows his intention, ana may wake the escape a serious one for him, 1f it shoula be developed that this move- ment 18 made in virtue of an understanding with the partisans of mouarchy in France 1t may be wore thun a mere violation of the law of expulsion, There 18 sowe reason to believe the movement is made in coucert with the determived opponents of the re- public, as the duke repaired immediately to the house of the duke of Lynes, the present head of the family that has always adhered with uncompromising heroism to the old monarchy. In that house tte young man was kiug of France in theory. Oun the day before, February 6, the duke d'Orleans attained the age of twenty- one. 'The abdication of his father, the manifesto und the movement were all uppar- ently planned with d to that date and in order to electri rance with a demon- tration that the fortunes of monarchy were now i new hands: that the crown now be- longed on the head of n preux chevalier who Pomm G U0 dare somathing for it and not fold his hauds in & quiet corner lhke another Cham- bord. But the government. was not caught napoing. It was promtly informed of the presence of the duke in Paris and of his ‘wherenbouts. It has not_yet been developed how much more may be known to the police, but the facts on the surface wero sufficient to prove that the duke was in France in violation of the law mado purposely for excluding bis father and imself s encmies of the republic. This law has been remitted only in favor of theduke @’ Aumale. Therefore the duke d'Orleans was at once arrested at the house of tho duke de Luynes, He was taken 1o the prefecture of police, where his ideotity was fixed beyond all doubt and where a proces verbal of his viola. tion oi the law was drawn up. He was then detained ut the Conciergerie, famous as the place of detention of royalty in distress, In the alternoon he was arraigned before the military authorities at the central bureau. In response to inquiries as to the object and the purpose of his visit to France tho young pretender said that having attainea Dis majority he had come to France to pluce himself at the disposal of the mili tary au:horities, This dash of audacity is regarded as @ very happy stroke and as sure to make friends for him, for the gallant French boy who wants to take his chances for couscription is a somewhat unusual and captivating figure. But this dia not touch the sensibilities of the hard hearted authori- ties, and M. Constaus, the minister of the in- terior, ordered that the duke be held in cus- tody. The further disposition of the case iil of course depend upon whether it is dis- overed that there was any plot for a general 10yalist movement behiad this incident. Everybody in Paris remembers that the royalists of France were at given moment ready to rise, but that Henry V. would not face tho peril of placing himself at their head. The people are now asking themselves the queation whether the young prince has now come into the land of his futhers in re- sporse to a similar invitation. This is the view in which the case has a serious face. Aside from this seems only a mad, boyish prank. Nobody just now is likely to be very fierce about the prank of a boy who is re- lated to all the royal families in Europe and whose grandmother was of the house of Meocklenburg-Schwerin. Contradiciory reports are afloat as to all the details of the case and particularly as to thereport of the abdication of the Comte de Paris. This evening it is positively denied that the duke has issued any wanifesto or that the Comte de Paris sigued any act of abdication, ——— ANOTHEK ACUOUNT, ne Young Prince Bound to B a Sol- dier of France. [Copyright 18% by James Gordon Bennett.) Pamis, Feb. 7.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee.]l—Prince Louis Phillippe Robert due d’Orleans, the son aud heir of the comte de Paris, on Thursday at- tained bis majority, having been born in Iwickerham on February 6, 1569. As the sun of his twenty-first birthday rose upon the fair land of Frauce tho young prince, re- gardless of the law forbidding him to enter the territory of the F'rench republic, set foot in the country over which his ancestors reigued for centuries, prompted by a senti- ment, which, whatever other objections may be taken to it, is essentially chivals rous, The duke came to Paris to offer his services, if noed be, and Dblood to the country he claims for his own. Though born under a foreign sky and by law an exile, he would fulfill the duties exacted from every Frenchman suve himself and those who are the heads of families that have held royal or imperial sway over France or who, like imself, are the direct heirs of such. Bvery Frenchman, says the law, shall sorve his country arms in hand, and the jus tice of another law making exceptions, the prince contests, » This morning the duke d'Orleans presented himsolf at the bureau de recruitement, giv- ing bis name and stating his desive to serve in the army " like every other Freachman of his age. The officials were taken aback at this unexpected appuirition and referred the princely postulant for military service to the maire, whence he was similarly directed to the minister of war, A meeting of the cabinet wnmsters was hurriedly summoned to discuss this unprecedented turn of affairs, 1t was not till the afternoon ‘Was nearly over that a decision was come to, though there was no question 8s to the duc @'Orleans haying comwitted au infracuon of the expulsion law of 1380, Finally orders were given to M. Loze. the prefect of police, to arrest the offender. These orders were Put into effect at 6:80 at the mansion of the CTEENTH YEAR. due de Luynes, in the Varenne, where the duc had been received on his arrival in the capital early this morning. From de Luyne's mansion the pfince was conveyed to the prefecture of police,where M. Loze made out an order for his detention in the Cons clergerie prison pending further iustructions from the government. For some days past there have boen rumors 10 the effect that the comte de Paris had re- signed nis claims to the throne of France in favor of his son, the due d'Orleans. Accord ing to these rumors, of which there is neither confirmation nor contradiction, he has been actuated by the desire to give the greatest possible cclat to his father's abdi cation in his favor and the promulgation of nn already prepared manifesto to the Freneh nation. According to articled of the ex- pulsion law the prince has rendered himself liable to imprisonment for from two to five years. e following are the terws of the letter indictod by the duc de Orleans to the minister of wa “Monsieur le Ministerie—1 presented my- self today at the Bureau de Recruitement of the Siene to demand my conscription and thereby to serve my three years in the army like every good eenctiman, Erom the Bu- reau de Recrultement 1 was very cour- teously directed to the maire and thence to the minister of war, 1 have been unable to obtain un answer, I consequently seek one from you. I have no intention of affording any pretext for a demonstration by prolong ing my stay in Paris. 1 am not uuaware a law of oxception proveats my hold- ing any erade in the Freuch army, but I be lieve, Monsicur le Minister:e, that it does not forbid my serving as a private soldier. , This is the greatest honor of which I am am- vitious aud on this point [ await a prompe reply, trusting to your equity and your pa- triotism.” For some weeks past the duc d'Orleans has been residing at Lausanne, study! the Swiss military school. Three d ho wrote to the young duc de Luynes, his intimate friend, whose recent marriage with Muwe. Simonne d'Uzes will long be remem- bered as one of the the most brilliant society events of late years, to join him at Laus- anne. On the duc de Luynos’ arrival the prince acquainted him with his intention of crossing the frontier, ‘The ducde Luynes took a more practical view of the plau and attempted to dissuade the young prince from his enterprise. Puillippe was obstinate. He had, ho said, well weighed the consequences of his act Imprisonment haa no terrors for him. He would try to force the government of the re- public to allow hiw to serve in the French army. The duc de Luynes could but give way and assisted the prince to elude the vigilance of his tutor, = Colonel Percival. They left Lausaune together. ‘While on the train on Thursday for Geneva, the prince, who is fair, donned a brown wig and changed his clothes. By the time Colonel Percival learned af the prince's de- parture from Lausanne the lavter aund ‘the duc de Luynes were speeding along to Paris on the night express. They arrived in the capital at daybreak. The prince decidea to be at the Bureau de Re- cruitement at the opemug. The clothes he had douned for disguise on the train were only too well suited for the prince, and, for the prince, who has atouch of the dandy in his composition, wished to make appearance at the office in qQuestion in a zarb tore suited to 8 dashing young fellow of his exalted rank. In the early morning hours, thercfore, the prince and the Duc de Luynes drove in search of a ready made tailors and hosicries. Such es- tablishments were easily found and the prince purchased a complete outfit from hat to boots. Then they went to de Luynes, hotel, arriving at 8 o'clock. They took breakfast, aud after a short interview with the duchess de Luynes his royal highuess hied him to the Bureau de Recruitement with the results above stated, s SIBERIAN EXILE MASSACRE. d'Orleans Mo Doubt That PFrisoners Slanghtered by Russia, Curcaco, Feb, 7.—George Kennan, now lecturiug here on Siberia, has given to the Associated press a resume of the voluminous correspondence lately received by him re- lating to the massacre of Russian adminis trauve exiles at Yakutsk April 8 last, the occurrence of which has hitherto been strenuously denied by the Russian govern- ment. One of these letters, written by a survivor of the affair, 18 sixty-one pages in length and sets forth with great exactness of detail every particu- lar of the massacre and the events leading up to and immediately preceding and succeeding it. Kennan de- clared the communications to be of tne most impartia) character and even unimpassioned in tone and said they were to be thoroughly relied on, but he witnneld the namcs of his correspondents, ns the publication of their names would involve them in trouble. The story of IKennan's correspondent agrees in many particulars with the account published in the London Times, but gives in addition muny details hitherto unknown and the lruguuxu of the writer is ut tiwes most hio, consider this information received from Russin,” said Kenoan in conclusion, “so mi~ nute and circumstantial in every détail, and kyowing the reliability of its source, to be a complute and conclusive answer to the re- cent strenuous denlals of the Russian gov- nment which were published in the New York Tribune about two weeks ago. Mr. William Tallet, president of the groat How- ard ussociation of England, saye that every effort will ‘be made to bring this matier before the international prison cou- gress, which will meet in St. Petersburg. If the Russtun government will permit it and is ready to meot the issue, I will undertake 1o prove betore this prison congress every charge that I huve arrayed agalust it in wy urtictes published in the Century or whicl have otherwise been brought forward by me in substantiation of these charges. Iam prepaved to bring my witnesses from Siberia und to defray the whole exbense of such a roceeding, but I must fear that my chal- erge will be ignored.” ——— STRAINS A The Commission Cannot Quite Exon- onerate nell, Loxnon, Feb. 7.—The Daily Telegraph says the report of the Farnell commission will begublished the first week parliament is in session.

WasniNGToN Buneav Tiue Omans Bee, } NEW NEBRASKA TERRITORY. During the time of Senator Saunders’ in the senate he had passed an act extending the uorthern boundary of Nebraska east- ward from a point where the Keya Paha river Intersects the 43d parallel to the inter- section of that line with the Missouri viver. The bill provided that when the Indian title to the lauds aescribed should be ceded to the United States the tract of territory should become a portion of the stato of Nebraska. While on the mapsof the state of Nebraska this tract has been borne as being Nebraska territory it has never been actually such or shown as such on the maps of tho govern- ment. Esrly in the present session Senator Paadock called upon Commissioner Groff and Secretary Noble and directed their at- tention to the forthcoming opening of the Sioux reserve and the claim of Nebraska to this territory as soon as the proclama- tion obening the reservation should issue. Later Senator Manderson, in response to inquiries from the O'Neill landoflice made subsequent called oh the department. This morning Senator Paddock was informed by letter {from Secretary Noble that subject to his ap- proval he had recommended to the president the issuance of an executive order trans- ferring to the state of Nebraska the portion of lund south of the Forty-third parallel which has just been ceded tovhe United States by the Indians, It will be added to the O'Neill land district and by this act and the issping of the proclamation the jurisdic- tion of Nebraska will extend over this agdi: tional territory subject to the rights n}mu Uuited States to the lands and the disposi- tion thereof. There are about two wmillions of atres of land in this strip avd it will be open to settlement with the Sioux reser- vation! SI0UX PROCLAMATION TODAY. It is now stated definitely that the presi- dent will tomorrow issue a proclamation opening the Sioux reservatiou-to settlement, svhich addsto the public domain about eleven mwitlion acres of valuable agricultural land ia South ‘Dalkota.

Some of Washington’s society women are considerably wrought up over a superstition, They ¢laim that the deaths in the Blane family aro not at an end because the hearse in tue lasy two funeral processions stopped 10 tront of Secretary Blame's house. 5 PADDOCK PROTESTS, Senstor Paddock called this morning upon Secretury Noble _with reference to o voport which had reached him of a movement being made for the removal of the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies in South Dakots.

Perny S, Heamn, PUNENG S Sy THE ANAROHISTS CASE. wife of of the sentative from Indi- 1t WHI Come Up Before the ¥nited States Swprems Oourr. Sreexorienp, U, Feb. 7.—The famous. case which culmilated ju the Hunging of the anarchists is to be taken before the United States supreme court for review. Salomon of Chizago, who has beea identified with the case frow the beginniugi has beon working for a long time to get Neebe, Fiel- den and Schwab out of the peniten- tiary, When he returned to “hicago iast night he carried with him an order from the' chief justice of the supreme court grantine a writ of error from the Umted States supreme court to the supreme ~court of Illinois for the purpose of allowing the case to again go before tho cour t for review. The lawyer's contention is that the prisoners were deprived of a constitutional right by not being permitted to be present when the court passed sentence upon them. The case will come up for hearing at Washiogton dur- ing the Octover term of the court. “The leadinz lawyers here ure of the opiu- jon that this move can be of no benefit to the imprisoned anarchist in any case, aud may make it worse for thom. There 'is no claim of error in the lower court, and if the point is sustained by the federal supreme court it will result 1n sending the anarchists beforo the state supreme court for reaffirmation of the original sentence. This sentence was that they be hanged, and they would have to suffer that penalty unless the goveruor should again interfere, as dia the former governor, and commute their sentence v im. ‘prisonment. State Attorney Longenorker, talking of the case today, said: “‘Should the United States supreme court fina, that the state su- preme court erred in not having the prison- ers present it will simply remand the case 1o the state supreme court for a rehearing. Tho state supreme court will then have the prisoners brought before the bar while the case is rereviewed. When the review is completed the court’ wiil confirm the son- tence pronounced by Judge Gary. There is not in my wind tha slightest probability ot the United States supreme court finding that the state supreme court erred. The whole thing is the most ridiculous legal move I ever heard of.” et LOYAL L SMITH MUST DISGORG A Verdiet Against a Formar Omnahu Napoleon of Dry Goods, Ciicago, Feb, 7.—[Svecial Telegram to Tuk BEE. | —A decision in favor of Maria L.
