the Prefect of Police, M. Loze, and staff ;
railroad officials, and General Saussier.
Military Governor of Paris, with staff,
met the body at the station, which was
heavily draped. The ceremonies at the
railroad terminus consisted only Of the
formal transfer of the remains to the Pre-
feet OF the Seine. The casket was placed
in the hearse and escorted to the Elysee
Palace, followed by five carriages, includ-
ing landau, which was occupied by
Mme Carnot and her three sons. Several
thousand people gathered about the rail-
road and stood with uncovered heads
until the cortege passed.
At the palace the BODY was conveyed to
the reception-room, which had been con-
verted into mortuary chapel, hung with
black cloth and having the catatalque in
the center, upon which, in silver letters,
was the initial "C' over the letters 'R.
F." (Republic Francaise).

CARNOT'S LIFE BEFORE THREATENED.
Copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press
PARIS, June 26.-Mme. Carnot has piles
of letters threatening her husband and
sons, received before and after the eXecu-
tions of Valiant and Henri. Not long
ago NJ. Carnot, when walking in the Bois
with General Borious, chief of his mill
tary household, was shadowed by sim
ister-looking fellow Of whom he could
only rid himself by retreating to his car
riage. He had been warned from Italy
to keep well guarded. Other warnings
came from Brussels to beware of the
Grand Prix on June 10th. In December
5000 francs were voted to increase the
police force, but NJ. Carnot ,gas not praeti-
cally unguarded.
During five years the prefecture of po-
lice was charged to secure his safety, and
it did it well, appointing the sharpest de-
tectives to watch over him. Under the
pretense of economy this duty was shift
ed to the Ministry of the Interior, where,
says the Echo De Paris, unmentionable
intrigues were rife. The officials there
were devoted to NJ. ConstanS, between
whom and NJ. Carnot there was a feud.
Was the change made to worry M. Car
not into leaving the Elysee by arousing a
sense of insecurity? Possibly. When
M. Carnot was going to Toulon to visit
the Russian squadron warning was re-
ceiyed from Scotland Yard, but no atten-
ton was paid to it. On June Goth the
Prefect, Perault, telegraphed to the Min
lister of the Interior that dangerous
Italian anarchist named Santo had ar
rived at Cette. This intimation was also
ignored, with the Lyons tragedy for the
consequence.
DECLARES HE Is AN ANARCHIST.
LYONS, June 26.-The assassin Santo,
before the examining magistrate to-day,
declared himself an anarchist. He said
he acted upon his own initiative and had
not been engaged in any conspiracy.
Nevertheless it has been ascertained that
when Santo stopped at Vienna and Mont
pelier he had several conferences with
persons suspected of being in league
with the anarchists. The police have al
ready arrested three persons at Vienna
who are believed to have been engaged
in the conspiracy.
WHY HE KILLED THE PRESIDENT.
LONDON, June ga dispatch to the
Standard from Lyons says Santo stated
while being examined by the magistrate
that he had no personal grievance against
ID 6n l. ln1 hon n
he was tyrant.
The magistrate asked: "Are you an
anarchist"
Santo replied: Eyes, and am proud
of it,"
"Why did you kill the President?'
81 will tell the jury; they shall know
the motives that prompted my action"
How did you stab Carnot?'
81 pushed aside a cuirassier's horse. I
had the dagger concealed in my sleeve,
and I only had to raise my hand. 1
aimed at his stomach and brought my
hand down sharply, at the same time
shouting, 'Vive PAnarchiep The crowd
rushed at me and prostrated me, and l
was beaten numerically"
You persist in affirming that you did
not have an accomplice 2"
"Yes; but is the President dead ?"
Santo gathered from the magistrate S
He smiled with satisfaction, and raising
his hand simulated the stabbing. The
examination lasted four hours, and the
magistrate was convinced that Santo
acted alone.
RIOTING AT LYONS.
LYONS, June 26.-Throughout the
night rioters thronged the streets and
sacked Italian stores and taverns, and
after throwing their contents into the
streets made bonfires of everything COM
bustible.
The police frequently chased the riot
ers, who always retreas Ted, seeming to be
determined to demonstrate that they
were vindictive against Italians only,
and not seeking a conflict with the >au-
thorities. There and in other towns in
France, excited by the murder of Presi-
dent Carnot, Italian sculptors, wood
carvers. image-makers, grocers and gild-
ers have suffered at the hands of the
mobs. When forced out of their homes
they were beaten and rolled in the gut
ters, their belongings were seized and
broken up or burned, and m any barely
escaped with their lives. Large numbers
of Italians are hopelessly ruined, and
some have fed from Lyons.
Scenes of disorder similar TO these here
are reported from other towns. notably
Grenoble and Dinan. and there is pros
pect of more rioting to-day. Troops have
supported the police in their efforts TO re-
store order.
LYONS, June $3.50 p. M.-At o. clock
this evening riotous mob marched upon
the Italian quarters in the northern part
of the city and attacked and looted a
