M. CARNOT'S FUNERAL
FRENCHIEN WILL UNITE IN A BIG
DEMONSTRATION TO-DAY.
Arrangements for Conveying the
Body to the Pantheon Complete
The Political Situation.

PARIS. June S0.-Preparations for the
funeral of the martyred President, to-
morrow. are complete 1t is believed that
the outpouring of the people, the decora-
tions and the floral tributes which will be
seen tomorrow, when the remains of the
late President are conveyed to the Cathe-
dral of Notre Dame, and thence to the
Pantheon, will be greater and more elab-
crate than have ever before been witnessed
here. In fact it would seem that the people
have determined to make the funera! of NJ.
Carnot a demonstration against anarchy
as well as a tribute of deep respect to the
dead chief magistrate This demonstration,
however, will be entirely calm, but it will
be all the more effective, for it will show
that France really mourns her loss and is
deeply incensed at the outrage upon the
part of the bloodstained disciples of an
archy.
The crowds of people which have been
viewing the remains Of the late President
Carnot to-day were so great that all We
hicular traffic was stopped along the roads
converging upon the Elysee Palace. -Four
large salons in the palace have already
been packed full Of wreaths, piled one
upon another, although they are all of
high artistic value and some Of them Of inn
mense value. 1t is only possible to keep
separate the floral tributes sent by MEM
bers of the imperial or royal families. for
eign governments. etc.
The mourning for the dead President is
universal. The poorer classes vie with the
richer in offering a last tribute of love
TO the illustrious dead. Much stress has
been laid upon the value of some of the
wre2ths sent to be placed on or about the
coffin of Carnot. but far more touching
than the gifts of the rich are the humble
tokens from workingmen and working
women. Many of these have spent their
mites in buying little punches Of immor
telles which they Strew upon the carpet
near the catafalque as they pass by the
coffin.
SO far as the political situation is con-
cerned il seems to be finally determined
that NJ. Burdeau, who was offered the pre-
mership, and who persisted in declining
that honor. has decided to accept the presi-
dency of the Chamber of Deputies. 1t is
asserted on NJ. Burdeau's behalf that he
was obliged by the advice of his physi-
clans to relinquish the task of forming a
Cabinet. On the other hand, NJ. Dupuy, aft
er consulting with his colleagues, informed
consented to remain Premier 1t is be-
leved, however, that the Cabinet will be
reorganized.
President Casmir-Perier while walking
in the Rue Royale to-day was recognized
by the people and most heartily cheered.
He was followed TO the very doors Of his
residence by an enthusiastic crowd, who
frequently cried, Long live the PreSi-
dent Long live Casinir-Perer
NJ. Goreon, the chief of detectives, has
resigned, and his resignation is said to be
due to the fact that he has been severely
criticised for not keeping better guard
over the late President and for not hav-
ing obtained some trace of the anarchist
conspiracy which resulted in the murder
of NJ. Carnot. That the assassination was
a deep-laid plot, which had long been dis
cussed and planned by the anarchist con-
spirators. is no longer question of doubt
In addition TO the facts already cabled
showing that the actual murderer had an
accomplce or accompliceS, a dispatch from
Marseilles announces that a soldier de-
tanned in the prison at that place upon
hearing of the assassination of the Presi-
dent gave the authorities full details con-
corning the plot, which was Matched at
Cette, and also furnished the names of
seven Anarchists who, after the execution
of valiant and Henry, drew lots in order
to decide which of them was to kill Sadi-
Carnot. The lot fell TO Santo Caserie
which proves to be the real name of the as
sassn. He is described as being wild with
joy when he found that he had been Sc
lected to commit the murder.
