THE ASSASSIN.
He Walked Thirty Miles to Reach
LYONS.


Lyons.
PARIS, June 25.-The police inquiries
late this afternoon resulted in Obtaining
the following facts in regard to the
assassin's movements previous to the.
crime: &
Santo missed the tealn running di-l
rectly to Lyons from Cette, on Satur-i
day, and had to go to Montpelier and
from thence to Viehne. From the lat
ter place he was unable to pay his fare
on the train to Lyons, having only 60
centfmes in his pocket. and was oblfxsdi
to walk thirty. miles. He arrived at
Lyons the same afternoon. When tie
police rescued the prisoner from tie,
mob. after he had stabbed the president,
his clothes were torn to shreds. and It
was found necessary to sew them to-
gether al the police station.
Santo was confined in a cell at the
palace of justice at Lyons.
SlgnOr Cressmar, the Italian ambassa-
dor, received this afternoon dispatch
from Rome. saying that the ipvestiga..
tion which the Italian authorities have
made into the identity OF Santo. tie
assassin. shows that he is not an Itai-
ian. but that he comes from Tyroi. Tie

PARIS, June 25.-Few men in France
we're better liked than Francois Sadi.
Carnot.
He was elected to the presidency De-
cembcr 8. 1887. His competitors were
Gen. Saussier, NJ. Ferry aud NJ. De
Freycinet. Practically he was the can
didate of the Radicals. and he was often
accused of sympathy with the commun-
lists and reds. AS president, as when he
was in the cabinet, he steered between
every group, conciliating all, antagoniz-
ing none.
His history is simple and uneventful.
By profession he was an engineer, and
by taste political economist. Re
planned public works and edited John
Stuart Mill. He took part in the ma
tional defense during the Franco-Prus-
sian war, and consistently voted with
the Radicals. He spent the best part of
his lie in remembering that he was
CarnoPs grandson. and in preserving
the family tradition of integrity and
courage. Carn0t's grandfather, the
celebrity Of the house, was q typical
revolutionist. He voted without the
least compuncti0n for the death of Louis
XVI. though In later years he had
qualms of conscience. His great glory
was In defending France under the
directory. The republic was in sore

CARNor WAS HAPPY
just Before the Stiletto Was Driv.
en- Into His Body,


LYONS. June 25.-Deputy Chaudy,
who was an eye witness of the crime,
is quoted as saying that President Car
not was in the best of spirits just
previous to the attack made upon him
by Santo. A few moments before the
stiletto was driven into his body the
president was laughing, and remarked
that he was approaching the end OF his
term of office.
President Carnot did not faint when
he was struck. and he was still conscious
upon his arrival at the prefecture, al
though he suffered agony. and more
than once complained of the pain.
The facility with which Santo was
enabled to approach the presidents
carriage is explained by the fact that
NJ. Carnot had directed that if any one
desiring to communicate with him
while OH the way from the chamber of
commerce to the theater they should be
allowed to do so. The Associated Press
correspondent has been able to obtain
the details of the last moments of Pres
den Carnot. When the president re-
gained consciousness after fainting at
the prefecture, be asked for pen. But
when the pen was placed in his hands
the president was too weak to write.
A little while before he died, the
president whispered for Col. Chamoin,
one of the leading officials of his military
household. The colonel approached
him. and the dying man pressed his
hand and said family: s.Je suis touche.
bien touche." q am wounded; badly
Wounded.)
His final agbnies lasted about five
minutes, and did not appear to be ex-
tremely painful. But at the presidents
last gaspings portion of his intestines
partly emerged through the gaping
wound.

LYONS. June 25.-The streets Of this
city throughout the. day have been
thronged with crowds of excited people.
A large number of the stores are closed.
Serious rioting has already occurred
and more trouble is anticipated.
We're it not for the presence of the over
whelming force of troops stationed in
and about this city, there is little doubt
that the mob would attack the palace of
justice and wreak vengeance upon the
murderer.
Mourning emblems are worn by nearly
every man. woman and child in the
city. and no dwelling seems too poor
to display the emblems of grief from its
windows and about its doors.
During the day mob. including
number OF members Of the various
gymnastic societies who had arrived in
this city to take part in the fetes. began
to gather about the Cafes Casati, Mat
tosi and Maderni, and about the Italian
quarter. Another large crowd gathered
about the hall where the weil-known
Italian Harmony club meets, and most
serious disorder was apprehended.
THREATS WE'RE HEARD
on all sides against Italians and anar-
chists. Several OF the Italian wine.
shops were attacked and party wrecked.
and the Italian cafes mentioned were
stoned and otherwise damaged in spite
of the efforts of the police and military.
The sidewalks in frontof the Italian
cafes were strewn with wreckage of
various descriptions, stones and broken
bottles being most prominent.
The police, in suppressiug the disor-
