PARIS. June 26.-The funeral train bear
Ing the remains OF M. Sadi Carnot,
the murdered President of the French
republic, who was fatally stabbed
in his carriage by Gcsario Santo, an
Italian Anarchist, while driving through
the streets OF Lyons on Sunday night, ar
rived here at $40 a. m.
The Prefect of the Seine, Nj. Poubelle,
and his staff; the perfect of police, M.
Loze, and his staff; the railroad officials
and General Saussier, ( he iitary governor
of Paris, with his staff, met the body at
the station which was heavily draped
with Grape, and other emblems of mourn
The ceremonies at the railroad term
mus, however, were private and consisted
only in the formal transfer of the remains
to the Project OF the Seine.
The casket, soon after its arrival at the
depot, was placed In a hearse, in the pres =
ence OF the officials mentioned and the
officers of the late Presidents military
household, headed by General Borius,
Captain Jaureg guiberry and Colonel Cha
moin.
The hearse was then escorted to the
Elysee Palace, followed by five carriages,
including landau, which was occupied
by Nine. Carnot aud by her three sons.
In spite of the early hour and the
time the body of the late President was
to arrive was not generally known, a
crowd of several thousand gathered about
the railroad station. Every person pres
ent stood with uncovered head until the
funeral cortege passed on its way to the
Palace.
Upon arriving at the Elysee the hearse
and it's accompanying carriages were
admitted into the grounds, after which
the gates were closed.
AT the palace the body was received
by the officers of the late Presidents s
civil household and conveyed to
one of the reception rooms which had
previously been converted into mortuary
chapel, hung with black cloth and having
a catafalque in its center, upon which, in
silver letters, was the initial &C" Gar
notl over the letters "R. f." (Republique
Francaise).
The widow was overcome with emotion
when the casket was placed in the mortu-
ary chapel that she was compelled TO re-
tire to private room, here her sons did
their utmost to console her.
The cabinet were absent from the recep-
tion Of the late Presidents remains at the
railroad station, nor were they present
when the body arrived at the Elysee.
1t was also noticed that the military
guard at the palace did not present arms
as the hearse passed them upon the
arrival at the palace. Ii was believed,
however, that this was due to the fact
that the transfer of the body from the
depot to the Elysee was an entirely infor-
NAL ceremony.
1t is now said to be established that

The assassin's name was registered at the
labor exchange.
The feeling against Italians in particu-
lar and foreigners in general, aroused by
the assassination of the President,
has caused several factories in the
suburbs of this city to discharge all
.he foreigners in their employ, and it is
expected that their example will
be followed by an additional num-
ber of other establishments employing
foreigners. IL is believed, however, that
when the sympathetic action OF the King
OF Italy, the Italian chamber and Premier
OF Crispi becomes more generally known
throughout France that a great deal
of this feeling against Italy will
be softened as there is no doubt that King
Humbert and his government have done
everything possible to show their
