occupied by the widow, Nine. Carnot.
and her three sons.
In spite of the early hour and the fact
that the time the body was to arrive was
not generally known. a crowd composed
OF several thousand people had gath
cred about the railroad station. Every
person present stood with uncovered
head until the funeral cortege passed by.

compelled to retire TO a prNate room,

sole her.
The Cabinet Ministers were not at the
station, nor were they present wien the
body arrived at. the Elysee.
II Is now said to be cstab lished that
Santo lived for some time in the Rue
Traversiere. this city. occupying a room
in the house of an Italian wine-dealer.
The assassin's name was registered at
the Labor Exchange.
The feeling against Italians in par
tlcular and foreigners in general,
aroused by the assassination of the
President, has caused several factories
in the suburbs Of this city TO discharge
all foreign hands.
It is believed, however. that when the
sympathetic action Of the King Of Italy,
the Italian Chambers and Premier
Crispi becomes more generally known
throughout France, the feeling against
Italy will be greatly softened.
In regard to the political situation.
there is little change this morning
Several members .of the Chamber OF
Deputies have asked Premier Dupuy
II he is candidate for the Presidency.
and he has replied that his candidature
has been too freely mentioned for
months past for him not to come for
ward during the present critical stage
in the affairs OF France.
NJ. Dupuy added that he fe!t cncour-
aged by the thought that this jrncture
required more devotciness than ambition
to seek an honor which was fraugh;
with such we!ghty responsibilities.
