the Last Rites.
PARIS, July 1.-The scenes witnessed
during the passage of the procession from
the palace to Notre Dame were repeated
as it slowly made its way TO the Pantheon.
There was a number OF spontaneous out
bursts of cheering, especially wher Presi-
dent Casmir-Perier was recognized. but
out OF respect for the dead these outbursts
of enthusiasm were speedily hushed
The funeral car and It's escort arrived
at the Pantheon at 2:50 P. NJ. amid the
booming of salute of 101 guns, fired by a
company of artillery stationed In the JAR
din du Luxem bourg.
At brief intervals the massed bands
played funeral marches as the procession
was winding its way from the cathedral.
At the Pantheon the casket was removed
amid a trumpet salute ana the roll of
muffled drums.
The end of the procession had not
reached the Pantheon before the funeral
oratiOns commenced.
Premier Dupuy during his remarks said
president Carnot gave his life for his
country. He died for France and for the
republic. He was struck down in a cow
ardly manner and with savage vindictive-
ness. The people concerned in this out
rage must be reduced to powerlessness.
"CarnOt fell like soldier on the field of
honor. At the moment he already could
see before him the hour of Tepose, for he
had not the slightest idea of soliciting re-
election, which he considered contrary 10
the spirit of the constitution.
president Carnot had the highest con
ception OF the office of President of The re-
public. He knew how to gain, privately
and publicly, the sympathy and respect of

imous sorrow they have manifested their
sympathy and admiration for the man. the
citizen and the magistrate, and more es-
pecially for the man of peace, to the main
tenance of which he devoted all his eff

public"
Premier Dupuy then traced the life of
the late President Carnot. reviewed his
increasing popularity before his death and
concluded as flows: France feels the
greatness of its loss. We thank you for
having prepared union of its sons with
the common love felt for the republic and
for the fatherland. We will retain your
memory in order to better serve the re-
public and will ever keep in view the
honor of France. The republic lays upon
your coffin flag draped with mourning.
Deign to accept this supreme homage of
gratitude and sorrow"
NJ Challemel Lacour recalled the cere-
mOny OF 1889, when the body Of LaZare
Carnot was placed in the Pantheon, and
said: 1.-THE grandfather and grandson to-
day are united, and before this destiny, an
obscured death in exile on one side and
the vengeance of madmau on the other,
one asks himself why exert himself when
such is the reward of the purest devotion
France, full Of life and enegy, nobly
bears the scar of her wound and imposes
respect by the manner in which she en-
dures this latest outrage.
"The workman is struck In the midst OF
his work, but the work proceeds. France
lives by the devotion of those who have
sacrificed themselves for her."
The President of the Senate then eElo-
gized the late President Carnot, dwelling
upon his calmness in difficult situations,
and concluded MAY such calmness sus-
tain us in our hour of need. Before a
career so noble we have only TO inspire
ourselves with the light which shines out
in the life of Carnot his love of the
fatherland and bis iDhsxible respect for the
law"

Chamber of Deputies, in his address ex-
patiated upon the foulness of the crime
which had robbed the late President of his
life. adding: ut lies in the power of such

continue the necessary reforms, in due
time repressing the disturbing element.
