turned to Paris from Lyons yesterday
with the remains of the president cof-
fined in plain oak. The civil and police
authorities received her, but no time was
spent in vain compliments. About 1000
persons, chiefly members of the working
class, were masscd outside the railway
station, and from respect We're as silent ms
the tomb. Madame Carnot had on the
gray mauve trimmed silk dress and the
bonnet she wore nine days ago at the
grand prix race, the last state function
sbs was ever to attend as presidente.
When the news OF the murderous attempt
reached Madame Carnot Sunday night she
had on this costume, and had no time to
change 1t before hurrying away to Lyons.
Until she came back to the Palace of the
Elysee she did not doll her dress.
The widow was accompanied by her
three sons to Paris. The train was awaited
at the TERMINUS by a funeral wage !, two
landaus and a coupe for the Office who
went with the president to l.yon-. The
party were soon conveyed to the Palace of
the Elysee. Their hearts sank when they
found the front of the palace already
draped WI black and silver hangngs.
Troops : drawn up in the courtyard
and sal .ted the funeral wagon, which fol.
lowed close behind the carriages.

since Sunday night, but she was able yes
terday to drink deep draughts of milk
favored with coffee Her mental aud
moral vigor sustained her. She is com.
forted to feel how deeply the poor of Paris
feel her bereavement. 1t was not toe
much that tens of thousands of mechanics,
with their tools on their way from work
flied through the porter's lodge yesterday

peror William and Empress Augusta, the
cyar, King Humberl aud others, and re-
ceiving the ambassadors bringing them.
Emperor WIliam will send prince of his
own house with two Prussian generals to
attend the funeral.
Seemingly NJ. Carnot's fate taufes the
ambition of those politicians who coveted
the presidency. NJ. l.acour, speaker Of
the senate, refuses to run for the Office.

best chance, but is less keen than NJ. Cas-.
