TO REST IN THE PANTHEON.
PARIS, June 26.-The funeral of Pres
ident Carnot has been fixed for Sunday
The remains will be laid in the Pan
theon, where Victor Hugo is buried,
beside those of Lazare Carnot, the
presidents grandfather. 1t is
said NJ. Carnot shrank from
going to Lyons. When, however,
his friends began to talk of
the Lyons anarchists avenging Vail
was in honor bound to go. Daily,
since Vaillant's attempt, the president
received menacing letters, sometimes
ten or twelve in single day. He dis
dained these threats and would not al
low any precautions for his safety to
be taken.
LYONS, June 26.-The mob Monday
evening set fire to several of the Ital-
ian cafes. A police official begged the
crowd to respect the affiiction of Nine.
Carnot, but the rioters replied with
shouts of "We will avenge Carnot"
During the afternoon the doctors
made post-mortem examination
of the remains of the late pres

port to the effect that the wound was
just beneath the right false ribs. 1t
was two-thirds of an inch wide and
inches deep. The blade of the stilletto
penetrated the right lobe of the liver,
cutting the porta in two places. The
latter caused intro-peritoneal hemor-
rhage, resulting in death.
The body of M. Carnot was taken
from the prefecture Monday evening
and placed on the train that will con-
vey it to Paris. After prayers for the
dead had been offered the casket con-
tanning the remains was carried out
and placed on gun carriage. While
this was being done salutes of artil-
and drums were beaten. Every civil
and military honor was shown the
dead. The square in front of the pre-
lecture was densely thronged, as were
all the streets leading to the railway
station. Troops and gendarmes kept
the route clear The procession that
followed the body was a very long
one. 1t included all the civic and mill
tary authorities of Lyons and a large
number of delegates from different
cities and towns.
AS the sad cortege passed slowly
along the streets were remarkably
quiet. Almost the only sounds that
could be heard were the trampling of
the horses and the rumbling of the gun
carriage. Every man along the line
of march removed his hat as the body
passed by him and there were silent
prayers offered for the repose of M.
Carnot's soul.
| No sooner had the cortege gone by,
however, than great change ap-
peared in the crowd. The people who
! had heretofore stood reverent and
mute before the nations martyr now
gave vent to their pent-up excite
ment and rage. Everywhere could be
heard cries of Long live Carnot and
death to his murderer" The sud.
den change in the feelings of the
crowd boded i'll for the resi- lent Ital-
ians, and when some of the more hot
headed men in the crowd proposed that
an attack be made upon the Italian
quarter the proposition was received
with wild cries of approval. In almost
less time than it takes to tell it an enor-
nous mob, at the head of which was
carried French flag, was en- route to
that part of the city given over to the
Italians. Before the police could in
tervene to prevent the trouble the moi
had attacked all the shops belonging
to the foreigners and sacked them
AS the night advanced the rioting in
the city became more widespread, and
at one time it appeared as though the
mob would take full possession of the
town. In the Guillotiere quarter the

are strewn with debris of every de

In the center of the town the mob
were more amenable to orders and tn
troops were repeatedly cheered. Dur
ing the night total of 300 arrests wer
made.
The facility with which SAINT
was enabled to approach the pres
idents carriage is explained b.
the fact that M. Carnot ha
directed that anyone desiring to CON
municate with him while on the wa
from the chamber of commerce to tn
theater should be allowed to do so.

intelligent. He ran after the pres

large bouquet. When he jumped u
on the carriage step he adroitly dre'
his dagger out of the flowers. IL ha
not yet been discovered whether tn
assassin had accomplices.
