AN ITALIAN AN4KcHIsE


The Assassin Only FL Years Old.-'rhe
Police Save Him from Being TrampIed
to Death by the Maddened People.
PARIS, June 24.-Sadi Carnot, Presi-
dent of the Republic, was stabbed
moItally at 9.l5 O'Clock this evening, in
Lyons, by Cesare Giovanni SantU, an
Italian Anarchist, 81 years old.
The assassin was arrested.
The news spread swiftly to every
part of the city. lnfuriated crowds
filled the streets. Before 10 o'clock an
Italian restaurant had been sacked and
the police were obliged to strain every
nerve to protect the Italian consulate.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME.
President Carnot arrived in Lyons
yesterday and intended to remain there
over Tuesday. He was accompanied by
General Borius, chief of his military
household, most OF his other household
officials, Premier Depuy, NJ. Burdeau
and other members OF the Cabinet. He
was received enthusiastically at the sta
| tion by the mayor and district officials,
| who, in "a landaus drawn by horses
draped with the tricolor, escorted him
| and his party to the Hotel de Vile,
about three kilometres distant
Cheering crowds filled the streets and
gave the President such welcome as
he had seldom received. There was a
| luncheon at the Hotel de Vile and in
| the evening dinner at the Prefecture.
| From the balcony of the Prefecture the
| President reviewed u large torchlight
procession, which was followed by fire.
works and an illumination. Afterward
| the programme Of the city officials for
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was sub
mitted to him in detail and lie expressed
| his satisfaction with the arrangements.
IN A PECULIARLY HAPPY MOOD.
To-day the President and his party
| paid state visit to the exhibition in the
Pare de la Tete dor Afterward the
President held a reception at the Pre-
lecture. He planned to go to the Grand
Theatre, on the Place de la Comedie,

peculiarly happy mood during the ban.
quet, and was noticeably elated by the
cordiality of his reception, not only by
the crowd outside the building, but also
by the guests within. He was cheered
incessantly, from the moment he left
the Chamber of Commerce until he took
the carriage for the theatre.
SANTOS OPPORTUNITY.
The demonstrative enthusiasm of the
crowd caused the confusion which gave
Santo his opportunity, as he was able
TO push his way forward quite unnoticed
until at the step of the carriage. As
Santo sprang away from the carriage
step and tried to escape he was seized
and surrounded. But for the prompt
interference OF the police he would
have been torn and trampled to death
ON the spot. AS soon as the police ex-
tricated him from the hands Of his
captors they hurried him off to the sta
| tion house.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 26.-Ex.
President Harrison talked further to-
day about the assassination of President
Carnot, saying that the act was due to
an infamed and revengeful mind. "The
relations between the government of
which Carnot was the head and this
government at the time / was Presi-

official. They were always characterized
by great courtesy and kindness. His
treatment of our representatives was in

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid and others who
have been in Paris speak of him and
always in terms of the highest COM

"Such a tragedy as this is an admoni-
tion to us, that everybody should unite
in insisting upon the observance of the
law in everything, small or great. We
often say of this or that occurrence, it is
an awful crime and deserves lynch
ing. If saloon is blown up by dyna.
mite we hear the comment that it was
nuisance anyhow. The only thing to do
is for everyone to draw straight line,
for every one to say that evils shall be
corrected by lawful methods, that no

their heads to remedy their wrongs, what
ever they may be-"

ANARCHIST sENrIMENE
Chicago "Reds" Talk About the Killing
of President Carnot.

CHICAGO, ILL. June 25.-Oscar Neebe,
who spenG seven years in Joliet for par
ticipation in the Haymarket riots, said
that the assassination of President
Carnot was cowardly and unneces-
sary act, and one that would injure the
cause of progress. "Carnot has been a
very inotfensive man." said he, land
assassination is the taking of the life of
an innocent man. No Intelligent An
archist would do such a thing. 1t must
be the work of a fanatic"
Thomas Grief, well known in Chicago
as leader in the International Social
istic movements, said "rhe assassina-
ton is only another link in the chain of
evidence of the great social crisis IN the
civilized world"
When asked if there was any unity of
action between the Anarchists of France
and of this country, Grief declared there
was NOT Neither did he believe that in
any Of the inner circles of American
Anarchists there had been any intima-
ton of special activity at present in
France.

EULoGIEs BY THE RUSSIAN PRESS.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 26.-The Rus
sian newspapers publish eulogies of the
late President Carnot, dwelling upon
the fact that his name is indissolubly

the election of NJ. Cassimir- Perier to the
presidency, declaring that he will give
complete satisfaction to public opinion
and to the official world. At the same
time the belief is generally expressed
that whoever is elected President ol
France, it will not affect the relations
existing between the two countries.

wound. He was lifted with the greatest
care from the carriage, and was carried
to his room on the first floor.

The state OF south Carolina Now Has No
Law Permitting the Sale of LIQUOR

Hhe state OF south Carolina Now Has No
Law Permitting the Sale of Liquor.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nav S.-The South
Carolina dispensary law now gives way
to rigid prohibition. The Supreme Court
so declared o-day In announcing its de-
ciSiOn in q case from Florida, asking for
an Injunction TO restrain the city couu-
Gil from granting licenses for selling
liquor, on the ground that there was no
law authorizing the granting thereof.
Ia its decision the Court saws that under
the law as IL now stands there is no
authority invested with the council to
grant licenses for the sale OF LIQUOR in
this State, hence the action OF the city
council in granting such licenses is void
and the Court therefore grants the In
junction. The Court also refused a mo-
ton for the discharge OF a man named
BrunsOn, who was arrested in Florence
for selling liquor withouta license. The
Court says that the dispensary act OF
1892 having been declared unconstitu-
tiOnal in all its provisions except the
granting Of licenses and to sell liquor
after a certain date, the repeating
clauses OF the act must be regarded as
IL never enacted, hence the previous law
the sale of liquor without 8
license rema ined in force.
