PARIS, June 26.-Madame Carnot re-
turned to Paris from Lyons, early this
morning with the remains of the President
confined in plain oak. The civil and police
authorities received her. About seven
thousand persons, chiefly members of the
working class, were massed outside the
railway station. Madame Carnot had on the
grey mauve trimmed silk dress and the bon
net she wore nine days ago at the grand
prix races. the last state function she 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
it before hurrying away to Lyons. Until
she came back to the palace Of the Elysee
she did not doff her dress.
About three thousand persons were i'm the
station at Dion TO silently salute the re-
mains. The widow was accompanied by
her three sons to Paris. The train was
awaited at the terminus by funeral wag-
on. two landaus and a coupe for the Off
GERS who went with the President to Ly-
ons. The parry was soon conveyed to the
palace of the Elysee. Troops were drawn
out in the courtyard and saluted the funeral
wagon On alghting, Madame Carnot was
embraced by her daughter-in-law and moth
er-in-law. Madame Carnot has not touched
food since Sunday night, but she was able
to drink deep draughts of milk favored
with coffee. Her mental and moral vigor
sustain her. She spent to-day ordering
mourning, arranging for the funeral, dictst-
ing answers to the kilograms from Queen
Victoria, President Cleveland, Emperor
William and Empress Augusta the Car.
King Humbert and others, and receiving
the ambassadors bringing them. Emperor
William will send a Prince of his own
house. with two Prussian generals, to at
tend the funeral. Marechale Macmahon
sent feeling telegram in which deep sor-
row spoke to deep sorrow.
Seemingly. NJ. Carnot's fate tames the
ambition of those politicians who coveted
the presidency. NJ. Lacour, Speaker of the
Senate, refuses TO run for the office Prime
Minister Dupuy seemingly has the best
chance, bur is less keen than was Nj. Cassi-
mir-Perier The hesitant octogenarian
Arago. the astronomers son, is hardly
paced, but because he is so old ana tot
tering may get in. M. Brisson, who has
been a. candidate twice, already has some
chance. NJ. Cassimir-Perier would just now
be dangerous. because he is repugnant to
the industrial working classes. 1t is on
the cards that large number of oppor-
tunists may unite with the Radicals and
Socialists on NJ. Brisson or NJ Bourgeoise
as outsider, but so was Carnot in 1887
under different circumstances, however A
presidential election is in the nature of
a Vatican conclave, and is the object of
endless bargaining and intriguing NJ
Cassimir-Perier is the man for the wealthy
bourgeosie and aristocratic society. He is
wise in his own conceit, but the response
bilities involved in the presidency might
cure this. In America he might pass for an
old-faslioned Whig.
Madame Carnot has piles of letters
threatening her husband and sons, received
before and after the executions of Vail
liant and Henry. Not long ago NJ. Carnot,
when walking in the Bois with General
Borius. chief of his military household,
was shadowed by a sinister looking fell
low of whom he could only rid himself
by retreating to his carriage. He had been
warned from Italy to keep we'll guarded
Other warnings came from Brussels to be-

December 100000 francs was voted to in
crease the police force, but NJ. Carnot was
left practically unguarded. During five
years the prefecture of police was charged
to secure his safety and did it well, ap-
pointing the sharpest detectives to watch
over him. Under the pretense of economy
this duty was shifted to the Ministry Of
the Interior, where. says the Echo de

Constans, between whom and NJ Carnot
there was a feud Was this change made
to worry Nine. Carnot into leaving the
Elysee by arousing a sense of insecurity?
Possibly. When NJ. Carnot was going to
Toulon to visit the Russian squadron a
warning was received from Scotland Yard,
but attention paid to it. On June
20 the prefect of Herault telegraphed to
the Minister of the Interior that dan
gerous Italian Anarchist named Santo had
arrived at Cette. This intimation was also
ignored. with the Lyons tragedy for the
consequence. EMILY CRAWFORD.
