His Condition Hopeless.
In the meantime physicians were i'm
mediately summoned to the president,
who had Immediately been conveyed
to the prefecture. A careful eXamina
ton was made of the wound and the
doctors declared the condition Of NJ.
Carnoh hopeless.
The news of the assaszina ton caused
a great sensation at the Grand theatre,
which was filed to the walls by the
elite of Lyons. The theatre presented
brilliant scene, the handsome toll
leIttes of the ladies being offset by the
gay uniforms of the many military
officers present. All were waiting With
impatience the arrival OF the president,
and all were unable to understand the
delay.
Suddenly a man entered the theatre,
crying at the top of his voice, The
president has been assassinated.'
The most intense excitement followed
this abrupt announcement. Women
screamed and several tainted. Many
men. without waiting for their hats,
ran out Of the building in order to con-
firm the news. They found all the
streets leading to the palace filed with
excited throngs. and in a few minutes
they Were convinced the report Of the
attempt on the life of the president was
true.
Suddenly through the throng sped a
landau conveying Andrian Dupuy,
brother Of the prime minister, Deputy
Chaudey and Project Rivaud, the
crowd giving way before the carriage
as it dashed into the Rue dc Ia Re-
hque, preceded by four mounted gen d
armes. The crowd, thinking now the
report of the assassina ton was untrue,
and that the president vas in the car
riage, shouted: -Vive Garnet; Vive la
repubiiquer'
The carriage was stopped and NJ
Chaudey and Rivaud in tremulous
voices said: Don't shout; the presi
dent has been the victim of an outrage
Cheers Turned to Curses.
The cheers were instantly turned to
curses, and many and loud were the
cries for vengeance. The landau pro-
ceeded to the theatre, where it arrived
box. AS soon as they were seen, the
whole audience arose, and amid pro-
found silence, NJ. Rivaud said in a
voice broken with sobs: The preSi-
dent has just been assassinated.
This announcement was received with
a terrible explosion of fury by the au-
dience, when the first report of the as
sassination reached them had generally
discredited it. The theatre resourded
with shouts Of "a la mort / assas-
sin" and cries for vengeance upon him.

NJ Rivaud was again interrupted
with shouts of Death to the murderer!

Waving his hands for silence, NJ.
Rivaud again spoke, saying:
DO not make my mission more pain
full. We left NJ. Garnet in the hands
of doctors. You understand that under
these conditions our hearts are filed
with sorrow, and that the proposed
performance in the Presidents honor
cannot take place"
Performance Postponed.
The audience then left the building,
many Of them proceeding at once. to the
prefecture, where they stood in the
streets waiting for any report that
might be vouchsafed them from the
building, and discussing the crime they
considered had' cast disgrace upon the
fair fame of their city.
The Assassin.
The assassin is an italian named Ce-
sare Giovanni Santo.
The following bulletin has just been

THE state of the president of the
republic is alarming, but not hopeless.
The wound is in the region Of the liver.
The hemorrhage, which was at first
copious has now ceased
After examining the PRESIDENTS
wounds. all the physicians in attend

being done, NJ. Carnot came to his
senses. and said feebly, but distinctly,

though. that the presidents condition
was extremely grave. rs they more than
expected that internal hemurrhage had

his carriage and placed upon a bed in
the prefecture, nobody but the doctors

ons. were allowed to enter the room
I;he;t he had aa"n placa.l.
Santo, the assassin, is a beardless
young man, 20 or % years old. When
arrested he was attired in brown suit
and wore a peaked cap that matched
the suit in color. AS he marched under
police guard from the Rue de la Re
publique to the station he held his
head down, but his eyes glanced fur
lively around as though he was seek
ing an opportunity to escape. To have
made such an attempt, however, would
have been the height of folly, unless
he desired TO commit suicide for there
is not the slightest doubt had he got
away from the protection of the police,
he would have been torn limb from
limb by the crowd whose every action
showed they were thirsty for his blood.

to stop while the landau in which
were General Borius, the prafnct. the
mayor and the wounded president es-

guards on a gallop. was driven rapidly

A second carriage, conveying the
officers of the presidents military
household, followed close behind. An
Associated Press reporter entered a
third carriage, in which were NJ. Bar
deau, eX-miniSter IF inan3c, and Ser
ator Milaud. On arriving at the pre-
fecl6ure General BoriiIs and the mayor
aiighted President Garnet lay I'M
conscious upon the cushions of the car
rage. His eyes were closed. His
vaistcoat was unbuttonad and his shirt
on which the bright red cord of the
Legion of Honor was conspicuous, was
covered on the left side, just over the
heart, by a large blood stain, which
extended to the hip.
1t was impossible to tell from his
appearance whether he was dead or
alive.
The crowd surged about in the vi
cinity of the carriage, but the mounted
guards and the foot police held them
in check some distance from the Ian
dau, in which the president was ly-
ing. Many were the expressions of pity
for the president and anger at his as
sissination. General Borius, the pre-
feet and mayor, assisted by number
