PARIS, June o5.-The deepest sorrow, |
dismay and anger prevails throughout |
France over Carnot's tragic death. Tele-
grams Of sympathy arc pouring In from
all over the world. Newspapers of ali
shades Of opinion deplorc tho assassina-
ton. Throughout France flags are ut half
mast and public buildings are drapcd.
Nine. Carnot, accompanied by her three
sons, arrived at Lyons this morning. She
proceeded immediately TO the prefecture,
where tho body Of the late president re-
poses in state. Tho death chamber was
cleared and tho family left alone. They
remained n long time In prayer before tho
bier. Then the widow was led away by
her sons, all weeping bitterly. Later the
remains were photographed.
1t Is stated that Mime. Carnot does not
desire the body embalmed and wishes IL
removed Immediately from Lyons TO this
city TO lic In state in tho chapel OF the
palace. Tho remains of tho murdered
man are clad in dress suit and across
the breast Is tho grand Gordon of tho
Legion Of Honor, of which, rs chief Of
state, he was grand master.
High officers Of the presidents house,
hold and Sisters Of Charity watched the
remains throughout the night. Tho pre-
lecture Is surrounded by troops and
strong detachment is guarding the build
ing In which Giovanni Santo, the assassin,
Is contlncd.
On tho boulevards scenes of the greatest
excitement have been witnessed to-day.
Tho police had difficulty in dispensing tho
crowds of angry people who assembled at
different points calling for vengeance
against tho murderer and bis supposed
accompliccs. Several Italian flags dis
played out Of sympathy with frances
loss, and drapcd with crepe, were hootod
and at least ono was torn into shrcds. In
every quarter fierce demonstrations
against the Italian residents have taken
place. Nearly all tho Italian cafes and
restaurants have been closed, but II the
feeling against the Italians Is strong, the
sentiment of hatred with which the ma
jorlty regard the anarchists Is still
| stronger.
The murderer, Santo, has boldly as
serted ho is an anarchist. II is reported
the police are convinced that tho assassi-
nation of Carnot is the result of plot.
| Santo was born ut Motta Visconti,
northwest OF Pavia, December, 1873. He
Is baker and was tried in Milan in 1892
for breach of tho peace. but acquitted.
Santo delivered anarchistic lectures OF
tho vilest character before going TO Swift
zerlnnd last year. There no longer seems
TO bo much doubt that tho assassination
was tho result Of an anarchistic conspir-
acy to avenge the deatho OF Valiant and
Emile Herr. Twenty detectives have
gono to Cettc, department Of Herfault,
where Santo was recently domiciled, to
track down his supposed accomplces.
The weapon used by tho murderer was
q long triangular blade OF the stiletto
pattern. Upon the blado arc engraved
the words: "Rccord Of Toledo" Tho
sheath Of tho weapon is Of velvet with
red and black stripes.
President Carnot's last words were
"Thank you. my friends; thank YOU"
1t is F. believed ex-lrcmier Casimir
Revicr, now president OF tho chamber ol
deputies, has tho best chance of succeed
ing tho late president. Challemel La
cour. president of tho senate, Cayaignac,
Dupuy, Brisson, Contains and General
Sausser are also mentioned.
The SENATE was crowded this evening
when President NJ. Challcmcl Ia Coui
made an address expressing tho senate,
feeling at tho death of President Carlot
Europe" he said, sis apprcciating th'
nobeness and strength OF his charactc
and shares in Frances grief Th'
speaker then voiced tho sentiment an,
coincidence with tho family, saying: Il
any mans innate goodness should hav'
guarded him from hatred and fanaticism
IL was President Carnot. Tho crime ha
strengthened our energetic resolve to dc
fend the fundamental rules OF society an
prevent outrages upon human life."
Lyons, June 25.-The mob this eyenin
