WILD WITH RAGE.
MObS Storm the Italian Quarter in
the City of LYONS.

LYONS, June 25.-The mob this evening
set fire TO several OF the Italian cafes. A
Commissary of Police begged the crowd
to respect the aff1iction Of Nine. Carnot,
but the rioters replied with shouts of,
1--WE will avenge Carnot"
Were it not for the presence of the
overwhelming force of troops stationed in
and about the city. there IS little doubt
that the mob would have attacked the
Palace of Justice and wTeaked vengeance
upon the murderer.
Mourning emblems are worn by nearly
every man. woman aud child in the city,
and no dwelling seems too poor to display
the emblem of grief
During the day mob. including num-
Der of members of the various gymnastic
societies, who had arrived in this city to
take part in the fetes, began to gather
about the cafes Casti. Mattosi and Ma
derni, and about the Italian quarter.
Another large crowd gathered about the
hall where the well-known Italian Har-
monic Club meets, and most serious dis
order was apprehended. Threats were
heard on all sides against Italians and
anarchists. Several of the Italian wine
shops were attacked and partly wrecked,
and the Italian cafes mentioned were
stoned and otherwise damaged, in spite of
the efforts OF the police and military. The
sidewalks in front of the Italian cafes
were strewed with wreckage. Some of the
more hothended men proposed an attack
upon the Italian quarter, and the proposi-
tion was received with wild cries of ap-
proval, and in a moment an enormous
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 intervene to pre-
vent the mob had attacked all shops be-
longing to the foreigners and sacked them.
The proprietors and their families were
forced to flee for their lives. In the mean
time another large band marched through
other streets. and by threats compelled
every Italian who kept cafe to close his
place of business. The crowds in the Rue
de la Republique became threatening, and
refused to obey orders to disperse. 1t was
finally found necessary TO command the
Cuirassiers 10 charge the crowd.
The troops are still in reserve under
arms at their barracks. A company of in
fantry is also held in reserve in a house
adjoining the Italian Consulate, to be
ready to support the police in case OF at
tack. at the request of the local authori-
ties the Italian Consul removed the Italian
flag from outside the consulate.
AS the night advanced the rioting in the
city became more general, and it ap-
peared that the mob would take full DOS
session of the city. In the Guillotierie
quarter the disturbances were particularly
violent. Thousands of men and boys
paraAed the streets. and attacked and
sacked every Italian store they came
across. GrOsso's distillery, Silveti's iron
store and Carpinellio's grocery and
wineshop were among the larger places
attacked. Much of the loot obtained by
the rioters consisted of liquors, part of
which was drunk. while what was not SO
disposed OF was either poured into the
streets and set on fire or burned in the

They are particularly anxious to find a

ON THE DUGUAY TRoUIN.
Sadness Hangs Over the Big French
Warship.

Commander Courrejolles of the French
maD-of-war Duguay Trouin and a few of
his officers heard of the assassination of
President Carnot on Sunday evening, but
did not receive official notification of it
until yesterday morning. At about
o'clock dispatches were received from the
French Minister of the Navy announcing
the sad news.
Every man on the ship was called to the
deck and the commander read to them the
awful intelligence. For a moment there
was deep silence, and then the men
gave vent to their feeling of grief and rage.
Every man on board was affected. and all
day long all moved about under the weight
OF common woe.
Several of the men felt the blow greatly
and one or two were moved to tears. From
coalheaver TO commander every one loved
President Carnot and held his abilities as
a statesman in the greatest esteem.
One of the oldest sailors on the vessel
was deeply moved, and could speak of
nothing else. "Carnot was my friend" he
said, "and he was every mans friend.
There was no need to kill good man like

with what had happened. and were per-
fectly willing to discuss the situation.
Up to the time of THE CALL reporters
visit to the man-of-war DO dispatches had
been received that could in any way affect
the movements of the vessel. It was the
general opinion that none would be. In
regard to the political aspect of the assas-
sination every man had an opinion of his
own. Most of them thought that there
would be no danger TO the cause of de-
IN mocracy. President of the Senate Chal-
lemel Lacour was now practically the
head of the republic, and would be until
after the election. He is known to favor
the church party, and during the little
while he will hold power can exert great
influence.
AS soon as the news was read to the
men on the Duguay Trouin flags we're put
at half-mast and the yards of the vessel
cock-billed. Guns were fired at intervals
of one hour all through the day.
AS soon as orders are received the vessel
will be put in mourning. This will be
done on the day of the funeral, however,

He was long in dec ding to make the

however. his friends began to talk of the
Lyons anarchists avenging Vaillant's
death the President thought he was in
honor bound to go. There has been no
disorder here. There is absolutely 10 feeling
in Paris against the Italians. Despite the
public grief, which is sincere, the Parisians
never had such cool heads and so dispas-
sionate a notion. Daily since Vaillants
death the President received menacing
letters.

The feeling in the French colony is one
OF deep horror and grief. The French
journals came out yesterday in mourning
and the flags everywhere were half
masted. a meeting of the Bastile COM
mittee was called for last night, at which
the presidents of the various societies were

There will be no celebration of the Fall

will make public demonstration Of grief
at the untimely death of Carnot.
This was decided at the meeting last
