A BEARDLEss YOUNG MAN
The Assassin an Italian Named
Cesare Giovanni Santo.

LYONS, France, June 24.-The assassin
is an Italian named Cesara Giovanni
Santo. He is beardless young man. 20
or % years old. When arrested he was
attired in a brown suit and wore a
peaked hat that matched the suit in color.
AS he marched under police guard from
the Rue de la Republique to the station,
he held his head down, but his eyes
glanced furtively around as though he was
seeking 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
that they were thirsty for his blood.

questioned by Prefect Lepin at the police
station in Rue Moliere, said he had lived

After examining the Presidents wounds
agreed that an operation was necessary,
whereupon DR.. Ollyer probed the wound.
While this was being done NJ. Carnot
came to his senses and said feebly, but
distinctly:
How you are hurting me-"
The doctor, however. continued to attend
the wound, the outflow of blood OF which
had stopped. They knew, though, that
the Presidents condition was extremely
grave, ss they more than suspected that
an internal hemorrhage had commenced.
After NJ. Carnot had been taken from
his carriage and placed upon a bed in the
Prefecture nobody but the doctors and the
officers of bis military household, who had
accompanied him to Lyons. were allowed
to enter the room to which he had been
carried.
Shortly after midnight the Archbishop
of Lyons was summoned to the bedside of
the dying President to administer to him
the last rites of the church. He was in
the room but short time when he retired

He remained until half-past IL o'clock.
and he was again summoned to the Presi-

NJ. Carnot remained conscious to the
last. He realized that his life was rapidly
ebbing away, and twice he ssid
'Je men vais."
DIR. Poneet leaned over the bed and said
to him:

Lyons, France, June 24-The most In

The President was visiting Lyons In
connection with the International Exhi-
bition. Upon his arrival he was rendered
a reception at the Prefecture, after which
he visited the exhibition. After spending
some time at the exhibition he proceeded

performance was to be given because OF
his presence in the city. Several carri-
:. ages were in the procession, the first one
being occupied by the President.
CarnoFs carriage was driven slowly
along in front OF the Palais de Commerce
and then turned into the Rue de la Re-
publiaue, still following the facade of the
Palais.
When half way down the street, which
was lined with enthusiastic crowds of
people, who were loudly cheering, a man
rushed out of the crowd and sprang upon
the step OF the Presidents landau.
Just at this moment NJ. Carnot was wav-
ing his right hand and saluting with his
hat in his left hand in response to the ova-
ton that was being given him by the
crowd.
The people close to the carriage saw that
the man standing on the step had knife
in his hand.
By the glare OF the electric lights they
saw the bright blade cleaning in the air as
the assassin's arm descended, and then
President Carnot was seen to fall back in
his seat, his face deathly pale.
One Of his hands was pressed to his
heart, where the steel had entered the
body.

seated at the side Of President Carnot, i'm

In the face and knocked him from the
step. thus preventing the man from stab
bing the President again, which it was his
evident intention to do.
Instantly cries Of "Le President est
assassine," Mort a Passassiu." were
heard on every side, and the crowd in the
vicinity OF the carriage swelled to enor-
nous proportions, every member of 1t
seemingly intent upon killing the assassin.
he was grasped by dozen hands, and
his life would then and there have paid the
penalty of his crime had it not been for
seVeral sergeants de vile, who seized him
and attempted to draw him away from his
captors. This was found to be i'm possible,
as the lnfuriated populace was determined
to lynch the man.
All efforts of the sergeants availed moth
Ing beyond saving the man from instant
death. Blows were aimed at his face
and he was raised over the shoulders of
the police, who had by this time re-
ceived re-enforcements, and many of the
blows landed fairly.
At length the police succeeded in driv-

New ORLEANS, Nov 14.-Among those
who came to New Orleans to attend the
Knights Of Labor convention is George
W. Howard, vice president of the Ameri-
can Railway union. Mr.. Howard's prin-
cipal reason for coming south is for the
purpose OF selecting suitable lands for a
colonization scheme which he and his
associates have undertaken. They have
the CO operation of several railroads. MIR.
Howard, in speaking of his plans, said
that there in Chicago and vicinity about
10000 men who have no employment.
They were in the strike last summer, and
have been blacklisted by all the rail
roads. His idea-and he is backed up
by Mr.. Sovereign and other leaders-is
to colonize these men in the south. He
has several locations in view in Alabama
and Mississippi, and will examine the
prairie lands of southwest Louisiana.
These men are willing to work, and look
to the south as presenting the broadcast
and best field of labor.
