The flags and other decorations on the
Prefecture We're, however, removed dur
ing the night, and the great flag which
usually floats over the Chamber of Com
merce was replaced by large square
banner of Grape.
The inhabitants of Lyons generally
this morning are removing the festive

EXCITEMENT ON THE -BoULEvARDs.
The feeling of public anger which
prevails in this city as result of the
assassination is almost beyond descrip-
ton. t5,.M.
On the boulevards, this morning
scenes cf the greatest excitement have
been witnessed. The police had diff
Guilty in dispensing the crowds of wildly
angry people who assembled at different
points, discussing the tragedy, cursing
the assassin and calling for vengeance
against the murderer and his supposed
accOmplices. .....
The fact that the assassin is an Italian
has given rise to the most dangerously
bitter feeling against Italy and Italians
and several Italian flags displayed out
of sympathy with frances loss and
draped with Grape were hooted at and
in at least one instance pulled down
and torn in shreds.
In every quarter of Paris fierce dem,
onstrations against the Italian residents
have taken place, and as result nearly
all the Italian cafes and restaurants have
been closed.

strong, the sentiment of hatred with
which the majority of the people regard

Anarchist and therefore upon the An
archists are the people pouring the viali
of their wrath.

the Senate; Cavaiguac, Dupuy, B risson
Constans and General Saussier, are also
mentioned as likely to be strong candi
dates.
