the Man to DO the Work.
PARIS, June 30.-A dispatch from
Marseilles announces that soldier de-
tailed in the military prison, upon
hearing of the assassination of the
president, broke down and gave the
authorities full details concerning a
diabolical plot Matched at Cette, and
has furnished the names of seven an
archists, who. after the execution of
valiant and Henri, drew lots To decide
which was TO kill President Carnot.
NJ. Gorian, chief of detectives, has
resigned. He has been severely criti-
clsed for not keeping better guard over
the president. Nj. Burdeau has de-
clded to accept the presidency of the
chamber of deputies. NJ. Dupuy has
consented to remain as premier.
1t is believed the outpouring of the
people, decorations and floral tributes
tomorrow, when the remains of Presi-
dent Carnot are carried to the cnthe-
dral, not to the Pantheon, will lie
greater aud more elaborate than was
ever before witnessed here. 1t seems
that the people have determined to
make the funeral of Carnot demon
stration against anarchy, as we'll as a
tribute OF respect To the dead.
