LAST MOMENTS.
The details Of the last moments Of Presi-
dent Carnot, as nearly as can be gaUhefeo
at this time, are these:-
The Archbishop of Lyons reached the
Prefecture at midnight He was at once
admitted to the bedside of the dying Presi-
dent where he remained alone with the
wounded man for a few minutes. What
passed between them is not known.
President Cafnot, according to the state
ments of the physicians was in semi-con-
scious state. The Archbishop withdrew to
the adjoining room while the doctors renew
ed their attentions to the dying man. With
in a quarter of an hour after the Archbishop
left the bedside the death struggle began and
the Archbishop was recalled to the room.
The prelate administered the sacrament
of Extreme Unction to the dying man.
Doctor Poncet asked the PreSldent:-'Do
you know your states"
M. Carnot, who was then breathing feebly,
replied Yes | am dying"
The Archbishop said:-Your friends are
around youn
President Garnet in an almost inaudible
murmur said:-''I am glad to find my friends
here"
Almost within half minute after this
respiration and pulsations of the heart
ceased.
LYING IN STATE.
The body of the dead President has been
transferred from the small bed upon which
he died to the Projects bed. The body is fully
dressed and upon the breast is the grand cor

having expressed strong desire that the
body Of her husband be taken to Paris as
soon as possible. 1t has been arranged that
the body shall leave for Paris this evening,
arriving there before daybreak.
A catafalque (Chapette A1dente) is being
prepared for the reception of the body at
the Palace of the Elysse. Though the
feeling against Italians is running very
high there have been no demonstration
against persons of that nationality
today The police ale doing everything pos
