also applauded.
A panic occurred at the Arcades Of the
Rue de la Rivoli, near the Rue Cambon.
As the end of the procession passed an
officers horse shied and backed into the
crowd. Those behind the first few lines
of the crowd were not aware of the cause
Of the disturbance and some foolish per-
son shouted, "a bombp The affrighted
sightseers made desperate rush in their
efforts to escape what they believed to be
an impending explosion. Stands and
benches packed with people were over
turned some persons fell TO the ground
and were trampled under foot and women
screamed and tainted. For time IL
looked as If a serious disaster would oc-
cur. But the procession was stopped, and
when the police succeeded in reassuring
the crowds it was found that, although
numbers of people were hurt, no one was

When the head of the funeral procession
had reached the cathedral the services
were at once begun. After the religious
services the procession reformed and
marched across the river to the Pan
theon. The scenes witnessed during the
| passage of the procession from the palace
to Notre Dame We're repeated. There was
a number of spontaneous outbursts of
cheering, and especially when Casimir-

Premier Dupuylduring his remarks said
| president Carnot gave his life for his
country He died for France and for the
republic. He was struck down in cow
ardly manner and with savage vindictive-
ness. The people concerned in this out
rage must be reduced to powerlessness.
"Carnot fell like a soldier on the field of
honor. At the moment he already could
see before him the hour of repose, for he
had not the slightest idea of soliciting ~
election, which he considered contrary TO
the spirit of the constitution.
president Carnot had the highest con-
ception of the Office OF president of the re-
public. He knew how to gain, privately
and publicly, the sympathy and respect
of France and foreign lands, by their
unanimous sorrow, have manifested their
! sympathy and admiration for the man,
the citizen and the magistrate, and, more
especially, for the man of peace, TO the
maintenance of which he devoted all his
efforts
president Carnot will be placed to rest
beside his illustrious grandfather, L'Or-
ganiziteur de la Nictoire. His death will
enfold at the same time the genius of wal
and the genius of peace. History will say
that he wished to unite all Frenchmen
and in wise, brave, progressive and free
republic"
Premier Dupuy then depicted the life OF
the late president, reviewed his increasing
popularity before his death, and concluded
his address with saying:
France feels the greatness of its loss
We thank you for having prepared g
union of its sons with the common love
felt for the republic and for the father

: draped with mourning. Deign to accept
this supreme homage of gratitude anC
