house members say the Louisiana men
cannot afford to vote against a bill so
favorable to the sugar interests simply
because no provision for a bounty on
this years crop is included, as congress
could certainly pass a free sugar bill
before adjournment.
There was q hurried conference today
between Senators German, Jones and
Smith. Previous to this the Louisiana
senators made a vigorous protest against
the proposed sugar schedule which did
not provide for a bounty on the product
Of this year. The senatorial conference
was supposed to have been held to as
certain il some new arrangement OF the
schedule could not be proposed which
after the conference of senators was over
it was stated by one Of the senators that
the sugar schedule would be agreed to
on the lines suggested yesterday and that
the main fight between the conferees, he
had been told, would be on coal and
iron orc. When a short recess was
taken the house announced that no
agreement had been reached on the
three main items, sugar, iron and coal.

DEATH BY THE GUILLOTIKf
The Wretch GlOries in the Deed and
Received the Verdict with "Vive Ia
Revolution SOciale."

LYONS, France, Aug. 3.-There we're
but few people around the place Of
justice when the trial Of Santo, the
assassin Of President Carnot, was re-
sumed today. The prisoner seemed
even more defiant than yesterday and
took his seat with a hooking smile upon
his face. Leblanc, a fellow prisoner
with Santo at Marseilles, testified that
Santo told him he intended to kill
President Carnot, probably at Lyons,
when the chief magistrate visited that
city. THAT'S a lie" interrupted Santo
excitedly, 1 never told you or any one
else about my plans. Leblanc continued:
"Santo confessed to me that he was
designated by lot" "That is untrue"
ehrieked Santo. "How untrue" asked
Leblanc, turning to the prisoner. II
said to you after you had made the re-
mark, but who would be 80 bold as to
kill President Carnot? l saw him in
Paris surrounded by troops and police.
You answered he will be chosen by lot"
There was great excitement in court
while the prisoner and Leblanc were
speaking to each other. Later Leblanc
said: "Santo told me that he had often
seen King Humbert in the streets but
he added that to kill him it would be
necessary to have a rifle and shoot him
from the street, as he would be surround.
| ed by the soldiers. ""That is a lie" shouted
the prisoner. II was never chosen to
kill President Carnot. Moreover, abso'
lutte liberty Of action prevails among
anarchists"
The prosecuting attorney recited the
details Of the trial and demanded that
the jury should not hesitate to do it's
duty. NJ. Dubrueille, for the defense
made an appeal for the prisoner. Al
noon the jury retired and after an alb.
sence of fifteen minutes announced thu
verdict, "Guilty, without extenuatine
circumstances" When the presiding
Judge, M. Breuillac, pronounced the sen
tence, "Death by the G~uillotine," Sante
exclaimed, "Vive la revolution soclale.'
The prisoner was Immediately hurried
towards his cell. Outside Of the cour'
room he cried: Courage comrades
vive la anarchi." In spite Of the pris
oner's defiant attitude his habitua
smile disappeared when the sentences
was pronounced.
M. Dubrueille gave notice OF an ap
peal and asked that the presiding judge
charge to the jury. at the opening Of thu
c~ession, be entered on the records.

consideration in which it has been con.

strong reasons which would make q

lust and warm desire, I have for some
time felt that my advaning years have
placed an obstacle in its way, such as

doubtedly your letter has supplied the
strongest motives for an attempt tc
