honor when Project Rivaud and Depu-
ty Chaudey appeared in the front of the
presidents box. The whole audience
arose as if to greet the president. The
project cried out in a voice broken
with sobs: 1.-THE president has just
been aSsassinated."
The women screamed and several
tainted while the men uttered excla-
nations of fury and ran from the the
ater with cries of vengeance.
When silence was in 4 measure re-
stored, NJ. Rivaud continued: ''In the
Rue de la Republique 4 miscre-
ant, under the pretext of presenting
a petition stabbed Nj. Carnot with a
dagger" NJ. Rivaud was again inter-
rupted with shouts of Death to the
murderer, revenge, revenge"
Waving his hands for silence, NJ.
Rivaud again spoke, saying: DO not
make my mission more painful. We
left N. Carnot in the hands Of the
doctors. You understand that under
these conditions our hearts are filled
with sorrow, and that the proposed
performance in the presidents honor
cannot take place"
The audience then leftthe building,
many OF them proceeding at once to
the prefecture, where they stood in
the streets waiting for any report that
might be vouchsafed to them from
the building, and discussing the crime
they considered had cast disgrace
upon the fair fame of their city.
VENGEANCE ON ALL ITALIANS.
As soon as it became known that
the assassin was an Italian, mobs
wrecked Italian cafes, and then bear
ing French flags and crying Down
with the foreigners!" out with
them!" hundreds of people marched
to the Rue de la Barre, in which
street the Italian consulate is stu
ated. There is no doubt the consulate
would have been sacked had it not
been for the prompt action of the
police, who stopped the crowd and
compelled its members to dispense.
After the attacks upon the Italian
cafes the disorderly element among
the crowds devoted their attention to
the Italians whom they found upon
the street. Several of them were pur-
sued by the mob and barely escaped
with their lives. The police, who
were extraordinarily vigilant, had
great difficulty in rescuing the hunted
men. The Rue de la Barre is now
barricaded at both ends and guarded
by troops.
NJ CARNOT WITH HER DEAD.
Nine. Carnot, accompanied by her
two sons, arrived at Lyons at Z o'clock
this morning. The widow wa most
respectfully greeted by a large crowd
of people assembled about the rail-
road depot. She proceeded immedi-
ately to the prefecture, where the
body of the late president now re-
poses in state.
When Nine. Carnot reached the pre-
lecture the death chamber was cleared
of ell but the family and the widow,
who had been joined by her third son,
was left alone with her dead. The
late presidents family remained for a
long time in prayer before the bier,
and then the widow was led away by
her three sons, all four weeping bit
terly.
Later a consultation between the
sons of the late president and the
authorities in charge of the body took
place. The exact nature of their de-
alterations has not been made public,
but it was stated that Nine. Carnot
did not desire the body of her late
husband to be embalmed and wished
it removed Immediately from Lyons
to Paris in order that it might lie in
state in the chapel of the Elysee
palace.
THE BODY LYING IN STATE.

number of the high officers of the
presidents military household, who,
with several Sisters of Charity have
watched the remains throughout the
night.
The prefecture itself is surrounded
with troops, and a strong de tachment
of infantry is guarding the building
in which Santo, the assassin, is con-
fined.
THE AssAssIN's PAST RECORD.
The inquiries of the police this
afternoon resulted in showing that
Santo was born in Motta Visconti,
northwest of Pavia, in December,
1873. The prisoner is a baker by
trade and was tried in Milan in 1899
for breach of the peace, but he was
acquitted, owing to lack of sufficient
evidence against him.
Santo was known as a dangerous
anarchist and delivered anarchists
lectures of the widest character
before going to Switzerland last year.
The police are keeping a set
watch over Anarchists in all the cities
of France, and it is expected that sew
eral important arrests will be made.
There no longer seems to be much
doubt that the presidents assassina-
ton was the result of an Anarchistic
conspiracy to avenge the deaths of
Valiant and Emil Henri, the two re-
Gently executed Anarchists. Twenty
detectives have gone to Cette. depart
ment of Herfault, where Santo was
recently domiciled, in order to track
down his supposed accomplices.
