Senator Milaud.
On arriving at the prefecture, General
Bofius and the mayor alighted. Presi'
dent Carnot lay unconscious upon the
cushions of the carriage. His eyes we're
closed. His waistcoat was unbuttoned
and his shirt, on which the bright red
cord OF the legion of honor was conspic-
uous, was covered on the left side, just
over the heart, by large blood stain
which extended to the hip. II was i'm.
possible to tell from his appearance
whether he was dead or alive. The
crowd surged about in thu vicinity of the
carriage, but the mounted guards an d
the foot police held them in check som 9
distance from the landau in which the
president was lying. Many were the
expressions OF pity for the presiden, and
anger at his assassination.
General Borius, the project and the
mayor, assisted Oy plumber OF attend
ants, lifted NJ. Oarnot from the carriage
and carried him as easily as possible to
room in the prefecture and laid him
on bed. DR.. Gailleton, who is mayor
OF Lyons, then examined the wound.

declaring that on this subject he would
speak only before tribunal. When he
was searched by the police, book was
found in one OF his pockets in which it
was written that he had been born in
village in the province OF Milan, Italy.
CARNoT's LAST SPEECH.
81. CARROTS last speech was delivered
at the banquet given in his honor. He
dwst upon the success OF the exhibit
ton, and said the same heart beats in
all French breasts when it is known the
honor and security OF the rights OF the
country are at stake. This same union
of al Frenchmen formed a guarantee of
the march towards progress and justice,
to which it belonged to France to give
an example to the world.
Immediately after the death OF Prssi-
dent Carnot, which occurred at 12:45
a. m., Prime Minister Dupuy started on
his return to Paris to officially an
nounce the news TO the senate.
FEELING AGAINST ITALIANS.
After III. Carnot had been taken to
the prefecture, it became generally
known his assassin was an Italian, and
the feeling Of deep indignation among
the crowd found vent in the form OF at
tacks upon cafes kept by inoffensive
natives OF Italy. All ouch places in the
vicinity OF the palsis de commerce were
totally wrecked by the mob.
French flags, which we're in abun-
dance, were procured by the crowd, and
with cries of Down With the For
eigners !" "Out With Them !" hundreds
of people marched to the Rue de la
Barre, IN which street the Italian con-
sulate is situated. There is no doubt
the consulate would have been at
tackled had it not been for the prompt
action of the police who stopped the
crowd and compelled its members to
dispense.
The excitement continues st fever
hsat and it would take very little to
precipitate bloody riots. Threats are
made to take summary vengeance upon
the, countrymen of Santo. and the
be made to put these threats into effect
sent cuirassiers to patrol the city to pre-
vent any outbreak.
TIE DEATH SCENE.
Shortly after midnight the arch bishop
Of Lyons was summoned to the bedside
of the dying president to administer to
him the last rites Of the church. He |
was in the room but short time when
he retired to an adjoining room. He re-
manned until half past IL o'clock, and he
was again summoned to the presidents
room where he administered the sacra-
ment.
M. Carnot remained conscious to the !
last. He realized that his life WAS /
rapidly ebbing away, and twice he said :
"Je men vais." Il am going away
DR.. Poncet leaned over the bed and
said to him:
"Your friends are here, Monsieur lie
President"
Carnot replied: II am grateful for
their presence" and a minute later he
gasped for breath. There was convul.
sive shuddering OF his body and the
president OF France was dead.
The bed in which M. Carnot died was
OF iron. 1t was placed between two
windows OF the palace. At its foot was
the bed of honor, which had been re-
served for the president.
TIE incision made by the doctors in
order to stop the internal hemorrhage
measured about three inches long by
two inches wide.
DISORDERLY M0BS.
1t was thought the entire population
of the city was on the streets when the
attack WAS made, but this later proved
wrong, for az the night advanced, the
crowds were constantly augmenting.
After the attacks upon the Italian
cafes the disorderly element among the
crowd devoted their attention to the
Italians they found upon the streets.
Some of them were pursued and barely
escaped with their lives. The police
had great difficulty in rescuing the
hunted men.
The Rue de la Barre is now barricaded
at both ends and guarded by troops.
