doctors. You win understand that un-
der these circumstances, ,allhearts being
llled with sorrow. the performance
cannot take place." The pretect then
left the theater.
Immediately after the president was
stabbed the horses attached to his car
riag were started at gallop for the
prefecture. The president lay limp In
the carriage, His eyes were closed and
he was apparently lifeless. His clothes
had been loosened so that the red sash
| OF the Legion of Honor was displayed,
on his left side near the waist Il wet
red spot told the whole story OF his
wound. He was lifted with the greatest
care from the vehicle and was carried
to his room on the first floor. He was
laid on the bed and NJ. Gaileton. the
| mayor Of the city. examined the wound.
The young assassin's full name was
given by him at the police station as
Cesare Giovanni Santo He is nearly
twenty-five years old. has very small
moustache and wore light brown suit
with peaked cap. On his way TO the
station he held his head down and
glanced continually right and left as II
looking for some possible means OF es-
cape
Upon being interrogated he gave his
name, but professed to know too little
of the language to say much more. His
inability to speak French Is rather pc
culiar. as he has lived In Cette for the
last six months and is believed to have
been considerably longer In the coun-

London, June 25.-The Standards
Paris dispatch says: The authorities
made every effort to prevent the MUIR
der becoming known to the public. The
Elysee palace officials refused to give
information, and telephone communi
cation between Paris and Lyons was
stopped. The news of the murder
threw political men into state of con-
sternation. A workmans book found in
Santos pocket shows that he was born
in Moulevesconti, province of Milan.
After DR.. Gaileton's examination of
the presidents wound 1t was decided
that an operation was necessary. DIR.
Ollier proceeded to probe the wound.
The president thereupon regained con-
sciousness and exclaimed in a clear
voice:
How you are hurting me!''
The News says: The terrible news of
the assassination of the president of
the French republic will be received
with shock of horror all over the
world. No such blow has been struck
by political hatred and fanaticism since
the bullet of insane Guiteau mortally
wounded General Garfield or the pistol
Of Wilkes Booth killed President Lin
coin. M. Carnot, like the presidents of
the sister republic, was a man whom
not only his countrymen, but other ma
tons regarded with the utmost conf
dance and respect. In difficult and
even dangerous times he has filled his
exalted post with a personal dignity
and political sagacity which have
been Of the greatest service to the
world. He has brought the republic
through more than one crisis which
has threatened its stability and has
kept his country at peace. He was in
many respects an ideal president His
period of office would have concluded
with the present year, and there SEEM
ii.
His presidency will be regarded as the
| most brilliant and successful of the
series. His death following the brutal
attack upon him is a very serious ca
lamity for France and Europe.
The Chronicle says. Lincoln died in
theater at the hand of a lunatic en-
ragged at the defeat Of confederacy,
which the president intended to let
down so gently. President Garfield fell
likewise under the bullet of one who
was not made save in a political sense,
and died after two months of anguish.
These are the only parallels that his
tory affords to the fiendish atrocity of
last night. 1t was understood that
President Carnot did not intend to seek
reelection that might have been his for
the asking.
Never was a man less likely to excite
personal vengeance and unless we are
to suppose that he has been the victim
Of a mad mans frenzy it must be as
sumed that he has been stricken be-
cause he did notpardon the anarchists
who were recently guillotined for the
murders Of innocent men and women.
Sadie Carnot is lying dead, slain by
the wild injustice of a blind savagery.
A madness SO perfectly imbecile as
that of his assassin the world has never
yet known. 1t is only probable that the
foul deed will give handle to the
apostles Of reaction throughout Europe.
