Just before tho procession started n
white peacock belonging TO the Elysee
disturbed the hustle in the garden.
Perched on tree the peacock screeched
loudly just as the procession departed,
the birds voice being heard above the
booming of the salute of 10l guns, the
military music and the murmuring of
the immense crowds gathered about tho
palace. The repeated shrill screams of
the peacock produced strange, wierd
effect upon all its hearers. 1t seemed

PARIS, June 2S.--A dispatch from
Montepelier, capitol of the department
of Herault, situated about rs miles from
Marsoilles, announces an Anarchist
tragedy growing out Of the efforts Of the
police to discover the accompllces of
Caesaro SantO, the assassin of President
Sadi Carnot. Cette and Montepelier,
both in the same department, have been
mentioned as places where the'murderer
stopped previous to making his visit to
Lyons with the intention of taking the
life of the chief magistrate of France.
Consequently both these towns have
been secured by detectives since Mon
day morning.
Santo has from the first claimed that
he acted entirely on his own initiative
and that he had no accomplices. The
police soon formed n different opinion
and believed that he followed out a
carefully laid plan, receiving instruc-
tons and advice at the different towns
he.yisited.
A SUSPICIOUS REMARK.
The detectives who have been at work
in Montpelier yesterday evening de-
cided to surround and search the house
of man named Granier, supposed to
be an Anarchist and possible accom-
plicc of Santo. Granier, itappears, dur.
ing last Sunday afternoon of the attack
upon President Carnot, was heard to re-
mark, "by this time Carnot must have
received his quietus." As the President
was not stabbed until late TIE same
evening it was naturally concluded
when thefnews of the outrage became
public and when it was shown that
Santo had visited Montpelier, that Ora
nier must have known that an attempt
was to be made upon the life of the
President.
A HORRIBLE SUICIDE.
When GranierS house was sur.
rounded the detectives burst in the
door and summoned the Anarchist to
surrender. Grandier was seated at a
table eating his supper when the police
burst in upon him. He sprang to his
feet and for moment stood motionlesS
with surprise. Then with surprising
swistness and before the detectives
could secure him, the Anarchist picked
up long and sharp knife and plunged
it into his abdomen, and with a few
swift turns of the wrist, disembowclled
himself and fell to the floor, where hi
expired almost Immediately afterwards

conspiracy which resulted in the murder
of President Carnot.
sANTo CAREFULLY WATCHED.
Santo is still confined in cell in the
prison at Lyons, and is carefully
watched to prevent him from attempt
ing suicide. He is described as dull
uneducated young fellow, In prison HI
sleeps well and eats heartily; does no
smoke, and appears indifferent as to hi!
fate.
Santo will be tried, as already an
nounced, on July 23d, at Lyons, but thu
charge against him will be parricide
instead OF murder.
The President has asked DEPUTY
Auguste Burdcau, who is his particula
friend, to form Cabinet.
