scribing In detrll the act Of the assassin.
doubt could no longer prevail. Then
came the brief dispatch announcing
that NJ. Carn0t was dead.
To describe the varied emotions that
filled the minds of the Parisians would
be impossible. In many instances off,
Gals who were seen by the representa-
tiyes of the Associated Press were too
much overcome by the suddenness OF
the disaster to express any opinion
as TO the results that would fol-
low the act Of the assassin. Others
expressing the deepest regret at the
death OF the PRESIDENT were chary of
Eiving any publicity to their political
opinions. But among the great class
outside the officials nothing but deep
sorrow and Indignation were expressed
at the cowardly blow ttat has deprived
France of her PRESIDENT and
everywhere speculation was rife as
to the motive that had prompted
the crime. Many persons jumped to the
conclusion that the assassination was
the act of an anarchist. but as matter
of tact nothing whatever is positively
known as yet as to the cause that led to
the taking Of the presidents life.
n ny persons believe that the crime
was the work OF an irresponsible
"crank,' whose enmity against France
and her president was kindled by the
Aigues Mortes riots. when many ltal-
ians were killed. and who determined
to wreak vengeance for the wrongs
done his countrymen. Whatever the
motive for the crime, the act has
plunged the whole OF France into tho
deepest mourning.
Aside from his political enemies Pres.
ldent Garnet was universally beloved.
His public upright life endeared him TO
the masses Of the people. and his hon
esty OF purpose and devotion to the.
interests of France were unquestioned.
1t is believed that his funeral, which
will be an imposing state function, will
be the occasion OF one of the. greatest
demonstrations of popular love and
respect that France has seen in many
years.
On every side the deepest sympathy
is expressed for Nine. Carnot, who did
so much socially to make her husbands
administration popular. Nine. Carnot
was at the palace OF the Elysee when
the news Of the assassination was con-
veyed to her by an official Of the presI-
dents household. She at first refused
to believe 1t, asking why any one could
desire 10 kill her husband. When the
truth Of the dispatch was impressed
upon her she became almost Frustrated
with grief. She demanded to be at
once taken to Lyons. and arrangements
were soon perfected with the railway
company. and in short time, in com :
pany with two Of her daughters. who
were weeping bitterly. she was speed
ing to Lyons in the hope that they
would arrive there to find the report of
the presidents condition exaggerated.
The journey is about 3l5 miles by
rail, and before the train had proceeded
more than a dozen miles dispatch was
handed aboard OF it from one of the sta
tions where it had been signaled to
stop. announcing that NJ. Carnot was
dead.
dit would be difficult to express at this
time an opinion Of any value as to the
result of the assassination OH the future
of France. That political cabals will
be formed to secure the election OF NJ.
Carnot's successor goes without saying,
but the time In which such combina-
tions can be formed would be limited,
for ON Wednesday afternoon the senate
and chamberof deputies will meet in
joint session to eject his successor.
The most prominent name In connec-
ton with the presidency is that of NJ.
Castmir-Perier. some time prime minis
ter. and now president of the chamber
of deputies; That he is well qualified
to fill the position is conceded: but it is
scarcely believed that he can be elected
without bitter struggle. The political
situation, complicated before. now be.
comes more so indeed
LONDON. June PA Paris dispatch
says: Until the meeting OF the congress,
which is composed of the senate ana the
chamber OF deputies. the president of
the senate is the president of the repub-
lie ad interim. The congress will meet
Wednesday. Two candidates remain,
NJ. Casimir-Perler and NJ. Charles
Dupuy: The election Of the former is
probable.
