sAssin, IL a Rabid Anarchist.
LYONS, June 26.-The archbishop OF
Lyons again visited the prefecture yester-
day afternoon, and offered consolation TO
Nine. Carnot and her children. During
the afternoon the doctors made post
mortem examination of the remains OF the
late president, and afterward issued re-
port to the effect that the wound was
seated just beneath the right false ribs
II was two-thirds of an inch wide and four
inches deep. The blade of the stiletto
penetrated the right lobe Of the liver, cut
ting the portal vein in two places. The
latter caused intra-peritoneal hemorrhage
resulting in death
The bodyof NJ. Carnot was taken from
the prefecture in the evening and placed
on the train that will convey it to Paris
After prayers for the dead had been Of
fered the casket containing the remains
was carried out and placed on a gun car
riage. While this was being done salvos
Of artillery were fired trumpets were
sounded and drums beaten. Every civil
and military honor was shown the dead
The square in front of the prefecture
was densely thronged, as were all the
streets leading to the railway stations.
Troops and gendarmes kept the route
clear. The procession that followed the
body was very lengthy one. It included
all the civil ard military authorities of
Lyons and a large number of delegates
from different cities and towns As the
cortege passed slowly along the streets
were rem arkably silent. Almost the only
sounds that could be heard were the
tramping Of the horses and the rumbling
of the gun carriage. Every man along the
line of the march removed his hat as the
body passed by, and many silent prayers
were offered for the repose of NJ. Carnot's
soul.
No sooner had the cortege gone by, how
| ever than great change appeared in the
| crowd. The people, who had heretofore
stood revereut and mute before the ma
| tion's martyr, now gave vent to their peut
up excitement and rage. Everywhere
| could be heard cries of Long live Car
notl" death to his murderer The sud
| den transition in the feelings Of the crowd
boded i'll for the resident Italians, and
when some Of the more hot headed men in
the crowd proposed that an attack be
made upon the Italian quarters the prop
osition was received with wild cheers of
approval.
In almost less time than it takes to tell
| it the enormous mob, at the head of which
was carried a French flag, was en- route
| TO the part of the city given to the Ital-
| ians. Before the police could intervene
| to prevent the trouble the mob had at
tackled all the shops belonging to the for
eigners and sacked them The proprie-
| tors and their families We're forced to flee
| for their lives. In the meantime another
large band marched through other streets
and by threats compelled every Italian
| who kept a cafe to close his place of bust
ness. The crowds in the Rue de la Re
publique became threatening and refused
to obey the orders given them to dispense.
1t was finally found necessary to com
mand the cuiriassairs to charge the crowd
in order to clear the street.
The mob afterward set fire to several OF
| the Italian cafes. A commissary police
begged the crowd to respect the afiliction
| Madame Carnot, but the rioters replied
with shouts of, "We will avenge Carnotp'
The most intense excitement prevails.
AS the night advanced the rioting in
the city became more widespread, and at
one time it appeared as though the mobs
would take full possession of the town.
Thousands of men and youths paraded
the streets and sacked every Italian store
they came across. The streets were strewu
with debris of every description. During
the night fully 300 arrests were made.
At Toulon the British steamer Spardou
was being discharged by number OF
French and Italian stevedores One of the
latter spoke disparagingly of the dead
president. The words had scarcely left
his lips when several of the Frenchmeu
fell upon him, and one of them struck the
italian a fearful blow on the head with a
heavy iron bar badly fracturing his skull
The Italian had strength enough to draw
a knife, but before he had a chance to use
the weapon the police intervened. The
officers had the greatest difficulty in saw
ing him from the crowd which had gath
cred. Physicians say he can live only g
short time.
Riots between French and Italians are
also reported at Grenoble and Dixon. Al
Grenoble the populace Invaded the Ital
ian consulate, tore down the Italian flag
and escuteheOn and smashed the furni
niture.
Deputy Chaudey, whose father was shot
during the commune, was driving in the
official procession at the time NJ. Carnot
was stabbed His carriage was directly
behind the presidents The officer who
/ was riding beside NJ, Carnot's carriag,
was asked by the president to stand asid,
in order to let the good people, as NJ. Car
not termed them, who wanted TO shak,
hands with him come nearer, The mex
minute the assassin jumped upon th'
step of the carriage. The president held
out his hand to shake the hand of tn,
stranger when Santo thrust his knif,
with tremendous force into NJ, Carnot',
/ body.
The police are actively engaged il
searching for accomplices of Sauto Thel
are particularly anxious to find hal
dresser's assistant named MaIias Violly
who is said TO have repeatedly predicteC
that President CarnOt would be murdered
in his carriage ON arriving here. An ltal
ian woman, who proves TO have been Viol
ly's mistress, and one Of Violly's associate
banned RouN have been arrested. Niolll
himself, however has disappeared Magis
trate Benoist believes that Sauto was IN
spired as much by desire to ayenge hi
