IN plain oak. The civil and police authori
ties received her. About 1000 persons
rincipally members of the working class
we're massed outside the railway station.
Nine. CarBot had on the grey mauve
trimmed silk dress and the bonnet she
Wore nine days ago at the grand Prix race
the last state function she was ever to at
tend as presidente. When the news of the
nurderous attempt reached Nine Carnot
Sunday night, she had on this costume and
had no time TO change it before hurrying
away to Lyons. Until she came back t.
the palace Of the Elysee she did not dofi
her dress.
About 1000 persons were in the station
ct Dion TO silently salute the remains.
The widow was accompanied by her
three sons TO Paris. The train was awaited
at the terminus by a funeral wagon, two
landaus aud a coupe for the officers who
went with the president to Lyons. The
party were soon conveyed to the palace of
the Eiysee.
Troops were drawn I'D out in the court
yards and saluted the funeral wagon. On
"iIghting Nine Carnot was embraced by
ber daughter nj NV and mother-in-law.
THE WIDOWS GRIEF.
Madam Carnot has not touched food
Since Sunday night, but she was able today
to drink deep draughts of milk favored
with coffee, Her mental and moral vigor
sustained her. She spent today ordering
mourning, arranging for the funeral,
ulctatlng answers TO messages from Queen
Victoria, President Cleveland, Emperor
William and Empress Augusta, the car,
King Hum bert and others, and receiving
the ambassadors bringing them. Emperor
William Will send a prince of his own
house with Two Prussian generals TO at
tend the funeral. Mrs. Marshal Mcmahon
sent feeling telegram in which deep sor-
row spoke TO deep sorrow.
Madame Carnot has piles of letters
threatening her husband and sons, re-
ceived before and after the executions of
Valiant and Henri. Net long ago Presi-
dent Carnot, when walking in she Bots
with Gen. -Borious, chief of the military
household, was Swallowed by a sinister
looking fellow of whom be only rid him
self by retreatlng TO his carriage. He
had been warned from Italy TO keep we'll
guarded. Other warnings came from
Brussels to beware of the Grand Prix on
June H.iIn December 500, 0O0 frances were
voted 10 increase the police force but ".
Garnet was left practically unguarded.
THE PRESIDENT OFTEN WARNED.
During five years the prefecture of
police was changed to secure his safety,
ind 1t did 1t well, appointing the sharpest
detectives 10 watch over HIM. Under the
pretense OF economy this duty was shifted
10 the ministry of the interior, where, says
The Echo de Paris. unmeDtionable in
frlgues were rife The officials there were
revoted TO NJ Constrans, between whom
aud NJ. Carnot there was a feud. Was the
change made to worry NJ. Carnot into
lasaxy ~,
insecurity? Possibly. When NJ Carnot
was going 10 Toulon to visit the Russian
squadron, warning was received from
Scotland yard but no attention was paid
10 1t. On June 20 the project of HerauIt
telegraphed TO the minister of the interior
hat dangerous Italian Anarchist named
bsnto had arrived al Getto. This intima-
lion was also ignored, with the Lyons
tragedy for the consequence.
CANDIDATES ARE CHARY.
Seemingly NJ. Carnot's fate tames the
ambition OF those politicians who coveted |
The presidency. n. La Cour, speaker OF !
the senate, refuses to run for the Office |
Prlme Minister Dupny seemingly has the |
best chance, but Is less keen than was NJ |
tasimir-Perier. Octogenarian Aarapo. |
The astronomers son, is hardly placed, |
but because h is so old and tottering NAV
yet III. NJ. Brlsson, who has been a can |
ildate twice already, has some chance NJ
would just now be dan
Eerous because he Is repugnanC to the IN
iiustrlai working classes. L. is on the
cards that large number Of Opportunities
may unite with the Radicals aud Socialists
on NJ. Brisson or NJ. Bourgeois. Bourgeois
Is an outsider, but SO was Carnot in 1887.
under different circumstances, however.
i presidential election is in the natnra
of vatican conclave and is the object of
endless bargaining and intriguing NJ
Iaslmlr-Perier is the man for the wealthy
bourgeolsle and aristocratic society. He
IS wise In bis own conceit, but the re-
sponslblilties involved in the presidency
might cure this In America he might
pass for AN old fashioned WING.
