:. PARIS, June 26.-Mme. Carnot returned
TO Paris from Lyons early this morning
with the remains OF the President cofined
iR plain oak. The civil and police authOrl-
ties received her. About 1000 persons,
principally members of the working class,
were massed outside the railway station.
Nine, Carnot had on the gray mauve-
trimmed silk dress and the bonnet she
wore nine days ago at the Grand Prix
race, the last stats function she was ever
TO attend as Presidente. When the news
of the murderous attempt reached Nine.
Carnot Sunday night she lad on this cos
. tune, and had NJ time TO change it before
hurry ing away to Lyons. Until she came
back to the Palais Elysee she did not dof
q her dress.
About 5000 persons were in the station
: at Dion to salute the remains. The
widow was accompanied by her three sons
p. 10. Paris. The train was awaited at the
terminus by funeral wagon. two landau
aud a coupe for the officers, who went
with the President to Lyons. The party
were sOoR conveyed TO the Palais Elysee.
TIE troops were drawn up in the court
yard and saluted the funeral wagon. On
alTghling Nine. Garnet was embraced by
her daughter-in-laW and mother-in-law.
- Nine. Carnot has not touched food since
SJBday night, but she was able to-day to
drink deep dTaughts of milk, favored with
coffee. Her mental and moral vigoT sus-
tainS: her. She passed to-day ordering
mourning, arranging for the funeral, die
iating answers 10 messages from Queen
VIC Oria,. President Cleveland, Emperor
William and Empress Frederick, the Gar,
X ng Hum bert and others aud receiving
the EmbassadOTs bringing them. EN-
per0r William wifi send a Prince Of hi
own house with two Prussian generals TO
attend the funeral. Mrs. Marshal Nc
Mahon sent feeling telegram in which
deep sertow was expressed.
Seemingly, n. CaTnOts fate tames the
ambltion OF those politicians who coveted
the pres idency. Challemel-Lae0ur.S S peaker
OF the Senate, refuses 10 run for the Office.
Prime Minister DupuY seemingly has the
best chance, but is less keen than was NJ.
Casimlr-Perier. Octogensrian Arago, the
astronomers son, is hardly placed. but
because he is old and tottering, may get
in.. NJ. BrlssOn, who has been a candidate
twice already, has some chance. NJ.
Casimir- Perier would just now be danger
Gus because he is reDugnant to the indus
trial working classes. 1t is on the cards
that a large number Of Opportunists may
IN lie with the Radicals and Socialists on
NJ. BFis5on or M. Bourgeois. The latter is
an outsider, but so was Carnot in 1877
under different circumstances, however.
A Presidential election, in the nature of
a Vatican conclave, is the object of end
less bargaining and intriguing. NJ. Cssimir-
Periet is the man for the wealthy bour-
geoisie and aristocratic society. He is wise
in bis own conceit, but the responsi Diities
involved in the Presidency might cure
this. 10 America he might pass for an
old-fashioned Wing.
Nine. Carnot has piles of letters threat
ening her husband and sons, received be-
fore and after the execution of Valiant
and Henry. Not long ago NJ. Carnot,
when walking in the Bois with General
Borlus, chief of his military household.
was shadowed by sinister-looking fellow,
of whom he could only rid himself by re-
reating to his carriage. He had been
warned from Italy to keep we'll guarded.
Other warnings came from Brussels to be-
ware of the Grand Prix On June H. In
December So0,O 900 francs was voted to in
crease the police force, but III. Carnot was
left practically unguarded.
=. DHrlog FIVE years the Prefecture of Po-
lice was charged to secure his safety, and
1t dId;ft well, appointing the sharpest de-
tectlves to watch over him. Under the
pretense Of economy this duty was shifted
TO-. the: Ministry of the Interior, where,
says the Echo de Paris, unmention bic in
trigues were rife. The officials there were
devoted TO NJ. Constans, between whom
and Nj CarnOt there was feud. Wastbe
change made TO worry NJ. Carnot into leav-
ing the Elysee by Grousing sense of in
security? Possibly.
When NJ Carnot was going 70 Toulon IN
VISIT the Russian squadron, a warning was
received from Scotland Yard, but no at
teniiop was paid 20 it. On June 90. the
.Ptefect Herault telegraphed to the Minis
ter of the Interior that dangerous Italian
p anarchist named Santo had arrived AT
'Cette.: This intimation was also ignored.
