Here Ne remained until 1890, when he
was again summoned to the presidents
room, where he administered to him
the sacrament.
M. Carnot remained conscious to the
last. He realized that his life was
rapidly ebbing away and twice he said;
"Je men vais." DR.. Ponce leaned over
the bed on which the president was
lying and said to him: "Your friendsar
here, monsieur lie president" M. Carnot
replied: 81 am grateful for their pres
ence," and in less than minute he
gasped for breath, there was a convul-
sive shuddering of his body and the
president Of France was dead. Imme-

Prime Minister Dupuy started on his
return to Paris to officially announce
the news to the senate and the cham

The bed on which M. Carnot died
was of iron. 1t was placed between
two windows of the palace. At its Soot
was the bed of honor which had been
reserved for the president. The IN

stop the internal hemorrhage meas

Murderer Will Not Tell His Motive.
Santo, who speaks French badly,
when questioned by Prefect Lepin at
the police station in Rue Moliere, said
he had lived at Cette, department of
Herault, for the past six months, and
had only come to Lyons Sunday.
He gave his age as % years His
replies were given coolly, but without
any sign of bravado. He refused, how
ever, to answer any of the
many questions put to him regarding
his motive for stabbing the president,
declaring that on this subject he
would speak only before tribunal.
When he was searched by the police a
book was found in one of his pockets
in which it was written that he had
been born in a village in the province
of Milan, Italy.

After NJ Carnot had been taken to

among the crowd found vent in the
form of attacks upon cafes kept by in,

: such places in the vicinity of the pal

by the infuriated mob.
All over the city threats are made tc
take summary vengeance upon the
countrymen of Santo, and the authori

After the attacks upon the Italian
cafes the disorderly element among
S the crowds devoted their attention to
the Italians whom they found upon the
streets. Several of these men were
pursued by the mob and barely escaped

extraordinarily vigilant, had grea
