dismay and anger prevail throughout
France over the cowardly assassination
of President Carnot kilograms OF SYM
pathy are pouring in from all points, ana
newspapers of all shades and opinions
deplore the assassination. Throughout
France the flags are at half-mast and the
public buildings are draped.
Mourning emblems are worn by nearly
every man, woman and child in the city,
and no dwelling seems to be too poor 10
display the emblems of grief. CROWDS OF
people during the morning and this alter
noon have surrounded the palace, where
all foreign ambassadors and Ministers,
Senators and Deputies called during the
day. The majority of the Deputies, alter
calling at the Elysee Palace, assembled at
the Palace Bourbon, where meetings OF
all parties were held during the after
noon.
EXCITEMENT RUNS HIGH.
On the boulevards scenes of the great
est excitement have been witnessed to-
day.
The police had much difficulty in dis
persing the crowds of angry people who

for vengeance against the murderer and
his supposed accomplices. Several 1tal-
ian flags, displayed out OF sympathy
with Frances loss and draped with crepe,
were hooted at, and at last one was torn
into shreds. In every quarter herce
demonstrations against Italian residents
have taken place, and nearly all the ItaI-
ian cafes and restaurants have been
closed.
But if the feeling against the Italians is
strong. the sentiment of hatred with
which the majority regard the anarchists
is still stronger.
During the day a mob, including a
number of members Of the various gym
nastic societies who had arrived III this
city TO take part in the fetes, began TO
gather about the cafes Cast. Mattosi and
Alaieri and about the Italian quarter
Another large crowd gathered about the
hall where the well-knoWn Italian Har-
monte Club meets. and most serious dlS-
order was apprehended. Threats were
heard on all sides against Italians and
anarchists. Were it not for the presence
of the overwhelming force of troops sta
toned in and about the city there is little
doubt that the mob would attack the
Palace of Justice and Wreak vengeance
upon the murderer.
Several of the Italian shops were at
tackled and partly wrecked, and the ltall-
ans were stoned, and IN despite OF the
efforts OF the police and military, the
walks in front of the Italian cafes were
strewn with wreckage. Some of the more
hot-heated men proposed an attack upon
the Italian quarter, and the proposition
was received with wild cries OF approval,
aud i'll moment an enormous MOP
gathered. Before the police could inter
Iere to prevent the mob had attacked all
shops belonging to the foreigners. and
sacked them. The proprietors and their
families were forced to flee for their lives.
In a moment another large band marched
through the streets, and by threats COM
pelled every Italian who kept cafe to
close his place of business.
The crowds in the Rue de la Republique
became threatening, and refused to obey
orders to disperse. 1t was finally found
necessary to command the cuirassiers to
charge the crowd.
The troops are still held in reserve
pnder arms at their barracks. A COM
pany of infantry is also held In reserve IN
q house adjoining the Italian Consulate,
TO be ready to support the police IN case
of attack. At the request OF the local
authorities the Italian Consul has re-
moved The Italian flag from outside the
Consulate.
