WAS WARNED.
Minister Of Interior Knew

No Heed Was Paid by Him to Warning
OF the Prefect OF Herault.

dent had reached here, and before 1T was
known that he was mortally wounded, q
number of French and Italian workmen
employed ON the horsecar lines were
drinking In a wineshop. An Italian made
remark which the Frenchmen regarded
as an insult A free fight followed and
caused the gathering of mob of French
men.
The latter invaded the yards of the
horsecar company and attacked and
badly beat the Italians who were en-
p1oyed there
Another riotous French mob formed on
the Avenue Theirs. The Italian cafes
were attacked and their contents de-
stroyed in some cases, and in others they
were simply compelled to close. A num-
ber OF Italians stores were treated In the
same manner.
The mob marched through the streets
shouting; "Down with the Italians"
The police were unable TO disperse the
rioters, and several Italians were beaten
and kicked. Later the mob was re-en-
forced and proceeded to the Rue GAM
BETA There somebody cried, ITO the
italian consulate"
The police in vain tried to check the
mob, but they were overpowered. The
leaders of this demonstration procured
ladder, fixed it to the balcony of the
Italian consulate and several of the riot
ers entered the consulate, tore up the
Italian flag, smashed the escutcheon,
broke the furniture, threw the statuettes
upon the floor and kicked them to pieces,
and finally seizing upon two large and
handsome oil paintings representing
King Humbert and Queen Margherita Of
Italy. they threw them into the street.
Soldiers then chsrged upon the mob
After a short conflict the rioters were
driven out of the consulate and ont OF the
street in which 1t is situated The pre-
feet made an apology to the Italian con-
sui for the outrageous manner in which
the rioters had behaved.
The two leaders of the attack upon the
Italian consulate were arrested, and this
caused a renewal of the disturbance.
Several dangerous mobs gathered as soon
as the news of the arrest of the ringlead-
ers became known, and finally matters
assumed such serious aspect that the
project was compelled to summon the
troops of the garrison.
The military authorities occupied all
the public squares and boulevards with
infantry, cavalry and artillery. and
Grenoble was to all intents and purposes
An state of siege. The officers in COM
mand OF the troops were given orders to
take stern measures to prevent rioting.
Widow Bears Up Bravely
Nine. Carnot returned To Paris from
Lyons with the remains of the president
coffined In plain oak. The civil and police
authorities received her, but no time was
spent in vain compliments.
About 1000 persons, chiefly mem bers of
the working class, were massed outside
the railway station. The widow was ac-
companied by her three sons to Paris.
The train was awaited at the terminus |
by funeral wagon, two landaus and |
coupe for the officers who went with the
president to Lyons. The mournful partv
were soon conveyed to the palace of the
Elysee.
Mme Carnot has not touched food
since Sunday night. but she was able yes
terday to drink deep draughts of milk.
Favored with coffee Her mental and
moral vigor sustains her. She spent yes.
