medlatelY probed the wound.
While this was being done M. Carnot
came to his senses, and said feebly, but
distinctly: How you are hurting
me-"
The doctors, however, continued to
attend the wound, the outward bleed
ing of which had stopped. They knew,
though, that the Presidents condition
was extremely grave, as they more
than suspected that internal hemOr
rhage had commenced
Shortly after midnight the Arch
bishop of Lyons was summoned to the
bedeide of the dying President to ad
minister to him the last rites of the
Church. He was in the room but a
short time when he emerged and re
tired to an az adjoining room. Here he
remained until IL 80 o'clock, 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, and twice he said: "Je
men vrsis."
DR.. Ponce leaned over the bed on
to him: Your friends are here, Mon

M. Carnot replied: II am grateful
for their presence" and in less than q
minute he gasped for breath, there was
a convulsive shuddering Of his body
and the President of France was dead.
THE ASSASSIN SILENT.
Cesare Giovanni Santo, the assassin,
is a beardless young man. When ar
rested he was attired in a brown suit
and wore a peaked cap that matched
the suit in color.
As he marched under the police
guard from the Rue de la Republique
to the station he held his head down,
but his eyes glanced furtively around,
as though he was seeking an opportun
ity to escape from his captors. To
have made such an attempt, however,
would have been the height of fool
hardness unless he desired to commit
suicide, for there is not the slightest
doubt that had he got away from the
protection afforded him by the police
he would have been torn limb from
limb by the crowd, whose every action
showed that they wer thirsting for his
blood.
Santo, who speaks French badly,
when questioned by Project Leipzig 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 to day. He
gave his age as % years. His replies
were given coolly, but without any
sign of bravado. He refused, however,
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 be-
fore a tribunal.
When he was searched by the police
a book was found in of his pockets
in which it was written that he b d
been born in a village IN the Province
of Milan, Italy.
Immediately after the death of N.
Carnot Prime Minister Deputy started
on his return to Paris to officially an
nounce the news to the Senate az 6
Chamber Of Depu les.
ANT ITALIAN FEELING.
Afterit became generally known thai
his assassin was an Italian the feeling
Of deep indignation among the crowd
found vent in the form of attacks upon
cafes kept by inoffensive natives Of
Italy. Three such places in the vicin
ity of the Palace Of Commerce were
totally wrecked by the Infatuated mob
French flags, which were in abundance
were then procured by the crowd and
with cries of Down with the foreign
ers," Out with them," hundreds o.
men and boys marched to the Rue d.
la Barre, in which street the italian
consulate is situated. There is NJ
doubt that the consulate would have
been sacked had it not been for thu
prompt action of the police, WIZ
stopped the crowd and compelled it
members to dispense.
The excitement continues at feve
heat, and it would take very little Il
precipitate bloody anti Italian riots
ALL yer the city threats are made t.
take summary vengeance upon tn
countrymen of Santo, and the authori
ties, fearing that attempts will be mad
to put these into effect ordered bOdie
of cuirassiers to patrol the city to pre-
vent an outbreak. Everywhere tn,
troops are greeted with cries of ''Loni
live the army"
