in which the body of the late presi-
dent lies in state presents a
most impressive appearance. The
remains of the murdered man are
clad in a dress suit, and the cross
on his breast is the grand carbon
legion of honor Of which, as chief
of state, he was grand master.
Around the bier are stationed a
number OF high officers OF the
French military, who with several
sisters of charity have watched the
remains throughout the night.
The prefecture itself is surround
ed with troops and strong detach-
ment of infantry is guarding the
building in which the assassin is
confined. When Nine. Carnot
reached the prefecture the death
chamber was cleared of all but the
family, and the widow, who had
been joined by her third son, was
left with the dead. The late presi-
dents family remained for long
time in prayer before the bier and
then the widow was led away by
her three sons, all four weeping Bit
terly.
The feeling of public anger which
prevails in the city as a result of
the assassination is almost beyond
description. On the boulevards
scenes of greatest excitement have
been witnessed today. Police had
the greatest difficulty in dis
persing the crowds Of wild and an
CRY people who assembled at diff
ferent points discussing the tragedy
cursing the assassin and calling
for vengeance against the murderer
and his supposed accomplices. The
fact that the assassin is Italian
gives rise to a most dangerously
bitter feeling against Italy and
Italians, and several Italian flags,
displayed out of sympathy with
Frances loss, and draped with
Grape, were hooted at and in one
instance was pulled down
and torn into shreds. Nearly all
the Italian cafes and restaurants
have been closed. But if the feel
ing against Italians is strong, the
sentiment of hatred with which
the majority of the people regard
the anarchists is still stronger and
is growing hourly in intensity.
Santo, the murderer, has boldly
asserted he is an anarchist and
therefore upon anarchists are peo-
| pie pouring vials of their wrath.
Further than asserting he is an
anarchist the prisoner has not APP
parently made any statement.
| Regarding the political situa-
ton, it is believed EX-Premier Cas-
imir Perier, now president of the
chamber of deputies, has the best
chance of succeeding the late pres
ident, but the names Of M. Charl-
temel Lacour, president of the sem
ate, Cavaignac, Dupuy. Brisson,
Constans and General Saussier, are
also mentioned as likely to be
strong candidates.
AMERICAN SYMPATHY.
| WASHINGTON, June 25. - The
death of President Carnot was the
sole topic about the Senate today
and was recalled by a prayer,
measured by deep feeling, de-
livered by Rev. DIR. Milburn,
the blind chaplain of the sem
ate. After the opening prayer,
Senator Morgan, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, Of
fered the following resolution:
Resolved, that the Senate of the
| United States unite with the Amer
lean people in expressing to the
people of France their sor-
row and sympathy in the
national bereavement they are
suffering from the cruel blow
of an assassin which was aimed at
the peace of France and fell upon
the heart of President Carnot; and
as a mark of respect due to the
memory of the wise, virtuous and
patriotic President of the Republic
| of France, the senate will at the
close Of this proceeding stand adj
journed until tomorrow at ten
| o'clock.
Second, that the president of the
| United States be requested to
| communicate this expression of
national sorrow to the govern
| ment of the Republic Of France
and to Madame CarnOt. Senator
Morgan made a brief speech in
which he referred to the patriot
ism of the people of the French
Republic and cordiality of rela-
tions between the two Republics.
At 1920 the Senate adjourned.
