To the French Ambassador patro-
nolro, tho announcement was a great
ana most unexpected shock, coming
as II I'D from clear sky. NJ a time
whom the internal and foreign affnlra
Of France are In pene,nile stute.

was the center of many Diplomatic
una other officials OF this government
deelring 10 learn what details they
might and extend their cNprcsrinns
Of regret Next door to tho amhaasy
az the Metropolitan club. where the
ulplumatH are accustomed to conGtc-
gate, there was "A serthing OF excite,
meut and warm discussions In various
tonEuca OF the probable effect OF Cor
nuis death upon the complications OF
Eurupean politics, which are wide
spread and Intricate.
There was Epme driving about I'D
mlniatratlou circles and demands for
official Information which was not
forthcoming. The lack OF II was ac-
counted for 10y the fact that the gov
eminent oficea are closed and gov
eminent oitciala of duty on sunday,
Up to late hour no official cable
crums Ind been received even at the
French nmhaHSy and In dcfnult OF
such Information the president and sec-
rotary of state did not feel justified
In sending any expressions Of regret.
Probably o majority OF both houses
OF congress had been driven from the
city by the heat but among those
who remained there was much Hpeculn-
tion over whether the nHsnaiiuntion
had any political Significance or WAS
the decd Of nm irresponsible crank. The
trend or opinion vaa toward the latter
belief.
Forclen Representatives aud officials
acquainted with French Tulitica say
that Crrnot WAS essentially II safe
man, one whorl the French people
relied upon. while they did not rush
over him or accord to him the dra-
matte following they have given lead

senator Morgan. chairman OF the for
eigu relations committee, Enys; This
Is q blow ut the peace and Justice ana
civilization OF the world. France, In
her long and eventful history, has had
for leaders more brilliant men than
CRrnot, greater men probably DE tho
world goes. but the French people
have never had n president OF broader
stuteamanlse Views on all great dues-
lions or one who had made a greater
sacrifice for her prosperity than he.
And in return Tor lis devotion the
French believed IN MIN lie was pop
ulnr with all rlght-lhinlung men and
women throughout the nation.
Senator Morgan WAS a member OF
tho Paris BohrlnR sea commission and
IN common with other members was
presented TO Carnot and saw quite a
good deal Of him while IN Paris In
his intercourse with hin the senator
said his manner WAS more Democratic
than one would naturally look for IN
a Frenchman. He had a scholarly face
aud his beard could easily be mis-
taken FOR college professor. He WIS
always frank and cordial and Impress
cd one as being thoroughly sincere
IN all he said and an. lie was Just
such n man as France needs for her
conservative, iaw-nblding
and law-cnf0roinR. and II may be 70

SsnifDr Morgan was asked whether /
Or not in view Of tho assassination Of |
President Cnrnot and the recent at
tempt on Caprlyi. our own government
should not take greater care 20 protect
the president from possible danger.
The senator did not think any extra
