The Free Leaf Clause.

When the repeal of the free-leaf
clause is reached in the Senate, Sena-
tor Daniel, of Virginia, it is stated,
will ask that an amendment be added
provided for the repeal of that portion
of the revenue laws which compel
every farmer or planter producing
leaf tobacco to furnish to the revenue
officers a statement, verified by oath,
of all the tobacco sold by him. This
will relieve the farmer of the labor OF
keeping an account Of the leaf tobacco
sold, and will put stop to the many
useless prosecutions to which farmers
are frequently subjected on account
E of technical violations OF this law.

ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
CARNOT OF FRANCE.
General Topic of Conversation in

derer Tells of His Plans.

| WASHINGTON, June 26.-The intiu
ence of the assassination of President
Carnot was manifested in the House
half an hour yesterday before Speak.
| er Crisp's gravel raped to order. The
horrible event was the invariable topic
| of conversation among members, and
| galleries contained more than the
| usual number of spectators who had
| gathered there to observe the pro-
| ceedings in respect thereof. In his
prayer, Chaplain Bagby touchingly
referred to the blow that had fallen
upon our sister republic and gave
thanks that lives of our own
rulers and prominent men had been
spared.
1t was referred to In the opening
prayer of the chaplain of the Senate,
who implored that divine grace and
mercy may rest upon "us and our
afflicted country, so that we may at
last come to that unity and brother
hood intended by Jesus Christ. the
ruler of the world" Appropriate
resolutions were adopted in both
Houses.
AN AUTOPSY HELD.
PARIS, June 26.-Madame Carnot
eventually withdrew her objections to
an autopsy. After the examination
statement to the following effect was
issued: sThe liver was horribly
wounded. The dagger pierced through
a depth of five inches. The aortic
vein was severed and one rib was
broken. The weapon penetrated fully
seven inches beneath the surface. The
abdominal cavity contained two
quarts of blood. Externally the
wound appeared only as a cut about
an inch long under the breast. The
dagger must haye been under strong
pressure, otherwise it could not have
penetrated SO far"
THE MURDERER TELLS OF Ills PLANS.
LYONS, june 25.-Cesario, the asSas-
sin, shows not the slightest sign of
agitation. He is perfectly tranquil
and at times appears careless and
callous. He has admitted that he
had for some time contemplated his
crime. He produced today a pro-
gramme of the Lyons festivities, Civ
ing President Carnot's route through
the city. Along the route he had
marked spots where he presumed he
would have chance to strike the
fatal blow He bought the poniard
with which he stabbed the President
in Cette, paying for it five francs. He
had given the subject of his crime
considerable thought and felt conf.
dent that he knew how to deal fatal
blow before he left Cettc.
