walls In this citJ- as result or the as |
sassination is almost beyond description |
on the boulevards. this morning. Gcenes |
OF the greatest excitement have been |
witnessed. The police had the greatest |
difficulty in dispensing the crowds OF
wildly angry people who assembled at
different points. discussing the tragedy,
cursing the assassin. and calling for ven
geance against the murderer and his
supposed accomplices.
Italian Flag Pulled Down.
The fact that the assassin Is an Ital-
ian has given rise to the most danger
ously bitter feeling against Italy and
Italians, and several Italian flags. dis
played out of sympathy with Frances
loss, and draped with Grape, were
hooted at and, in at least one instance,
pulled down and torn into shreds.
In every quarter of Paris fierce demon
strations against the Italian residents
have taken place, and, as result,
nearly all the Italian cafes and res
taurants have been closed.
But II the feeling against Italians is
strong. the sentiments of hatred with
which the majority of the people re-
gard Anarchists Is still stronger. and
-
snnto stiH Reticent.
Santo, the murderer, has boldly as
serted that he Is an Anarchist, and.
therefore, upon the Anarchists are the
people pouring the walls of their wrath.
Further than asserting that he Is an
Anarchist the prisoner has not. ap-
parently. made any statement. but 1t
Is said that the police are convinced that
the assassination of President Carnot
is the result OF carefully planned con-
spiracy, in which a number of people
are concerned.
The authorities are engaged in a most
exhaustive investigation into the pris-
oner's past career and recent move
ments. and no official statement on the
subject Is likely to be made until this In
quiry Is completed.
Call to Elect a New President.
An official note was issued this morn
ing, calling upon the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies to assemble in
| Congress at Versailles at 1 o'clock
| Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose
OF electing a new President.
1t would be difficult to express at this
time an opinion of any value as to the
result of the assassination on the future
of France. That political cabals will be
formed to secure the election Of NJ. Car
not's successor goes without saying,
but the time in which such combina-
tions can be formed will be limited.
The most prominent name in connec-
| ton with the Presidency is that Of NJ.
Casimir-Perier. at one time Prime Min
| lister and now President OF the Cham
ber of Deputies. That he Is we'll qualified
| to fill the position is conceded, but 1t is
| scarcely believed that he can be elected
| without bitter struggle. The political
| situation. complicated before. now be-
comes more so, and he would indeed be
a wise prophet who could foretell the
next President of the Republic.
The names Of NM. Cnalemel Lacour,
President of the Senate; Cavaignac,
Dupuy. Brisson, Constans and Gen.
Saussier are also mentioned as likely to
| be strong candidates
SnntO Was known to De Dangerous.
The inquiries Of the police this after
noon resulted in showing that Santo was
born at Motta Visconti, northwest of
Pavta, in December, 1873. The prisoner

He was acquitted, owing to lack Of EVIL
dence.
santo was known as a dangerous An
archist, and delivered Anarchist lectures
of the widest character before going to
Switzerland last year.
Cnrnots DeRthbed.
LYONS, June 25.-The bed on which
NJ. Carnot died was Of iron. 1t was
placed between two windows OF the pal
ace. At its foot was the bed Of honor,
which had been reserved for the Presi-
dent
The incision made by the doctors In
order to stop the internal hemorrhage
measured about three inches long by two
inches wide.
It was thought that the entire popu-
lation of the city was on the streets
when the attack upon the President
was made, but this belief later proved
erroneous. for as the night advanced
the crowds were constantly augmenting
their strength.
After the attacks upon the. italian
cafes the disorderly element among the
crowds devoted their attention to the
Italians whom they found upon the
streets. Several Of these men were
pursued by the mob and barely escaped
with their lives. The police, who were
extraordinarily vigilant. had great diff
ficulty in rescuing the hunted men.
The Rue de la Barre is now barri-
caded at both ends and guarded by
troops.
The Assassinn Weapon.
The weapon used by the murderer was
a long. triangular blade Of the generally
, accepted stiletto pattern. Upon the
blade are engraved the words: Record
OF Toledo"
The sheath of the stiletto is Of velvet
with red and black stripes.
, President Carnot's last words were
Thank you, my friends. Thank you.
