BORNE ON GUN CARRIAGE.
Before the body was removed to the
train in Lyons, the archbishop of Lyons
offered prayer The coffin was borne on
a gun carriage through the dense, bare
headed throng that filed the streets
leading to the station. The clergy in
their vestments, the local officials and
delegates from many societies
formed the procession. They moved
slowly through the silent
multitude. The flourish of trumpets, the
artillery salutes and the beating of
mutfled drums were the only sounds, for
the people OF the city did not utter a
word as the body was carried past them.
only after the special train had started
for Paris did the Indignation of the street
crowds lead to violence. One mob
was guided by members of the, athletic
societies who went to Lyons to take
part in yesterdays fetes. The athletes
carried uflags which they waved be-
fore the rioters as they shouted their
demands for revenge. A dozen shops
owned by foreigners were looted and the
rioters proclaimed their intention of
smashing every concern conducted by an
alien. Two cafes were plundered which
had not been closed in obedience to the
order for mourning. Others were closed
quickly when the mob approached. A
company of cuirassiers charged twice on
the crowd in the Rue de La Republique
before the street could be cleared.
ITALIANS VERY UNEASY.
The Italian communities in Marseilles
and Toulon are fearful for their safety.
An Italian who was unloading a steamer
at Toulon this morning made sneering
remark concerning President Carnot. A

cracking his skull. The Italian made a
lunge with his knife in self-defense. He
was arrested at once and taken ashore,
where the police barely saved him from
lynching.
In Lyons the evening has been varied
by alternate periods of perfect quiet and
intense excitement. Early in the evening
a mob burned down an Italian grocery in
the Rue Cuvier and the Italian musical
societies hall insthe Rue Masenod. The
mob was dispersed by the police after the
harm had been done. and for nearly two
hours there was no sign of disturbance.
TheQ procession formed suddenly in the
middle of the city and marched through
the streets shouting "Hurarh for Carnot;
we will avenge him, hurrah for France"
Hardly fifteen minutes after this process
sion was scattered another one formed.
The men were driven from the line by the
police and thirty men were arrested. A
third procession, with the same cry as
the first one, was dispersed at II o'clock
after twenty-five more arrests had been
made The total number of arrests dur
ing the evening was above sixty.
A MARCH AT MIDNIGHT.
Between IL and II o'clock some 1000
men and a few women began marching
and shouting for vengeance. The police
watched them closely and warned them
not to be too demonstrative, but did not
interfere with them.
The Lyons police learned this morning
that Vielly, alias Marius Faure, Lyons
anarchist, was heard saying on Friday
evening: ''If President Carnot comes to
Lyons he will be hurt. Somebody will
stick a knife into him while he is riding
about town" The police believed that
Vielly might be Cesario's accomplice, but
M Benoist, the examining magistrate, did
attach much Importance to the evidence
in question, thinking that Vielly was
merely an anarchist braggart
The police in Montpelier went this
afternoon to the house of an anarchist
laborer, who is believed to have har-
bored c. Cesario one night last week. he
had fed. 1t was said that Cesario was
an excellent fellow before he joined the
anarchists His comrades undoubtedly
made a tool of him. His mother is over
whelmed with grief He was her favor
ite son.
The rulers of all civilized countries
have sent telegrams expressing to Nine.
Carnot their sorrow and sympathy.
The concert halls are closed and the
races have been postponed. In all
places frequented by politicians the sue
cession to the presidency is discussed
constantly. Casimir-Perier's chances
seemed to improve steadily. This even
ing he is a more conspicuous favorlte
than ever.
