President Sadi-Carnot St Hot toed by j an Italian Anarchist in the Streets I or Lyons The Assassin Wita j Difficulty Rescued Prom the I Infuriated People In- ! j tense Antl-Italiau i I Peeling. 1 Baltimore Sun. i - Lyons, France, June 25. M. Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, President of t the Republic of France, was stabbed in the breast by an assassin in this city at 9:85 o'clock lastnignt and died of fchu wound at 12:45 o'clock this morning. The as sassin ts an Italian named Cesare Gio vanni Santo. v i The President was visiting Lyons an connection with the international ex hibition. Upon his arrival here he was tendered a reception at the pref ectii; after which he visited the exhibition. After spending some time at the exhibi tion he proceeded to'the Palais de Com merce, where a banquet was given in his honor. ! At 9:25 o'clock last night President ' Carnot started for the theatre, where a l gala performance was to be giyen be cause of his presence in the city. Several i carriages were in the procession, the first j one being occupied by the President. M. ' Carnot's carriage was driven slowly j along in front of the Palace of Com i merce and then turned into Rue de la j Republique, still following the facade of J the palace. When halfway down the street, which was lined with enthusias tic crowds of people, who were loudly cheering, a man rushed out of the crowd . and sprang upon the step" of the Presi dent s ianaau. THE FLASHING KNIFE DESCENDED, Just at this moment M. Carnot was waving his right hand and saluting with his hat in his left hand in response to the ovation that was being given to him by the crowd. The. people ckr-e to the car riage saw that the man standing on the step had a knife in his hand. By the glare of the electric . lights they saw the bright blade gleam in the air, as the as-. sassin's arm descended, and then Presi dent Carnot was seen to fall back in his seat, his face deathly pale. One of his hands was pressed over his heart, where the steel had entered his body. M. Rivaud. prefect, of Lyons, who was seated beside JS1, Carnot, immedi ately struck the assassin a blow full in the face and knocked him from the step, thus preventing the" man from again stabbing the President, which it was hia evident intention to do. THE ASSASSIN SEIZED. ' Instantly cries of "Le President est asassine." "Mort a la assassin!" were heard on every side, and the crowd in the a icinity of the carriage swelled to enormous proportions, eyery member of it seemingly intent upon killing the assas sin. He was grasped by a dozen hands, and his life would have then and there paid the forfeit of his crime had it not been for several sergeants de ville, who seized him and attempted to draw him to be impossible, as the infuriated popu lace were determined to lynch the man, and the efforts of ' the sergeants availed nothing beypnd saving the man from in stant death. Blows were aimed at his face and head over the shoulders of the police, who had by this time received re inforcements, and many of the blows landed fairly. At -last the police suc ceeded in driving the howling mob back a foot or so from their prisoner, but to get the captive through the crowd was a physical impossibility. CHARGE BY JVIOUNTED GUARDS. In the meantime the news of the at tempted murder had spread with lightning-like rapidity1, and mounted guards were sent to the aid. of the policemen, who were still struggling to preserve the life of the assassin. With drawn sabres in their hands the guards rode down into the swirling crowd, heedless of whom their horses tramped upon. The crowd slowly gave way before the horses, and at last the centre of the mob was reached. Then a cordon was formed around the then almost exhausted police i i.r a i ai .i. , men and their captive, and the march to the police ' station began. Even thus surrounded the prisoner was not safe, for men in the crowd made frantic en deavors to reach him. The guards re pelled these attacks with the flat side of their swords, while at the same time keeping watchful eyes upon the crowd to prevent the prisoner from being shot. Maledictions were hurled upon the cap tive, and never before has such a wild indignation against a human being been seen in this city. DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT. The landau in which were Gen. Borius, the prefect, the mayor and the wounded President, escorted by a de tachment of mounted guards on a gallop was driven rapidly to the prefecture, followed by carriages conveying the officers of the President's military house hold, M. Burdeau, ex-Minister of Finance and Senator Millaud. On arrival at the prefecture Gen. Borius, the prefect and the mayor alighted. President Carnot lay motion less and unconscious upon the cushions of the carriage. His eyes were closed, his waistcoat was unbuttoned, and his shirt on which the bright red cordon of the Legion of Honor was conspicuous, was covered on the left side, just over the heart, by a large blood stain that ex tended to the hip. The crowd surged about in the vicinity of the carriage, but the mounted guards and the foot police held them in check some distance from the landau in which the President was lying. ' Many were the expressions of pity for the president and anger at his assassin. JJen. Borius.the prefectand the mayor, assisted by a number of attendants, lifted M. Carnot from the carriage, and, with difficulty, carried him as tenderly as possible to a room on the ftrt floor of the prefecture and laid him on a bed. Dr. Gailleton, who is mayor of Lyons, then examined the wound. In the meantime physicians were hast ily summoned to attend the President. After examicing thePresident'a wound all the physicians in attendance upon him acreed that an operation was neces sary, whereupon Dr. Oilier immediately nrnbed the wound. While this was being done H. Carnot came to his senses, and said feebly, but flistinctlv: "How you aro hurting me. "he doetorji, however, continued to at--vntind. the outward bleeding of 1 which had stopoed. lhey If new, inougnt nuu uiiv - - -- - - . that the President's conuiwim w ' hvmp.lv oravo aa thfv more tURD BUS- twted that internal hemorrhage had commenced. Shortly after midnight the Archbishop rf TiCfuis was summoned to thn hpdside of the dying President to administer to him the last rites of the Church. He was i in the room but a short time when he i emerged and retired to an adjoining '.vm litre lie remained' until 12S0 VW,k viiPB he was aga'n summoned vt ff-ji-ni.t , reinsined poimduua to the i it,. ff:i!,H lint b?s life-was rapidly twii-e lw wiid: ."-Je-in'en V ' . . , V rr itf." .. .' n,- ivre. leaned over lhe bed on ..... .: which the President was lying &nd said ,tr himt ';Your rfends -iiaa . here, t Mon sieur le President." M. Carnot replied: "I am grateful for their tresence." and in less than a minute he gasped for breath, there was a convult-ive shuddering of his body and the President of France was dead. THE ASSASIN SILENT. Cesar Giovanni Santo, the assassin, is a beardless young man. When arrested he was attired in a brown iuit and wore a peaked cap that matched the suit in color. ' . As he marched under the police guard from the Rue de'la Republique to the station he held his head down, but his eyes glaced furtively around, as though he was seeking an opportunity to escape from his captors. To have made such an attempt, however, would have .been the height of fooihardineas unless he der sired to commit suicide; for there is not the slightest doubt that had he got away from the protection afforded him by the police he would have been torn limb from limb by the crowd, whose every action showed that they were thirsting for his blood. Santo, who speaks French badly, when questioned by Prefect Leping at the police station in Rue Moliere, said he had lived at Cette, Department of Herault, for the past six months and had only come to Lyons to-day. He gave. his age as twenty-two years. His replies were given coolly, but without any sign of brayado. He refused, however, to an swer any of the many questions put to him regarding his motive for stabbing the President, declaring that on this sub ject he would speak only before a tri bunal. When he was searched by the police a book was found in one of his pockets in which it was written that he had been born inja village in the Province of Milan , Italy. . Immediately after;the death of M. Car not Prime Minister Dupuy started on hii return to Paris to officially announce the news to the Senate and Chamber of Dep uties. ... ANTI-ITALIAN FEELING, After it became generally known that his assassin was an Italian the feeling of deep indignation among the crowd found yent in the form of attacks upon cafes kept by inoffensive natives of Italy. Three such places in the vicinity of the Palace of Commerce were totally wrecked by the infuriated mob. French flags, which were in abundance, were then procured by the crowd and with cries of 'Down with the foreigners." "Out with them," hundreds of men and boys marched to the Rue de la Barre, in which street the Italian consulate is situated. There is no doubt that the consulate would have been sacked had it not been for the prompt action of the police, who stopped the crowd and compelled its members to disperse. The excitement continues at fever heat, and it would take very little to precipi tate bloody anti- Italian riots. All over the city threats are made to take sum mary vengeance upon the countrymen of S'anto. and the authorities, fearing that attempts will be made to put these into effect ordered bodies of cuirassiers to patrol the city to prevent an outbreak. Everywhere the troops are greeted with cries of "Long live the army." M. CARNOT'S LAST SPEECH. M. Carnot's last speech was delivered at the banquet given in his honor. He dwelt upon the success of the exhibi tion and said that the same heart, beats in all French breasts when it is known that the honor, security or rights of the country are at stake, This same union of all Frenchmen formed a guarantee of the march toward progress and justice, to- which it belonged to France to give an example to the, world, .. . , . , . By Southern Press Paris, June 25. Premier Depuy, after meeting Mme. Carnot at Dijon this morn ing continued his journey to Paris. Upon arriving here he announced that he would meet the Presidents and Cham ber of Deputies this afternoon and after ward hold a cabinet council. The Minis ters met in conference at 3 o'clock . and convened the Congress at Versailles on Wednesday for the purpose of electing a President. A. majority of the ministry are in favor of the election of Casimer Perier. The other candidates are M. Challemet Lacour, M. Cavaigniac, M. Dupuy, M. Brisson and M. Cons tans. After Casimer-Perier, Dupuy has the best chance. EUROPE MOURNS FOR THE DENT. DEAD PRESI- London, June 25. The House of Com mons was filled with members and visi tors at the opening of to day's sitting. The sympathy of the members with France was fully expressed. " Sir Wm. Harcourt arose and an nounced that to-morrow he would move an address to the Queen, requesting Her Majesty to associate any sentiment of her own feeling which might convey to France the abhorrence with which the House of Commons regarded the crime, which deprived President Carnot of his life. The announcement was received with cheers. Home, June 25. All the Italian Bour ses have been closed out of sympathy for the great loss France has sustained by the assassination of President Carnot.

Washington, D. C, June 25. The as sassination f of the President of ' the French republic was the one overruling topic; in the Sena to; as in the city thift morning.: It was referred to in the open ing prayer of the chaplain of the Senate, who implored that divine grace andl mercy may rest upon us and our affllctect; country, so that we may at last come to that unifcy( and.br olherhbod intended by Jesus Christ, the ruler of the world. ' -, The reading of Saturday's journal was dispensed with, and after a quorum of the Senate had appeared, Senator Mor gan, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, rase and in a voice tremulous with emotion, said : Mr. President, the duty devolv, s upon me, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, to make the saddest announcement that can be made to the American people, in regard to any event outside of their own hnr ders. It is the death, bv assassination, nf President - Carnot, of the Republic of France. In view of that very oppressive and alarming event, at which the na tions of the earth will feel a serious shock, I present for the consideration of the Senate the following resolution :" unsolved. That the Senate of the United States unites with the American people in expressing to the people of trance their sorrow and svmnathv in the national bereavement they are suf fering from the cruel blow of an assas sin, which was aimed at the Deace of France and fell upon the heart of the President. And. as a mark of resoect due to the memory of the wise, virtuous and patriotic President of the Republic of France, the Senate will, at the close of tnis proceeding, stand ad lourned until to-morrow at 10 o'clock a. m. Resolved, That the President of the United States is requested to communi cate this national sorrow to the Govern ment of the Republic of France and to lime. Carnot. The resolutions havinsr been read. Senator Morgan said: lhe f grief or a national bereavement never falls upon France without exciting me sympatny ot tne American people. In the earliest days of this republic France won the gratitude of the oeoDle of the United States and created a senti ment of the deepest and most sincere re gard, which has united the names of Washington and LaFayette io a sacred memory that is imperishable. - "President Carnot.the honest friend of liberty, regulated and supported by law, was mar Keel as a victim bv the men. who, being criminally insane, hold so ciety and law in contempt and cruise through the world in the nroDacration of political piracy and murder. Because he loved the liberty of law, he was se lected for violent and brutal sacrifice, and has perished by the assassin's hand. le came trom a family of heroic men. who never faltered in their love of lib erty, established in justice and regulated by law. His grandfather so loved the liberty of t ranee, that he was the one Senator who alone voted that the First Consul was not an Emperor; that France was "republican" and that imperial power was not the legiti mate offspring of the French Revolution, He had voted to execute Louis XVI, and refused to restore the powers of royalty in the person of Napoleon Bonaparte. In casting his vote against the elevation of Napoleon to imperial power and title, he declared that he would vote against the empire for the same reason that he had voted against a life consulship, but with out any personal animosity and. that he was quite prepared to render obedience to the Emperor should he be elected. "lhe son of this great war minister was the father of the stricken President of France. He was so pronounced a Repub lican that he refused to take the oath of allegiance to Louis Napoleon, as Emperor of France, and declined a seat in the French Assembly to which he was elected during his voluntary exile. In the sec ond empire he was classed as a Socialist, but his patriotism was recognized as being deyoutly sincere, even by Napoleon III. No man in France has inherited greater honors or a better title to the love of the French people than Marie Francois Sadi-Carnot, and no man s life has better justified his right to the distinguished tribute to his worth bestowed upon him by France in his selection for the Presi dency, Senator Sherman, a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, and its chairman last Congress, next addressed the Senate on the same subject. The resolution was agreed to and the Vice President, in accordance therewith, declared the Senate adjourned until to morrow at JO o clocfe. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. The influence of the assassination of President Carnot was manifest in the hall of the House this morning before Speaker Crisp's gavel rapped to order, The horrible event was the invariable topic of conversation among members, and the galleries contained more than the usual number of spectators drawn there to observe the proceedings in re spect thereof . In his prayer unapiain riagny toucn ingly referred to the blow that had fal len upon our sister republic,- and gave thanks that the lives of our own rulers and prominent men had been spared. .Immediately after the reading of the journal a messag fram the President was announced by Mr, Pruden, executiye secretary. It was the omcial notification of the assassination of the French Presi dent and was at once laid before the House. - i ' Mr. McCreary, chairman of the Com mittee on foreign A If airs., was reoog nized and addressed the House as follows: "Mr. Sneaker, the civuized world is shocked and sorrow -stricken by the an nouncement of the assassination of the President of the French republic.

At the opening of business at the Stock Exchange to day lower prices were the rule, London and Amsterdam having appeared as sel lers of Kansas and Texas, preferred, St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, and Northern Pacific. How much of this selling was due to the unsettled condition of the foreign markets on account of the assassination of President Carnot and what proportion resulted from the un easiness occasioned abroad by the dwindling treasury gold reserve, it is difficult to determine, but good judges were inclined to the belief that the bulk of , the liquidation was simply the con tinuation of the selling which set in dur ing the early part of last week. The early decline was equal to H per cent, in Kanzas and Texas, preferred, and to in the general list. St. Paul was especially weak at this time, selling down to 57f on the logs of $118,980 in gross earnings for the third week of June. Chicago Gas was a marked feature and bounded up from 781 to out. Alter tne covering of a short interest, the stock receded to 78 to 79, io Dividend matters are still sur rounded by mystery, but one of the larg est Eastern owners of the stock said to day that he knew of no reason why the dividend should not be paid in cash and that it will be distributed without unnec essary delay. The company is taking measures to place itself beyond attack from any legal standpoint. The jump in Chicago Gas put an end to the declining tendency in the general list, and be fore the expiration of the first hour of business a number of active is sues were selling on a higher level than on the close of Saturday. Subsequently Reading sold down to 14 J and Lead was forced down 2i per centJ to 37. Both stocks, however, rallied, Reading to 15 and Lead to 38 in the last hour.

Miss Wimberly, the vouna- ladv who was recently outraged by her uncle near Apex, is slowly regaining consciousness and strong hopes for her recovery are entertained by her physicians.
