Assassination of the President oi Prance in the City of Lyons.

HE IS STABBED BY A YOUNG ITALIAN.

The Assassin Springs I'pon the Stops of Hie Carriage anil i'lniiKos a Dagger Into His Hotly—He Dies Shortly After

Midnight—Motive Unknown.

PRESIDENT CAHNOT KILLED. LYONS. June 25.—M. Sadi-Carnot, president of the French republic, is dead. lie was struck down Sunday night by the hand of an assassin and died soon after midnight. The most intense excitement reigns throughout France.

The president was visiting Lyons in connection with the international exhibition. Upon his arrival here he was tendered a reception at the prefecture, after whieh he visited the exhibition. After sp.'Tiding some time, there lie proceeded to the Palais de. Commerce, where a banquet, was given in his honor.

At 9:25 President Carnot started for the theater, where a gala performance was to given because of his presence in the city. Several carriages were in the.procession, the first one being occupied by the president. M. Carnot's carriage was driven slowly along in front of the Palais de Commerce, and

PRESIDENT CARNOT.

then turned into Rue de la Republique, •till following the facade of the palace. When half way down the street, which •was lined with enthusiastic crowds of people, who were loudly cheering, a man rushed out of the crowd and sprang upon the steps of the president's landau.

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 him.

Saw the President Stubbed. The people close to the carriage saw that the man standing on the step had a knife in his hand. l!y tin: glare of the electric lights they saw the bright blade gleam in the air as the assassin's arm descended, and President 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 the body.

M. Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, who was seated beside M. Carnot, immediately 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 his evident intention to do.

The Assassin Captured.

Instantly cries of: "The president is assassinated!" "Death to the assassin!" were heard on every side, and the crowd in the vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous proportions, every member seemingly intent upou killing the assassin, lie 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 and attempted to draw him away from his ,captors.

This was found to be impossible, as "the infuriated populace was determined to lynch the man and the efforts of 'the sergeants availed nothing beyond saving the man from instant death. Jilows were aimed at his face and head, over the shoulders of the police, who had by this time received reinforcements, and many of the blows landed fairly. At last the police succeeded in driving the howling mob back a foot or so from the prisoner, but to tret the captive through the crowd was a physical impossibility.

Troops Charge on the Crowd. In the meantime the news of the attempted murder had spreail with light-ning-like rapidity and mounted guards -were sent to the aid of the police, who •were still struggling to preserve the life of the assassin. With drawn sabers in their hands the guards rode down into the crowd, heedless of whom their horses trampled upon. The crowd gave way before the horses and at last the center of the mob was reached.

Then a cordon was formed around the ten almost exhausted policemen and their captive and the march to the police station began. Even thus surAunded the prisoner was not safe, for men in the crowd made frantic endeavors to reach him. The guards repelled these attacks with the flat sides 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 captive, and never before has such wild indigpation against a human being been seen in this city.

In the meantime physicians were hastily summoned to attend the president, who had almost immediately been conveyed to the prefecture. A careful examination was made of the wound and the doctors declared that the condition of M. Carnot was hopeless.

Hensation at the Theater.

The receipt of the news of the assassination caused a great sensation at the Grand theater, which was filled to the walls by the elite of Lyons. 'I he theater presented a brilliant scene, the handsome toilets of the ladies being offset by the gay uniforms of the many military officers present. All were

awaiting with impatience the arrival of the president and were unable to understand the delay. Suddenly a man entered the theater, crying nt the top of his voice: "The president has been assasinated!"

The most intense excitement followed this abrupt announcement. Women screamed and several fainted. Many men, without waiting to secure their hats, ran out of the building in order to confirm the news. They found all the streets leading to the palace filled with excited throngs, and in a few minutes they were convinced that the report of the cowardly attempt upon the life of the president was true.

Suddenly through the throng sped, a landau conveying Adrien Dupuy, a brother of the prime minister, Deputy Chaudy and Prefect Uivaud, the crowd falling away before it as it dashed into the Rue de la Republique. preceded by four mounted gendarmes. The crowd thinking now that, the report of the assassination was untrue and that the president was in the carriage shouted: "Vive Carnot," "Vive la Kepublique."

Ch«'«TH Turnotl to Curses*

The carriage was stopped and M. Chaudy and M. Rivaud. in tremulous voices, said: "Don't shout the president has been the victim of an outrage."

The cheers were instantly turned to curses, and many and loud were the cries for vengeance.

The landau proceeded to the theater, where Uivaud and M. Chaudy went to the president's box. As soon as they wen seen the whole audience arose and amid profound silence M. ltivaud said, in a voice broken with sobs: "The president has just been assassinated." "Dcutlt to the Assassin."

This announcement was received with a terrible explosion of fury as the audience on the first report of the assassination lia.d, though greatly excited, generally discredited it. The theater resounded with shouts of "A mort la assassin" ami cries for veilgence upon him.

When silence was in a measure restored M. Rivaud continued: "In the Rue de la Republique a miscreant, under the pretext of presenting a petition, stabbed M. Carnot with a dagger."

M. Rivaud was again interrupted with shouts of "Death to the murderer!" "Revenge!" "Revenge!"

Waving his hand for silence M. Rivaud again spoke, saying: "Do not make my mission more painful. We left M. Carnot in the hands of doctors. You understand that under these conditions our hearts are filled with sorrow, and that the proposed performance in the president's honor cannot take place."

The audience then left the building, many of them proceeding at once, to the perfecture, where they stood in the streets waiting for any report that might be give:i out and discussing the crime that they considered hail cast disgrace upon the fair fame of their city.

The assassin is an Italian named Cesare Giovanni Santo. Work of tho Doctors.

After examining the president's wound all the physicians in attenance upon him agreed that the operation was necessary, whereupon Dr. Oilier immediately probed the wound. While this was being done M. Carnot came to his senses, and said feebly but distinctly: "How you are hurting me." The doctors, however, continued to attend the wound, the outward bleeding of which had stopped. They knew though that the president's condition was extremely grave, as they more than suspected that internal hemorrhage had commenced. After M. Carnot had been taken from his carriage and placed upon a bed in the prefecture nobody but doctors and the officers of his military household who had accompanied him to Lyons were allowed to enter the room to which he had been carried.

The Assassin a Beardless Youth. Santo, the assassin, is a beardless young man of 20 or 25 years old. When arrested he was attired in a brown suit and wore a peaked cap that matched the suit in color. As he marched, under Ips police guard, from the Rue de la Republique to the station, he held his head down, but his eyes glanced furtively around as though lie was seeking aii opportunity to escape from his captors. To have made such an attempt, however, would have been the height of foolhardiness unless he desired to commit suicide, for there is not the slightest doubt that had he got awav from the protection of the police lie would have been torn liinb from limb by the crowd, whose every action showed that they were thirsting for his blood.

When the police party reached the Place des Cordeliers they were obliged to stop, while the landau in which were Gen. Borius, the prefect, the mayor and the wounded president, escorted by a detachment of mounted guards on a gallop, was driven rapidly past them en route to the prefecture. A second carriage conveying the officers of the president's military household followed close behind. An Associated Press reporter entered a third carriage, in which were M. Burdeau, ex-minister of finance, and Senator Millaud. On arrival at the prefecture Gen. Borius, the preteot, and the mayor alighted.

The Wounded Man's Kemoval. President Carnot lay motionless and unconscious upon the cushions of the carriage. Ilis 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, which extended to the hip. It was impossible to tell from his appearance whether he was dead or alive.

The crowd surged about in the vicinity of the carriage, but mounted guards and 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 auger at his assassin.

Uen. Borius, the prefect, and 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 first Hoorof the prefecture and laid him on a bed. Dr. Gailleton, who is mayor of Lyons, then examined the wound.

I)lel Soon After Midnight.

President Carnot died at 12:45 o'clock this morning. Shortly after midnight the archbishop of Lyons was suin-J monoid to the bedside of the dying president to administer to him the last rites of the church, lie was in the: room but a short time when he emerged and retired to an adjoining room, Hero he remained until 12:!t(), when he] was again summoned to the president's room, where he administered to him' the sacrament. (j

M. Carnot remained conscious to the last. He realized that his life was rapidly ebbing away and twice he said "Je m'en vais." Dr. Ponce leaned over 1 the bed on whieh the president was in a a id to I ii a here, monsieur le president ." M. Carnot replied: "I am grateful for their presenee," and in less than a minute he gasped for breath, there was a coiivulsive shuddering of his body anil tho re id a a ad I diat-elya-fter the death of M. Carnot Prime Minister Dupuy started on his return to Paris to officially announce, the. news to the senate and. the chain-j berof deputies. 3 l'lie bed on which M. Carnot. died! was of iron. It was placed between two windows of the pa lace. At its foot was the bed of honor which had been reserved for the president. The incision made by the doctors in order to stop the internal hemorrhage meas-

MohhtMl Mm Italians.

After M. Carnot had been taken to the prefecture it became generally known that his assassin wasan Italian and the feeling of deep indignation among the crowd found vent in the form of attacks upon cafes kept by inoffensive natives of Italy. Three such places in the. vicinity of the palace of commcrcc were to'.ally 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 liarre, 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-

Santo, who speaks French badly,

when questioned by Prefect Lepin at the police station in Rue Moliere, said he had lived at Cette, department of llerault, for the past six months, and had only come to Lyons Sunday, lie gave his age as 22 years. Bis replies were given coolly, but without any sign of bravado. Be refused, however, to answer any of tho many questions put to him regarding his motive for stabbing the president, declaring that on this subject ho would speak only before a tribunal. 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 in a village in the province of Milan, Italy.

1

All over the city threats are made to take summary vengeance upon tho countrymen of Santo, and the authorities, fearing that attempts will be made to put these threats into effect, ordered bodies of cuirassiers to patrol the city to prevent any outbreak. Everywhere the troops are greeted with cries of "Long live the army."

After the attacks upon the Italian cafes the disorderly element among the crowds devoted their attention to the Italians whom they found upon the Btreets. Several of these men were pursued by the mob and barely escaped with their lives. The police, who were extraordinarily vigilant,' had great difficulty in rescuing the hun4,ed men. 'Die Rue de la Barre is now barricaded at both ends anil guarded by troops.

Grief of Mine. Carnot.

PARIS, June 25.—Mine. Carnot accompanied by her two daughters, left this city at 1 o'clock this morning for Lyons. The news of the assassination of her husband was broken to her as tenderly as possible. She was almost prostrated with grief, but gave orders for preparations to be at once made to convey her to Lyons.

A cabinet council has been summoned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning to consider the situation and to take appropriate action in regard to the death of the president. Premier Dupuy will confer with the presidents of the senate and the chamber of deputies prior to the meeting of the cabinet.
