FRANCE IN MOURNING Sorrow, Dismay and Anger Pre- oF vail, GRIEF AT ASSASSINATION OF CARNOT Entertained in Regard to the Future. THE WIDOW AT THE BIER PARIS, June 25.—The deepest sorrow, dis- may and anger prevail thrgughout France. ‘The cowardly assassination of President Badi-Carnot at Lyons last night is most heartily deplored by all. Great anxiety pre- ‘vails in regard to the future and the feel- {ng will not be allayed until a successor to the late president is in office. Behind this is the anger of France at the pssassin, Cesare Giovanni Santo, the young tallan whose deadly knife has plunged a tion into grief, Telegrams of sympathy are pouring in ‘upon the family and upon the government. These messages of condolence come from all countries of the world, showing that France {s not alone in her sorrow at the death of her president. The newspapers, of all shades of opinion, Drint leading articles deploring the assas- sination of Sadi-Carnot. Signs of mourning are this morning gen- @ral throughout this city and throughout The Late President Carnot. France. All the flags are at half-mast and | ape public buildings are being draped with pe. Mme. Carnot, accompanied by her two Bons, arrived at Lyons at 7 o'clock this morning. The widow was most respect- fully greeted by a large crowd of people as- bembied about the railroad depot. She pro- geeded immediately to the prefecture, where the body of the late president now lies in State. One of the dead man’s sons when he saw ‘the decorations iff the Rue de la Repubiique @nd other streets, which had been displayed in honor of ‘his father’s visit fo Lyons, and which were not all removed this morning, was so agitated that he*al- most fainted. The flags and other decorations on the fecture were, however, removed during e night, and the great flag which usually floats over the chamber of commerce was replaced by a large square banner of crape. The inhabitants of Lyons generally this morning were removing the festive decora- tions from their buildings and replaced them with mourning emblems as fast as Possibl The apartment at the prefecture, in which the body of the late president lies in state, Presents a most ressive appearance. The remains of the murdered man are clad im a dress suit and across his breast is the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor, of which, a sub-chief of the state, he was grand master. Around the bier are stationed a number of high officers of the president's military household, who, with several Sisters of Charity, have watched the remains through- out the night. The prefecture itself is surrounded with Yroops and a strong detachment of infan- try 1s guarding the building in which Santo, the assassin, is confined. When Mme. Carnot reached the prefect- ure the death chamber was cleared of all but the family, and the widow, who had been joined by her third son, was left alone with her dead The late président’s family remained for a long time in prayer before the bier, and then the widow was led away by her three Sons, all four weeping bitterly. Later the remains were photographed nd a consultation between the sons of the late president and the authorities in charge of the remains took place. The exact nature of their deliberations has Rot been made public, but it was stated that Mme. Carnot does not desire the body of her late husband to be embalmed, and Wishes it to be removed immediately from Lyons to this city in order that it may ie in state in the chapel of the Elysee Palace. No decision was arrived at this morning @s to whether an official post-mortem ex- amination of the yemains of the late Pres- ident Carnot was necessary, and it Is said that this matter has been referred to the cabinet ministers, who are expected to ren- @er a decision shortly. The Excitement in Paris. The feeling of public anger which pre- vails in this city as a result of the assassi- nation is almost beyond description. On the boulevards thts morning scenes of the greatest excitement have been wit- The police had the greatest diffi- in dispersing the cr+wds of wildly sry pcople who assembled at different points, discussing the tragedy, cursing the &ssassin and calling for vengeance against the murderer and his supposed accomplices.

The news of the murder of President Carnot caused consternation among the Italian residents in this city. The presi- dent of the Italian chamber of commerce, 80 soon as the president's death became known, immediately drew up an address of condolence, which was signed by the chief Italian residents of Paris, and which wi later presented to Premier Dupuy, who also received a telegraphic message from Baron Blanc, the Italian minister for for- eign affairs, saying that King Humbert, the Italian nation, the two chambers and the government of Italy “shared the grief into which France had been plunged by the of an anarchistic man without a country.” At a cabinet council held this morning Premier Dupuy formally announced to the ministers the murder of President Carnot, and an official message, containing the fame formal intelligence, was sent to Sen: tor Challemel-Lacour, president of the sen- ate, and to M. Casimir-Perrier, president of the chamber of deputies. ‘The government will propose to the cham- bers that the remains of the late President Carnot be accorded a national funeral. The Work of Anarchis: The police are keeping a strict watch over anarchists in all the cities of France, and it is expected that several important arrests will be made during the day. There no longer seems to be much doubt that the president's assassination was the result of an anarchist conspiracy to avenge the deaths of Vaillant and Emile Henry, the two recently executed anarchists. Twenty detectives have been sent to the department of Herault, where Santo was recently domiciled, in order to track down his supposed accomplices. Crowds of people during the morning and this afternoon have a the Elysee palace, where all the foreign ambassadors and ministers, senators and deputies called during the day. The majority of the deputies, after calling at the Elysee, assembled at the Palais Bourton, where meetings of all parties were held during the afternoon. The senate and chamber of deputies will assemble in electoral congress at Versailles at 1 p.m. Wednesday next for the purpose of electing another president. Where Santo Cume From. Sigvor C. Ressman, the Italian ambassa- dor, received this afterroon a dispatch from Rome saying that the investigation which the Italian authorities have made into the identity of Santo, the assassin, shows that he is not an Italian, but that he comes from Ticino, the southernmost canton of Switzer- land, where the large majority of the in- habitents speak Italian. English Court to Go in Mourning. LONDON, June 25.—Following the pre- cedent adopted at the time of the death of the late American President, James A. Gar- field, the British court will go into mourn- ing for a week out of respect to the mem- ory of the late President Carnot. Bulletins posted at the White Lodge, Richmond, this morning, as well as at York House, the Mansion House and other points, say that the infant heir presumptive to the al of Great Britain and Ireland is doing well. The news of the assassination of Carnot caused much grief at the White Lodge, where only yesterday the Duke of York re- ceived a message of congratulation from the late president. Effect on the Stock Market. LONDON, June 25.—The assassination of President Carnot had the effect on the stock exchange today jof unsettling French and Italian securities, in which little busi- ness was done. Exs-President Harrison’ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 25.—Not since the shooting of President Garfield has any event so shecked ex-President Harrison as did the news of the fatal assault on Presi- dent Carnot. Gen. Harrison expressed his deep sorrow, which, he said, went out to republicans at this time. He said: “It is the spirit of anarchy which has caused an assassin to raise his hand against the French president. I believe the immediate motive must have been revenge for the re- cent execution of anarchists in Paris. 1 presume there could have been no pretense of a grievance against President Carnot personally. “But the act, dreadful as it is, cannot, I believe, affect the stability of the French re- public. It has seemed to me to be firmly grounded on the principles of self-govern- ment, law, order, and to be becoming more so very rapidly of late years. The mon- archical feeling, I have thought, was dying out, and I cannot believe there will be any movement to cause a revolution in favor of @ monarchy. The effect of the assassination can only be to intensify the force of the law and order against the anarchists.” Denourced by Chicago Anarchists. CHICAGO, June 25.—Oscar Neebe, who spent seven years in Joliet for participation in the Haymarket riots, said that the as- sassination of President Carnot was a cowardly and unnecessary act, and one that would injure the cause of progress. “Carnot has been a very inoffensive man, said he, “and the assassination is the tak- ing of the life of an innocent man. No in- teHligent anarchist would do such a thing. It_ must be the work of a fanatic.” Thomas Grief, well known in Chicago as a lead in the international socialistic movement, said: ‘The assassination is only another link in the chain of the evidence of th reat social crises in the civilized world. ‘When asked if there was any unity of action between the anarchists of France and of this country, Grief declared there was not. Neither did he believe that in any of the inner circles of American an- rehists there had been any intimation of any special activity at present in France. InN OTHER COUNTR' ES. A Profound Sensation in Berlin— —Italian Chamber Adjow BERLIN, June 25.—The assassination of President Carnot has caused a profound sensation in Berlin. All classes of people are indignant and much sympathy is ex- pressed for France. Emperor William, upon receiving the news at Kiel, immediately telegraphed to Mme. Carnot, expressing his condolence. Chancellor Von Caprivi, Herr Freicher Marschall von Betberstein, the minister for foreign affairs, and all the representatives of foreign nations in this city called upon M. Herbette, the French ambassador, so soon as the death of President Carnot was announced, and expressed their sympathy for France. In addition, the Austrian ambassador, Herr I. Von Szogyeny, and the Italian am- bassador, Lieut. Gen. Count Lanza, made calls atthe ministry for foreign affairs. | The general public of Germany fully recog- | nizes the gravity of the crime from a polit- ical standpoint. LONDON, June 25.—The house of com- mons today adopted, on Sir William Vernon Harcourt’s motion, an address to the crowa expressing sorrow, indignation and abhor- ance of the murder of President Carnot and sympathy with France in her bereave- | ment. ROME, June 25.—The chamber of deputies this morning was draped with mourning as a mark of respect for and sympathy with France in her great loss. Premier Crispi made a short and appro- priate speech, in which he referred in warm terms to the late President Carnot, and then asked the chamber to adjourn as a token of sympathy with France. The mo- | tion was agreed to. All the Itallan bourses have been closed out of sympathy for the great loss France | has sustained by the assassination of Pres- ident Carnot. —_—>__- —_ R. J.

NO GREAT ALARM FELT HERE Offici on the Alert for Three Terrible Scourges. LATE COLERA REPORTS Yellow fever has reached the shores of this country, but thanks to the efficient guardianship of the coast, through the Quarantine regulations, it is probale that the dreaded disease wll be kept out. Last Saturday a ship infected with the germs of the scourge reached Galveston and has there been disinfected before being allowed to depart for New York. A letter was re- celved during the week from Charles Schaeffer, United States consul at Vera Cruz, by Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine Hospital service, stating that the British vessel Jassamore had that day lost her mate from yellow fever, after having been sick on board several day: The health officers of Texas, Louisiana and Flor- ida were notified ut once by the bureau to look out for the plague ship, which was bound for Galveston by way of Tampico. On Saturday word was received from the agents of the vessel at Baltimore, stating that she had arrived at Galveston with sickness on board, and a wire was sent to Health Officer Swearingen of Texas, who wens at once from Austin to inspect the ship. This morning Dr. Wyman received the following telegram from him: “I inspected the Jassamore yesterday. Her second engineer died of yellow fever on the 19th. Twenty-three men are on board, no sickness now. She will leave Probably Wednesday for New York. I have iven instructions to the captain to call at ry Tortugas if any other cases develop.” As soon as this message was received word was sent to Dr. Jenkins, the health officer of New York, warning him of the coming of the Jassamore, and he will be on his guard when she reaches New York. Thus the chain of precautions is kept up. The country to the south of the United States is full of the fever and the hospital service is straining every nerve to pre- vent the incoming of a single case. So far not a germ has developed in this country. Havana Cases. There is also an infected ship, the Alba- thors, at Dry Tortugas, Florida, the na- tonal quarantine station, which came from Havana with two cases on board. She is being cleensed and detained. Tne regula- ticns require the detention of a suspected vessel for five days after disinfection. There is some fever in Havana and con- siderable at Cienfuegos, whence there is much shipping to these shores. There is a tanitary inspector there, however, who | keeps the officials here well informed of the departure of all suspected craft. This sys- tem of sanitary inspectors was inaugurated last season and proved very efficient. Dr. Wyman thinks that in the absence of an international agreement between the Unit- | ed States and ail the southern coyntries this system is the only safeguard thgt can be adopted. The consuls at each t are required by law to es to Washington, as well hip a on vr jut it ge of health hw care i warning that reaches here be- fore the arrival of-the vesweb that is most ¥ ble, id this is furnished by the tn ector, as well as, in gome cases, as with ¢ Jassamore, Ly the consuls. The gov- ernments to the south tare little or noth- ing for a case of fever, especially if it be leaving port on shipboard, and will do nothing to prevent the spread of the dis- ease. Up to the present it looks as though the fever would be kept out this summer, though there is no knowing when a germ may develop in Florida or be brought urreptitiously by some escaping Yet Dr. Wyman anticipates no trouble this summer. Rio Janeiro is filled with the fever, aid late reports show that there are from sixty to seventy deaths each week there. Two Other Scourges. There are two other visitors besides the fever that this government is exceedingly anxious to exclude this season, as well as on all occasions—the China plague and the Asiatic cholera. Reports trom the plague are still alarming, and the greatest precau- tions have been taken along the Pacinc coast to kéep it out. Tne government has fine chain of quarantine stations along the coast, and England has efficient means at Vancouver to Keep out the piague. Instruc- tions have been given to every government official and warnings have been went to each State functionary to be on guard against this Mongolian guest. Keports trom the cholera are reassuring in a certain degree. The following interest- ing letter was received a day or two ago by Dr. Wyman from Surgeon Fairfax ir- win, who is on duty Berlin, for the pur- pose of keeping this government informed 4s to the progress of epidemic diseases in Europe: “in general terms it may be stat- ed that cholera has increased considerably, especially in Russia, since my last report. In Austro-Hungary it appears to be sta- onary, and in Germany to be under con- trol; at Myslowits, indeed, it is said to have disappeared. The weather remains cool, but with rain every day. “In regard to France, I sent you the fol- lowing telegram: ‘Comma bacillus, Paris cases, found.’ This was sent in conse- quence of information received that in two of the fatal cases of cholera at Paris the comma bacillus has been demonstrated. These deaths occurred between the 27th of May and the 2d of June. The information has been confirmed, as the fact is now pub- lished in the journals. I stated in my last report, in effect, that I believed these cases would prove to be Asiatic cholera, thinking of the doubtful water supply. It is, of course, of the utmost importance to know the source of infection in these cases, whether the water of the Seine, infected clothing, or persons from other localities, There is, at present, an extensive move- ment of,Russian Jews going on. Their des- tination I do not’ know as yet, but the German government, while making every Possible effort to prevent the entry of cholera, pass these emigrants on and get rid of them as quickly as possible. In the department of Finisterre from May 20th to the 25th there were seven cases and one death. | “The cholera at Mysowitz is officially re- | ported to have disappeared, and no more | cases are reported. Six cases have oc-/| evrred in the Vistula region, one in Schilno, | two in couatry districts and three in} Piehnendorf. Schilno is in the district of | Th«m, and Plehnendorf is in Danzig. One of the cases was a workman, who con- tracted the disease on a raft in the Vistula river, where there were other cases. Plehnendorf {s a small town on the Baltic near the mouth of the Vistula and very near Danzig.” ee eee Regimental Assignments. The following assignments to regiments of officers recently promoted are ordered: Cavalry arm.—First Lieutenant Nathaniel F. McClure to the fifth cavalry, troop M.

Eseta. Telegraphic correspondence between Sec- retary Herbert and Capt. Thomas, com- manding the gunboat Bennington, at La Libertad, Salvador, since Saturday, has re- sulted in the release of eleven more of the Ezeta refugees who sought safety on the U. §8. warship when the revolution- ary party took possession of the gov- ernment. Their release was in compliance with the written request of each of the refugees, which request wag based on as- surances of full legal protection from the authorities at La Libertad. After Conferr! Capt. Thomas submitted the matter to Secretary Herbert, and the latter, after conferring with the President this morn- ing, authorized Capt. Thomas to grant the request. The landing of these men reduces the number of refugees on the Bennington to four, including Gen. Egeta, the wounded vice president of the late government, and brother of ex-President Ezeta, It is sup- posed that the other three were also prom- inent in the late government and incurred the enmity of their successors by their actions during the recent revolution, The Feeling Against Gen. Eseta. The feeling is, however, more bitter against Gen. Ezeta than against all the others combined, and the Salvadoran gov- ernment is highly indignant at the United States government for refusal to com- ply with its demand for his surrender. He has been charged with murder and robbery and other criminal offenses, id they are made the basis of the demand for his sur- render. So far, however, the United States looks upon him as a political exile pureiy and will continue to afford him asylum until it is clearly established that such a course is no longer necessary as an act of humanity. Dr. Gusman’s New Office. Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister, who has been requested to act as the diplo- matic agent of Salvador at Washington to assist in pending negotiations touching the case of Ezeta and his fellow refugees, had an interview with Secretary Gresham at the State Department this morning, in the course of which he said that his government has consented to his acting in a diplomatic capacity for Salvador and that his creden- tals a: ich had been forwarded by mail. On their arrival he will be presented to the President in his new role. Dr. Guzman also took occasion to deny the report that trouble had arisen between Guatemala and Costa Rica. STILL IN OFFICE Oppo: of Architect Clarke With- draw Their Forces. Architect Clarke is still in office, and, what is more, he will probably be undis- turbed for many months to come. The House committee on ventilation and acoustics has decided to effect a temporary retreat from its position taken last week in demanding the resignation of the archi- tect, for the ostensible reason that he is responsible for the poor ventilation of the House. On Saturday afternoon, fore- adjournment, Mr. Walker of Massa- chusetts presented a report from the com- mittee setting forth that in the opinion of the committee it would be unwise to enter upory the-necessary work of refitting the ventilating fixtures of the House dur- ing the coming recess, which promises to be short, and asking that the House trans- fer the responsibility of the case to a sub- committee of the committee on public buildings and grounds, to be joined to the present committee on acoustics. It was stated that immediately after convening in December an appropriation of $700 would be requested for the running of the fans at night during the short session. The only note of belligerence in the report was the intimation that in the opinion of the committee the office of the architect should be abolished and its duties devolved upon some other department of the government. Accompanying the report were resolutions to the effect that, first, the architect should be directed to remove all materials from the rooms in the basement of the space south of the rotunda to unoccupied rooms in the terrace; second, that the rooms so vacated should be thoroughly cleansed and kalsomined, and third, that all the rooms and spaces in the basement and cellar should be opened and aired each secular day until the meeting of Congress next December, and purified and cleansed, under the direction of Mr. Henry Adams and Dr. J. J. Kinyoun. The report, reso- lution and all the evidence taken by the committee in its investigation were or- dered to be printed as a document. It is understood that this action on the part of the committee was taken becaus Messrs. Hainer and Linton have not con- curred in the original st taken to effect the removal of Mr. Clarke. They do not believe that he has been wholly responsible for the bad condition of the air of the House, and think that there are others to blame. —_———_+-o+—___ NO INDICTMENTS YET. The Recusant Witnesses Were Not In- dicted in Today's List. Although the grand jury of the District made a report to the Criminal Court today the names of the recusant witnesses before the Senate sugar trust investiguting com- mittee were not included in the batch of indictments returned. It is understood that the jury > the case of Broker Chapman of New York city under consideration again, and that the certificate of Vice President Stevenson in the case of Me: Havemeyer and Searles of the sugar trust was presented by District Attorney Bir- ney. District Attorney Birney expressed confidence today that indictments against the two newspaper men and the other wit- nesses would be returned before the end of the week. Whether all the indictments would be reported together he declined to say. ———__ + e+ —___— Treasury Department Changes.

ACTION OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE Expressions by the Vice President and Others. —__+—_—__ THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE When President Garfield fell before the bullet of the assassin Guiteau, the French chamber of deputies expressed its sympathy with the American people by adjourning. Today, when President Carnot lies dead by the dagger of an anarchistic Italian assas-» sin, the Congress of the United States ex- pressed the sympathy of the American peo- ple with their bereaved sister republic by adjourning. The ceremonies in the Senate were brief. A prayer by Rev. Milburn, the blind chap- lain of the Senate, a high tribute to the personal and official character of M. Carnot from Senator Morgan of Alabama, the| chairman of the committee on foreign rela- tions, who had met the president of the French republic on the occasion of the Bering sea arbitration at Paris, a year ago, and a few words of sympathy from Senator Sherman of Ohio preceded the adoption of the resolution expressing the sympathy of the American people. Chaplain M ‘s Prayer. A deep silence was upon the chamber when it met at 10 o'clock, and the rich and | resonant voice of Dr. Milburn, the blind chaplain, delivered up the following invo- cation: © Thou, who art King of kings and Lord of lords, we pray that Thy blessing may rest upon our sister republic, bound to us by strong ties of gratitude and affec- tion, which at this moment is stirred to its very depths by a crime so heinous that it is almost unparalleled in history. Grant unto the people of that nation wisdom, in- telligence, self-control, submission to au- thority, and may those who are in charge of the state have the guidance and direction | of Thy holy spirit, that they may be led into wise counsels and prompt action of most salutary and admirable expedient. ‘e pray, O Lord, that Thy heavenly con- solation may be vouchsafed to the widow and the children who are bereft by this frightful calamity, and grant, O Lord, that the enemies of mankind who are inflicting atrocities upon the nation may be restrain- ed by that providence helping the good men of every nation to act in such a way as that this enormity shall be stamped out from the face of the earth. Keep us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our! rulers and our peoples from the dangers to which they are exposed, and may we re- turn in quiet and in peace to dweil-in con- Servatism and in accordance with the laws of the land and the laws of God. So may the grace of our Father in Heav- en rest upon us, upon our afflicted sister country, upon all lands in this extremity, 80 that we may come at last to the unity and brotherhood intended by Thy Son, the ruler of the world. We pray, throagh His hallowed name, our Savior, Jesus Amen. Mr. Morga: Resolution. Mr. Morgan of Alabama, the chairman of the committee on foreign relations, then. arosé and offered the following resoluticns, which were read ‘at the Clerk’s desk: Resolved, That the Senate of the United States unites with the American people in expressing to the people of France their sor- row and sympathy in the national bereave- ment they are suffering from the cruel blow of an assassin, which was aimed at the peace of France, and fell upon the heart of President Carnot. And as a mark of respect due to the mem- ory of the wise, virtuous and patriotic presi- dent of the republic of France, the Senate will, at the close of this proceeding, stand adjourned until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Second, That the President of the United States is requested to communicate this ex- Pression of national sorrow to the govern- ment of the republic of France and to Madame Carnot. Mr. Morgan’s Remarks. Mr. Morgan then addressed the Senate: “The grief of a national bereavement never falls upon France,” said he, “without exciting the sympathies of the American People. In the ea>iiest days of this repub- lec France won the gratitude of the people of the United States and created a senti- ment of the deepest and most sincere re- gard, which has united the names of Wash- ington and Lafayette in a sacred memory that is unperishable. In the progress of both nations toward the highest attainments of civilization and goverrment France and the United States have moved abreast, and in the front rank of the great powers of the world, without controversy or jealousy. In the noble pur- aed of securing to their people the biess- gs of liberty, regulated by law and found- ed upon the sovereignty of the people, France and the United States have achiev- ed @ common result, and have established, immutably, the true and just basis of human government. It is not to be expected that ungrateful and vicious men will not find a pretext for license and ana that Interfere with their wicked passions and indulgences, or that they will not appeal to the sacred name of liberty as a shelter for their mis- chievous designs. Under forms of government less liberal toward their subjects and more repressive of the common liberties of mankind the same pretexts for crime are found by such persons in their fierce denunciations of tyranny. But in each case the government Owes the duty to the people of stern and summary repression of crime, and especially of crimes that threaten the integrity cf the state and the peace of the country, The Honest Friend of Liberty. President Carnot, the honest friend of Mberty, regulated and supported by law, was marked as a victim by the men who, being criminally insane, hold society and law in contempt, and cruise through the world in the propagation of political piracy and murder, Because he loved the liberty of law he was selected for violert and brutal sacrifice, and has perished by the assassin’s hand. Carnot came from a fam- ily of herote n, who never faltered in their love of liberty established in justice and regulated by law. His grandfather so loved the liberty of France that he was the one senator who alone voted that the first consul was not an emperor—that France was a “republic” and that imperial power was not the legiti- mate offspring of the French revolution. He had voted to execute Louls XVI, and refused to restore the powers of royalty in the person of Napeleon Bonaparte. In casting the 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 without any personal animosity, and that he was quite prepared to render obedience to the emperor should he be elected. He spoke in high praise of the American form of gov- ernment and added that Bonaparte might have adopted it at the time of the treaty of Amiens. When he voted in the national convention for the death of Louis XVI he said: “In my opinion both justice and gcd policy re- quire the death of Louis, but I must confess that never a duty weighed $0 heavily upon m y ‘The son of this great war minister was the father of the stricken president of France. He was so pronounced a republi- can 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 second empire he was classed as a socialist, but his patriotism was recognized as being devoutly sincere, even by Napoleon Til, 'o man in France has inherited greater horors or @ better title to the love of the French people than Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, and no man’s life has better justi- fied his right to the distinguished tribute to his worth bestowed upon him by France to the presidency of the republic.

It was the highest aspiration of Carnot thus to establish justice, and thus to guar- antee liberty to France, and his death was a sacrifice to the cause he so worthily sup- ported. America deplores the cost of this noble effort, to France, to Carnot, and to the cause of self government. I move the adoption of the resolutions.

When the House met today it was gen- erally understood that the proceedings would be short, that the House would adjourn early out of respect to the memory of President Carnot of France.

The following is the text of the Presi- Gent's message to Congress: To the Senate and House of Representa- tives: - The shocking: intelligence has been re- ceived that the president of the French re- public met his death yesterday at the hands of an assassin.

AGAINST ANARCHY Representatives Draw a Lesson From Carnot’s Assassination. EXPRESSIONS BY MB. CRISP AND OTHERS intemperate and Demagogic Ut terances in Congress. MR. STONE'S PROPOSED BILL In Congress there is a universal expres- sion of horror at the murder of the presi- dent of France. The adjournment of both houses of Congress, after the adoption of resolutions, is not a merely formal expres- sion of sympathy for the French people. Every man in Congress appears to be shocked. Expressions of sympathy, regret and horror are uttered with feeling by every one. in the absence of information as to the motives which inspired the deed, while uncertain whethe> the murderer was an anarchist or a common crank, or @ man with an individual grievance, it is not known what interpretation may be put upon the act, but there is a universal disposition to regard it as a terrible admonition of the danger to the whole world of the restless, intemperate and lawless spirit abroad. murderer represented any association of men ts not generally entertained, but that the exciting cause is the agitation of that class of men, who, as an organization, have @ foot-hold in every country, and who are preaching against the existing order of gov- ernment, whatever it may be, is the commonly expressed. All the evil emotions of the human race are being appealed to by this discontented element, and it is said, with regrei, by some of the most thoughtful men in Congress, that this ap- jemperance of peal to the passions, the int Speech, is not comfined to the and other organized agitators, but ts in the halls of Congress and Mouths of great political leaders. Talks with most of the representative men in Congress discloses -he general belief that in this country there is scarcely any dis- position to actual violence on the part of the organizations. What Speaker Crisp Says. Speaker Crisp expressed profound regret at the affiair, but said that it could not shake the permanency of the French repub- lic. That was too well founded to be dis- turbed by anarchy. In its bearing on this country Mr. Cris, said anarchy was essen- tially a product of Europe. It found no natural or congenial soll on which to thrive im the United States. ‘The foreign heard the agai 3. “I hardly think so,” said the Speaker; “it is very dificult to draw the legal line be- tween Ifberty and license. The ip that in framing a law to prevent license we will trench upon that civil liberty which is the basis of our institutions. lic detestation of such Repicsentative McCreary. Representative McCreary says the as- sassination of President Carnot is a warn- ing which the American Congress should not fail to heed. “I believe that the present ‘Congress should enact a law which would strike at the root of anarchy,” E | &r [ i adieeityis cabigl to the the the Hl : i hi { Weslee Judge De Armond said: “The superlative has taken possession of our speech. The public wrongs to be corrected and the acts of public men to be criticised are painted glaring colors, and the tional are excited to a false idea of the situation. The people all over the world appear to be too nervous, too intemperate. Representative Storer’s Views. Representative Storer of Ohio said: “This shows that the anarchist is as hostile to a republic as to a monarchy; that he is the enemy of government and must be looked Qpon as such and treated as such. The ' lo French politician, he was at- tacked and abused only for being prudent, quiet and stiff in manner. His patriotism, his ity of public and private character, his desire for the peaceful extension of his country’s power and influence, and its in- ternal welfare, was never questioned. This tragedy may give rise to grave conse- quences among the powers of Europe. los- sibly it may bring all governments into closer unton against the social enemy which threatens czar, kaiser and president «like. I do not apprehend any overturning or weakening of the republic in France. On the contrary I think it will strengthen gov- ernment there, and the republic is much the strongest of late years of all forms of possible government for the French people. The same element against order and society is working the world over. Carnot’s mur- der is more tragic, but no more atrocious,
