WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT AT LYONS He Was Driving to the Theater at |" the Time. AN ITALIAN THE CRIMINAL Sadi Carnot, president of the French re- public, while on his way to the theater at Lyons, France, last night, was stabbed to the heart by an assassin, who, under pre- tense of presenting a petition, sprang on the step of the vehicle in which the presi- dent was riding end plunged a dagger into his breast. President Carnot died a few hours after being stabbed. The assassin, who is an Italian youth, named C. Giovanni Santo, narrowly escaped a terrible death at the hands of the infu- riated people, but was saved by the police. He refused to explain why he had stabbed the president. President Carnot was visiting Lyons in connettion with the international exhibi- tion. Upon his arrival there he was tendered a@ reception at the prefecture, after which, he visited the exhibition. From the exhi- bition he proceeded to the Palais de Com- merce, where a banquet was given in his honor. Stabbed tn His Carringe. At 9:25 o'clock lest night President Car- not started for the theater, where a gala performance was to be given because of his presence in the city. Several carriages were in the procession, the first one being occu- pied by the president. M. Carnot's carriage was driven slowly along in front of the Palace of Commerce, andythen turned into the Rue de la Republique, still following the facade of the palace. When half-way down the street, which was lined with en- thuslastic crowds of people, who were loudly cheering, a man rushed out of the crowd and sprang upon the step of the president's landau. Just at this moment M. Carnot was wav- ing his right hand and saluting, with his hat in his left hand, in response to the ov tlon that was being given him by the crowd. The people close to the carriage saw that the man standing on the step had a knife in his hand. By the glare of the electric lights they saw the blade gleam in the air as the assassin’s arm descended, | and then President Carnot fell 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 M. Carnot, immediately struck the assassin a blow full in the face and knocked him from the step, thus preventing ‘the man from xgait-stabbing the president, which it was his evident intention to do. Instantly cries of “Le President est as- sassine!” “Mort a I’ assassin!” were heard on every side, and the crowd in the vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous pro- portions, every member of it seemingly in- tent upon killing the assassin. He was grasped by a dozen hands, and his life would have then and there paid the forfeit of bis crime had it not been for several sergeants de ville, who seized him and attempted to draw him away from his captors. Tried to Lynch the Assassin, This was found to be impossible, as the infuriated populace were determined to lynch the man, and the efforts of the ser- geants availed nothing beyond saving him from instant death. Blows 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 their prisoner, but to get the cap- tive through the crowd was practically impossible. In the meantime the news of the attempted murder had spread, and mounted guards were sent to the aid of the policemen, who were still struggling to pre- serve the life of the assassin. With drawn sabers in their hands the guards rode down into the maddened crowd, heedless of whom their horses trampe: upon. The crowd slowly gave way berore the horses, and at last the center of the mob was reached. Then a cordon was form- ed around the ten almost exhausted police- men and their captive, and the march to the police station began. Even thus sur- rounded the prisoner was not safe, for men in the crowd made franuc endeavors to reach him. The guards repelled these attacks with the flat sides of their swords, 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 indignation > -osgaaa @ human being been seen in the 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 = the condition of M. Carnot was hope- jess. Announcing the News. The receipt of the news of the assas- sination caused a great sensation at the Grand Theater, which was filled to the walls by the elite of Lyons. The theater presented a brilliant scene, the handsome tollets of the ladies being offset by the gay uniforms of the many military officers pres- ent. All were waiting with impatience the arrival of the president, and all were unable to understand the delay. Suddenly a man entered the theater, cry- ing at the top of his v “The president has been assassinated. The most intense excitemMnt followed this abrupt announcement. Women screamed and several fainted. Many men, without walting to secure their hats, ran out of the building 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 presi- dent was true. Finally, through the throng sped a landau conveying Adrien Dupuy, a wrother of Prime Minister Dupuy, and Prefect Rivaud, the crowd falling away before it as it dashed into the Rue de la Republique, preceded by four mounted nes. 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 Repub- lique.’ The carriage was stopped and MM. Chau- ey and Rivaud in tremulous voices said: Don't shout, the president has been the victim of an outrage.” The cheers were curs for vengeance. instantly turped to ‘The landau proceeded to the theater, where Rivaud and Chaudey went to the preside: box. soon as they were seen the whole audience rose, and amid pro- aud sald, in a voice The president has just found silence M. broken with sobs: been assassinate: This announcement was received with a terrible demonstration of fury, as the audience, when the first report of the as- sassination was received, had,though great- ly excited, generally discredited it. The theater resounded with shouts of “A short a l'assassin,” and cries for vengeance upon him, When silence was in @ measure restored M. Rivaud continue: Stn the ie . onehiqne a mincmant, Deputy Chaudey | and many and loud were the aries | 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!’ “Re- venge!”" “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 perforinance in the president’s honor can- rot take place.” The audience then left, many of them pro- ceeding at once to the prefecture, where they stood in the streets waiting for any news from the building. Examing the Wound, On arrival at the prefecture Gen. Borlus, the prefect and the mayor alighted. Presi- dent Carnot lay motionless and unconscious upon the cushions of the carriage. His eyes were closed. His waistcoat was un- buttoned, and his shirt, on which the bright red cordon of the Legion of Honor was con- spicuous, was covered on the left side just ever the heart by a large blood stain that extended to the hip. It was impossible to tell from his appearance whether he was dead or alive. ‘The cruwd surged about in the vicinity of the carriage, but the mounted guards and the foot police held them in check some dis- tance from the landau in which the presi- dent was lying. Many avere the expressions of pity for the President and anger at his assassin. Gen. Borius, the prefect and the mayor, assisted by a number of attendants, lifted M. Carnot from the carriage and with diffi- culty carried him as tenderly as possible to |@ room on the first floor of the prefecture and laid him on a bed. Dr. Gailleton, who 1s mayor of Lyons, then examined the wound. After examining the president's wound all the physicians in attendance upon him agreed that an operation was necessary, Whereupon Dr. Ollier immediately probed the wound. While this was being done M. Carnot came to his senses and said, feebly, but dis- tinctly: “Now you are hurting me.” ‘The doctors, however, continued to attend the wound, the outward bieeding of which had stopped. They knew, though, that the president's condition was extremely grave, as they more than suspected that internal hemorrhages had commenced. After M. Carnot had been taken from his carriage and placed upon a bed in the pre- fecture nobody but the doctors and the offi- cers of his military household, who had ac- companied him to Lyons, were allowed to rol the room to which he had been car- ried. Death of the Presid Shortly after midnight the archbishop of Lyons was summoned to the bedside of the dying president to administer to him the last rites of the church. He was in the room but a short time when he emerged and re- tired to an adjoining room. Here he re- mained until 12:30 o'clock, when he was jagain summoned to the president's room, where he administered to him the sacra- ment. M. Carnot remained conscious to the last. He realized that his life was rapidly ebbing. Dr. Ponce leaned over the bed on which the prestdent was lying and said to him: “Your friends are here, Monsieur le Presi- dent.” Carnot replied: “I am grateful for their Presence,” and in less than a minute he gasped for breath, there was a convulsive (shuddering of his body and at 12:45 the | president of France was dead. The bed on which M. Carnot died was of fron. It was placed between two windows of the palace. At its foot was the bed of honor, which had been reserved for the president. s yiyp'The News im Parts. Immedfately after the death of M. Carnot Prime Minister Dupuy started on his return to Paris to officially announce the news to the senate and the chamber of deputies. The senate and the chamber of deputie: will assemble in congress at Versailles at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternovn for the pur- pose of electing a new president. The A nm a Beardless Youth.

When arrested he was attired in a brown suit, and wore a peaked cap that matched the suit in color. As he marched under his police guard | from the Rue de la Republique to the sta- tion he held his head down, but his eyes glanced 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 foolhardiness, unless he desired to commit suicide, for there is not the slightest doubt that had he gotten away from the protec- tion afforded him by the police he would have been torn limb from limb by crowd. THE DEAD PRESIDENT. Career of the Youngest Executive of the French Re; jie. M. Carnot was born August 11, 1837. He was the grandson of Lazare Nicola Mar- guerite Carnot, who was one of the most radical of the active spirits of the French revolution, a member of the national assem- bly of 1791 and of the committee of public safety under Robespierre, whose fate he Was saved from sharing only by the imili- tary services he had rendered his country in gaining the victory over the Prince of Coburg at Wattignies in October, 1783, and especially as minister of war. He was sub- sequently called to the same post by Na- poleon after the latter's return from Elba, though he remained a staunch republican throughout, and published several literary \ aby in advocacy of his democratic prin- ciples. Carnot, as president of France, was younger than any of his predecessors on their accession to the office. He studied civil engineering at the Polytechnic School of Paris, where he graduated at the head of his class, in 1863. After serving in the government council of roads and bridges he was appointed to a post as engineer in upper Savoy, where he remained until after the collapse of the empire, in 1870. In Jan- uary, 1871, he was made prefect of the de- partment of the Seine interieur, and effec- jtvely organized the defense of that and the two adjoining departments of the Euse and Calvados. In the following month he was elected to assembly from the depart- ment of Cote d'Or. His pronounced repub- licanism placed him with the more advanced wing of his party, and he was presently elected secretary of the republican left. In 1si6, when the assembly was divideti into two branches, he was returned as deputy from Beaune, and became one of the sec- retaries of the chamber. M. Sadi Carnot was frequently called up- on to serve on the budget committee, of | which he was chairman in 1883. His profes- sional training and experience as engineer jhaving rendered him an authority on the | subject of public works, he was named an junder secretary of that department in De- cember, 1578, and on the accession of Ferry, |in 1ssv, he was given the minister's port= | folio. He retired with his chief on the ac- | cession of Gambetta, in 1881, and returned to his post under Brisson, in 1885. In 1886 | the latter gave way to Freycinet, and Car- jnot. Was’ made minister of finance. As such he took a stand in favor of liberal public works; Freycinet stood by him in his opposition to the reductions demunded | by the budget committee, and the commit- | tee, being supported by the chamber, under |the lead of Clemenceau, the ministry re- | signed. When the Freycinet ministry fell the | question at issue was one of economy and the minister of finance refused to conform |to reductions in expenditures de- manded by the budget committee. Clemen- |ceau then overthrew Freycinet on a vote | to sustain Carnot’s estimates, | There was great enthusiasm in Paris | when, on the evening of December 3, 1887, Marie Franeois Sadi Carnot was elected president of France to succeed Grevy on the second ballot over M. Jules Ferry at the parliament at Versailles. Ferry and De Freycinet withdrew in his fevor after the first bellot, when it became evident that neither could command sufficient votes to place him in the Elysee palace, and thi he | election of Sadi Carnot, which already was | indicated as probable, was made certain by [416 hallate in bie coer AN tha factions or | ene republicans and a considerable number of royalists had run a swift race to be on the wmning side. When the president of the electoral con- gress, M. Lervye?, announced the result to President Carnot the latter accepted his election as “a high testimony ot tne desire for pacification and concord with which re- publican France was animated.” A few days later—December 12, 18s7. after the construction of his first ministry, | President Carnot addressed to the chambers | a@ message, in which he outlined a program of governmental and legislative action, which | contained the following points: “Practical | reforms ed to encourage national work, to fortify credit, assist business, ame- Morate the finances, serionsly restore the equilibrium of the budgets, give considerable attention to the honor and interests of the | army and navy, the development of good re- lations with foreign powers, &c.”” From the day he became president M. Carnot had diligently tried to carry out his mission and had personally taken the great est Interest in all public functions and in all | public affairs, doing everything possible to | spread and strengthen the sentiments of concord and contidence in the republic. The election of the conservative republican candidate was regarded as the best result tor France. Radical triumph under Ferry | was feared as an era of bloodshed and as a threat of the republic's dissolution. THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. Deep Sorfow Expressed Throughout the City. Although the public places of Washing- ton were deserted last evening, the new of the assass'uation of President Carnot | became known over the city with remark- able rapidity. Tne most profound sensa-| tion was created everywhere, but partic- | ularly in official circles was the tragedy | most keenly felt, and most intelligently dis- | cussed. President Cleveland, the Vice Pres- ident, Secretary Gresham, the French min- | news by the Associated Press reporters, and | learned it from them, for no offictal dis-| patches were received. Without exception | they were deeply affected and expressed | their regret in strong terias. To French Ambassador Patenotre the announcement was a great and mot? unexpected shock, | coming as it did from a clear sky at a/ time when the internal and foreign affairs | of France are in a peaceful state. | Until a late hour the French embassy Was the center of interest, many diplomats | and other officials of this government driv- | ing there to learn what details they might | of the affair, and tender their expres-/ sions of regret. j Next door to the embassy, at the Metro- politan Club, where the diplomats are ac-| customed to te, there was a seeth- ing of excitement, and warm discussions | in various tongues of the probable eflect of | Carnot’s death upon the complications | of European politics, which are wide-spread- ing and Intricate. There was some @riving about in ad-| | ministration circles and 4d is for ofi- {cial information, which was not forth- coming. The lack of it was accounted for | by the fact that government offices are) evernment officials off Guty | . Up to a late hour no official cablegrams had been received even at the French embassy, ana in defaut f such in-| formation the President and Secrewry of | State did not feel justified in sending any ex —— of regret. ie news was carried to the President by Secretary Thurber as the two were Starting out for a drive early in the even- ing. The President was deeply shocked at the news, speaking of it repeatedly during the ¢rj during the evening the news it tel the details of the affair ‘Was sought with interest at the White House. The announcement, which came shortly after 9 o'clock, that’ President Car-| | Bot was dead, was immediately told to the President, who had hoped up to that time | | that the account of M. Carnot's injuries Was exaggerated and that he would live. | As soon as official information is received {from the American representatives in France the President will at once send a| message to the French government ex- pressing the sympathy and sorrow of the United States at the sad calamity that has | befallen the sister republic. / M. Patenotre, the Frenc: ambassador, | bad not, up to @ late hour last night, re-| ceived any information from his govern- ment concerning the assassination. He was | informed of the assassination early in the evening by representatives of the press,and was rendered almost speechless as he real- ized the full extent of the disaster. At first he was inclined to question the in- formation, but as he became fully con- vinced that it was true, he asked eagerly for further information, and expressed the deepest emotion and sorrow. He waited impatiently for news from his government, but none came, end at length he retired to | Clifton, the residence of Mr. Eiverson, his father-in-law, leaving orders that any mes- sages obtainable should be promptly sent} to him. He accounted for the fact that he| did not receive a cablegram from his gov- ernment by the excitement which he knew prevailed in Paris and Lyons, and al: y the fact that on Sunday almost Officials go to the country for the day. The ambassador did rot want to talk of the probable successor to President Carnot, but said that there was no vice president and a successor would have to be elected by the combined ballot of the senate and chamber of deputies. He said he could not account for the assassination of the presi- dent, who was extremely popular with the people, and who was about to complete his term of service, having positively declined re-election. He could not, he said, think of any class which could have desired the death of M. Carnot. Secretary Gresham learned of the assassi- nation from the early bulletins, and was much affected by it. He saw the t as soon as the latter had returned from his drive, but no official action was taken aiting word from ex-Senator Eustis, our ambassador in France. Word from this officer was anxiously awaited, but none had ccme up to @ late hour last night. WHAT PUBLIC MEN SAY. — Senators and Representatives on the Great Tragedy. ‘Twice has Washington been the theater of a@ presidential assassivation, so that naturally the news kindled reminiscences of like events in American history. There have been periods in the history of France within this century when such a deed would have inevitably foretold revo- lution or attempts at revolution, but among those best posted it is thought that the republic 1s too strongly established in France to be shaken by the death of a president. There are plots and plots con- stantly brewing under the surface in Paris, it is said, but the police know who should be suppressed with an iron hand in such a crisis. Hopes of the monarchists of re- turn to power are said to be futile by the best informed, partly because of the spirit | of republicanism, and partly from the weak personality of the Due d’Orieans and the Bonapartist claimant. Senator Morgan, chairman of the foreign tions committee, said: “This is a blow at the peace and justice and civilization of the world. France in her long and e¥entful history has had for | j leaders more brilliant men than Carnot, | greater men, probably, as the world gves, but the French people have never had president of broader statesmanlike views on all great questions or one who had made | greater sacrifices for her prosperity than he. And in return for his devotion the French believed in him. He was popular with all right thinking men and women throughout the nation, and one whom no slander had ever injured in theit estima- tion.” Senator Morgan was a member of the Paris Bering sea arbitration commission, | and in common with other members wa! ; Presented to President Carnot and sa | quite a good deal of him while in Pari: In his intercourse with men, the Senator said, his manner was more democratic than would naturally be looked for in a French- man. He had a schorarly face, and his! bearing could easily be mistaken for a col- lege professor. He was always frank and cordial and impressed one as being thor- oughly sincere in all he said and did. He was just such a man as France needs for her president—conservative, law abiding | and law enforcing, and it may be to these | admirable qualities he owes his death. As {is well known, the administration of jus- tice {s very pro: in Fran nd some- tHmas ravers a anor t ' | love of the people than he. ister and other officials, were given the | ' he had gained the enmity of the anarchistic element by his straightforward business- ike dealings with crime. Senator Morgan was asked whether or not, In view of the assassination of Presi- deat Carnot protection would be availing. The presen: of an unusual guard of troops or police would be a constant temptation to evilly disposed persons. The Senator spoke of an interview that he had on one occasion with President Car- not, during which he spoke of the high te- ard he had for the United States, our in- stitutions and our people, and he seemed to know our public men quite as well as many of cur own people knew them. The Sena- tor spoke fcelingly of his death, and said that it filled him with profound sorrow and indignation that so great and s0 good @ man as Carnot should be stricken down by the hand of an assassin, Representative Hitt of Illinois, charge @affaires at Paris during the eventful years from I874 to 1881, formerly chairman of the House foreign’ affairs committee, spoke of the dead president as a man of pure Ife and of unsullied character and reputation. No man in France, in his opin- ion, was heid in higher esteem or more thoroughly deserved the confidence and When Mr. Hitt first became acquainted with him he was @ membef of the assembly, and was regarded as entirely safe and conservative on all important national questions. At the time he was overshadowed somewhat by Gam- betta and Jules Ferry, who were both great orators, but he steadily grew in the esti- mation of the people, who recognized im him the qualities that France needed in @ jer. Mr. Hitt said he could not understand what possible motive there could be in the killing of Carnot. “It seems,” he said, “like malignant in- sanity, and nothing else. His life had been without reproach in all the years that he had spent in France, and he had never heard an aspersion against his character. The motive might have been revenge for the execution of Vaillant, as it was weil known the President hai withstood every appeal and every influence that was brought to bear to save the culprit’s life. This will very Mkely be found to be the cause of his assassination.” Senator Sherman, ex-chairman of the committee on foreign relations, was visibiy affected on hearing the news, and exclaim- ed: “This is a crime against civilization. I regarded Carnot as one of the strongest men that Franee had had in many years He could always be trusted to do the sen- sible thing on every occasion. He was thoroughly republican in all of his ideas and had the greatest admiration and rev spect for America and Americans.” Senator Sherman met him ig Paris four years ago, and recalied the reception given on the 4th day of July in commemoration of Independence day. On that occasion President Carnot spoke of America as the model republic of the world, and bespoke for her a glorious future. Senator Sherman Was greatly impressed with the sincere and unostentatious manner of the French presie dent, and said that he considered him one of the greatest, if not one of the most brile weed men that republican France had ever nown. Representative McCreary, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs in the Housg, “I had the pleasure of meeting Carnot at Paris after the n the international monetary conference. regarded him as an able, conservative soar statesman, who —-— to be en- voring to discharge every duty devolving on him as president of the republic of France, with the greatest fidelity and greatest earnestness. At that time he wi very popular with all classes, and I ha no doubt that at the close of his term be is as much beloved and respected as any of the presidents of the French republic. “I believe his death will be deeply regret- ted by the people in the United States, ir- respective of nationality or class. When met him he expressed an interest in government and our people. I think cannot express too strongly our deep = and profound sorrow for his ” Bi 45 ————_ -+0e+ -—__ THOSE CUBAN DUTIES. The notice of the intention of the Span- ish government to increase considerably on the Ist of July the duties on a large num- ber of American products entering Cuba under the reciprocity treaty has created @ great commotion among exporters, end particularily among the shippers of wheat and flour, who found themselves caught unexpectedly with large contracts for fu- ture deliveries which cannot be landed in Cuba before the date when the new duties were to be imposed. So in this case they stood to lose heavily on their contracts, as they. would be obliged to pay the higher duty. Appeals have been poured into the State Department, from the west particularly, begging the government to iritercede to protect these shippers. Mr. Uhi, who is acting as secretary in the absence of Mr. Gresham, took prompt steps to save the interests of our millers, and cabled United a Minister Gaylor at Madrid as fol- DEPARTMENT OF STATE, July 19. “Shippers represent the great hardship of the abrupt increase of duties on July 1.
