mental wells have been sunk in the
island, which is composed entirely of
sand, and it has been found that the

the water were tested by the state

Have a Scheme.
Denver, Cola, .June 27. As the dele
gations to the seventh annual conven
tion of the National Republican
league, which meets to-day in the
Broadway theater, arrive the en
thusiasm grows greater and there is
every reason to believe the confidence
that has attended all other republi

pany this one. There are probably
1,000 delegates in the city and 1,500 or
more visitors here as camp followers.
It is expected 1,000 more delegateswill
be on hand to-day.
There has been a lot of talk by the
silver state delegates and there is no
doubt there is a concerted movement,
led by Dubois and Goodwin, to put
the convention on record, if possible,
as favoring the free coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 to 1. There are a few
Nebraska and Kansas delegates who
will join them, and also some from
Missouri.
The executive committee of the
league was in session last night until
near 12 o'clock. Reports of officers
and other routine business were dis
cussed. The principal topic had ref
erence to the finances of the league
and how to meet the expenses. Secre
tary Humphrey lias done considerable
traveling during the last fourteen
months and the expenses of the present
convention are heavy. It will take
87,000 to meet the obligations now
outstanding.

PRESIDENT OF FRANCE ASSAS*
SINATED AT LYONS.
Attacked in His Carriage and Stabbed
by an Italian —He Remains Conscious
Until Death Utmost Excitement
Throughout France.
Paris, June 26.—President Carnot
was stabbed last evening in Lyons and
died forty minutes past midnight As
the president was leaving the
banquet of the exposition at Lyons
at 9:30 o’clock in order to go to the
theater he was stabbed with a knife
in the stomach in the region of the
liver. The assassin was arrested and
was recognized as an Italian who had
arrived in Lyons yesterday afternoon,
lie has refused to answer any ques
tions until he is brought before the
judges. The man’s name is Cesare
Giovanni Santo.
The crow d that assembled as soon
as the assassination of the president
became known attacked and demol
ished three Italian cafes in Lyons. It
was impossible, in spite of the inter
vention of the troops, to keep the
crowd in check. The condition of the
president was very alarming. The
physicians succeeded in checking the
hemorrhage, but at 11 o’clock it broke
out again and the case became hope
less.
Mme. Carnot and her children left
for Lyons on a special train at 1
o’clock this morning. M. Dupuy, the
premier and president of the council
of ministers, returned to Paris at
once. The council is convened to
meet at 10 o’clock this morning.

cause a profound sensation through
out the entire country. Paris is quiet,
but to-morrow there will certainly be
great excitement Carnot was the
type of an honest bourgeois, and in
his unmerited and stupid death he will
be profoundly saluted by all his ad
versaries. He did not merit such an end.
He may have committed faults against
parliamentary discipline, but he never
committed any against political
honesty. During his presidency he
had to struggle against serious diffi
culties, and he always knew how to
act with moral dignity.
PEOPLE WEEP AND CRY VENGEANCE
Fifty Thousand People on the Streets
of Lyons After the Murder.
Lyons. June 26.—The assassin pre
sented himself at the door of the pres
ident’s carriage holding a rose in his
hand. This is the reason why the
police allowed him to approach. The
president of the department of Rhone,
as soon as the murder was known,
went to the theater and advised the
public to remain calm. The theater
was at once emptied. All the illum
inations were extinguished. Men and
women in the streets wept and shouts
of vengeance against the Italians were
heard from the crowd.
More than 50,000 people went to
wards the Italian consulate, around
which the police, warned in time, had
massed. The crowd demanded that
the Italian flag and coat of arms
should be removed. Another part of
the crowd went to the Cafe Casati,
kept by an Italian, and in spite of the
presence of the troops sacked the
place and burnt all its contents.
The wound received by M. Carnot
was in the upper liver, which was
pierced through and through. From
the first the physicians believed that
the wounded man was lost. He was
transported on a mattress and his
clothing was,cut off him. In order to
facilitate the bleeding the breast was
opened to a length of twenty centi
meters. Because of the president’s
weakness chloroform was not adminis
tered, and he cried out several times:
"Mon Dieu, Est-ce que cela ne finira
pas? Mon Dieu. Comme je souffre. ”
(My God. Will this never end? My
God, how lam suffering.) He died at
12:43.

emerged and retired to an adjoining
room. Here he remained until 12:30
o'clock, when he was again sum
moned to the president’s room, wnere
he admii tered to him the sacrament
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. Poncet
leaned over the bed on which the
president was lying and said to him,
"Your friends are here, Monsieur le
President.”
M. 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 the president of France was
dead.
