Feeling Over Carnot’s Death—The French Colony to Take Steps to Hold a Public Demon stration Soon. New Yokk, .Time 2^. -Tin* assassina tion of Pr. snleiit Carnot has aroused the utmost horror an! indignation among the members of the French col ony in New York. Joseph Thorou, president of the leading French society •f New York, stated that he knew of no arrangements that had hecu made as y«t for a public expression by French residents of their sentiments on the as ,as- sination. He intended, however, to see the French consul about the matter. Mr. Thorou said that a nieetin-' had been called to consider preparations lor the celebration on July II of the "Fall of the Hastile,” at which all the leading French residents would probably be present. In all probability the qu sf on of holding a public meeting will then be discussed. Tl»** T»ik l>i*:»st**r OAT Smi<|y Hook. By tin* disaster to th • tugboat James I).

I never heard an unkind word said about Carnot in Rome. "I do not think the assassination of Presidet Carnot is likely to lead to in- ternati< nal complication.

Socialists Try Their Schemes—The Presiding Officer Promptly Quelled Their Little Effoit to Keep Up a Disturbance. Pa ms, June 28.- The national con gress summoned to elect a president of the French republic for the full term of seven years, was called to order in the palace of Versailles by M. Uhalloniel- Lacour at 1:10 p. m. At least live min utes elaps -d after the formal call to order before there was snflieient quiet to enable the presiding officer to he heard. When, finally, the assembly became orderly, M. Challemel Lacuur an nounced the tragic death of AL Carnot and declared congress up.-n fur tie* pur- I >ose of electing his successor. Scireclv tad the president ceased ■'peaking when AI. Alichelin, socialist, sprang to Ins feet and shouted: “I demand tho suppression of the presidency of the republic." A tumultuous scene ensued, Hie up roar being so great that the president could not make himself heard, socialists Seemed to be stronger lunged and their cries of "vivo la revolution” could be heard all over the ball. M. DeBaudry and AI. D’Assen endeav ored to propose it revision of the consti tution, but were quickly silenced by the president. Lots were then cast for a ballot, the object being to see which letter the bal lot should begin with. The letter "L” was drawn and the name of AI, Laharthe, moderate Republican, was tlie lirst called. In accordance with custom, AI. La- barthe ascended Hie m-trum and. being recognized by the scrutator, pheed his ticket in the great urn winch servos as a ballot box, and descended and return- ad to his seat. Senators and deputies Whose names were subsequently called, wen, through the same cer 'inony, and the voting proceeded nionotonou.dy in this way. When the name of M.

Sk« , f« , li His I i»rt*i*r # Jean (’asiniir-Perier, wbo has just been elected president of the Freneli re public, is a ib'seendant of a long hu ) of illustrious Fronehnien. His grandfather was president of th« council under King Louis Philippe, and his father was a minister under Thiers. He was born in 18)7. During the Franco German war he volunteered to Serve with the “AIobiles” of the Aube, and,distinguishing himself, received the legion of honor In is;*2 he became chief of the cabinet ot bis father's do partment, and was elected to the cham ber in 1871.

Consid erable mystery still exists about tho occurrence, aud not even yet ha* ft been jiossiblo to obtain full particulars. It ap{iearn from the account received that tho steel cruisor Raleigh was in the Woodson dry dock last Wednesday and a number of men were working on her hull, when a thunderstorm swept over the naAal station. The workmen sought shelter beneath the vessel, which rested on blocks in the center of the dock. Suddenly and without warning two of the men fell dead and most of the others were knocked senseless by an electrical discharge. others of the vessel, who were sittin* about on the deck, did not feel tho shock, but all of the compasses and similar instruments were affected, and ,h** vessel was permanently in.igtndlzed in such a manner as to render the electric apparatus and compass useless without considerable repairs and adjustment. The only explanation that is offered by the naval officers for escape of the officers of the vessel from the shock was that the Raleigh was Insulated by being "ii the blocks which were dry while the mey who were killed or injured were in shal low xvater on the bottom of the dock.
