PHIL DALY, JR., WILL Wp:D AN
ACTRESS.
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.

By tin* disaster to th • tugboat James

noon it now seems certain that at least
A'.' persons were drowned. The bo lies
of four have been recovered an 1 identi
fied. Investigation through families and
friends known to have been upon the
tug when she went down gives a list of
5W who are missing. So long a time
having elapsed since the disa-ter with
out any tidings having baen receiv'd
from any of these ;is there is hardly a
ground for hope that any of them are
alive.
It may be that the death list will go
even beyond the toial of 1 ‘ th it is now

and it is stated that they lefl home «• il ly
Sunday morning to go down to Hi • Fish

was a promiscuous one, and it m iv be
that some of those who are thus report
ed as missing were on board ot tier and
have perished, but as it is not certain
that they were on board, their names
are nut included in th • hst of missing.

commissioned to save th * country from
the Democrats, and the ex-president was
to he associated with her in the work.
She held a copy of the Bible and a hymn
liook in her hand, and pointed to the
former as her authority. She also
pointed to a valise by her side, saying
that she h id come to stay with him un
til her mission was accomplished.
General Harrison tried to reason with
her. but she became very violent and de
clared that she would burn h’.s house
and every house in tho city if he re
fused to join her in the accomplishment
of her mission. She then said that she
had Is-eu working for 27 years, and had
accumulated a fortune in l r nit"d States
bonds which she did not propos • to lose.
Harrison excused hiinsdt lor a mo
ment, and, going to the telephone, rail
ed up the police station. Two police
men responded promptly, and under
the pretense of taking the visitor to a
prominent woman in the city, succeed
ed in getting Jier to the station. There
she became still more violent and was
locked up in a cell.
From papers in her valise it is learn
ed that her name is Louise Hudson and
her home either in Nashville or Paris.

Expressions of grief among tho club
members over the manner in which
President Carnot was murdered gave
way to some extent to the expressions of
regret that the people should assault the
people of another nationality because
the murderer happened to he one of
them. The threatened determination for
a time of some of the hot heads to re
venge the president's death on Italians
in Chicago was considered serious
enough by Mr. Bruweart and Count
Maz/.i, acting consul for the Italian gov
ernment. to work together for the pre

consuls called upon Mr. Bruweart to
extend th ir sympathies not onlv to him

his government.

THE FRENCH SELECT THEIR
EXECUTIVE.
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

struck because they wanted one of the
members nt their union reinstated. In
the other case it was because they

A Kttinnrkttlile
Washington, June 27.—Reports have
reached tho navy department of a ro-
markable phenomenon which occurred
at the Norfolk navy yard one week ago,
in which two men were instantly killed
and a number of others knocked sense
less by an electric discharge. 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.
