The grand salon in the Elysee palace has been transformed into a funeral chamber.

The grand court of honor has been changed completely with crape hangings. The rulers of all civilized countries have sent telegrams expressing to Mine. Carnot their sorrow and sympathy.

An Italian who made a sneering remark con cerning President Carnot narrowly escaped lvnching. In Grenoble a mob broke into the Italian consulate and wrecked the furniture. During the night the Italian work men in foreign factories doing business here were protected by the police, as the feel ing against them is running very high.

Thousands of persons were in the streets at an early hour this morning, awaiting the arrival of the body of the president, and stood with uncovered heads as the cortege passed from the railway station to the palace. When the coffin was carried into the palate M. Carnot'a coachman, who was greatly attached to his master, was so over come with grief that he fainted. He re gained consciousness and then died from the shock soon afterward. When the coffin was being taken from the hearse it slipped from the grasp of some of the men handling it.

The heavy casket fell upon two or three of the men who were holding it, injur ing them painfully. Mobs Pillage Italian Houses. Lyons, June 2G.

11 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONVENE IN DENVER. Enthusiastic Opening; of the Great Meet- I tog" of Republicans from Every State and Territory A Ringing Political Ad dress by President William W. Tracy, Dexveb, CoL, June 26. When the seventh annual convention of the Nation a Republican league was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning the Broadway Theatre, handsomely decorated for the occasion with the stars and stripes and a mass of foliage and growing flowers, was filled with 1500 delegates and representative republicans from every State in the Union. When the applause evoked by the appearance of President W.

Wi Tracy on the stage bad subsided, prayer was offered, after which Secretary Humphrey stepped forward and read the call for the gathering. After the reading Secretary Humphrey called the roll of States, and delegates handed up their credentials, every State' and Territory in the Union being represented. After the appointment of numerous committees, President Tracy stepped forward and delivered his annual address. He said: President Tracy's Address. Gentlemen of.

the Convention The National' Republican league, representing, as it does, tne youth and activity of the republican party, ever seeking new fields and new associations, turns for ite annual meeting to the young and vigorous est, the child of the Union. I congratulate the members of the Na tional Republican league on the auspicious opening of its seventh annual convention. Nothing could be more indicative of the condition of the republican party than this great gathering of intelligent young men. who nave come thousands of miles to attend a convention which offers no promise of individual preferment or 'political reward. We accept the most generous hospitality extended to us by the republican of Denver and Colorado, in the stone happy spirit in which it is offered, appreciating that, at this time, republicans and republican principles are welcome guests to the intelligent and conservative citizens of this great State.

1 he delegates In this convention, lepre- senting every State in nion, have come together here, not to any candidates lor public office, not to mulgate a plat- form for the future irui 'e of the repubh- can party, but as members of the National Republican league, to one again renew their fealty to the republican party and re publican principles and to make more strong and perfect our organization, preparatory to entering another campaign for The Nominees of Our Partv Convention. It is for you, as of our whole country, to pan the few" days you are assembled here together, on the very bnck bone of the continent, in considering those public questions which may be near the hearts of the people of any section of our great country. Let the discussion be free and open, untrammeled and unfettered; the motto of the National Republican league is "education and organization." If there be those who are fearful lest something injudicious may be said in this convention, let them recall the sentiment "Where, without the dreams of young men lighting the path of human possibilities, wonld be the deeds of the old men dignifying the past with human achievements And also remember that "It is the all-conauerine faith of vouth that moves the world. True to our motto. it should be our duty to educate each other as to what legislation is needed to properly develop our various interests and demonstrate to each other that our reasons for asking such legislation are sound and clear.

Prosperity Under Republican Rale. The officers of the league have made their report for the year to your executive committee. The year has been a long and hard one. Let us hope there may not be another so long in our generation. It is a matter of some satisfaction that in a year such as has just passed, when men's minds were fully occupied with their personal affairs, the headquarters of the Republican National league have been maintained, open and ready for work, every day since the Louisville convention.

At the time of our meeting in Louisville, the great cyclone of destruction and ruin which has swept over our country was but a mere cloud on the hori zon, and although the democratic party was at that time promising legislatiou which might in a measure have warded off the storm, they are still floundering in the quagmire of legislative stupidity, and have made no progress toward extricating themselves, except when assisted by republican statesmanship. In 1861, when the democratic party let go of its power, the credit of the country was impaired; it was threatened by rebellion and its flag disgraced, factories wre closed and workmen were parading its streets clamoring for bread. When it returned to complete work. in 1893, it found a happy and contented peo ple, a nation at the very zenith of prosper ity ana new eDuwrun ruu Projects Encompassing; the Continent it found the new West thrilled with the (Continued on the second page.)

The following is a brief history of the Vermont division Sons of Veterans The Vermont division, Sons of Veterans, has had a varied career since its organization, but at the present time is gaining new members and having a steady growth, and with good management for a year or two will be one of the largest divisions for a State of the size of Vermont in the The provisional division was constituted in January, 1883, with Dr. J.C.

Rutherford of Providence, R. but then of Burlington, as its colonel. The first camp to be organized was Theodore S. Peck camp, No. 1, of Brandon, Feb.

Proctor, son of Senator Proctor, was chosen colonel. The second encampment was held at Rutland June 27, 18S4, with delegates present from 10 camps. The camps were reported in a prosperous and 15 camps had been mustered during the year. Among some of the principal members of that time present were: E. T.

The fourth encampment was held at Brattleboro Jnne 1, 1836. with delegates from nine camps. During CoL Jenne's administration seven new camps had been organized and the division was then in a very prosperous condition. Many beneficial changes had been brought about and that year the Vermont department, G. A.

was the first to give this organization endorsement and official recognition. Com mander Li. ureenleal spoke very cor dially of it in his annual address. This resolution was adopted at that encampment: llmirtd. That our National delegates be anil hereby are requested to cast their votes and use their influence toward securing be "Sons'1 that full endorsement and recognition which they merit.

E. Fox of Burlington in a good healthy condition. At this encampment several resolutions for the benefit of the order were passed, directing the "delegates to bring the matter np before the commander-in-chief. The records of the division, with those of its encampment, were in very poor condition. CoL Fox commenced to secure and put in proper order everything interest that had been done by his predecessors, but did not have time to complete the work.

He mustered nine camps and turned over to his successor over 600 members at the sixth annual encampment held at Montpelier May 23, 1888. At this encampment a division cap mark, the white ureek cross that of the "Old Vermont brigade" was adopted and resolution commending and endorsing the Ladies' Aid societies were passed. Fred L.
