The public are being admitted to view the body. , Two Sisters of Charity and two pupils of the Poly* % technic Institute guard the coffin. Lord Eosebery, Lord Salisbury, Sir W. V. Harcourt, and Mrßalfour paid eloquent tribute to President Carnot and the French Nation. The Premier termed Anarchists "Ish* inaelites." Referring to the long peace between England and France, Lord Rosebery said he thought that a little coolness and self-restraint in ~ language, with more recollection of what was due to others, on the part of the leaders of the states, would improve all foreign relations. He hoped President Carnot's death would abate the strenuousness of international complications. In the Houee of Lords the Premier said President was a pure and blameless patriot. Lord Salisbury said he believed the world had reached a period of political passion similar to that at the close ottht sixteenth century. The House of Lords and the House of Commons both voted addresses of sympathy. The funeral will take place on Sunday at the Pantheon. A period of official mourning will be observed in France for one month.
