AVIUi the first of tlieso, ns adopted by

should bo brought about, and repre

willing to make for Uie sake of Imr-

A VALUABLE ltKKOUM.
Tlio Democratic convention yosterdny

the party In the future Hint wo believe
will bo fruitful of valuable results. Ac
cording to thin uow law, the primaries
and mass meeting* of Hie parly for the
selection of delegates to future oonven
t'.ons will bo held in all tho enmities ou
the same day. Tho. cltcct of this wilt
be to shorten campaigns which have
heretofore tuxed the strength of email
dales and worried tho people, nnd to
put at rest the vague susplelou which
bns heretofore cxisUxl that nominations
Were gained by slurp political manage
ment rather Umu through the favor of
tlio people. The people of each county
are left to divide for Uienuelvtxt the
manlier lo which they shall choose

The party Is tnilebteil to Mr. Dessau

here. Later on prices declined, owing
to local realizing and some selling on

Lyons, Aug. 2.—The trial of Santo
Caeserio for Uio murder of President
Carnot began this morning. He is a
mlld-fuced, commonplace youth. His
complexion la fair and (here is a faint
suspicion of dojvA upon fils upper lip.
Altogether his appearanco is effemi
nate, and the remark of one of the
spectators that "he looks as though he
would not hurt a fly’.’ pretty accurately
describes him. %
The prisoner'had hardly taken his
scat when Judge Brenlllas told him to
stand up. As he obeyed tho order bo
bowed and smiled again, and It seemed
difficult to realize that such a mild-
mannered boy was the nssassln of the
chief magistrate of tho French repub
lic. After the opening formalities of
Uie trial, Including the appointment of
nu Interpreter, the prisoner was ques
tioned by tho judge. His Christian
name, ho said, was Santo Geronlm.o.
Hejvns born in November, 1873, aud
bis father was a ferryman. Coming to
questions of the prisoner’s responsibil
ity tho judge said:
“It Is an Important point whether
you are rcsponslbje or not”
Caescrlo replied, In a firm voice:
“Yes, sir, I am absolutely responsible.”
Later the Judge said: “Your mother
worshipped you nnd gavo you all tho
advantages she possibly could. She
sent you to school, where you never
won n prize.”
“Never once,” .answered Caescrlo,
laughing with genuino gayety. The
aplomb of the prisoner exalted expres
sions of surprise on all sides, noting
equal to It having ever been witnessed
here.
In reference to Ills having been sent
to school, he added: "It 1 had been a
butter scholar I should have been a
better man."
A few minutes later, when asked
about his choir boy days, when he rep
reseuted Jobn Uie Baptist in church
processions, he said: "I was a cJUIel
then and children, you know, unwit
tingly act stupidly."
Tlio judge then discussed Caeserio's
presence at the revolutionary lectures
of Signor Gort, a lawyer. In .Milan, In
spite of the expostulations of his fam
ily, whereupon Caescrlo exclaimed:
"Humanity is greater than family.”
Asked whether be did not act os a
cour.er between the Anarchists of
Franco nnd Italy after the Italian An
archist Journal, Amici do Popolo, had
been suppressed, Caescrlo answered:
"The police do their work; I do mine.
I have nothing more to say than thnt.'
Tho prisoner denied knowing a single
Anarchist, i
Judge BreulUnc—Coming to Lyons,
you stopped at Vienna and went lo nn
Anarchist barber’s?
Caenorlo-1 naturally went to a bar
ber’s: I could not get my hair cut at a
baker’s. (Laughter.)
The Judge—A deputation of Lyons
Anarchists vislted’you ns a personage
of Importance when you were 111 In
the hospital at Cette?
Caescrlo—iA friends from Lyons vis
ited me and lie lind some of fils friends
with 1dm, but they brought me nothlug.
Judge—What, brought you nothing?
Did not they bring you these? (Produc
ing photographs of Ravnchol, Pallas
anil tlio Chicago Anarchists.)
"No," replied Caescrlo.
“At any rate, they wero similar to
tlieso,” retorted tho judge.
"Now, you arc right,” admitted tho
prisoner.
Throughout the trial the prisoner de
fended himself against accusations of
connection with Anarchists with rare
skill, fighting the ground Inch by Inch.
There was % profound sensation lu the
rourt room when Assistant Registrar
Methulr removed the covering from a
dagger and handed It to the Judgsv The
weapon was still.stalneil with the blood
of Uie murdered president.
As the magistrate held K up a thrill
of horror ran through the assemblage.
“Is this the one you brought from
Cette?" asked the Judge.
"Yes." replied C.leserlo. unfllncningly,
as he nodded toward the bUH bloody
dagger.
Through the Interpreter Caroerlo
minutely detailed Ida Journey from
Cette to Lyons, the Jury following him
attentively as he narrated his peregri
nation* In Lyons unUI he arrived out
side the Credit Lyonais. Here the
prisoner, with brutal coolness, de
scribed Ills later movements aa fol
lows:
"When I siw Carnot’s carriage urtv-
lng I unsheathed ray dagger. I ran
forward and placed the dagger, turned
and withdrew, when I was struck
down. "While I used the weapon Car
not looked me straight in the eyes."
Judge—Did you not have some sen
sation of the enormity of your act when
you saw the eyes of your victim fixed
upon you? H.ts not remorseful memory
troubled you since?
Caeserio—No, I have had none what
ever, •
The brutal cynicism of the prisoner
caused a movement of repulsion Tn the
court room. Coming to the question of
premeditation.'Caeserio readily admit
ted Tim the Anarchist was the enemy
of all chiefs of state, and also that the
purchase of the dagger was a further
Indication of premeditation.
The Judge—How tong .had you medi
tated the crime? /- ’w
Impudencly—"Yod’U find Chat the
prosecution papers.;’
The Judge (hen read a number of
ihfiammatory statements attributed to
Caeserio. and said: “You declare that
If you return to Italy you would kill
both the king oml the pope?"
Cteserio—That Is impossible. The
pope and the king nre never together,
therefor* I could not kill both.
He also denied that the crime wa
the result of « plot in which (he ns
rosin was designated by lot. The
ludge asked Gaeaerio if In case he hod
hot killed the president in Lyons he
would have tried to do so elsewhere,
to Paris, for instance. The prisoner

answered that If he had not succeeded
he -would have tried to flndwork.
■Judge—Should you have followed and
tried to kill him elsewhere?"
Caeserio—Perhaps so; if an oppor
tunity occurred.
A number of witnesses testified «o the
details of the crime and the Identifica
tion of the prisoner. A young boot
maker, Domergue, who oaught Caeserio
as he was lleeing after striking the
fatal blow, related ihe circumstances.
Caeserio contradicted Domergue, say
ing: "You are not the first man who
seized me. It was some one else. You
are claiming glory that you did not
e Yni5dentaVly. Caeserio expressed re
gret that he had thrown his dagger
away, as had he retained it he would
have stabbed Domergue or any one
else who attempted ’to stop him. At
this Domergue, whose face had been
almost crimson/turned white. During
