PARIS special: A special cabinet
council, presided owe by Premier Du-
puy, was held. There was Q complete
discussion Of the snti-anarchist meas.
ures decided upon by the council OF
ministers after N. CARROTS murder.
These measures will be introduced In
the Chamber and the Government wili
insist upon their being adopted before
the close Of the session. They provide
for the removal OF the correctional
tribunals for trial of offenders who
hitherto have been sent to the assizes
for trial before Jury, and among the
ofenses covered by the measures are
Indictment through the press to out
rage or crime, speeches advocating
theft, murder, robbery, in~cendiarisms,
explosions, crimes against the state
and the defense of such crimes. The
publication OF reports OF anarchist
trials Is forbidden under heavy penal
ties. The eason for dispensing with
jury trials In cases Of persons charged
with the above offences is that juries
have always hesitated to convict be-
cause the assizes judges are empower
ed to infict the heaviest punishment.
ROME special: In the Chamber OF
Deputies Cavalotti questioned the
Government regarding the erasure OF
the m OF 5000 electors from the

were favored. One Of the Ministers
replied that the revision of the regis
ter had been impartial and that the
persons whose names had been
erased had been challenged and had
failed to defend themselves. Aprile,
who is the rector of the University Of
Catania, said he belonged to the Re-
vision Committee and could testify to
the impartiality with which its work
was done. The names erased had in
cluded both parties. A wrangle en-
sued regarding the weeding-out pro-
cess, and the confusion became SO
great that the President had to APP
peal for order.

torially on the great railroad strike in
