BERLIV. July Z. Anarchy seems TO be
the question of the day and there l. no
indication that official circles place fsith
in the efficiency of international measures
for the suppression of anarchists. As for
the clamor for h revival of the aati-Social-
ist laws, the language of the semi-otiiciai
press shows clearly that il has not made
an impression on the government.
Prince Bsmgrck's organs have been the
noisiest advocates of the exceptional legls-
lation, but they are being reminded that
at the very time these laws were being ap-
piled with the greatest vgor, the most
diaboiical outrage ever conceive1 by anar-
chists was planned, and defeated by mere
accident. Had not one Of the conspirators
betrayed the plot, every living member OF
the HohenZollern family would have been
destroyed at the inauguration of the Ger
mania monument at Neiderwald.
IL is stated that Chancellor Won Caprivi
has reported to the emperor that so long
as every civilized government Is ready 10
cooperate Within its frontiers and within
the measure of its own laws for the detec-
ton and repression OF Anarchist crimes,
there can be no need of a written compact
to enforce the performance of duties which
are equally prescribed by the common In
uereSts OF society IN every naIlOn-
THE Won KOTZE AFFAIR.
There has been a marked revolution of
opinion in regard to the Won kotze affair
since .he latter's release by order Of the
emperor Emperor William, to whom the
details of the case were submitted, Is said
TO have ordered Won hoIZe's release,
on the ground that there was
no similarity between his handwriting and
that of the letters and postal cards which
caused so much annoyance among the
aristocratic families of this city. Berlin
erS however, insist that this should nave
been discovered before the arrest of Won
Kotze, who is now on his estate with his
wife and daughter.
The statement is made public that the
wife of the royal chamberlain, Won kotze,
has received an anonymous letter Offering
her 10, 600 marks to reveal the name OF the
author of the slanderOus epistles which
her husband was accused of writing. The
offer has been accepted and an appoint
ment made.
SENSATIONAL REPORTS.
A sensation has been caused by the fact
that the Noaerweris the leading Socialist
organ, has published another confidential
circular which the editor of ttat paper
says he found on his table. The circular
was issued by the administration of the
Dierder bariu district and called upon the
BurgOmaSters 10 furnish the government
with the names of all conscripts known to
sympathiZe with Socialism and Anarchy.
The government will institute an inquiry
into the leakage of official documents
which is becoming a scandal.
IL was falsely rumored here yesterday
that the celebrated actor Ludwig had COM
united suicide. The supposed cause was
the arrest of his son, who was playing his
first engagement at Cologne, and who
stole large amounr of jewelry. There is
no motive for the crime, for young Lud
wig is well of, He admits the theft but
says he does not recOllect committing 1t
