BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE assassination
Of the Empress of Austria at Geneva,
Switzerland, on Saturday last by an
Italian anarchist, has led to violent
outcry in some of the reactionary ar
gans for repressive measures against
anarchists. Indeed, some of them went
to extremes, advocating measures
against socialists and their "allied po-
utical parties" Statements have ap-
peared in several of the newspapers to
the effect that the German Government
intended to take the initiative in pro-
posing international action. Official cir
cles, however, deny any such intention,
but they declare that proposals on the
subject will be we'll received by the Ger
man Government, which will do all pos
sible to cooperate with united action.
In spite of this, there is no chance Of
any sweeping repressive legislation be-
ing adopted in the Reichstag, as the
Center party, without which no such
measure could pass, says through its
leading organ, the Cologne Volks Zei
tung:
THE murder of President Carnot
gave birth to the Umsturz bill of 1894.
We may, therefore, expect that Lou
cheni, the assassin of the Empress Of
Austria, will cause second edition of
the bill to be introduced. But, If so. 1T
will suffer the same fate-defeat. Even
the least informed persons are aware
that socialists and anarchists are not
Identical"
The VorWaertz remarks Behind
. the Reichstag stands the German peo-
pie, who understand that legislation in
the guise of fighting the Umsturz Will
only be by capitalists and severely in
jure the rights of well-be1ng or the Ia
boring masses.
The Liberal newspapers all denounce
the idea of repressive legislation, but
there is a strong current in court and
Government circles in favor OF such
measures, and a dispatch sent to En-
peror William by the spokesman of the
leading industrial association of the
Rhine and Westphalia, welcoming in
advance any steps taken to repress the
enemies of the state and ethical or
der, is significant, especially as 1t was
sent soon after his Majesty had per-
sonally, in a speech, pronounced himself
in favor of such repression.
Diplomatic circles will not be sur
prised if Russia and Austria set on
foot a proposal for international action
<
extremely doubtful whether Great Brit,
ain, the United States or Switzerland
will cooperate.
The Deutsche Zeitung suggests that
all European governments agree to de-
port confessed anarchists to a far away
island and keep them there until they
die
The approaching visit of Emperor
William to Turkey is now arousing con-
siderable interest The Sultan is max
ing extraordinary efforts to please the
Emperor during the latter's stay at
Constantinople. The palace intended
for his reception is being fitted up with
lavish luxury. The decorations alone
will cost 100000 marks. Emperor
William will stay about twelve days at
Constantinople. The Turkish troops, 1t
is asserted, are somewhat dissatisfied
on the subject, as their arrears of pay
have been devoted to the expense Of
Emperor Williams visit.
The preparations at Jerusalem for the
visit of Emperor William are in full
swing. Streets are being cut through
the city and the regular mountains of
rubbish in the Bazaar quarter have
been removed The garrison Of Jerusa-
lem has beeen especially active In drill
ing in order to impress the Emperor
though many of them are bare-footed
and wear no uniforms, while others are
little better clad. All of these soldiers
however. are to receive new uniforms
for the festivities organized In honor of
the visit of Emperor William to the
HOLY and
