Berlin, Sept. 17.-(CopyriGht, $685. by the
Associated Press.)-T assassiI alton of
the empress of Austria at Geneva, swift
erland, on Saturday last by an Italian
anarchist, has led to violent outcry in
some of the reactionary organs for re-
pressive measures against anarchists. In
deed, some of them went TO extremes, adj
Vocating measures against socialists and
| their alleged political parties. State
mentS have appeared in several of the
newspapers to the effect that the German
government intended to take the initiative
! in proposing international action. Off
cial circles, however, deny any such in
tention, but they declare that proposals
on the subject will be we'll received by
the German government. In spite of this,
| there is no chance of any sweeping, re-
pressive legislation Deing adopted in the
reichstaS, as the Center party, without
which no such measures could pass. says,
through its leading organ, the Cologne
VolkS Zeitung:
THE murder of President Carnot gave
birth to the Umsturz bill of 1894. We
may. therefore. expect that Luoucheni
Ghe assassin of the empress of Austria)
will cause a second edition of the bill to
the same fate-defeat. Even the least in
formed persons are aware that socialists
and anarchists are not Identical"
The VorwaertS remarks: Behind the
reichStag stands the German people. who
understand that legislation in the guiSe of
fighting the Umsturz will only be by cap

well-being of the laboring Masses
The liberal newspapers all denoGnce the
idea of repreSSfve legislation, but there
is strong current in court and govern
ment circles in favor of such measures
and an address to Emperor William b. the
spokesman of the leading Industrial as
sociations of the Rhine and Westphaiia,
welcoming in advance any steps taken
to repress the enemies of the state and

Diplomatic circles win not be surprised
II Russia and Austria set on foot pro-
posal for international action against an
archists. but they consider it extremely
doubtful whether Great Britain, the
United States or Switzerland will CO.
operate.
The Deutsche Zeitung suggests that all
the 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 Will

The preparations at Jerusalem for the
