RERIIN. Sept. 1.-THE aSsasslna-
ton of the Empress of Austria, at
Geneva. Switzerland, on Saturday last,
nv an Italian anarchist, has led to a
violent outcry in some of the reaction
ary ORGANS for repressive measures
against anarchists. Indeed some OF
them went to extremes advocating
measures against socialists and thelr
allied political parties.
Statements have appeared in several
OF the newspapers to the effect that
the German government intended TO
take the initiative in proposing inter
national action Official circles, now
ever, deny any such Intention, but they
declare that any proposals on the SUP
iect will be Well received by the Ger
man government which Will DO all pos
sible to cooperate with united acton.
In spite of this there is no chance or
-
ing adopted in the reichstag, as the
Center party, without which no such
measures could pass, says, through It's
leading organ, the Cologne Nolkszel-
tung:
The murder of President Carnot
gave birth to the Umsters bill OF 1884.
We may therefore expect that Lu-
chenis the assassin of the empress)
crime will cause a similar bill to be
introduced but if so it Will suffer the
same fate-defeat. Even the least in
formed persons are aware that social
lists and anarchists are not Identical
The VOraWerts remarks: Behind
the reichstag stands the German peo-
pie who understand that legislation in
the guise of fighting the anarchists will
only be aiding capitalists and severely
iEjure the rights and we'll being of the
labOring 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 to Emperor
William by the spokesman Of the lead
ing associations of the Rhine and
Westphalia welcoming in advance any
steps Ito repreSS the enemies of the
state and ethical order is significant
especially as it was sent SO soon after
his majesty had personally, in speech,
pronounced
repression. Diplomatic circles viii not
be surprised if Russia and Austria set
on foot a proposal for international
action against anarchists but they
consider it extremely doubtful whether
Great Britain, the United States and
Switzerland will cooperate.
The Deutsche Zeitung says all the
European governments should agree
to depOrt confessed anarchists to a
far-away island and keep them there
till they die.
GERMANY AND AMERICA.
1t is authoritatively denied that the
United States and Germany are upon
the part of concluding a reciprocity
treaty similar to that concluded be-
tween France and the United States.
1t is stated that no agreement has been
reached as to duties on any of the
articles. The sugar interest declares
that the United States must remove
Its countervaling duties against sugar
bounty paying countries before any
agreement can be reached
The approaching visit of Emperor
William to Turkey is now arousing
considerable interest. The sultan is
making extraordinary efforts to please
