Perrin. Sept 1.-THE assassination of
+be Empress of Austria at Geneva, Swift
erland. on Saturday last by an Italian
anarchist, has led to a violent cutlery in
some of the reactionary organs for OPP
Dressive measures against anarchists. In
deed. some of them went TO extremes, adj
vocating measures against socialists and
their "allied political parties"
Statements have appeared in several OF
the newspapers to the effect that the Ger
man government intended to take the
Initiative in proposing International ac-
ton.
Official circles, however, deny any such
Intention. but they declare that any pro-
posaIs on the subject will be well re-
ceived by the German government, which
will do all possible to cooperate with
united action. In spite of this there is
no change of any sweeping, repressive
legislation being adopted in the Reichstag,
as the Center party, without which no
such measures could pass says through
its leading organ, the Cologne VoIks lei
tung: 1.-THE murder of President Carnot
gave birth TO the UmstuIz bill of 1894 We
may, therefore. expect that Luccheni (the
assassin of the Empress of Austria) will
cause second edition of the bill to be
introduced. But if so, it will suffer the
same fate-defeat Even the least inform
ed persons are aware that socialists and
anarchists are not identical"
The liberal newspapers all denounce the
idea or repressive legislation, but there
is a strong current in court and govern
ment circles in favor OF such measures,
and a dispatch sent to Emperor William
by the spokesman of the leading indus
trial association of the Rhine and West
forts to "repress the enemies of the state
and ethical ORDER as significant especially
so soon after his majesty had personally,
in a speech, pronounced himself-ip favor
of such repression.
Diplomatic circles will not be surprised
If Russia and Austria set on foot a pro-
posal for International action against anar-
chists, but they consider it extremely
doubtful whether Great Britain, the United
States and Switzerland will cooperate.
The Deutsche Zeitung suggests that all
the European governments agree to de-
port confessed anarchists to a fair-away
island and keep them there until they die.
1t is authOritatively denied that Ger
many and the United States are upon the
point of concluding a reciprocity treaty
similar to the Franco-American treaty. 1t
is added that the tariff negotiations have
not even reached the preliminary stage OF
an agreement respecting the points Ger
many urges regarding the sugar question.
The approaching visit of Emperor Will
liam to Turkey is now arousing consider
able interest. The Sultan is making ex-
traordinary efforts to please the Emperor
during the latters stay at Constantinople.
The palace intended for his reception is
being fitted up with lavish luxury. The
Emperor william win stay about twelve
days at Constantinople. The Turkish
troops, 1t is asserted. are somewhat dis
satisfied 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 Jerusalem is especially active
In drilling, in order to impress the En-
peror though many of them are barefoot
ed and wear nondescript uniforms, while
the officers are little better clad AN of
these soldiers, however, are to receive new
uniforms for the festivities organized in
honor of the visit of Emperor William to
the Holy Land
There have been many destructive storms
recently in various parts of Germany.
Enormous hailstones have devastated the
district around Egingon, Wurtemberg.
