BERLIN, September 1.-THE assassina-
ton OF the Empress of Austria at Geneva,
Switzerland, on Saturday last by an
Italian Anarchist, has led 10 violent out
cry in some of the reactionary organs FOR
suppressive measures. Indeed, some go
to extremes, avocating measures against
Socialists and their "allied political par
ties" Statements have appeared in seve-
raj of the newspapers to the effect that
the German Government intended TO take
the initiative in proposing international
action. Official circles. however, deny any
such intention, but they declare that any
proposals 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 IL no chance OF
any sweeping, repressive legislation being
adopted in the Reichstag, as the Centre
party, without which no such measures
could pass, says, through its leading or
gan, the Cologne Volks Zeitung: ''The
murder OF President Carnot gave birth
to the Umsturz bill of 1894 We may.
therefore, expect that Luccheni dhe as
sassin 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-in-
formed persons are aware that Socialists
and Anarchists are not Identical"
STRONG CURRENT FOR REPRESSION
The Liberal newspapers all denounce
the idea of repressive legislation, hut
there is strong current in court and
government circles in favor Of such mea-
william by the spokesman Of the leading
industrial associations Of the Rhine and
Westphalia, welcoming in advance any
steps "to repress the enemies Of the State
and ethical order" is significant, especial
ly as IL was sent soon after his Majesty
had personally, in a speech pronounced
himself in favor Of such repression.
Diplomatic circles will not be surprised
IL Russia and Austria set on foot pro-
posal for international action against
Anarchists, but they consider it extreme
IN doubtful whether Great Britain, the
United States. and Switzerland would CO.
operate.
The Deutsche Zeitung suggests that all
the European governments agree to de-
mort confessed Anarchists to a far-away
island. and keep them there until they
die.
NO RECIPROCITY YET.
II is authoritatively denied that Ger
many and the United States are upon the
point of concluding a reciprocity treaty.
II Is added that The tariff negotiations
have not even reached the preliminary
stage Of an agreement respecting the
points Germany urges regarding the sugar
question. ,,,
The approaching visit of Emperor Will
