 Measures.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-Senatol McComas (Sid.j made an extended ane carefully prepared speech in the sen ate yesterday, with anarchy for his theme, and was followed by some briei remarks by Mr. Hoar (Mass.l on the difficulties in the way of dealing witt anarchist assassins. MT. McComas' re marks showed careful examination oi the legal authorities. He maintaineo that congress had full power under ths constitution to enact q federal law punishing with death any person kill ing president or assaulting the presi dent with intent to kill or aiding, in citing or procuring such an act. He favored rigid provisions in the immi grafton laws for the deportation of alien anarchists. Much of the speech WAS devoted to an explanation of the dangerous doctrines of anarchy and the extent to which these doctrines had been propagated within recent years.
 Senator Hoar's remarks were inter esting as coming from the venerable chairman of the judiciary committee which will have much to do with the framing of any legislation on this sub ject. He said the difficulty was that assassins of kings and rulers alway gloried in their crimes and were in ne wise deterred by the fear of punish ment. For this reason he thought it was almost useless to multiply punish. ments. The most effective remedy, he l. {Iarx 1ix ilized nations of the world agree upon some desoiate spot on the earth's sur face to which all anarchists who up held assassination or the overthrow ot government should be transported. IL such q community the anarchist could carry out his theories of living with. out government. and the world would be rid of his presence.
