Washington, Dec. 6. - Senator Nc
Conas of Maryland made an extended
and carefully prepared speech in the
senate yesterday with anarchy as his
theme. and was followed by some brief
remarks by Mr.. Hoar Of Massachu-
sets on the difficulties in the way OF
dealing with anarchist assassins Mr.
McComas' remarks showed careful ex-
amina ton of the legal authorities He
maintained that congress had fun DOW
e. under the constitution to enact q
law Furnishing with death any person
killing president or assaulting ,he
president with intent to kill, or aiding.
melting or procuring such an act. He
favored rigid provisions in the if1rni-
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 propagateds within recent years.
Senator Hoar's remarks were interest
Ing, coming from the venerable chair
RAN of the judiciary committee, which
will have much to do with the framing
of any legislation on this subject He
said that the difficulty was that assas-
sins OF kings and rulers always gforied
in their crimes and were in no wise de-
TERED by the fear of punishment For
this reason he thought it was almost
useless to multiply punishments. The
most effective remedy he suggested
would be to have the civilized nations
of the world agree upon some desoaate
spot on the earth's surface, TO which
all anarchists who uphold assass1na-.
ton or the overthrow Of government
should be transported. In such a COM
munity the anarchist could carry out
his theories Of living without a gov
eminent and the world would be rid OF
his presence.
The senate passed a bill extending
the life Of the Industrial commission
until Feb. Is. next. to complete the
work 1t now has In hand. The comnnN-
tee which will consider an appropriate
tribute to the late president Mckinley
was announced. The senate adjourned
until next Monday.
