CRUSH INARCHISTS.
An International Conference
Opened in Rome.
———
EUROPE REPRESENTED.
It is Proposed to Organize n Police Service
of All Nations Which Would Deal Es-
pecially With the Class of ¥en From
Whom Spring the Assassins of Eminent
Fersons.
Rome, (By cable.) ~The anpti-anarchist
conference was opened Thursday afternoon
in the Corsini Palace by Vice-Admiral Cane-
varo, minister of foreign affairs. All the
European nations were represented.
in an address of welcome to the delagates
on behalf of King Humbert Admiral Cane-
varo sald he recognized the difficulties be-
fore the conference, but that the general
recognition of the necessity for common ae-
tion against the anarchists presaged happy
issue,
Admiral Canevaro was elected president.
It is expected that the conference will be
prolonged until Christmas,
The antl-anarchist conference was invit-
ed by Italy because most of the anarchists
whose crimes have lately startled Europe
bave been Italians. The immediate cause
of the gathering being summoned was the
assassination of Empress Elizabeth of Aus-
tria by Luigi Luccheni at Geneva, Switzer-
land, Beptember 10 last, Luecchen| was re-
cently sentenced to imprisonment for life,
the maximum penalty allowed by law at
Geneva.
Another comparatively recent crime of
the same kind which startled the world was
the killing of Senor Canovas del Castillo,
premier of Spain, by Michele Auglolilio at
the Santa Agueda baths, Spain, August 5,
1897. The formation of a plot by auarchists
at Alexandria, Egypt, severnl weeks ago to
kill Emperor William while he was on his
way to Palestine has been cited as an addi-
tional instance showing the need of the cos-
ference. It is not known who instigated the
attempt to wreck the Czar's tralp, but there
is a belief that anarchists may have been at
the bottom of It, too.
In calling the conference Italy summitted
the following proposals:
*“1. Anarchists should be considered as
delinquents at common law and not politi-
cal criminals; crimes committed by them
should be judged according to common
law,
**2. Extradition, which is at present re-
fused because anarchists are considered
political refugees, should be established,
“3. Ways and means should be organized
by the press,
“4, The organization of an international
police service against anarchists should
be formed by the police of the European
countries.”
