The Tekke- Turco mans, without exception, It is said, have submitted to Russia. When the news of the assassination was received in Berlin it was immediately feared that the murder might increase the severity of the socialist law here, and this request has already become noticeable, as a number of suspected persons have been expelled rom the city and suburbs. According to she official report lately presented to parliament, it seems that the anarchy element, though unseen, is more vital and vigorous after a lapse of two years than when that socialist law was passed. The report states that efforts have been made, which are partially successful, to distribute socialist organs among the population and even among the troops.

The real criminfils, according to the correspondent, ‘‘were inside one of the mansions bordering on Rue Milliane. but the Russian officials found it convenient to let it be supported that the shells were thrown by persons in the crowd.
