The funeral of the Anarchist Bourdin took place to-day. The hearse was wrecked, and the body would have been torn to pieces had it not been for the efforts of the police. In spite of the mandate of the authorities, the friends of the Anarchist Bourdin attempted to make a demonstration on the occasion of his funeral to-day. This was resented by a great crowd, which assembled in the cemetery and hooted, hustled, and spat on the mourners. The police at great hazard to themselves, protected the cortege from many ugly rushes of the mob, while the mounted police with great difficulty stemmed the crowds of people who endeavoured to crowd round the grave. The funeral procession was met with cries of "Down with Anarchy," " Keep in your own country," and " No bomb,business in England." The hearse was pelted with stones, mud, and garbage, especially by the women of the infuriated mob. Subsequently a band of students smashed the windows and doors of the Autonomic Club. At the cemetery the police seized a large number of Anarchist flags and banners. Vienna, Jan. 23. Great precautions are being taken to secure the Austrian Chamber against attempts by Anarchists.
