It must have been that Austrian Archduke.

This is the first sentence after an asterisked break from the last scene. Without further context, I'm guessing the "it" refers to Lew's suddenly sympathetic attitude toward the workers and anarchists. After spending so much time up close to a rich and powerful man who treats people in the world as his play things and hunting prey, Lew has begun to see the world differently. The rich aren't making the world a better place, no matter how many jobs they create or how little they give to charity while making as large a public spectacle as they can about their philanthropy. They don't bring order or law or justice. They bring chaos and cause poverty and abuse anybody they can for whatever whim comes over them.
It's also possible the "it" refers to something else which the next sentence will explain!
