REFUSES, TO YIELD Belgian Government Defies the Socialists, WILL NOT CONSENT TO REVISION Liberal Manifesto Demands Dissolu tion and an Appeal to the Judg ment of the Elec torate. ! , BRUSSELS, April J5 The government has firmly declined to yield on the ques tion of revision, and unless King Leopold should override the Ministry, there seems to be nothing' to prevent the development of a serious situation. In the Chamber of Deputies this after noon, M. Neujean presented a manifesto on behalf of the Liberal members of the Left, demanding dissolution In order to enable the country to pronounce judgment on the revision question. This manifesto pointed out that the time Is crlclcal and the government should consent to a loyal and constitutional settlement, and it could not be construed as a surrender to popu lar disorder. To this challenge, the Pre mier, 11. Dc Smeldenayer, replied briefly by declaring that the right of dissolution rested -vrtth the King. He added that he felt It his duty to warn Parliament against the rumors of government concessions. M. Jansen, the Liberal leader, retorted that the chamber could, bs' a motion, call upon the King to change the Ministry. He said there was no sign of conciliation in the Premier's reply to M. Neujean, and that responsibility for the consequences would rest on the government. At this point M. Woest, a Catholic Deputy, who, although not a Minister ialist, is a powerful adherent of the government, jumped up and exclaimed: "There is no civil war, but only evilly disposed men. You demand our resigna tion, but you shall not have it." The president then declared the Incident closed and the House rose. Tomorrow the Socialist membersof the Chamber will present their demand for universal suffrage. This will inevitably be defeated, and it is feared that this defeat will lead to troublo, particularly In the provinces. No noteworthy incident occurred today In the streets of the city. The authorities have taken extraordinary measures to avert disorders, and the whole quarter comprising the Chamber of Deputies, the Palace and the Ministry, is kept In complete Isolation from the rest of the city by cordons of the city guard. A torrential storm, which began at 8 o'clock this evening, has cleared the streets. The Socialists are pleased with the Liberal manifesto presented in the Cham ber this afternoon, as it supports their demands. The strlks in Brussels and Its environs Is of a minor character, but In the industrial districts It is today more formidable than ever. The appeal of the Socialist leaders for a. demonstration at the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow has created some un easiness. A number of shopkeepers have barricaded their windows. It is rumored tonight that the cabdrlvers and tramwaymen will strlks. In consequence of the disorders, the pupils of several communal schools have been dismissed and the premises utilized ae barracks for the troops. All the fac tories and mines at Morlanwelz, Valare and Mabllle have been closed. Socialist disturbances occurred last night at Namur. A mob stoned the police, who charged with drawn swords. Subse quently a force of gendarmes scattered the rioters. The strike Is steadily extending in both this city and Its suburbs, especially at Molenbek, where a number of large fac tories have stopped work. The military and police have taken more stringent measures to preserve order. The Burgomaster has refused the So cialists' request to be allowed to follow their own devices In burying the Social ists killed during Saturday's riots. Orders have been Issued for the procession to be held at 6 o'clock In the morning, without bands or funeral emblems. Otherwise the interment must be carried out at night. It Is estimated that the strikers in the 'Charlerol district now number 50,000. There are frequent parades there, but the town Is generally peaceful. In accordance with the directions of the strike leaders. At La Louvre 25,000 men are on strike. A soldier who raised seditious cries at Houdeng-Almeries has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Dispatches from Ghent, Liege and else where In the provinces show that the strike Is extending. The workmen thus far have been peaceable. At Horstal, 1500 employes of the National arms factory 'walked out. All the approaches to the Parliament buildings here are occupied by civic guardsr- From Henalx, In Flanders, some dyna mite outrages have been reported and an attempt was made to set Are to a chateau belonging to 1L Malandor, an ex-Deputy. But nowhere was any serious damage done. Several arrests have been made In Brussels and In the provinces as a re eult of collisions with the police. The executive department of the Inter national Socialist Bureau has issued a manifesto appealing to workers in all countries to support them in their strug gle against reaction. They declare a gen eral strike to be the only legal weapon left to them; they declare that 100,000 men are already out and that this number will be doubled tomorrow as a protest against the attempt bf the government to terrorize the workers. SOUTH CHINA REBELLION. All Efforts by" the Government to Suppress It Are Unavailing. VICTORIA, B. a, April 15. The situa tion in South China, where the rebellion Is assuming large proportions, is most ee rrous. The Japan Times says that the telegrams from Kwang SI show that a disturbance resembling the Boxer out break of two years ago is now going on there, and the Japanese paper alleges that the trouble Is being fomented by the French; that it may give Russia and that country the pretext for putting in prac tice the joint announcement made by them when their recent treaty was announced, and serious complications may be looked for In consequence. The Chinese Govern ment Is using every effort to put down the rebellion, but the efforts have been unavailing, and many of the trained sol diers sent against the rebels have desert ed to them. According to a story from another source, the rebellion was . fomented through the Governor of Kwang SI, who was won over to the French cause by secret envoys from French China. This story is borne out In a dispatch to the Tokio Asahl from Pekin that the Chinese Government has been advised by the Gov ernor of the spread of the rebellion and demanding the Issuance of an order to the Viceroy of Liang Kwang Province to dispatch troops against the rebels. The Governor has also asked tho Pekin Gov ernment to relieve him from office, ac knowledging that he was responsible for the outbreak of the rebellion. The Pekin authorities have, without accepting the resignation, ordered him to endeavor to crush the Insurrection. Meanwhile, orders have been sent to Tao Mah, Viceroy of Liang Kwang, to dispatch troops to his borders to stop the spread of the re bellion and to reinforce the government f soldiers at Kwang SI. A battlo occurred between the rebel and the government forces under General Ma Yuh Kwan. March 18, and, although the Imperial officer reports that his forces killed about 1000 rebels, with the loss of 50 of his own men, the rebels continue to advance. The battle took place in a vallo. and the Imperial troops surprised the rebels, who advanced right up to the masked batteries of the government forces, which opened fire on them at close quarters. The first discharge of tho gov ernment batteries caused a heavy loss of life, but the rebels were not disheartened, for they charged the batteries and cap tured and destroyed the field guns of the government forces. The Imperial troops fled, leaving SO dead, after five hours of hard fighting at close quarters. The rebels have robbed In a wholesale manner along their lino of march, de spoiling the people, rich and poor. They have killed a number of villagers, and killed the Mandarins In the several towns which endeavored to resist them. The commander of the French Eastern squad ron offered to dispatch 500 bluejackets to the assistance of the Chinese Government troops, but the Viceroy of Kwang Si de clined any assistance from the French commander. In Honan the tax riots have culminated in another insurrection In the north, the great trouble being In the districts of Nang Yang and Tung Po. After a short siege the church at Pi Yang was captured and burned, IS converts being thrown on the flames and burned to death. Two others escaped. The insurrection in Ho nan Is due to the disaffection arising from the burden of the indemnity In conse quence of the late Boxer outbreak. Big: Finns of the Rebels. HONG KONG, April 15. A report has reached here that the rebels In Kwang SI Province Intend to seize three provinces in Southern China, namely, Yunan, Kwang 51 and Kwang Tung, and establish an In dependent government. The rebels an nounce, however, that they will endeavor not to interfere with foreign trade, and that they will not attack Canton until the provinces mentioned have been thor oughly reduced. By this course of action, they hope to avoid collision with troops of foreign powers. Lonbet Accepts Invitation. PARIS, April 15. At a Cabinet meet ing held at the Elysee Palace today the Foreign Minister, M. Delcanse, "communi cated to his colleagues the text of the let ter from President Roosevelt Inviting President Loubot In tho most cordial terms to send representatives to attend the inauguration of the Rochambeau monument at Washington, May 24. He said the French Ambassador at Washing ton, Jules Carabon, had been instructed to express to President Roosevelt the warm thanks of President Loubet and the Government of France, and to Inform the President that a mission consisting of a General and Admiral and other officers will be sent to the United States on board French warships. Illness of Queen WUhelmlna. THE HAGUE, April 15. The Indispo sition of Queen Wllheimlna, which, it was said yesterday, was due to a simple cold, is developing completions which caused the Queen's mother to start today to visit her daughter at Castle Loo.

England Declines to Put Cape Reb els on Same Footing: as Bnrghers or Withdraw Proclamation. LONDON, April 16. The Dally Mall, in its issue this morning, says It under stands a serious hitch has occurred In the peace negotiations in South Africa. The Cabinet has decided to refuse a strongly worded request from the Boer leaders at Pretoria for an armistice pend ing the negotiations.

The English expert, Fred Hansel, will commence Judging at the bench uhow today. There was much activity among the dog enthusiast last night In getting ready for the bljr event, which begins today. Mr. Blight, of San Francisco, Mr. Bradshaw, of San Francisco, and Mr. Turner, of Victoria, .arrived last night with fln strlnts of dogs. Dogs will be received as early as 8 o'clock in the morn ing, and the managers desire that they will all be brought In early. The Interest and enthusiasm shown by members of the Portland Kennel Club has certainly been yielding results. Dr. G. "V. Clayton, of the San Francisco Kennel Club, in speaking of the outlook last nght, said: "I am highly pleaded with everything. This hall Is far ahead of the one in Seattle or Victoria, and the show will be more complete in every detail. I am told there are nearly 000 entries. Such a showing as that would do credit to many of the Eastern cities." The following are the entries in the various classes: Mastiff. 1; St. Bernards, 8; Great Danes, 4; Newfoundlands, 1; greyhounds, 5; Chesapeake Bay, 3; point ers, 75; English setters. 40; cocker spaniels. 38; fox terriers, 40; collies, 21; bulldogs. 0; bull terriers, 0; Boston terriers, 5; dachshunds, 0; Irish terriers, 7; black and tan terriers. 1; Scotch terriers, 2; Bedllngton terrlers."2; Pomeranians, 4; Yorkshire terriers, 4; Japanese spaniels, 3; miscellaneous, 10. same footing as the burghers with re spect to amnesty and Is not Inclined to withdraw the banishment proclamation. These features are regarded by the Boers as two cardinal principles in the Irreduc ible minimum of terms which Lord MI1 ner went to Pretoria to ascertain and In return for which the Boers agree to the loss of Independence and a general sur render. Their other demands, continues the Daily Mail, are that Great Britain shall rebuild and restock the farms, take over the legal claims and liabilities of the two republics and grant a representa tive government within a shorter period than is now contemplated. The government leader, A. J. Balfour, replying to a question In the House of Commons, announced that the Ministers had no information to Impart on the sub ject of the negotiations, nor under the circumstances could any information be Imparted at the present stage. The gov ernment, Mr. Balfour added, would Im mediately inform Parliament of the fact when they had any more news to com municate. WAR LOAN ADOPTED. Hicks Beach Discusses the Finan cial Prospects of South Africa. LONDON, April 15. During the course of the debate in the House of Commons today on the resolution authorizing a loan of 32,000,000, as proposed yesterday when the budget was presented, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Mich ael Hicks-Beach, said the grant for re lief of the West Indies, pending the operation of the provisions of the Brus sels sugar conference, would probably not exceed 250,000, but assistance was necessary If the sugar producers were to be saved from absolute ruin. Discussing the financial prospects of South Africa, the Chancellor said both the Transvaal and Orange River colon ies would be able to share In the cost of the war. He believed that within a few years, certain sources of revenue, representing a capital of the value of 30,000,000, would be set aside for this purpose. Regarding the reports of difficulties be tween himself and the Colonial Secre- tary. Joseph Chamberlain, the Chancellor admitted they had a little difference of opinion. v The resolution providing for the loan of 32,000.000 was adopted by 229 to 103 votes. The loan Is to be raised by an Issue of 31 per cent consols. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. In answer to a question, said a rebate would not be al lowed on forward grain contracts, as was allowed In the case of coal contracts last year. The Chancellor added that he could not say. on the spur of the mo ment, whether the term "grain" Included haricot beans, peas, etc., but he was In clined to think they were included In that term. Sir William Vernon Harcourt (Liberal) characterized Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's expectation of Transvaal revenue as "golden , dreams" useful only for float ing fresh mining companies. The speaker declared the Government lacked the moral courage to put the war tax, on the present generation, who were re sponsible for the war, and purposed to lay the burden on posterity. Loan Partly Subscribed. LONDON, April 16. The Standard an nounces. In a financial article, that only 16.000,000 of the loan of 32.000.000 will be Issued publicly, the remaining half of the loan having already been placed privately. The Standard believes that 5.000.000 of the latter half of the loan has been taken by leading financial houses In New York. The Issue will be made Immediately, probably at 93&, and the installments will spread over a con siderable period. The Dally Chronicle says it was rum ored that 'a syndicate headed by J. Pler pont Morgan had secured a substantial slice of the loan at a price below 93. The Times, in its financial article, con firms the statement that the new loan Is to be raised by an Issue of consols and says they will be issued immediately at 9 Effect of Budget on Markets. LONDON, April 15. The budget pro posals presented ' to the House of Com mons yesterday were received fairly well on the Stock Exchange today, where the various departments developed no partic ular feature, with the exception of a drop In consols on selling preparatory to the i6sue of tho new loan. Operators on the exchange continued to be hopeful as to the outlet of the peace conference at Pretoria. The Northwestern Association of Millers gfofegj&& i. & at a numerously attended meeting, held in the Liverpool Corn Exchange today, decided to advance the price of flour by a shilling a sack, and to add the new duty of 5d per hundredweight on all flour which should have been delivered before today. Following the example of the Liver pool millers, other miller associations throughout the country raised the price of flour a shilling a sack. The grain dealers of Devonshire advanced the price of grain a shilling per quarter. There was a heavy slump In sugar at Liverpool today. Prices fell 9d to Is early In the dnyf with the prospect of a further decline. In consequence of there being no alternative In the sugar duty. Speculators had heavily stocked them selves with sugar. In anticipation of a possible Increase In price. t Bnprsed by Hamilton. LONDON, April 15. The following dis patch, dated Pretoria, April 15. has been received at the War Office from Lord Kitchener: "Bruce Hamilton's columns arrived at the Standard line last night, having taken 145 Boers, including killed and wounded, during the movement from the MIddleburg line." Knklnx Case in Oklahoma. GUTHRIE, O. T., April 15. Governor Ferguson was called upon today to act in a reported kuklux case In Cleveland County, where a colored woman who was awarded a valuable claim by the Gov ernment over a white contestunt was the victim.

AnHt 1R Tal TToiu'Una TirPTlt aown to defeat berore JPerry yueenan at i kuv niuiuij luuigui, aikcr uuc ui me jj fi ttest fights ever pulled off In Seattle. The end came with startling suddenness. Both men were fighting fast and going strong In the 13th round, when. Just at the close, Ppttv rniisrht Dal n. terrific blow In the stomach. The old fighter bent nearly 1 aouDie, ana tne neu savea mm xrum kuiujj out In that round. Dal was plainly worried when he came' out of his corner for the 14th round, but went to certain defeat with gameness. Perry carried the fight right to Dal from the tap of the gong, and ripped a ter rific right to Hawkins' body, Dal swayed and saved himself from going to the floor only by spreading his legs. Queenan was after him like a tiger. He sent a long sweep to the Jaw, and followed with a lunge with the right to the same spot. Dal went to the floor with a crash. His head struck first, and he lay stretched on his back, with his eyes set and not a muscle moving. Dal drew up his right leg at the count of nine and his head rolled a little to one side, but he could not get up. He was counted out. It was a clean fight, and the best man won. Queenan rushed matters from the start and played for the body from tho first tap of the gong. Hawkins stalled him off with his clever left for five rounds, but In the sixth Queenan landed his first solid punch of the fight. It was a right drive over the heart. It made Dal wince, and the body was still red from the ef fects of It when he got the finishing stroke. Queenan kept up his body fight ing through the contest, and the right swings he landed slowly wore Dal down to defeat. Hawkins played a waiting game throughout the fight. The younger and stronger man had to carry the fight to the veteran, who contented himself with right crosses and left hooks. Perry's awkward style of fighting made him look wild beside Hawkins, but there was pow er behind his punches, and he was strong enough to go the route. Hawkins fought a better fight than when the men met be fore, for the reason that he was In bet ter condition, but Queenan made the pace so hot and kept coming, despite left hooks in the face, that the older man could not go the limit.
