VOTE NOT TO REVISE
Belgian Deputies Reject the
Socialist Proposal.
HAY GRANT PARTIAL REFORMS
Serloas Riot at Souvaln, Xcar Brus
sels, in Wliicli Five Persons
"Were Killed and Twelve
"Wounded.
BRUSSELS, April IS. The Chamber of
Representatives today, by 81 to W votes,
rejected the proposal to revise the Bel
gian constitution so as to provide for uni
versal suffrage.
The debate followed yesterday's lines.
Mr. Smeetz, Socialist, accused the gov
ernment of being anxious to loosen GO.OOD
soldiers against their, brethren. But they
would be unable to exterminate Socialism,
he added, and enough Socialists would re
main to continue the struggle. As the
government was not willing to counsel the
King to do his duty, nothing was left but
for the Socialists to address His Majesty
directly and plead for his intervention.
If he but said the word, peace would be
re-established.
M. Woefte. leader of the right party in
the Chamber, when summing up the de
bate for the government, pointed out that
a vote hostile to revision did not imply
absolute hostility to reform, if this was'
aiscused in peaceful times. "The gov
ernment supporters are prepared," said
M. Wocste, "to consider proposals for re
form ir. plural voting, although they could
not go as far as universal suffrage pure
and simple."
This speech is regarded as showing the
willingness of the government to grant
partial reform in the future.
Great excitement followed the vote in
the Chamber. The Socialists held a meet
ing in the Maison du Peup.e, at which
M. Vanderveld. the leader of the Social
ists in Belgium, urged his hearers to
"be calm and said he hoped King Leopold
would still intervene. His speech took
a conciliatory form. He Indicated the
dangers attending the insurrection of an
almost weaponless people against organ
ized forces of police and military, and
said a struggle by methods of violence
was quite hopeless. The people could
only adopt pacific means. The speaker
said he trusted the King would arbi
trate in the difficulty.
"If His Majesty," he continued, "does
this, we, while preserving our ideal, will,
for the present, lay aside all idea of
realizing it. The Belgian people should
kneel at the throne and say: 'We are
hungry, but we want justice.' "
. This speech was regarded as showing
that the Socialists accept defeat. The
meeting passed a resolution to continue
to strike and dispersed withou disor
der. The people of this city are generally
impatient with the agitation, which
greatly impedes trade and business.
In an Interview after the Socialist
meeting, M. "VanderveHe said:
"The defeat in the Chamber is a tri
umph for the country. What the Gov
ernment has arbitrarily refused today
will be realized by Belgian people to
morrow. This is a memorable day in
the history of Socialism. Never has
such an Impressive spectacle been offered
to the world. Three hundred thousand
men have gone on strike, not for an
Increase in, wages, or personal benefit,
but for the sake or their fjblltlcal con
victions. The Catholic party Ignores the
popular will and if the King be wise,
he will show that he is King of the
Belgian people. The days for street riots
are over. We rely bn moral force and
therein lies our strength."
It was rumored here late tonight that
King Leopold had decided to take the
initiative and dissolve Parliament.
A Serious Riot.
A serious riot has occurred at Louvain,
near Brussels. The Socialists held a
demonstration in front of the residence
of M. Scholia ert, president of the Chamber
of Deputies. The police, in attempting
to disperse them, were received with a
shower of stones. The civic guard then
fired on the mob. A similar riot occurred
in another part of Louvain and altogether
five persons were killed and 12 were
wounded. Some of the mob carried the
dead and wounded to the Maison des Pro
letalres. Another riot is reported to have
occurred at Bruges, in Flanders. Here the
police charged the Socialists with drawn
swords, and 10 of the latter were wounded.
The rioting at Louvain began at about
7:30 tonight. A band of Socialists parad
ed the streets of the town, smashing win
dows with bottles and rivets. They broke
through the police cordons In the Rue
Tierehnont. The -civic guards stationed
in the Place Saint Antoine ultimately be
came hard pressed by the rioters and fired
a volley. The guard flred a second volley
in front of the Catholic Club. It .is ru
mored that 12 policemen were wounded.
In some quarters the number of wounded
policemen Is placed at 20, and several are
said to have been mortally injured. All
the streets of Louvain are barred, and the
maintenance of peace has been assumed
by the military.
The general council of the labor party
met this morning and decided to continue
the strike, but peacefully. Numbers of
the strikers, however, -are resuming work,
and tranquillity is reported from all parts
of Belgium.
German Socialists Assist.
BERLIN, April 18-The Socialist execu
tive committee has sent 10.000 marks to
assist the Belgian Socialist movement, and
has published a call to the German So
cialists, asking them to make individual
contributions for the same purpose.
STUDENT TROUBLES IX RUSSLA..
Most of the Moscow Rioters May Be
Exiled to Siberia.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 12. The St
Petersburg University and a number of
other high educational institutions were
reopened yesterday. The attendance was
light, and bottles of Ill-smelling chemicals
were opened In many of the lecture-rooms.
Student reports give the total number
of arrests in Moscow during the last two
or three weeks as 1800. They anticipate
the exile to Siberia of the greater part
of the 400 students who offered the gov
ernment armed resistance from the Uni
versity of Moscow.
The turbulent elements attempt to util
ize the theaters as places for the distribu
tion of revolutionary literature. At Nijnl
Novgorod, during the recent celebration
of the birthday anniversary of Gogol,
the Russian author, leaflets were thrown
from the gallery of a theater at a mo
ment when the place waa darkened. The
ushers picked up the packages and began
distributing them, ihinklng they were the
atrical notices.
From many towns it is reported that po
litical prisoners are generally resorting
to starvation tactics to enforce their re
lease cr obtain a hearing. Forty-eight
persons thus secured their release a short
time ago from a detention prison in this
city, where they had been held without
an inquiry for nearly a year. In the great
transport prison for condemned criminals
here, which is now filled with political
jrlsoners, the wardens are seeking to dis
suade their charges from refusing food
fcy promising their Telease shortly.
Many students are preparing to go
abroad for study. It Is said that this
action has caused more serious attention
to be given, to the oroject, attributed to
the Finance Minister, M. de Wltte, to in
crease the fee for the Issue of passports
to go abroad. General report has It that
the Minister seriously proposed to charge
all Russians who desired to go abroad 300
rubles for the first six months and 200
rubles for each additional half-year.
Passport fees were Increased two years
ago from 5 to 15 rubles a year, the ad
dition being for the benefit of the Red
Cross Society.
SWINDLER, NOT AN INVENTOR.
Gnnsvrlndt, the Flying: - Machine
Man, Arrested at Berlin.
BERLIN, April 18. Herman Ganswindt.
whose so-called flying machine has at
tracted wld attention here and abroad,
was arrested today for protracted decep
tion, forgery and gulling the public into
subscribing- for shares of an aeroplane
company. He obtained money in small
sums from hundreds of persons. Gana
windt recently flooded the papers here
with Immense advertisements, of flying
machines, containing the indorsements of
clergymen and other persons inexperi
enced in business from all parts of Ger
many. It transpired that some of the
names were forged, including the name of
Duke Ernest Guenther of Schleswlg-Hol-stein.
Emperor William's brother-in-law.
The police had long suspected Ganswindt
and detectives had been working on the
case for (five months. He recently of
fered to the War Minister for 20,000,000
marks a flying machine which, he said,
would reach the planet Mars. The pris-

oner also claimed to have Invented a
motor having multiplying powers, re
sulting in a sort of perpetual motion.
Ganswindt, who was originally a lawyer
and then a farmer, has been experiment
ing for 10 years with various visionary
inventions, none of which practically real
ized his expectations.
Starvation and Disease in Rnssla.
ST. PETERSBURG, AprIL 18. The re
ports received here from the famine-1
stricken district of Russia more than
justify the anticipations of acute suffer
ing in those localities. Scurvey and ty
phoid fever are spreading and devastat
ing the peasantry throughout the whole
of the Altai (highlands of Siberia) region,
formerly the chief granary of Siberia.
The starving people there have consumed
even the last remnants of their seed
grain and no Spring crops have heen
sown. The last wheat sold In Altai
fetched 2 roubles per pood against the
normal price of 16 to 20 kopecks per pood.
In some places, the scarcity of fodder
is so great that half the houses have been
unthatched to save the lives of the
cattle and horses.
The gravity of the situation is evi
denced by the latest disease statistics.
At Menzenlinsk, Government of Cufa,
there have been upwards of 4000 cases
of typhoid; at Bellbelsky CS2 cases havo
been reported, and at Akmolllnsk over
1900 cases havo occurred. Similar re
ports come from Voronej, Kzean and
Saratoff. The Red Cross Society is fur
nishing all the aid at Its command In the
way of free kitchens and medicines.
Scandal In Illprh Life.
LONDON, April 18. The Marquis of
Downshlre was granted a divorce today
because of the misconduct of the Mar
chioness, who was a Miss Hare, with Cap
tain Joseph Laycock, of the yeomanry.
The case was not defended, counsel for
the charges made. A pathetic letter. !
written subsequently to the separation by
the Marchioness, was read in court. In it
she appealed to the Marquis, for the sake
of the past, to speak one word of fare- 1
well and say he would try to forgive her
and they need never meet again. He ig-
nored the appeal. The co-respondent, Lay
cock, Is a millionaire, and Is well known
In hunting and yachting circles. He served
under General French in South Africa,
and was twice mentioned In the dis
patches. He was best man at the mar
riage of the Duke of Westminster. Lay
cock is the owner of the motor car which
won the Paris-Berlin race.
Yerkes' Traction Plans.
IrONDON, April 18. During the course
of today's session of the select committee
of the House of Lords, appointed to in
quire into the merits of the various pro
posed railroad schemes for London, the
opponents of some of Charles T. Yerkes'
plans objected to the introduction of
American capital, contending that all or
ders for the machinery and equipment re
quired for Mr. Yerkes scheme were going
to the United States.
Lord Knutsford, a member of, the com
mittee, interposed and remarked that the
committee did not care whether the cap
ital was American or British, so long as
the committee was satisfied that the line
would be properly financed.
German Tariff Changes.
BERLIN, April IS. At, today's session
of the tariff committee of the Reichstag,
the Imperial Secretary of State for the In
terior, Count von Posadowski-Wehner, an
nounced that the government under no
circumstances would agree to tax raw
copper, concerning which petitions were
now reaching him. Clauses 124 to 130, of
the new tariff bill, relating to the duties
of animal fats, were adopted in accord
ance with the government proposals.
Australian Tariff Bill.
MELBOURNE, Victoria, April 18. The
Federal House of Representatives today
reduced the duty on imported machinery
from 20 to 15 per cent. The tariff bill
was afterwards passed through the com
mittee stage. It goes to the Senate April
23. The bill contains a provision allow
ing a suspension of duties where there
Is evidence that such duties lead to the
formation of trusts and combinations.
Lively Fight at Denver.
DENVER, April 18. Rube Smith, of
Denver, tonight defeated Eddie Toy, of
California, before the Centennial Club.
The decision was given alter 10 rounds of
lively fighting.
BOERS GIVEN MORE TIME
DELAY IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
No Military Armistice, hut Facilities
Granted for Further Consulta
tion on the Terms.
LONDON, April 18. The Government
leader, A, J. Balfour, In the House of
Commons today, made the following Im
portant statement:
"After two conferences between Lord
Mllner, the British High Commissioner In
South Africa, and Lord Kitchener, and
the Boer delegates at Pretoria, Lord
Kitchener, while refusing to grant an
armistice on military grounds, has agreed
to give facilities for the election and
maintaining of representatives of the va
rious Boer commands to consider the po-
1 sltlon. The Boer leaders have, therefore,
left Pretoria to carry out this plan."
Mr. Balfour added that it was not ex
pected that communication between the
British authorities and the Boer leaders
could be resumed in less than three
weeks. Mr. Balfour's statement made
a generally favorable impression.
It is asserted officially that the Conti
nental statements to the effect that the
Boer leaders went to Pretoria at the sug-
iae
JOHN DALZELL
gesion of the British authorities, are ab
solutely unfounded. The action of the
Boers was entirely spontaneous, and Is
regarded here as evidence of a desire to
bring about a settlement by peaceful ne
gotiations and as being Indicative of the
character of the advice which will be
given to the burghers by the leaders who
are now returning to their various com
mands. No Cruelty in British Camps.
NEW YORK', April 18. Rev. Dr. Joseph
Hertz, who was a member of Lord Mil
ner's high or advisory committee In South
Africa, and chaplain of the Rand Rifles,
has arrived in this city, his former home.
When the war broke out. Dr. Hertz was
expelled from Johannesburg by Mr. Kru
ger for being an Ultlander. He has since
visited many of the British concentra
tion camps in South Africa. Of these
camps and on kindred subjects Dr. Hertz
says:
'"The stories of the British cruelty to
ward the wives and families of the'Boers
In the concentration camps are absurd.
It is not the fighting Boer who makes
these charges, but the stay-at-homes.
Why, the Boer In the field sends his fam
ily to the British to take care of. so that
he will not be hampered by them whtlo
fighting. While there were but 9000 chil
dren attending school in the Orange
Free State before the war started, there
are now 14,000 at school under the Brit
ism governmental rule."

NEW YORK, April IS. Ex-Governor
James S. Hogg, of Texas, who has just
arrived from London, where he has been
since February, will remain here a week
or more "before continuing; his Journey to
Texas. Mr. Hogg laughingly refused to
discuss the "knee breeches" episode, but
consented to express himself on the Boer
War.

announced In the House of Commons to
day that no rebate of duty would be al
lowed on re-exported flour made from Im
ported wheat upon which the new duty
of 3 pence (6 cents) per hundredweight
had been paid.
The list of applications for the portlcm
of the new loan, 16,000.000, offered to the
L public, were closed this morning, owing
to the heavy oversubscription and the in
Jury to the market resulting from lock
ing up such a large amount of money.
British Consols Oversubscribed.
NEW YORK. April 1S.-J. P. Morgan

ILLNESS OF WILHELMINA.
Serious Case of Typhoid Fever j De
velops. THE HAGUE, April 18. An official bul
letin was issued this morning from Castle
Loo, stating that Queen Wilhelmlna
passed a fairly quiet night. The alarm
ing fever which complicated the Queen's
condition is now officially admitted to be
typhoid. A special edition of the official
journal this morning publishes the doc
tors' statement as follows:
"The supposition entertained by the
Queen's physicians since the commence
ment of Her Majesty's Illness has become
a certainty. It is now established that
the Queen is suffering from typhoid fever.
Up to the present time the malady has run
Its ordinary course."
The question of establishing a regency
is being seriously considered by the Neth
erlands Government, and It is thought
probable, in view of the possible long ill
ness of the Queen, that the States-General
(Parliament) will be summoned in Joint
session at an early date to take action in
the matter.
The. gates of the Castle Loo have been
placarded with a notification reading:
"Typhoid fever within." This was in
compllapce with the Dutch, law requiring
every house in which a contagious disease
exists to post a notice to that effect outside.
Fever Has Not Aeated.
HET LOO, Holland, April 18, 7 P. M.
Queen Wllhelmina's fever has not abated,
but the condition of the royal patient Is
said to be satisfactory. Her Majesty's
physicians are said to be less anxious, as
It is believed the malady will not assume
the ordinary malignant character. Queen
Wilhelmlna is visited by her doctors three
times a day. She Is supposed to have con
tracted her illness as the result of a chill.
Among the cable messages received at
the palace today Inquiring as to the
Queen's condition was one from President
Roosevelt.
Prince Henry to Be Resent.
LONDON April 19. The Rotterdam cor
respondent of the Dally Chronicle says he
learns that the Queen-mother will de
cline the regency because she wishes to
nurse her daughter, and that the gov
ernment will propose that Prince Henry
become regent for six months.
England's Tax on Bread.
NEW YORK, April 18. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach is quoted as having said
that the duty of 3 pence a hundred
weight on grain and 5 pence on flour
will amount to an insignificant fraction
on a auartern loaf, says a Tribune dis
patch from London. The bakers, how
ever, frightened by the rise In the price
of flour, have In some cases put an extra
penny on the loaf. The Cobden Club Is
trying to arrange a demonstration In
Free Trade Hall, Manchester, against
the tax. Mincing Lane dealers claim that
Import will produce 2.000,000 or 3,000,000
more than the Chancellor of the Exche
quer estimated.
Minister Slplagnlnc's Successor.
ST. PETERSBURG, 'April IS. Senator
von Plehew, Secretary of State for Fin
land, has been appointed Minister of the
Inferior, succeeding the late M. Slplag
ulne, who was assassinated April 15.
The appointment Indicates a continuance
of the reactionary policy. The new Min
ister made his reputation by the prosecu
tion of the wars with the Socialists. He
was director of police In 1SS1. and Is said
to be a great friend of M. Pobicdonsteff,
the Privy Councillor and Chief Procura
tor of the Holy Synod. It has been re
ported that the assassin of M. Siplagulne
poisoned himself In prison. The report
lacks confirmation.
Clericals Opposed a Grant.
BUDAPEST, April 19. There was an
exciting discussion In the lower house of
the Diet yesterday on an appeal to grant
0C0 kroner (about S53,a) to the Hungar
ian novelist, Maurus Jokal, for editing and
ethnographical work. The Clericals vio
lently opposed the grant, on the ground
of Jokal's religious and political views.
After much uproar the grant was ap
proved, 124 to 20.

LONDON, April 18. Mrs. Vezln, wife of
Hermann Vezln. an American actor

her bedroom window at Margate, last
night, and died a few hours later. Her

DAN CREEDON QUITS.
Yonngr Peter Jackson's Stomach
Punches Too Much for Him.
BALTIMORE, April IS. Dan Creedon
quit at the end of the fifth round of a
light with Young Peter Jackson here to
night As the gong struck for the sixth
round, Bobby Dobbs, one of Creedon's
seconds, got In front of Creedon and told
Referee Charley White, of New Yqrk, that
Jackson's stomach punches had made
Cre'edpn s0 sick at the stomach that he
was unable to continue the fight. Cree
don nodded assent, and the referee an
nounced to the audience that Creedon
really was a sick man: that Jackson's
stomach punches were too much for him,
and he believed If the fight had gone an
other round, ho would have been com
pelled to stop it. This decision gave gen
eral satisfaction.

A COAL-MINER'S
AWFUL PERIL
SAVED BY A MINISTER FROM A
TERRIBLE DEATH.
The Story o the Rcscne as Told by
the Man Himself To the Knowl
edge and Confidence of the Rev.
Ernest Graves He Owes His Life.
David Collins, a coahnlner, employed In
one of the mines at New Straitsvllle, O.,
had a narrow escape from a horrible
death. He tells the story himself as fol
lows: "While. I was at work in the mine," he
says, "I began to notice a feeling of op
pression. It came upon me very grad
ually, but steadily grew worse and worse,
until finally I became really sick. My
stomach was most affected. It became
very sensitive and would not retain food
at all. My bowels also troubled me. my
limbs were swollen, and I had frequent
hemorrhages of the teeth and gums and
nose. For nine months I was under a
physician's care, but I kept growing worse
till I was obliged to stay In bed. After
I had been In bed three days six different
physicians called and all pronounced my
case incurable. They said I had perni
cious anaemia one of the most hopeless
of diseases.
"Then, when the doctors acknowledged
that they had done all they could, and I
could not take their medicine, nor .could
they prescribe anything else, the " Rev.
Ernest Graves, pastor of the Baptist
Church here, suggested the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. My
stomach retained the pills when the physi
cians' medicines produced the greatest dis
tress. As near as my nurses could judge.
Immediate relief followed.
"There Is only this to add: My death
was hourly expected, and upon taking Dr.
Williams.' Pink Pills according to direc
tions, I left my bed In a few weeks and
was on the way to recovers'. I continued
their use and was cured. Many others
hereabouts are using this wonderful medi
cine with excellent results."
The Rev. Ernest Graves, pastor of the
Baptist Church. New Straitsvllle. to whom
Mr. Collins refers, speaks of his case as
follows:
"We have a striking example of what
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
have done In this community at the pres
ent time, a case that borders on thqf mi
raculous. It Is that of David Collins, a
member of my church, and a very valu
able helper In it. A few months ago he
was taken very sick and was given up to
die by six doctors. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills cured him, and so thoroughly that
now this man who the doctors said must
die can be found any day working In the
coalmine. I count It a great privilege to
be able to say I advised, nay, rather I
Insisted upon, his taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
"I have great confidence In these pills
and firmly believe them to be all that Is
claimed for them. This confidence has
been brought about In various ways. In
the first place, this remedy was brought
especially to my notice by my wife's
brother, who had suffered from anaemia
and was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Since learning of the fact I -have
always deemed It my duty to advise the
use of this medicine to all I meet who
are suffering with that or kindred disor
ders." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
will never fall to effect a cure If used
persistently for a reasonable length of
time. They may be had of all druggists
or direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine
Co., six 50-cent boxes for two dollars and
a half, nostnald on receipt of price.
Franclsque, ridden by Buchanan (Amef
lcan), came In second today In the race

first place during the day's racing.
Injured In a Prizefight.
CHICAGO. April IS In the Santry-.
Tommy Sullivan contest at Apollo Hall,
Referee Johnny Mclntyre decided it was
"no contest." After about a minute and
a half of boxing In the third round, San
try fell out of a clinch to the floor and
Sullivan fell on top of him. Santry could
not arise, and the referee picked him up
and held him. Sullivan tried to continue
the fight, but the referee pushed him
away and called a halt. Santry was un
able to continue, saying Sullivan put his
knee Into the groin, disabling him. A
doctor found him Injured as he described.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures All the
Varied Forms of
Rheumatism.
It Purifies the Blood and He-
mores Every Trace of
Poisonous Acid.
The Great Medcinc Has Cured More
Rheumatic Sufferers Than All
Other Combined Remedies,
Sufferers from varied forms of rheuma
tismarticular, muscular, Inflammatory,
lumbago and gout, should 'bear In mind
that there Is a morbid principle in the
blood when rheumatism Is present. This
morbid principle is uric acid, which cir-'
culates with the blood and acts upon the
joints and muscles, causing the pains and
agonies of rheumatism. Paine's Celery
Compound Is the only scientific remedy
for the permanent banishment of every
form of rheumatism. If your joints are
painful; if the knees, wrists, elbows, or
ankles are swollen, a few bottles of
Paine's Celery Compound will soon re-
move all your troubles and pains. If you1
have Inflammatory or sciatic rheumatism
accompanied with fever, acute, darting" j
pains in the sciatic nerve from the hlpj
down the leg, Paine's Celery Compound
taken at once will soon drive out the
disease, and make you strong and active.
At this particular time, when rheuma-.
tlsm frequently lays the foundation for
other Incurable and grive troubles, we
specially urge the honest use of at least,
one bottle of Dr. Phelps life-giving med
icine, Paine's Celery Compound. No case
is too complicated or difficult for this
king of medicines. Thousands of happyi
and grateful men" and women sing Its,
praises and continually recommendMt. It
Is the only medicine that can rescue peo
ple from agony and death after physi
cians pronounce them incurable. Mrs.
Louisa BIx, Wesley, la., says:
"Some time ago my husband was taken
doTvn with Inflammatory rheumatism, so
that he was unable to get out of bed'
alone or to dress himself. We employed'
good doctors and used many kinds of
medicines, but with no relief. We finally
sent for a bottle of Paine's Celery Com
pound, and before he had. finished It, he
was able to be at work. Another bottle
entirely cured him."
