Brussels, April 21. The chamber ol
representatives by .St to IU votes, ro
i.vteil tho proiHwil to revl.-o tho H.1

Mr. Snuvti, Soleallst, accused tho

Itut thev would be unable to oxtormin
into Socialism, he added, and enough
i Socialists: would remain to continue
(he struggle. As tho gotermnent win
not willing to counsel tho king to do
hi duty, nothing was left but for tho
Socialists to address his majesty direct
ly and plead fur his intervention. If
lie but said the word, Jieaee wouhl Iw
re-established.
M. Woosto, leader of tho Right party
in the chamber, when summing up the
debate for the gotornment, pointed out
that a vote hositle to revision did not
ply absolute hostility to reform, if
tl.i was discussed in peaeefiil times.
"The government supporters are pre
lured," said M. WiH-ste, "to ivnider
lronHls for reform in plural voting,
although they could not go ns f.ir as
universal suffrage pure and simple."
This spotvh is regarded as show ing
the willingness of the government to
I grant partial reform in the future.
I lireut excitement followed the vote
' in the chamber. The Socialists held a
! meeting in the Maison tin People, at
which M. Vanderveld, the leader of the
Socialists in ltolgiiim, urged his hearers
to lie mint and said he hoped Mug
Leopold would still intervene.
The meeting passed a resolution to
continue to strike and dispersed with
out disorder.
The people of this city are generally
imnatient with the agitation, which
greatly Impedes trade and business.
It is rumored here that King Leopold
has decided to take tho inltiatie and
dissolve parliament.
A serious not has occurre.1 at Lou
vain, near Brussels. Tho Socialists
held a demonstration in front of the
residence of M. Schollaert, president of
the chamber of deputies. Tho police,
in attempting to disperse them, were
received with a shower of stones. Tho
civic guard then fired on tho mob. A
similar riot occurred in another part of
