4 Revolution Impending in Belgium that
Hay Fire the Trains Leading to the
Thrones of Other European Nations
The Rights of Mankind rs Against
Privileged Glasses Must be Asserted
LoNpoS, May 1l.-Thirty-eight suf-
f-agc meetings were held yesterday in
BRUSSELS and other cities of Belgium,
and the attendance numbered hundreds
of thousands. Many of the speeches
made were of the most violent char
acter, the speakers urging that the
working people must at any hazard
assert their right to share in thc gov
ernment. The upper classes were
warned that their oligarehy was ap-
preaching n close. and nothing short OF
universal suffrage, promptly granted,
would he likely to avert a revolution.
4 socialist orator in Brussels asserted
that the day was not far distant when
ROYALTY would he brought down as it
had been brought down by the French
revolution and that the bayonets EN-
ployed to prop up thrones would be
turned against those who sat on
thrones The utterances were enthusi-
astically chcered.
At Ghent. where the suffrage agita-
ton has heretofore been comparatively
undemonstrative. the people assembled
in thousands and in such I threatening
manner as to call for the interference
If the military and police to prevent
rioting. In Antwerp, Ghent, Liege and
Charleroi. aS well rs Brussels the gar
risons were kept ready for instant SER
vice. and the police were reinforced by
gendarmeS. The miners on strike
assembled rs ON May-day, but without
any serious exhibition of violence.
The utmost anxiety is felt by the an
thorities rs to the future, and it is said
that both king and cabinet favor ample
concessions on the suffrage issue as n
means of placating the working classes.
The majority of parliament is, how
ever. still stubbornly opposed to the
surrender of the powers and privileges
which the upper orders in Belgium
have SO long possessed exclusively, and
the farthcst they are willing to go is to
place the suffrage within reach of the
lesser tax payers, still excluding the
vast majority of the wOrllingmen.
In England and Germany the situa-
ton is viewed with equal anxiety, and
it is felt that the agitation is favorable
| to France. and that the socialist ele-
ment would rise en- maSse in behalf OF
| France in the event of a war.
