LABOR oMNIA VINCIT.
Belgian Workmen Force Revis-
ion of the Constitution.

LONDON, May 81. = The working
classes of Belgium have won a signal
victory in compelling the central sec
tion of the chamber of representatives
to declare in favor of a revision of the
constitution. The great strike started
in the early part of the month was un-
precedented in its motive, which had
nothing to do directly with wages or
hours, put was intended as the only
protest the disfranchised workingmen
could make against the denial of the
suffrage. They determined that if they
could not vote they would not work,
and that the constitution must be
revised III the interest OF liberal
suffrage. The Peuple organization of
workingmen called on the minister to
make frank declaration regarding the
revision of the constitution, which the
workingmen believed to be destined to
oblivion by calculated delays. The
strike spread throughout the four great
coal basins of Belgium, and one after
another, the various Industries fell into
line with the movement, and trade and
alysis. The leading mine owners and
metalurgists became alarmed. They
exposed to the king the immense injury
already done and the greater injury
threatened to Belgian industry by the
delay in voting for the revision. The
traders of Seraing petitioned the
chambers in the same sense. The
widest rumors got afloat, and almost
created a panic. 1t is said and even
published that German troops would
enter Belgium to re-estabiish order.
This report aroused patriotic indigna
ton, but not put an end to the strife.
Numerous arrests were made with
view to coercing the strikers, but the
men remained firm, and at length the
majority of the chamber formally signi
fed willingness to support the proposed
revision. and aid in effecting substan-
tial reform. To-day the strike ended,
and the Belgian workmen are every
where jubilant over their victory.
Should there be any faltering on the
part of the ministry or the chamber, the
workingmen stand ready to come out
again at the call Of their leaders.

LONDON, May 21.-Lord Salisbury in
his address at Glasgow yesterday. said:
FOR many years an anxious part of the
duties of the foreign office has been our
relations with Mohammedan communi-
ties, lest. their crumbling and decay
might cause a general disturbance.
That danger is now decreasing, and in
some parts has passed away. The sui
tan of Turkey has devoted his energies
to repairing the confusion into which
his dominion has fallen, and has sue
ceeded in so averting danger that the
peace of Europe is no longer menaced
from that quarter. Still more hopeful
is the revival in Persia, where there is
such desire for greater liberty.
and such an increase of material
progress as to Justify the
hope that that nation will never cause
conflict with Christian powers, The re-
yiVal in Egypt also is among one of the
most wonderful events of this genera
ton. Referring to the convention with
Portugal, Lord Salisbury said it was
no easy matter to arrange that compact.
England had to refrain from anything
likely to lnJure state linked with old
recollections of kindness, and which
must be regarded rs an essential pOr-
ton of the European body. On the
other hand, we had to satisfy our coun-
trymen of the Cape colony, who could
not understand why Portugal was
allowed to claim, on paper, the an
nexation Of broad belt of At
rica. Ii this belt had been
held by the Anglo-Saxon race, it
would have been led to civilization two
centuries ago. The people of Cape
Colony wanted Portugal to be thrust
aside altogether. England had to OBJ
serve the precepts of international law
and could not ignore the claims of Port
ugal to certain portions of Africa. The
convention gives England highlands on
which white men can settle and work.
The low lands along the Zambesi were
offered to Portugal, and can only be
worked by people born there and hav-
ing the blood of that country. Refer
ring to East Africa, Lord Salisbury held
that the railway about to be carried to
Victoria Nyanza would destroy the slave
trade through the abolition OF caravan
traffic. He concluded by praising Mr..
Gladstone for the course he adopted in
recent years of uniformly treating
foreign affairs without party feeling.

LOUISVILLE, May 21.-A story of
brutal raYaging, murder and swift ven
geance on the two murderers, comes
from Sandy Hook, mountain
town near Ashland, in Eastern
Kentucky. Near Sandy Hook, KY,
Maud Fleener died recently from being
thrown by her horse and ravished by
George and John Wilcox, brothers,
who had been her Suitors. She
had promised to marry Amos
Queen, who met her while
she was teaching school near Sandy
Hook and about three weeks ago started
to visit a friend near where she had
taught. The WilcoXes were passing the
road she Travelled, saw her
coming, hid in the bushes, scared
her horse, the horse ran away, she was
thrown and had both legs broken. The
WilcoXes picked her up unconscious,
revived her,dTeW straWS as to which she
should be compelled to marry, bore her
TO cabin, and demanded that she agree
to marry John, to whose lot she fell.
She refused, and tainted. They tried
to set her limbs, and kept her pris-
oner in the cabin. When found by her
brother and fiance she said the Will
coxes did it, and died soon after.
The examination shows that she had
been chained to the cabin wall, and had
been outraged. The WilcoXes were
captured and confessed, whereupon
they were Shot to death by the brother
and lover. They eXplainedin the confess
sion that they chained the girl because
she had. attempted to escape. Miss
Fleener was the daughter of a promi-
nent citizen of Richmond, Va, who
moved TO Sandy Hook several years ago
and died there. She was only twenty
one years old, church mempeI, and
Sunday school teacher.

Chairman Finley VIII Insist
on Obedience to Orders
By All Roads.

The classification of freight by rail
road companies was the topic Of very
interesting little discussion before the
interstate commerce commission at the
federal building yesterday morning.
The case in question was the complaint
of a. Van Hamert, president of the
Grand Meadow Alliance, in which it
was charged that the Milwaukee rail-
road was discriminating against the
Alliance company in the matter of
rates on timothy seed. Four of
the five interstate commissioners were
present, Messrs Morrison, Bragg,
Knapp and VeaZey. In the absence of
Judge Cooley, Col. Morrison presided
at the hearing. The Minnesota Rail-
way commissioners were present as we'll
as number of Milwaukee officials,
prominent among whom was A. C. Bird,
the able general freight and traffic man
ager of that line
The rate charged by the Milwaukee
Tor the transportation of timothy seed
from Grand Meadow to Chicago is %
cents per hundred, while the rate on
naXseed is but Is cents per hundred.
Inc complaint alleges that flaXseed
brlngs higher price than timothy seed.
Mr.. Van Hamert presented his
case in plain, matter of fact
way, and was answered by Traffic Man
ager Bird. who made quite a lengthy
argument to prove that the complaint
had no foundation. No violation of the
Interstate commerce law had occurred.
FlaXseed and timothy seed were not
competing commodities further than
III the amount produced. Flaxseed was
shipped in bulk, while timothy seed was
shipped in sacks. Minnesota in 1890
produced 2,163,090 bushels of flaXseed,
and only 395,649 bushels of timothy
seed. The classification was fixed ac-
cordlng to the relative amounts pro-
duced. This might be reversed at Grand
Meadow, but if so it was an exception.
How are the classifications of freight
rates to local points fixed in this state?'
asked Col. Morrison.
This question was answered by Gen.
Becker. who said that the railroads
made the classification; if satisfactory
it was accepted by the state commission.
but not officially. He was in favor of a
uniform system of local rates, but it was
a hard thing to handle, owing to the re-
latlOnS between the different railroads.
The commissioners took a great in
terest iii this case and made MANY in
quiries. 1t was taken under advise
ment. Tomorrow the sugar cases will
be heard at Fargo.

THE WESTERN CONGRESS.
Omaha the Next Place Of Meeting
Free Silver Debate.

DENVER, Col, May 21.-In the session
of the trans-Mississippl congress to-day,
resolutions were offered indorsng the
Nicaragua and Hennepln canals, the
Torey bankruptcy bill. urging restric-
tion of immigration and naturalization.
favoring free coinage of silver and
favorng defenses for our deep water
harbors and navigable waters. The
question OF place for next meeting was
again taken up. On the first ballot
Omaha had IA while New Orleans had
only 1O5. and Omaha was declared to be
the choice of the congress. The
silver question was then discussed
at great length by Judge Symes and
Chairman Ferry, of Utah, for. and ex-
Gov. Anthony, of Kansas. against free
and unlimited coinage of silver. Gov.
Anthony's principal point was that the
value of silver and gold was regulated
by the law OF supply and demand, the
same as that of commoner metals; that
the cry that silver was deprecated by
limited coinage was delusion. Judge
SymeS read statistics to prove how fool
ish it was to suppose that, should the
United States establish free and un-
limited coinage of silver, there would
be great influx of silver into the
United States from Europe. He argued
that even now, with the limited silver
coinage of European countries. there
was not enough silver there to supply
the demand.

sHIFTY CONDUCTORS.
They Want the Benefits Without
RESPONSIBILITIES

ST. LOUIS, May 21.-It is a very sig
nificant fact that while the order of
Railway Conductors decided to federate,
the convention took no step looking to
the accomplishment of that much
talked-of question. No application has
been made, and for that reason the
action of the committee might as well
have been left undone. The order seeks
to become members without making
application, so that if they should at
any time become dissatisfied with the
confederation they can withdraw and
say the officers had 10 right to federate.
There seems no doubt that the move is
a deliberate one, and will be stunning
blow to the railroad employees. The
officers decline to discuss the matter.

CAss CITY, Mich, May 21.-Walter
Richards, of Grand township, Union
county, was arrested yesterday for the
murder of John Castle. OF late rumor

Castle fell with charge of buckshot in

in a few minutes. The investigation
which followed showed that Richards
had an old gun. and that he loaded il

Settling Tourist Rates.

CHICAGO, May 21.-There is no longer
any doubt that the question of summer
tourist rates will be satisfactorily set
tied by the Western roads. Chairman
FINLEY has named next Monday as the
date for special meeting to consider
the subject. The agreement of the lines
running between st. Louis and ST. Paul
not to make lower rate between those
points for the season of 1891 than so per
cent. of the standard round trip rate has
paved the way for an amicable adjust
ment of the whole matter.

SECRETLY SHADING RATES.
Eastern Lines Are Doing 1t. and
Western Lines Take Advantage

w cSCefn LINES rake Advantage
of 1t.
CHICAGO, May 81 Chairman Walker
to-day handed down two decisions of
the board of commissioners of the West
ern Traffic association. One is in the
form of a resolution setting forth that
in certain cases rates from the terri
tory of the association to Eastern
points have been made by taking the
agreed tariff rates from the point of
shipment to the eastern boundary cf
the association and adding thereto rates
less than the published tariffs for the
transportation east of the eastern bound
airy line. This means that while the
Western roads may be guiltless of any
irregularities. some of the Eastern lines
are secretly shading rates, and that the
Western lines, knowing this, have been
quoting through rates to shippers on the
basis of the cuts made by their Eastern
connections. The commissioners decide
that the bylaws of the association pro-
hibit the making OF through rates in the
manner described. In their opinion
through rates cannot properly be made
otherwise than by the publication of a
through tariff, naming rates from point
of shipment 20 destination, or by the
addition of regular published rates to
and from some intermediate basing
point or points. By this construction of
the agreement it is hoped to put stop
to the manipulation of through rates.
which has been persistently practiced
of late at various junction points. The
other decision is in the matter of the
application of the Northern Pacific rail-
road from relief from the effect Of spe--
cial contracts made by certain com
panles whose lines constitute portion
of the Union Pacific system. 1t an,.aars
that number of contracts have
been made in which certain rates
are guaranteed for the Transportation
of freight not covered by the by laws of
the association or by the interstate COM
merce law. In these contracts proyi-
sion is made that the parties receiving
such rates shall ship, or cause to be
shipped, by the lines of the transporta-
tiOn company commonly known as the
Union Pacific system all freight which
they may receive from or forward to
any points reached by these lines or
their connections. In the opinion of
the board such contracts constitute an
obstacle to that fair division OF competi-
tive traffic between the members, which
is contemplated by the presidents
agreement. 1t is decided, therefore.
that the provision complained of shall
be Cancelled from all existing contracts.
and that hereafter no concessions or
agreements of any nature shall be made
in respect to other business than that
covered by the Western Traffic Associa-
ton agreement, which may have the eff,
feet of influencing the distribution of
business subject to the agreement of
that association.
