CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Wheat. Rye, and Barley Doing Finely
Effect of the Frost on Fruit

WASHINGTON CITY. May ll-The depart
ment OF agricu!ture's report for April of
the condition of the crops says that the
condition of wheat April 30 was o. 9 per
cent; rye, 9I2; barley. 96 ,; gra,s. 90.
This is an advance of one point in wheat
and the same in rye, and the condition is
very uniform, no state averaging less
than % in wheat, rye. or barley. The eff
feet OF the recent cold weather on the fruit
has been to damage Strawberries. grapes,
cherries, and peaches, but not 50 much as
was expected. In some states, however,
the damage is very serious. In Kentucky
grapes are ruined, and in Ohio the fruit
suffered from 30 to 50 per cent. In Michi-

REVOLUTION IN BELGIUM.
A Specimen of the FIRE nch Style Prom.
ised by the Socialists.

tSeu Dy the SOCIaiiSts
LONDON, May 11-Thirty-eigh suffrage
meetings were held yesterday in Brussels.
and other cities in Belgium and the at
tendance numbered hundreds of thou
sands. Many of the speeches made were
of the most violent character, the speak
ers urging that the working people must
at any hazard assert their right to a share
in the government. The upper classes
were warned that the.- oligarchy was APP
preaching close, aud that nothing short
of universal suffrage. promptly granted,
would be likely TO avert a revolution. A
Socialist orator in Brussels asserted that
the day was not far distant when royalty
would be brought down as it had been
brought down by the French revolution,
and that the bsyonets employed to prop
up thrones would be turned against those
who sat on the thrones.
The King Favors Concession.
The utterances were enthusiastically
applauded. At Client, where the suf-
frage agitation has heretofore been com.
paratively undemonstrative, the people
assembled in thousands, and in such a
threatening manner as to call for the in
reference of the military and police to
prevent rioting. In Antwerp, Client,
Leige and Charleroix as we'll as Brussels,
the garrisons were kept ready for instant
service, and the police were reinforced
by gen'darmes. The utmost anxiety is
felt by the authorities as to the future,
and it is said that both king and cabinet
favor ample concessions on the suffrage
| issue as means of placating the work
ing classes.
But Parliament Is Stubborn.
The majority of parliament is, however,
still stubbornly opposed to the surrender
of the powers and privileges which the
upper orders in Belgium have so long
possessed exclusively, and the farthest
they are willing to go is to place the SUI.
frage within reach of the lesser taxpay,
ers, still excluding the vast majority Of
the workingmen. In England and Ger
! many the situation is viewed with equal
anxiety, as it is felt that the agitation is
! favorable to France, and that the Social
ist element would rise en- masse in behalf
of France in the event of war.
